Really love your vlogs. I find you're voice so calming 😊 i think if you were to film anything you are passionate about everyone would enjoy because it shows your personality! I can relate a lot about the low moods and the weather. Im also hormonal and needing the sunshine 😂 xxxx

@LaraJoannaJarvis 5 месяцев назад

Oh, thanks so much! Yes, that's what I'm thinking, things I love & hopefully you'll love too! Roll on Spring! xx

@shopperholic80 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, Laura. We're a similar age at a similar life stage, so I can totally resonate with where you are at the moment. Thanks for 'keeping it real'. Anything perimenopause, self care, healthy eating, exercise, come shop with me, OOTD, skincare/makeup recommendations, home decor, gardening type content & vlogs are just up my street. Personally, I really love Creators who are authentic, honest & raw. Just keep being you, lovely x

About mental health, from my xp: to anyone who's ever been a victim of hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. I've always had kinda androgynous look, which was a fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)

@kimclegg5353 5 месяцев назад

Hi Lara, i think it’s nice to have a mix up with your content and as so many of us are struggling with the same hormonal challenges it’s good to get tips and info from you so please if it helps you too then it’s a positive all round, i really love your honesty and look forward to your vlogs 🤎😊

@LuLuBeeBah 5 месяцев назад

This winter has been a struggle for me as well, too much rain. I'm so happy to see lighter mornings and evenings. SAD is definitely a real thing 😩 I'm 50 next month I agree with all the perimenopausal hormones and feelings too. I'm feeling like I'm having a midlife crisis. Just trying to be kind to myself and keep moving forward x great to see your video and hope you're feeling better soon x

@LaraJoannaJarvis 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the comment, lovely to hear from you! So nice to see the lighter evenings, very much needed! Definitely be kind to yourself, and take some time for you xx

@Slimming_HRT_Mum1 5 месяцев назад

You’re certainly not alone. I’m 44 and had a hysterectomy 18 months ago. My hormones were a complete mess, I’m now on HRT (oestrogen and testosterone). I work from home and have a vitamin D light next to my desk as my levels are really low and it does help. I do think that talking openly really does help and normalises how we feel. There are so many symptoms that are dismissed by medical professionals that the more we talk the more we learn and can understand what we are going through xx

@aimeeclark228 5 месяцев назад

Lara! Thank you!.. for this video, and your honesty.. the struggle is real! I am 52, going thru the big M.. hot flashes and insomnia… slow living has helped me also, and healthy habits too! Let’s lift each other up! Sunshine is so important my friend, for sure.. travel too!! Please know, you are not alone on this journey.. love your videos, keep on making them! We are right there with you!!.🙏🤗❤️💕

@lizprice3948 5 месяцев назад

I am way past menopause but believe me this weather has really got to me this year....rain, rain, rain. It is so difficult to go out and walk when it is so bad. The sunny days are like a tonic but they don;t last! travel has been my life and due to my partner's medical condition we are not going to the sun any more and it has had a massive effect. Travel in the UK is so uncertain weather wise. Here's to a fantastic summer, we all need it!

@LaraJoannaJarvis 5 месяцев назад

Yes! So much rain, it's just very horrid out there for walking and that impacts MH too! I hope you get to go somewhere lovely in the UK soon & the sun shines for you! x

@carolinem5539 4 месяца назад

Hi Lara, it’s really refreshing to hear you talk about perimenopause. Ive begun this next chapter too and as I was a younger mum im also at the stage of my children leaving and starting their own lives. Physically I am changing and emotionally I am lost and struggling. More people need to talk! Thank you for highlighting it. ❤

@vickiuridge3375 4 месяца назад

Hi Lara, I've just recently subscribed to you and am loving your videos. I am in the menopause stage and have been for around 7 years. Also I have alot of health problems sadly including osteoarthritis, hiatus hernia, ibs, fibromyalgia. These all effect me on a daily basis but I try to have a positive mindset. I find meditation helps and mindfulness including morning gratitudes . Self care is something i struggled with in the past but now I'm dedicating time for me. The weather definitely effects my mood. Thank you again for this video and I'm slowly working my way through your older ones. Take care and enjoy your day ❤xx

@katereynolds1520 5 месяцев назад

Hi Laura, you always come over as positive even when you are talking about struggles you are going through. I’m also perimenopausal and it’s been a tough few years. Like you, I try and do a lot to help myself through diet, supplements and exercise. I too have been really struggling with the weather - especially all the rain. It’s really got me down this year! I always really appreciate your honesty. I really enjoy content on home decor, home organisation, decluttering, fashion, thrifting, health & exercise. Your videos are always uplifting - just keep putting content out that’s important to you and people will love it. 🥰

@carolynjory8683 5 месяцев назад

It definitely is a journey and speaking to older friends they had to suffer menapouse as was not talked about. My mood and confidence can get low but supplements and reducing caffeine has made it better. I think you still have lots to offer on your channel fighting consumerism, improving finances, confidence and stages of life ❤❤❤

@angiesteele1107 4 месяца назад

I can completely relate to what you're saying about the premenopausal symptoms. I am going through this stage now at the age of 49. My hormones and moods are all over the place ,one minute I'm happy ,the next sitting in the corner crying for no reason at all. The doctor has given me hrt patches to try for three months just to see how I get on though I am considering natural remedies. I want to try doing things I was never brave enough to do before ,like going to the gym, getting my eyebrows done or volunteering at my local soup kitchen. Watching this video has helped me a lot . Thanks Lara xx

@LaraJoannaJarvis 4 месяца назад

Aw, I am so pleased! So glad to have you here. I hope the patches help you, I wonder if I am too young to get them and if I need them further down the line they wont help as much. I have an appointment this week so will talk it through and update on here. Sending lots of love xx

