Hormonal Changes, Menopause and Perimenopause. Uncut with Dr Louise Newson

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
