LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MALE MENOPAUSE… 👀

Because we talk about menopause constantly, and rightly so, but what about the men going through changes in midlife?

The term “male menopause” or “andropause” is often used to describe the changes some men experience as they get older. Unlike female menopause, it isn’t a sudden hormonal change. Testosterone levels generally decline gradually with age, and symptoms can have lots of different causes.

But here’s the thing…

We don’t talk about it nearly enough.

As women, we know only too well how changes in hormones, sleep, stress and everyday life can affect your mood, energy, patience and how you feel within yourself.

So when the man beside you suddenly becomes a little more irritable, tired, withdrawn, stressed, lacking motivation or just… not quite himself… maybe it’s time we talked about what could be going on, rather than simply wondering when he turned into Victor Meldrew! 😂

And ladies, let’s be honest… we get enough grief for our moods! 😂

But seriously, men in their late 40s and 50s can experience symptoms such as mood changes and irritability, low mood, tiredness, poor sleep, reduced energy, difficulty concentrating, loss of muscle strength, reduced libido and changes in sexual function.

And those symptoms deserve to be talked about.

Men need support too. 💜

Aromatherapy can be a lovely complementary way to support relaxation and emotional wellbeing.

At Neu You, I have male clients who regularly choose aromatherapy massage and reflexology, and they absolutely love it.

For some men, it’s simply an opportunity to switch off, slow down and have some time away from work, family pressures and the stresses of everyday life.

And aromatherapy doesn’t have to stop at the treatment room.

🪻Lavender for a calming, relaxing aroma

🍋Bergamot for a fresh, uplifting scent

🌿Frankincense for a warm, grounding aroma

🪾Cedarwood for its warm, woody scent

🍊Sweet orange for a bright, comforting aroma

These can be incorporated safely into things such as a diffuser, aromatherapy inhaler or, when correctly diluted, a personal rollerball.

It’s not about “fixing” hormones or treating a medical condition.

It’s about creating little moments of calm, relaxation and time to reset.

And if you’re experiencing persistent changes in mood, energy, sleep, libido or general wellbeing, don’t just put it down to getting older. Speak to your GP and get it checked out. There can be many possible causes, and testosterone deficiency can be assessed properly when appropriate.

So let’s stop making it a joke and start talking about it.

Menopause isn’t just a women’s conversation.
Midlife affects men too. 🌿

Have you noticed changes in your partner, husband, dad or even yourself?

💜 CANCELLATION POLICY REMINDER 💜

A gentle reminder of my cancellation policy, especially as I’ve recently had a higher number of last-minute cancellations that unfortunately couldn’t be refilled this week.

I completely understand that unexpected situations happen ❤️ and I always appreciate as much notice as possible so I can offer the appointment to another client.

🌿 Cancellation policy:

More than 24 hours’ notice: No charge
Less than 24 hours’ notice: 50% of the treatment fee
Failure to attend: Full treatment fee

If I’m able to refill a late cancellation slot, I will always do my best to waive the fee where possible 💜

I approach genuine emergencies with care, compassion, and understanding, always.

These appointments are my working hours, so last-minute cancellations do have a real impact on a small business. I’m truly grateful to all clients who give plenty of notice when rescheduling, it makes a huge difference 🥰

Thank you, as always, for your support and understanding.
