On this episode of Women On Fire^® we’re talking about the beauty of ageing, common concerns such as hair changes and pigmentation as well as makeup.

As we grow older our hair changes, our skin changes and the way we look changes.

And sometimes we’re not quite sure what to do.

The good news is that there are a lot of tools and options on hand and we’ve given you an overview in this episode.

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus was written in the 90s and became the biggest-selling relationship book of all time.

Since then, author John Gray has written over 20 more books including Beyond Mars and Venus which takes into account how times have changed.

John’s wisdom is legendary and he’s been a guest on many well-known shows such as Oprah and Dr Oz.

In this episode, he goes into the link between our sex hormones, our masculine and feminine sides, and their effect on relationships and libido.

Suitable for all ages as well as peri/menopause (so share it with everyone), John addresses the subject from a heterosexual viewpoint but it can translate to same sex relationships as well. He covers this in more detail in Chapter 9 of Beyond Mars and Venus, Mars and Venus In The Bedroom.

On this episode of Women On Fire® we’re talking about sex drive and the effect of menopausal hormones.

Many women find they lose their libido in perimenopause / menopause however others find just the opposite.

It can be frustrating but there are things you can do so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Dr Mirjana Janjic is a women’s health specialist with a specialist interest in state-of-the-art medical laser treatments for stress incontinence, vaginal atrophy, vaginal prolapse and snoring.

These are all common issues during menopause but many women are too embarrassed to talk about them. The good news is they’re usually treatable.

Indeed, after training with specialist gynaecologists in Europe who are the pioneers of minimally invasive gynaecological laser procedures, Dr Mirjana introduced the innovative approaches to Melbourne, Australia and then Auckland, New Zealand.

Dr Mirjana is a Fellow of the Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), Fellow of Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA) and a Board Certified Aesthetic Medicine Physician (AAAM).

Dr Linda Dear has the perfect training behind her to work with women navigating the waters of perimenopause/menopause.

Indeed, her background brings a wealth of knowledge of both holistic wellness and academic/medical training to the table.

Not only is Dr Linda a NAMS (North American Menopause Society) Certified Menopause Practitioner, she’s also a medical doctor with a fitness background.

In addition, she completed a psychology degree and post-graduate training in the ACT model of psychotherapy.

And as if that’s not enough, Dr Linda graduated from London Medical School and added a post-graduate diploma in obstetrics and gynaecology.

So to say she’s well-qualified to help women take a multi-pronged approach to manage menopause is something of an understatement.

There is so much conflicting advice and data about caffeine and alcohol, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

So we took a look into the subjects. And the truth is, it’s confusing for everyone.

Everyone is different and this is very true of women going through peri- and post-menopause.

So this episode lays out a few facts, a few theories, and a few experiences.
