  • Podcast titles are not reflective of the show

    Hopefully constructive feedback for you but I’ve listened to around 5 of

    your podcasts and end each very frustrated as the titles do not reflect what you actually talk about and I feel like I’ve either learnt nothing or not learned what I was after

  • 🙏🏻Menopause Goddess🙏🏻

    Thank you so much for all your wisdom, energy and perseverance. Between you and my amazing doctor (Shout out to the gorgeous Dr Greenman in Perth, WA who put me on to your podcast!) I feel like a new woman. I feel sad that my mum and so many of her generation had to suffer. And I feel sad that so many women aren’t listening to the science. (if indeed they get to hear it - and not just about HRT!) I was one of those who had few symptoms and wanted to age ‘naturally.’ Thank goddesses I saw the li... more

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

111 – Can hormones help postpartum psychosis?
Q: So what if someone was thinking they were starting to experience postpartum psychosis and they wanted to explore the option of hormone treatment? Like how would they go about that?
Louise recommends seeking a clinician experienced in both hormones and mental health. She says psychiatric medication may still be needed in an acute situation, while progesterone and baseline hormone testing may also be considered, with close attention to individual response.
111 – Can hormones help postpartum psychosis?
Q: What happened?
Jade describes a traumatic three-day labor, early anxiety and worsening mental health after her husband returned to work. She later experienced intrusive thoughts, suicidal feelings and postpartum psychosis, leading to admission to a mother and baby unit.
112 – Primodos: the harmful hormone pill prescribed to millions of pregnant women
Q: What three things, if you were the Prime Minister, or if you were the head of the health service, if you had power, you do have power in some ways, but the power that you want, what three things would you want to happen?
Lyon wants drug testing to be independent of pharmaceutical companies, all medicines currently on the market to be retested, and young women to receive education about medicines and their risks.
112 – Primodos: the harmful hormone pill prescribed to millions of pregnant women
Q: So before Primodos, what do they do?
Pregnancy was tested by sending a urine sample to a laboratory, where it was tested on frogs. The process took days, but Lyon says women were generally willing to wait.
110 – Can't tolerate progesterone? It may be progestogens
Q: What are the three main reasons that people should think about progesterone in perhaps a different way than they have done before?
Bronson emphasizes progesterone's calming effects, says it can decline early in adulthood, and distinguishes nervous headaches, which she associates with progesterone, from vascular headaches, which she says may need estrogen.
