How HRT Rebooted My Life and Libido – One Hormone at a Time

A sun-kissed revelation ☀️

April was “gloriously sunny and warm, what a treat!” and the perfect backdrop for my latest remix—my own hormones.

After bouncing between consultations, I fired up a fresh set-list of bio-identical and body-identical hormones. I used to think you pressed stop on HRT once the hot flush playlist cooled down. Wrong remix, baby!

“I started to get symptoms I didn’t even have during Perimenopause and Menopause, like the sudden heat flushes and sleeplessness… Turns out they were just hormone fluctuations affecting me.”

So I tweaked the dosage—progesterone every other night, oestrogen cream on alternating evenings, a shea boost every second day—and within a week the beat dropped:

“I have to say my sleep is delicious now, deep and soft and fulfilling… I just feel … Good, Calmly good, not excited jumping up and down good but that gentle breezy deep breath and sigh good…”

Why I’m climbing onto a soapbox

When you learn that balanced hormones can help fend off bone loss, heart disease and even some cancers, you stop waiting for symptoms and start demanding better baseline health. And get this:

“It is a dream to feel so healthy and well and happy in my own skin, to feel aroused and attracted, relaxed and fit. Iam now willing to stand in the soap box and encourage Women to take HRT!”

Spotlight on Black and Ethnic Women 🎤

Too many sisters in Black and other ethnic communities still skip the consultation queue—sometimes out of mistrust, sometimes because no one’s singing their song.

That changes this June. I’m teaming up with two hormone-therapy experts—one specialising in black and ethnic women—and a backstage crew determined to make everything accessible, relatable and totally non-intimidating.

Consider it my new girl-group: information, guidance and a front-row pass to personalised prescriptions. Because, honey, “not one dose fits everyone.”

How HRT turned the volume up—fast

After just seven days on my custom regimen:

• Sleep: blissful, eight-hour power-ballad snoozes
• Skin: hydrated, supple, stage-ready glow
• Mood: cool, calm and collected (with a cheeky sparkle)
• Energy: Pilates at dawn? Child’s play.
• Libido: let’s just say the encore got extended—“I am permanently aroused, which is interesting and fun!”

That’s an 80 percent upgrade on feeling merely “okay.” And who settles for a lukewarm single when you can drop a full-blown floor-filler?

Sugar, chocolate—can HRT tame the sweet tooth? 🍫

I’m still wrestling with my lifelong love affair with giant nut-studded chocolate bars—“the biggest pig!”—but I’m curious whether stable hormones might soften those cravings too. Watch this space; if HRT can help me ditch the sugar hangover, you’ll hear my victory squeal from ten blocks away.

The road ahead

Next month, I’ll spill all the tea on our upcoming project, share how to book your own consultation and reveal resources designed especially for women who’ve been left off the hormone guest list. Until then, remember:

“Why settle for good, not too bad, or low when you can feel Fantastic!!!”

Grab that mic, find a doctor who knows your tune and let HRT turn your midlife into the ultimate comeback tour. If it can crank my life up to vintage-Sinitta sparkle, just imagine what it could do for you.
