Rebalancing Hormones, Restoring Confidence: Dr Julia’s Educational Guide to Menopause Treatments
Understanding the Menopause: A Natural Transition, Not an Ending
The menopause marks a significant transition in every woman’s life, a gradual shift, not a sudden stop. As oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels decline, the body begins to recalibrate. For many, this change brings physical and emotional symptoms that can affect quality of life: hot flushes, disrupted sleep, mood swings, brain fog, weight changes, and a noticeable loss of energy.
As October marks Menopause Awareness Month, it’s an ideal time to open the conversation about women’s hormonal health.
At Dr Ed Robinson Aesthetics, Dr Julia takes an evidence-based, medical approach to menopause management. Her goal is simple: to help women navigate this stage with knowledge, balance, and confidence. Through tailored hormone replacement therapies, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle support, Dr Julia empowers her patients to feel like themselves again.
The Role of Hormones in Women’s Health
Hormones orchestrate nearly every function of the female body. When their rhythm changes, it can influence metabolism, sleep, cognition, and emotional well-being.
Oestrogen supports brain function, bone density, and skin elasticity.
Progesterone promotes calm, stable sleep and balances mood.
Testosterone enhances libido, focus, and muscle strength.
As these hormones fall, many women experience symptoms that extend beyond “just hot flushes.” Dr Julia believes that understanding these shifts is the first step toward regaining control.
Comprehensive Menopause Consultation
Every treatment journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which Dr Julia reviews medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle factors.
This may include:
Detailed discussion of perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms
Blood testing to assess hormone levels, thyroid function, and key vitamins
Review of medical suitability for body-identical HRT
Collaborative goal setting - from improved energy to better sleep or mood regulation
This holistic evaluation ensures that every treatment plan is tailored to your unique physiology and lifestyle, rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Menopause Hormone Treatments Offered by Dr Julia
1. Body-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
At Dr Ed Robinson Aesthetics, Dr Julia prescribes body-identical HRT, which uses hormones chemically identical to those produced naturally by the body. Unlike older synthetic formulations, body-identical hormones are regulated, licensed by the MHRA, and produced to pharmaceutical standards.
Benefits may include:
Reduction in hot flushes and night sweats
Improved mood, focus, and cognitive clarity
Enhanced libido and vaginal comfort
Better quality sleep and overall vitality
These hormones are typically delivered via patches, gels, or capsules, allowing for consistent absorption and optimal balance.
“Our goal is to restore hormonal equilibrium safely and effectively, helping you feel energised, confident, and yourself again,” explains Dr Julia.
2. Conventional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
For some women, standardised HRT remains the most suitable approach. This may include oestrogen patches or gels combined with oral or transdermal progesterone.
Why Dr Julia may recommend HRT:
Robust clinical evidence supporting heart, bone, and cognitive protection
Consistent dosing and convenient use
Flexible protocols for perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause
Dr Julia’s goal is not to prescribe for symptom suppression alone, but to restore long-term hormonal balance safely and effectively.
3. Testosterone Therapy for Women
Although often overlooked, testosterone plays a crucial role in female wellbeing. Its decline can lead to reduced motivation, low mood, loss of muscle tone, and diminished libido.
Dr Julia offers carefully titrated female testosterone therapy, based on validated medical guidelines. The result is often described by patients as a restoration of vitality, confidence, and drive.
4. Nutritional and Lifestyle Optimisation
Hormone therapy is most effective when supported by smart lifestyle changes. Dr Julia provides guidance on:
Nutrition: balancing macronutrients to stabilise blood sugar and weight
Exercise: maintaining bone density and cardiovascular health
Stress management: regulating cortisol, which directly influences hormonal balance
Sleep hygiene: supporting circadian rhythm and recovery
These foundations amplify the benefits of hormonal treatment, promoting long-term wellness beyond symptom relief.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HRT safe?
Yes, for the majority of women, hormone replacement therapy is safe when prescribed following a detailed medical assessment. Dr Julia follows NICE guidelines and uses the lowest effective dose tailored to individual needs.
When should I start treatment?
Many women begin body-identical HRT during perimenopause, when symptoms first appear but periods have not yet stopped. Early intervention often prevents more severe hormonal fluctuations later.
How quickly will I see results?
Most patients begin to notice improvement within 4-6 weeks, though optimal results may take several months as hormones stabilise.
Is testosterone therapy suitable for everyone?
No, it’s assessed individually. Dr Julia recommends testosterone replacement only after testing and confirmation of low levels.
