Hello and welcome to RB Whole Woman Health

In the history of womankind, women have never experienced life quite like how it is today. Our mothers never had to negotiate emails, texts, WhatsApp groups, working full-time, always being available and contactable, managing children who have never been so busy or connected through devices, alongside family life, maintaining a marriage, eating well, sleeping well, exercising and still trying to stay slim, glowing, youthful, desirable and keep our energy levels up! I am exhausted just writing this and thinking about how we, as women, have slept walked into a society that is working against our hormones and our bodies.  

​

Rather than taking stock, really slowing down and examining how we are living our lives, and how we can change our lifestyles to suit our biology and become healthier and happier versions of ourselves, we are seemingly encouraged at every opportunity to see pharmaceuticals as the solution. We can prolong youthfulness with HRT, we can improve our sex drive by adding testosterone, we can take numerous versions of anti anxiety medication to help us with (unsurprising!) panic attacks and anxiety from our stressful lives, and we can take medications intended for diabetics to help us stay slim. There is a pill for every problem that is currently being created for women.

​

And for many women it is easier to take a pill, apply the creams, sip the potions and carry on with life. And that is fine. Some women have no choice and it is a question of survival. And for some women a helping hand from HRT is all that is needed to have the energy to improve other aspects of their health and life. And some women are not able to take HRT and are stuck wondering what to do and where to turn to. It is not black or white, it is not one way at the exclusion of another way. And there is certainly no right or wrong way.

​

But if in your heart and soul you know that there is an alternative way that will take some work but you know it will be worth it in the long run. That there is a journey to take towards a better way of life, better health, happiness and vitality. A way that involves getting to know yourself again and most importantly truly healing yourself rather than masking your symptoms with medicines. Or if you feel called to follow this path towards better health alongside accepting a helping hand from modern medicine then you are in the right place!
