Dr Louise Newson (British GP; hormone specialist) is regarded as the “medic who kickstarted the menopause revolution”. For two decades women have been denied treatment for a debilitating condition that affects more than half the population, thanks to one (faulty) study that linked hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to cancer. Louise has been on a mission to undo the damage and educate women on their real choices.
In this chat, I try to cover off what every woman I know is asking right now: - Is HRT safe or not?
- How do I weigh up the risks and benefits?
- How do I know which hormone, how much and when?
- Are there Big Pharma interests at play?
- Do I need to take it if I’m healthy?
- And, Is it just me or has perimenopause and menopause got worse for this generation?
NOTE: The next episode is a follow-up, where I get Louise to answer the granular, intimate menopause questions posed by the Substack community! Don’t miss it.
