Female Medicine, Fertility and Menopause

  Endometriosis Is Not “Just Lesions” — It’s a Persistence Problem Most women with endometriosis already know something that medicine still struggles to say out loud. The pain doesn’t always match what scans show. Surgery can “work” and then somehow… not work. Hormones help for a while, then stop helping. Pregnancy can bring relief, and then symptoms return. You can do everything right and still end up back where you started. If endometriosis were simply about rogue tissue growing in the wrong place, none of this would make sense. But that’s not what’s really going on. The real problem isn’t just what’s there — it’s what won’t switch off Endometriosis behaves less like a tumour and more like a state the body gets stuck in . Certain tissues enter a mode where inflammation, pain signalling, altered mechanics, and hormonal sensitivity reinforce each other. Once that state is established, it can persist across cycles, treatments, and even surgery. This is why removing visi...

  My book on dementia:  https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=dey1EQAAQBAJ Dementia Is Not a Switch — It’s a Coordination Failure Most people who live alongside dementia notice something that medicine still struggles to explain properly. Clarity comes and goes. Some days are good. Some are foggy. Someone can be “still there” in the morning and oddly absent by evening. Sleep helps. Illness makes everything worse. Certain medications suddenly seem to dull thinking, even when scans don’t change. None of that fits the idea that dementia is simply neurons dying one by one. And that’s because it isn’t. Dementia does involve long-term structural damage in later stages, but it almost always starts much earlier as a coordination failure , not a loss of intelligence, personality, or memory storage. The brain still has the information. What it struggles with is holding itself together long enough to use it . That distinction matters more than most people realise. The...

Midlife confidence is often misunderstood. People talk about it as if it’s some sudden glow-up, a switch that flips when you hit a certain age and finally “stop caring what people think”. That’s not how it works for most women. For many, midlife confidence arrives slowly, unevenly, and only after a period where confidence actually drops. By midlife, most women are tired. Not just physically, but mentally. Years of responsibility stack up: work, relationships, caregiving, emotional labour, health changes, financial pressure, and the constant background noise of expectations. Somewhere along the way, many women stop checking in with themselves and start running on habit and duty. Confidence doesn’t disappear overnight, but it gets thinner. Less reliable. Easier to knock. Hormonal changes don’t help. Perimenopause and menopause can affect mood, sleep, focus, and emotional resilience. When your body feels unpredictable, it’s hard to feel grounded. Many women blame themselves for this, as...

Endometriosis is one of the most stubborn conditions in women’s health. Around one in ten women of reproductive age live with it, and for many it means years of pain, heavy periods, fatigue, and sometimes infertility. Current treatments aren’t ideal. Hormone suppression often brings unpleasant side effects, and surgery carries risks of recurrence — up to 40% of women need repeat operations within five years. Vesicle-Based Corridor Therapies for Endometriosis I’ve just published a new paper that proposes a different way forward: vesicle-based corridor therapies . This sounds technical, so let’s unpack it. What makes endometriosis so hard to treat? Endometrial tissue belongs in the uterus, where it follows a precise monthly cycle. But in endometriosis, those same cells appear outside — on ovaries, bowel, bladder, or peritoneum. Instead of behaving, they build tiny “corridors” that don’t match the tissue around them. Think of it as electrical wiring crossed at the wrong angle. The resu...

  I’ve published a short book called Women and Cancer: A Stein Theory Approach to Prevention and Cure . I wrote it because I believe some of the ways we think about cancer can be expanded with a clear, structural perspective that opens new prevention and early-intervention possibilities. This book is not announcing a miracle cure. It is a concise, evidence-aware presentation of an alternative framework that highlights structural and field-based mechanisms I call Stein Theory. My aim is practical: to give clinicians, researchers, and informed readers new angles for early detection, non-invasive prevention and safer, lower-burden interventions. It includes: Practical prevention ideas and lower-risk interventions that may reduce incidence or slow progression. Clear suggestions for future research and development, including device ideas and clinical study designs. Who will find it useful Clinicians and researchers interested in new mechanistic hypotheses. Women who want ...
