This Christmas, Hertility is redefining what it means to give a thoughtful gift. While many women will unwrap yet another bath bomb, pillow spray, or last-minute beauty set, Hertility invites us to think differently.

With over 600,000 people waiting for a gynaecology appointment in England alone, women are spending yet another year navigating symptoms, unanswered questions and endless Google searches. Hertility’s mission has always been clear: to give women access to real answers, real support and real healthcare, with clinical insights, without the wait.

This season, Hertility is relaunching its gift cards, designed for every woman in your life. Whether it’s a mother experiencing perimenopausal symptoms, a partner whose symptoms keep being dismissed, a sister trying for a baby, or someone simply seeking clarity about her future fertility, a Hertility gift card gives her exactly what she needs to make informed decisions.

Gift card recipients can choose from Hertility’s Advanced At-Home Hormone & Fertility Test or book an appointment with leading specialists, from fertility nurses to gynaecologists and nutritionists.

Gift cards range from £25 to £249 and are valid for one year, giving women the freedom to access care when they need it most. Click here for more information.

The post What’s New in Wellness November 2025 appeared first on Hip & Healthy.

For generations, women’s health topics, from periods and fertility to menopause, have been shrouded in silence. Many mothers never spoke openly about their experiences, leaving daughters uninformed and often unprepared for what’s to come. Hertility’s new initiative aims to change that by creating space for honest, heart-to-heart discussions between women and their mothers.

“Talking to our mums about their menstrual cycles, fertility experiences, or menopause isn’t just emotional, it’s informative,” says Dr Helen O’Neill, CEO and founder of Hertility. “Cycle patterns, menopause timing, and even conditions like endometriosis or pregnancy complications can be hereditary. The more we know, the better equipped we are to protect our health.”

At the heart of the campaign is a filmed content series featuring candid, one-to-one conversations between influential women and their mothers, covering everything from painful periods and fertility challenges to menopause and the taboos that still linger today. The result? A moving reminder that by understanding our mothers’ stories, we can better navigate our own.

You can watch the ‘Hereditary Talks’ series here and download Hertility’s conversation guide here to help start (re)productive discussions at home.

The post Editor’s Pick: The New Season Workout Kit We’re Lusting After appeared first on Hip & Healthy.

The message? Hormones affect so much more than reproduction, from mood and sleep to energy, skin, and long-term wellbeing. Keeping them in balance is essential for overall health. Even small, consistent steps, like a few enjoyable workouts a week, can reduce stress, improve insulin sensitivity, support menstrual regularity, and help manage PCOS symptoms, all while boosting confidence and delivering that famous post-workout glow.

What to Expect
To mark PCOS Awareness Month, Hertility is sponsoring eight feel-good Frame classes across all four studios, from yoga to dance cardio, showing that hormonal health isn’t about pushing harder or sweating more, but about building sustainable habits by finding the movement you enjoy most.

During these two weeks, from 22nd September to 12th October, Framers can enjoy a hormone-friendly smoothie at the Frame café, pick up a goodie bag at Hertility-sponsored classes, and enter for a chance to win Hertility’s Advanced At-Home Hormone & Fertility Test, which screens for up to 18 gynaecological conditions, including PCOS.

The Event
As part of the campaign, Hertility and Frame are hosting a special workshop on 28th September from 2-4 pm, featuring:

• A relaxing yin-yang yoga session designed to ease hormonal symptoms (including PCOS) and reduce stress
  
• An empowering conversation with Emily Moreton, one of Hertility’s Registered Nutritionist & Fertility Nurse, and Alice Liveing, PT & hormonal health advocate, on how movement and nutrition can support hormone balance
  
• Practical, real-life insights to help women feel more confident and motivated about their health
  

Visit Hertility or Frame for more information.

50 lucky winners will receive 6 cans of thirst-quenching ‘non-sweet’ flavours in their stylish sampling box; crisp and refreshing Apple, fresh and fruity Cherry, the perfectly balanced Lemon and the tropical Mango.

Determined to create something that would both taste good and be good for you, and after much experimentation, CANS was born – a product that’s healthier, more enjoyable, and better for the planet.

For those ready to take the plunge into a new era of soft drinks, CANS offers the perfect alternative. The future of fizzy drinks is here – sparkling, clean, and utterly delicious.

Enter now for your chance to try.
