I recently had an inspiring day attending The Society of Homeopaths Annual Conference, which focused on Menopause & the Wisdom of Women. I wanted to share a few key takeaways – especially interesting if you or someone you know is navigating hormonal changes.
Hormones play a crucial role in nearly every system in the body – affecting mood, metabolism, sleep, energy, reproduction, and more. When they’re out of balance, the effects can be widespread and deeply felt.
The range of symptoms linked to hormonal imbalance is extensive. In my practice, I’ve seen homeopathy provide relief for hot flushes, night sweats, disrupted sleep, exhaustion, cravings, brain fog, mood swings, and various kinds of pain – from period pain and headaches to aching joints and limbs.
While the Conference included detailed discussions on homeopathy and specific remedies, what stood out to me most was the broader perspective: the importance of lifestyle changes and supportive practices that help women feel more in tune with their bodies during this transition.
Here are a few fascinating facts and helpful reminders that I took away from the event. Information that can make a real difference in everyday choices:
🧠 Movement Supports Memory
Many of my patients mention feeling more forgetful than usual. Did you know that regular physical activity can actually reduce memory issues? It’s a great reason to go for a daily walk, join a fitness class, or just move more throughout the day.
🚫 The Truth About Artificial Sweeteners
Choosing “sugar-free” isn’t always the best option. Artificial sweeteners have been found to increase appetite, which means they may work against weight management goals.
🌱 Soya & Hot Flushes
A diet rich in soya has been shown to significantly reduce hot flushes. Soya activates oestrogen beta receptors, making it a safe option—even for those with a history of breast or ovarian cancer.
💊 Choose High-Quality Supplements
Supporting your body with the right nutrients can make a big difference. I recommend BioCare supplements for their quality and formulation.

I was also reminded of some fascinating insights I came across in Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz – especially around the powerful connection between stress and weight regulation. Her work highlights just how profoundly stress can influence not only our hormones, but also how our bodies process food and store fat. I highly recommend reading the book if you’re interested in hormone balance or weight management.
Homeopathy offers a gentle, holistic approach to restoring hormonal balance without harsh side effects. Here are a few common hormonal conditions and homeopathic remedies that can be used.
