Good news. Transdermal estrogen HRT helps lower non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by up to 24% in a year. (Oral estrogen does not). 20% of post menopausal women worldwide have this chronic liver disease 🔥https://t.co/rTNelSLe2w
@MenoScandal@mariacaulfield I went to france last year to get HRT as I couldn’t get what I needed in the UK. Had an appointment with a friends GP and I had a prescription for what I needed within which I collected right away and at a cost of £25.
The 2023 UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Women list was launched yesterday by @GPTW_UK, and we are so pleased to have been recognised as a Best Place to Work for Women in the Medium Category (51-200 employees).
Watkins and Gunn is a great workplace for all.

The best thing about having a new EV - charging it just so you can sit in the house and make your car fart when someone approaches. Especially your kids. Thanks Elon. 💨 😂
This is a really important read. People don’t realise the benefits of oestrogen long term. It’s not just about during the peri/menopause it’s about women’s long term health.
As oestrogen supports brain function, there’s increasing evidence to suggest that taking HRT could also play a key role in reducing the risk of dementia, as shown with this observational research from the University of Arizona Center for Innovation in Brain Science.
This is something I talk more about in my book, and thought it was important to share.
