Description
When cancer enters your life, the focus often becomes treatment - but many women are left unprepared
for the hormonal and emotional ripple effects that come with it. Hot flushes, sleep disruption, mood
changes, fatigue, digestion issues, intimacy concerns, and a sense of feeling "unlike yourself" can appear
during treatment or long after it ends.
The Smilogie Method: Hormones, Cancer & How to Keep Smiling is a gentle, pocket-sized companion
for those in-between days - when you're 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 isn't a rulebook and it doesn't ask you to "stay positive." It
offers clarity, steadiness, and small practices that help you feel safer in your body and more supported in your mind.
Inside, you'll find guidance for:
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 doesn't 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 who wants a calm,
compassionate guide that complements medical care while honouring the emotional reality of the journey.
Open to any page. Take one breath. Choose one kindness.
One small smile. One small shift. One steadier step forward.