@staceyhackworthy6744 5 месяцев назад

I’m 39 and going through early menopause, HRT has helped with some of the symptoms but my anxiety and mood has been all over the place. Also weight gain, brain fog, getting spots on my face🥺 It’s definitely helpful to make it a talking point, we are all going to go through it in one way or another so hearing others experiences and sharing tips is essential! PS I’ve missed your videos, you make great content. I know you might be lacking in confidence at the moment but keep going! Xxx

@sarahpenman99 5 месяцев назад

Love your chatty vlogs ❤ it’s like catching up with a friend. I’d love for you to do a spring capsule wardrobe I need your style know how and guidance as I never know what to wear this time of year & end up in jeans & t shirts. X

@laura_hylton 5 месяцев назад

Hi Lara I hope you start to feel more yourself soon! In regards to vitamin supplements, I myself only found out recently, that the cheaper vitamins have the less bioavailable forms of vitamins in and therefore your body doesnt actually obtain the 100% RDA or whatever it states on the label as they are harder to process. E.g. vitamin D3 is more bioavavilable than vitamin D2. I was buying the multivitamin from Aldi and was told by my doctor I had a vitamin deficiency and was really confused. I didn't realise until I did some research!

@debbiesheldon5086 5 месяцев назад

I'm a fair bit older than you 56 and had HRT patches for the past 4 years, sometimes I don't feel like they work but if I don't wear one for a few days, muscle aches are back and I just don't feel balanced.Go and see your Dr I work in a gp practice and lots of peri menopausal women are taking something. Love your content ❤ and think a fringe would really suit you

@mandynuttall6627 5 месяцев назад

@dorothyronan8220 5 месяцев назад

I first started watching your channel when you posted about the bloating you were experiencing. I find it refreshing to hear such honesty surrounding how you’re feeling, it makes you relatable. You definitely seem sad. It’s good you’re taking such good care of yourself but if you’re low on estrogen nothing will make you feel like “you” until your hormones are balanced. Maybe speak to your doctor and discuss HRT. Don’t suffer the next 10 years then go onto it, you’re alive now, don’t wait. x

@taradevito6751 4 месяца назад

40 over here and def seeing the changes…I am continuing my weight lifting journey and introduced creatine…still unsure if I love it or if it’s helping..I do mag, down down on caffeine, get my sleep and included more mobility exercises

@foodmadewithlove324 5 месяцев назад

Good evening! Lara.I experienced the same feeling when I was 41 , so I had to call my GP to check if I need to take vitamin D and B 12 .I hope you get better❤

@lauracowan100 5 месяцев назад

How do you find intermittent fasting around your cycle? I love IF but I absolutely have to eat earlier and more regularly when I'm due on! Sorry of you've already addressed this in another video. I'm 40 and starting to have irregular cycles so really appreciate your peri menopausal talks! X

@zbenfor9179 5 месяцев назад

I love your frugal and money vlogs (alongside the rest!) but am in the same stage of hormonal life as you. How about combining the two- frugal middle age care? Embracing this stage but adjusting it with all your brilliant insight? Just s thought x

@lindseybellamy6374 5 месяцев назад

I would be interested in videos about finding your style again. I've also recently turned 40 and returned back to work after 9 years as a sahm and I'm really lost in myself and clothes (I've lived in legging/joggers and large tshirts to be honest). I have no clue how to dress now. This weather has had me so depressed this year 😢

@daisybee2245 5 месяцев назад

Enjoyed your vlog and honesty. Take it easy with this stage of life - we are expected to carry on regardless, however, we cannot maintain the same pace of life and if we try we suffer uneccesarily. Take good care of yourself :-)

@luciegallagher2710 5 месяцев назад

Aww Lara, you seem like such a lovely person with a really good heart ❤ I love your chatty videos and posts. If you are going through changes you sort of have to go with it but you are still the same person underneath. Make sure you see your GP to get some advice if you need it, in perimenopause you are losing hormones so it’s important to replace them if you need to. Take care xx

@johannagallagher5855 5 месяцев назад

@beetree2800 5 месяцев назад

@atristram54316 5 месяцев назад

Been feeling the low mood thing your're not alone, went to Dubai for 9 days of sunshine recently, crazy to say but think it made me feel worse coming back to all this rain and dullness. Also started intermittent fasting a few weeks back and just got over a horrible sickness bug. Trying to plod on is not always easy!

@LaraJoannaJarvis 5 месяцев назад

Oh bless you. sorry you've been feeling it too and the bug! Dubai for 9 days sounds amazing though, I am so desperate for some sunshine! Clocks go back soon, spring is on her way xx

@jl1726 5 месяцев назад

Lara - I think you are a research type of person, and there is a lot of new information about hormone replacement therapies, so you might want to read some of those and consider your options. There is much more information available now than there was 20 - 30 years ago - and it might be a legitimate option for you. If you pursue SAD light therapy treatment, one has to start in October and go all the way to the end of March/ early April (northern hemisphere). Finally, this is YOUR Utube channel, that you created. The content should resonate for you at whatever age and stage you’re at in life. Some content creators clean their house every week, and people religiously tune in to watch them doing that. lara - this is your one wild and precious life … make whatever content makes you, the creator, willing to show up to make it. If it helps you, chances are it will resonate with some of the rest of us too. Hope you start to feel better soon. ❤

And as a woman in post menopause which was just confirmed at my gynecologist appointment recently, I felt all the things you described for approximately 10 years. When I was in the thick of it, I made a list of mood boosters for myself because I forgot what made me feel good. Some of the items on the list were: bubble bath, comedy movies, being in nature and having a morning routine.
