Menopause support Costa del Sol

In March, women on the Costa del Sol who are dealing with the menopause are invited to attend a free one hour seminar in Marbella or Estepona to find out about natural hormone replacement therapy and how it can help to treat the symptoms of menopause.

We are delighted to be working withย the Long Life Clinic and La Chispa Magazine to present these useful seminars. They will beย presented by Dr. Jean Garant Mendoza, a qualified Doctor and a specialist on hormones and longevity. Dr. Garant is one of the only medical practitioners in Spain to be offering Bioidentical hormones for the treatment of the symptoms of the menopause and heโ€™s passionate about sharing his knowledge with women looking for an alternative to conventional HRT.

The seminars will be perfect for women currently experiencing the menopause or their families who want to learn about the alternative treatments to conventional HRT which are free from side-effects. They would also be suitable for women approaching menopause age who are looking for ways to deal with it when they start experiencing symptoms. It can be a daunting and distressing part of a woman’s life, so it’s best to have all the information you can!

Georgina recommends โ€ฆ Kyoto Japanese Restaurant

I love Japanese food, particularly sushi and have been delighted to see more Japanese restaurants popping up on the Costa del Sol. However, for me most of the restaurants here are prohibitively expensive and feel like a real rip-off so I don’t like to go there. A few months ago we were recommended Kyoto Japanese Restaurant in central Marbella by a friend and we haven’t looked back since. The food is fantastic andย the prices are very reasonable for sushi, so it’s well worth a try. One thing you have to be prepared for though is a total lack of atmosphere as it’s normally empty and pretty ropey service, but in my opinion the food more than makes up for it.ย
