  • Brilliant. And….

    This is a brilliant podcast for women who can often feel isolated in different stages of their life. However, episode 70 as well intentioned as it is, I can’t help but feel disappointed that the latest episode is fundamentally a man validating the experience of perimenopause. We shouldn’t need this to be the case.

  • One of the best!

    Dr. Newson is relentless in her desire to educate and empower women. As a US Urologist, who has been in this area for over 15 years because of personal family issues. Dr Newson has been an early and consistent leader, to the detriment of her own practice, speaking out about the discrepancies between male and female care not just in Great Britain, but across the world. I am greatly appreciative to her deep insight and willingness to think outside of the medical dogma, which is often wrong.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

91 – Demi Brown: Endometriosis, fibroids & hormones
Q: What role do natural hormones play in managing endometriosis compared to synthetic options?
Louise explains that natural hormones can reduce inflammation and modulate pain similarly to what patients experience during pregnancy, whereas synthetic hormones can block the body's own hormones and may worsen inflammation for some individuals; emphasis on individualized trials.
91 – Demi Brown: Endometriosis, fibroids & hormones
Q: Tell me a bit about your story and how endometriosis has affected your life.
Demi describes starting with heavy periods in adolescence, a long journey through misdiagnosis, and eventual recognition of endometriosis after keyhole surgery in 2019, followed by ongoing struggles with pain, energy, and finding effective care.
88 – Endometriosis, surgical menopause and getting the right hormone treatments
Q: Are non-hormonal treatments like gabapentin appropriate for hot flushes in this context?
Not ideal when hormone deficiency is the primary issue; focusing on optimized hormone balance is key before relying on non-hormonal options.
88 – Endometriosis, surgical menopause and getting the right hormone treatments
Q: What is the view on using progesterone in a surgically menopausal patient without a womb?
Progesterone can still be beneficial for brain and overall health; guidelines should not prevent its use when clinically indicated.
