Welcome to the Hormone Hub.
Curated through the lens of both medical expertise and lived experience, the resources found below are intended to deepen understanding of hormonal health, transition, and longevity.
Through evidence-based education and informed conversation, this platform aims to bring greater clarity to hormonal change, helping women move toward a deeper understanding of the biological transitions shaping their health, mind, and sense of self over time.
A Fortnightly Publication
on Hormones & Mental Health
Written by Dr Fatima Khan and published fortnightly on Substack, this publication explores the emerging science of hormones and the brain through essays and clinical perspectives.
-
The publication spans spanning perimenopause, menopause, cognition, mood, sleep, metabolic health, and the broader psychological dimensions of midlife. It explores the intersection of medicine, neuroscience, and the cultural realities of modern womanhood.
At the centre of this philosophy is a simple but long-overlooked premise: that hormones profoundly shape emotional wellbeing, and that the mind cannot be meaningfully separated from the biology that influences it.

This book will help you connect the dots, advocate for yourself and finally understand what’s happening inside your brain. It pulls back the curtain on the perfect storm surrounding perimenopause, and guides women to finally reclaim their bodies, their minds and themselves.
This book is for women in their thirties, forties and fifties who feel like they’re falling apart. Women who feel like their brains and bodies are betraying them, but nobody can tell them why. It’s for women in perimenopause who don’t even realise it – because they were told to look for hot flushes rather than anxiety, brain fog or rage.
Menopause expert Dr Fatima Khan reveals the explosive truth about perimenopause and the mental health crisis unfolding in women around the world. She exposes the medical blind spots that leave women misdiagnosed with depression and anxiety, unpacks the science of the hormone–brain connection, and delivers the three pillars of treatment and support that actually help.
