The Smilogie Method: Hormones & Cancer Finding Your Way Through Treatment & Beyond

When cancer enters your life, the focus often becomes treatment - but many women are left unprepared for the hormonal and emotional ripple effects that can come with it. Hot flushes, sleep disruption, mood changes, fatigue, digestive issues, intimacy concerns, and a sense of feeling unlike yourself can appear during treatment or long after it ends.

The Smilogie Method: Hormones & Cancer is a gentle, pocket-sized companion for those in-between days - when you may be coping outwardly, but still wobbling inside. Written by women's health and certified cancer coach Isy de Wouters d'Oplinter, this guide blends evidence-informed support with deeply human reassurance.

It is not a rulebook, and it does not ask you to "stay positive." Instead, it offers clarity, steadiness, and small supportive practices to help you feel safer in your body and more supported in your mind.

Inside, you will find guidance on:

• how cancer treatment can affect hormones and wellbeing
• body, mind, and heart wobbles, including anxiety, brain fog, sleep, digestion, and fatigue
• appointments and questions to bring to your medical team
• intimacy, vaginal comfort, and the emotional impact of change
• nourishment, rest, and energy support that does not overwhelm
• reflective prompts and Smilogie micro-practices to soothe your nervous system and rebuild self-trust
• resources and next steps for ongoing support

This book is for women in treatment, recovery, or survivorship - and for anyone seeking a calm, compassionate guide that complements medical care while honouring the emotional reality of the journey.
