Dr. Louise Newson is a leading expert in the field of menopause and perimenopause. She's a GP, menopause specialist, educator, podcaster and author. She’s the woman in the know of menopause and today we would like to break down the misunderstandings, myths, misconceptions and medical misogyny surrounding menopause.

In this chat we speak about:

Changing hormones & how it affects our brains and behaviour
The tendency for medications like antidepressants or sleeping tablets to be prescribed
How the labelling of menopause doesn’t really mean anything
How the loss of ‘zest’ for life impacts their relationships
What type of hormones are safe to take for HRT and contraception
What lifestyle factors largely affect hormones
Whether other conditions like PCOS, endometriosis or diabetes can change the onset or ‘severity’ of menopause
