Well, I suppose the Universe made the decision for me…
First posted this on Substack yesterday. Just re-posting here for those of you not on Substack – and don’t worry, we’re carrying on from the blog now…
So sorry, I just sent out section 1 of the new hormone series by accident to over 1000 of you from the Purehealth blog, oops!
Sorry, didn’t mean to shout there, had CAPSLOCK on.
Why have I sent out a hormone blog post?
Good question. I’m glad you asked.
I have been sitting here for weeks thinking I want to work a couple of days a week, I want to write – and I should just offer you the thing that I have that no-one else does – my experience and knowledge. It’s also the thing that you really want from me!
So, I was working out how to do a free and paid newsletter on Substack – or via the blog here on the Purehealth website.
Substack is getting a stronger and stronger algorithm taking control of what you see and has done a few things recently I simply don’t like (accounts for Farage, Tate, a gambling add-on option??), so I was thinking I’d rather just keep things really simple and straightforward and share stuff on my blog as per the last 25 years!
Substack is much easier to set up and use but the blog is safer and in my control (not that I’m a control freak or anything!). Anyway, I was trying to send a test email from the blog to see how it would work and the bloomin’ thing sent it to all of you!
Ah well, Mrs Universe has spoken.
Should I write these health posts, newsletters and deep-dives a few times a month. YES.
Will I cope with writing them with my MCAS? YES, THINGS ARE MUCH CALMER AND YOU’VE LEARNED TO PACE YOURSELF BETTER.
Will I enjoy it and have I missed it? OH YES!
Should I help improve the general population’s health with really good free health info as I have done for many years? DEFINITELY.
Should I charge for some of the experience and 30+years’ knowledge? YES, IT’S YOUR JOB AND PEOPLE WASTE FAR TOO MUCH MONEY, TIME AND SUFFERING BUYING STUFF THAT WON’T HELP AT ALL ((Ooh, Mrs Universe is bolshy!!)
Should I share everything all over social media? LORDY NO, I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF TECH BROS ETC. IF YOU FIND ME, YOU FIND ME.
So, that’s why you just got an accidental but (though I say so myself) pretty darn good email, which is now going to be the first in a series of hormone deep dives. It’s essentially my Hormone Plan but I thought that was far too complicated so I am breaking it down much further and pulling out the key bits more clearly in this series.
I kept all of you on the blog newsletter list anyway and will update it with all of you new people (welcome, welcome).
Anyway, enjoy! You can thank Mrs Universe for stopping my dithering and making it happen!
Let me know any feedback, thoughts, issues etc, of course. Did it come through to you OK on your email? (micki@purehealthclinic.co.uk)
