Do we take enough care of our mental health during perimenopause?

Sleepless nights, heart palpitations, night sweats, fatigue and low moods can affect every part of our lives. It can feel scary and isolating, and it's something we just don't talk about enough.

In tomorrow's Coffee & Menopause newsletter, I'm sharing:

💛 Why this stage can feel so intense
💛 Gentle things that may help your mood and sleep
💛 A simple morning and night skincare routine, because let's admit it, we can all see changes in our face at the start of perimenopause!

You're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out on your own.

Your skin isn't imagining it. It really is drier. ☕
One of the quiet effects of perimenopause and menopause is a natural drop in hyaluronic acid — the stuff that keeps skin, joints, and tissue hydrated. As oestrogen falls, so does this, and a lot of women notice it before anyone tells them why.
This week's Coffee & Menopause newsletter breaks down what may help support it naturally, no gimmicks.

Why isn't vitamin D included in routine blood tests anymore?

In both Ireland and the UK, vitamin D testing isn't part of routine blood work. The HSE and NHS generally only test for it when there's a specific clinical reason, so it may be missing from your results even if you've had it checked before.

How can you check your level?

☕ Ask your GP whether there's a clinical reason to request the test. Both HSE and NHS guidance include things like bone conditions, malabsorption, and muscle weakness among the reasons for testing.

☕ Book a private blood test. Clinics in both Ireland and the UK offer vitamin D testing, with prices generally ranging from around €40–€60 in Ireland and £25–£40 in the UK. Always check the final price, including any lab fees, before booking.

☕ Use a home testing kit. Home-testing services in both countries offer finger-prick vitamin D tests you post back to a lab, in a similar price range to the above. Check reviews and turnaround times before choosing one.

Vitamin D has an important role in bone and muscle health, but you don't need a blood test simply to follow the usual supplement advice. If you have a health concern, speak to your GP.

Were you surprised to find vitamin D wasn't included in your blood tests? ☕
