HRT: The Great Balancing Act

Join us for a special evening of widening horizons beyond the HRT towards the bigger picture of perimenopausal health.
About this Event

In perimenopause, balance is everything.
We can be on HRT and have fewer hot flushes and better sleep. And yet we can suffer from nutrient deficiencies and poor digestion, which need to be addressed.
Hormones Aren't the Whole Story
While having well-established benefits for improving several symptoms, we should not expect HRT to fix everything. That’s because women’s health is shaped by far more than our hormones alone.

From long-standing physiological factors such as genetics, suboptimal nutrient levels, impaired metabolism, and poor gut health to unhelpful behavioural patterns and reduced stress resilience shaped by adverse childhood and life experiences, there are loads of variables at play.
Striking a Healthy Balance
In the late 2020s, one of the major challenges in perimenopausal health for women is to understand not so much how HRT can help us (or why we should be on it) as what the full scope of support we need is.

Starting from learning to spot the stumbling blocks getting in the way of our hormonal health, we need to understand which symptoms might be related to hormonal changes, and which could have other contributing factors.

The trick is in striking a healthy balance between HRT and a more holistic approach to yourself, gaining a deeper understanding of our own bodies and increased confidence for making more informed decisions with every healthcare practitioner.
Live Event at Zwischenraum, Prenzlauer Berg
Join us for a special evening of widening horizons beyond the HRT towards the bigger picture of perimenopausal health – presented by nutritionist-coach Minna Holi.

We'll also hear from Alex Kitching of avluv underwear, a Berlin-based brand that designs wide-gusset underwear, who will share her journey of keeping the show on the road while juggling perimenopause symptoms.

Clinical insights and female entrepreneurship aside, this event is also an opportunity to have open conversations with other women navigating perimenopause, share experiences and ask those big questions that have been burdening you.

In this event, you will learn:

• How HRT can help you and when it’s time to seek support elsewhere
• Iron levels, thyroid function, gut health etc. may influence your symptoms.
• Life experiences and long-standing habits can shape your wellbeing.
• Personalised, practical ways to support your health incl. diagnostic testing.
• You can turn entrepreneurial dreams into reality during perimenopause.

With this in mind, we’ve exclusively reserved the beautiful, spacious Zwischenraum in Prenzlauer Berg for the purpose of creating room for open conversations, fresh perspectives and the kind of connection that can be rare in everyday life.

Join us at 6:30-9:00pm on Thursday 12th November for a special event over homemade nibbles, hot drinks, and light refreshments.

The venue capacity is strictly limited, so book your ticket, mark the day in your calendar, spread the word, and bring your fabulous girlfriends along!

Looking forward to welcoming you!

Minna & Alex
