I can’t recommend Dr Jane McKay enough. I went to her with lack of sleep, no energy, and a feeling of complete doom that the perimenopause was hitting after many years of PMDD. I was really struggling! With her in depth analysis of all my issues, looking at me as a whole rather than just one set of symptoms, she was able to spot quick wins and longer term options for me that were personalised and felt achievable. Within weeks I've seen great improvement and it’s allowed me to have better conversations with my GP. I have more energy so now I can contemplate doing an exercise programme, whereas before I could barely get through the day without 5 coffees. I’m on immune suppressants for psoriasis but have had a really bad patch that was refusing to get better – even that has cleared with Jane’s protocols!

I'm so grateful for our chat about menopause, so much more makes sense now. Thank you, Jane!

I was diagnosed with osteopenia and didn't realise that it was a warning sign. My doctor didn't explain. I thought I was being healthy by taking umpteen supplements but I now realise that they were only emptying my wallet! Jane got me onto what really works - progressive strength exercises, a few trusted supplements and I learned about nourishing my microbiome! Now I have routines that work, more money in my wallet and have never felt better!

What do you mean by 'protocols'?

• Dr Jane McKay Rx protocols are easy to follow lifestyle plans designed to help you achieve your health goals. For example, protocols designed to target strength and bone density might include: mini exercise routines, dietary and supplementation strategies, and sleep quality booster plans.

What does 'Rx' in Dr Jane McKay Rx mean?

• Rx is a common abbreviation in healthcare meaning prescription - follow the plan exactly as described. In the same way, my protocols, are designed to be followed as prescribed - your personalised protocols are your Rx for success.

Can I swap price plans once started?

• Yes, absolutely. You can start out on the M³ Ignite plan and swap to another plan if you change your mind.

Will I have to change my lifestyle drastically for benefits?

• No, this generally doesn't work. The aim is to build small, progressive changes around your existing lifestyle routines. Over time, this might lead to big changes but small, achievable steps are best to start with.

What if I only want to focus on one area of my health?

• That's absolutely fine; the focus is up to you. Some women choose to work on well-being while others choose physical health. Others choose to target multiple areas. In any case, the M³ model ensures a comprehensive, approach without compromising your personal focus. 

How many sessions with you will I need?

• This really depends on what you hope to achieve and your personal preferences. Some people need regular check-ins and opt for ongoing input until new habits are fully established. Others prefer to self-manage and can progress with their protocols without the need for follow-up. It's up to you - you have flexibility to decide along the way.

When will I see results?

• This varies depending on the type of protocol and your commitment to them. Getting stuff off your chest and having the protocols in place is enough to help many women regain an immediate sense of control and motivation. Positive changes to energy, mood and sleep can happen within weeks, while noticeable physical changes are likely to take a few months. 

Can I meet you in person or online?

• It's always nice to meet in person and I enjoy doing that with those who live in Glasgow (or are able to travel). However, the choice is yours. Meeting online works well so distance isn't a barrier and I work with women internationally. 

I’ve got an underlying medical condition. Can I still sign up?

• Yes, but I do highlight that I am not medically qualified and therefore medical clearance should always be sought. It's a good idea to book a free info call to discuss your condition and at that point I can confirm my capacity to provide support.

I've had a medically induced menopause. Can you still help me?

• Yes. Medical menopause results in an immediate dysregulation of hormone receptors, meaning that the body does not have time to adjust. This can lead to rapid changes in body composition and bone health. I can work with you to address these and other related effects. 

If I choose movement protocols, will I have to go to a gym? I don't want to 'bulk up!'

• There are so many misconceptions around what physical activity best supports women's health and as a result of socio-cultural pressures to be thin, we have an epidemic of frailty, osteoporosis and dementia. Building strength plays a key role in preventing these conditions. If you are up for it, I will most likely recommend strength exercises, but within a programme of other activities that work for you. These will enhance tone, functional strength, and a leaner look, not bulk (which is difficult to achieve once oestrogen starts to decline). Many women would rather avoid gyms and that's no problem; home-based exercise 'snacks' can be provided.
