Vol. 025 | The Hormone Warning Was Just Removed. What the Research Actually Says

On 10 November 2025, US regulators moved to remove the decades-old 'black box' warning from menopausal hormone therapy — the warning that, after a single 2002 trial, drove a generation of women off treatment. What the reversal changes, what it does not, and how to read the striking benefit figures now being quoted (HHS, 2025).

Vol. 024 | Are Your Ovaries Aging the Rest of You? The New Science of Ovarian Aging

Your ovaries may age faster than any other organ you carry — and a growing body of research argues they do not age alone, but help set the pace for the bones, the brain and the heart (Nature Aging, 2024). A reading of the science reframing menopause as a longevity event.

Vol. 023 | Why You Get Sick More Often When You're Stressed — and What Changes When You're Not

Chronic stress doesn't only lower your defences — it can make the immune system deaf to its own off-switch, leaving you more open to infection and more prone to inflammation at once (Cohen et al., 2012). Why you get sick when you're run down, and what changes when you're not.

Vol. 022 | Can a Relationship Break Your Heart, Literally? The Cardiovascular Evidence

"Broken heart syndrome" is not a metaphor — it is a diagnosis, and roughly 90 per cent of cases are women (Templin et al., 2015). The heart answers to relational safety and strain in measurable ways. What the cardiovascular evidence shows — and what a safe relationship builds.

Vol. 021 | Does Health Improve After You Leave? The Recovery Research Nobody Quotes

Chronic stress shortens the clock on your cells — but the clock can turn back. In one study, telomere length grew five years after a lifestyle change while the control group's kept shortening (Ornish et al., 2013). What the body recovers after you leave, and the timeline it sets.

Vol. 019 | Does Chronic Stress Actually Age You? What Telomere Research Found in Women

In women under the highest stress, telomeres were shorter by the equivalent of at least a decade of additional ageing (Epel et al., 2004). Not a turn of phrase — a measurement.

Waking up at 3am in perimenopause is not insomnia, not in your head, and not random. It is a measurable shift in the architecture of sleep itself — documented in the longitudinal data, and almost never given to the woman experiencing it.

Vol. 012 | Can Stress Really Stop Your Period? The Clinical Guideline Most Women Were Never Handed

Chronic stress can stop your menstrual cycle, and the mechanism is not vague. It is a documented neuroendocrine response with a clinical name and a reversible pathway — and almost no woman who has experienced it has been handed the literature that describes it.

Vol. 010 | The Route from the Gum Line to the Hippocampus

For most of the twentieth century, the gum line and the brain were not, in the medical imagination, in particular conversation with each other. This turned out to be incorrect — and the correction carries specific consequences for women.

Vol. 009 | The Gut Has Been Writing the Brain's Instructions

For most of the twentieth century, neuroscience treated the brain as sovereign: self-contained, the final authority on thought, mood, and stress. The gut was the supply chain. This turned out to be incorrect — and the correction carries specific consequences for women.
