| 10/15/26 |  110 – Can't tolerate progesterone? It may be progestogens | Biochemist Dr Phyllis Bronson on why women who can't tolerate progesterone may actually be reacting to progestogens/progestins (the synthetic type of progesterone)Phyllis has spent decades researching progesterone and mood, and her doctoral work looked at the molecular differences between body identical progesterone and the synthetic progestogens found in many contraceptive pills and older types of HRT. She joins Dr Louise Newson to share the primate study that changed how she saw synthetic hormones, and why a small change to a molecule can have such a big effect on the body.They talk about progesterone as the "molecule of calm", how transdermal and oral progesterone work differently in the brain and why some women may simply need a higher dose. They also discuss progesterone's role in making cortisol, and why it's often the first hormone to decline, sometimes as early as your 20s and 30s. | 30m 57s | ||||||
| 10/13/26 |  109 - Can you take HRT with endometriosis? | Can you take HRT if you have endometriosis? Nicola Roberts feared it would bring her pain back. Now she takes estradiol, progesterone and testosterone and feels the best she has since she was 12.Nicola's periods were agonising from the start, but she was put on the pill at 13 and told by nurses to take Anadin and use a hot water bottle. At 25 she was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis, then spent years on Depo-Provera, which left her with low mood, body aches and, at 40, osteoporosis.Dr Louise Newson explains why synthetic contraceptives aren't the same as hormones, why Depo-Provera works "like giving you a menopause straight off", and how low testosterone is linked to endometriosis. They also talk about why so few women are offered testosterone, and how changing her diet and cutting sugar helped Nicola.Nicola closes with her take-home advice for anyone with endometriosis who has been told hormones aren't an option.Let’s connect👉 Track your symptoms andunderstand hormones, download the Balance app: https://bit.ly/4yZty5A👉 More from Dr LouiseNewson: https://linkin.bio/drlouisenewson | 31m 22s | ||||||
| 10/8/26 |  108 –The 'evidence-based bullies' silencing HRT education | Doctors are being taught to treat hormone guidance as if it's law, but according to retired GP and medical educator Dr Mark Coombe, that guidance is too often "at best very conservative, at worst wrong."Mark spent two decades in education and assessment for the Royal College of GPs and founded FourteenFish, the training platform used by hundreds of thousands of clinicians. He and Louise previously built free hormone education for GPs together — education that was pulled from its hosting platform after a handful of doctors complained it didn't "run to the guidelines."In this conversation, Mark and Louise unpack how guidance gets misused as law in consultations and courtrooms, why NICE menopause guidance mentions breast cancer over 20 times more often than osteoporosis, and why more female GPs take HRT than the general public despite so much hesitancy to prescribe it. They close with three take-home tips on why every healthcare professional has a duty of care to understand progesterone, estradiol and testosterone.Let’s connect👉 Track your symptoms andunderstand hormones, download the Balance app: https://bit.ly/4yZty5A👉 More from Dr LouiseNewson: https://linkin.bio/drlouisenewson | 31m 37s | ||||||
| 10/6/26 |  107 – Menopause, testosterone & rowing the Atlantic at 50 | In this really interesting episode, two ocean rowers over 50 share their menopause journeys. One of them takes all three hormones, and the other would love to but has been refused testosterone by so many doctors.Gail Wolstenholme and Nicola Matthews are part of Team Old Enough to Row Better, a five-person crew aiming to become the oldest mixed team to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in the World's Toughest Row. Gail takes all three hormones and describes testosterone as "like the sun coming out." Nicola has tried the Mirena coil, gels and patches without feelinglike herself, was told by one GP she was too old for "that mucky stuff" and handed antidepressants, and still can't get testosterone prescribed in Scotland.Dr Louise Newson explains why it's still so hard to access evidence-based hormone treatment, why testosterone matters for women's mood, energy and coordination, and why you can't exercise your way out of hormone deficiency.They also share why taking up something new after 50 matters, from staying physically and mentally active to building confidence and widening your social circle, with four take-home tips.Sponsor the crew: www.oldenoughtorowbetter.co.ukFollow: @old_enough_to_row_betterLET'S CONNECT👉Been dismissed or offered antidepressants instead of hormones?

| 10/1/26 |  106 – Hormonal acne, hair loss & ageing skin with Dr Saj Rajpar | Consultant dermatologist Dr Saj Rajpar, making his fifth visit to the podcast, joins Louise to explain why acne, hair loss and ageing skin are so often driven by hormones rather than skincare.Saj runs Midland Skin in Birmingham and has worked alongside Louise for years, since a shared patient's hair loss first brought them together. That collaboration runs through this conversation, from hormonal acne that flares before every period to a patient whose acne returned after switching from bioidentical progesterone to the Mirena coil.They also discuss why "dermatologist" isn't a protected title and what to check before booking high-street laser treatments, how the contraceptive pill and synthetic progestogens can block oestrogen's benefits for skin, and why dramatic skin ageing can be a sign of unaddressed menopause rather than normal ageing.Louise closes, as always, with three take-home tips — this time on why the skin matters more than you'd think.Let’s connect👉 Track your symptoms andunderstand hormones, download the Balance app: https://bit.ly/4yZty5A👉 More from Dr LouiseNewson: https://linkin.bio/drlouisenewson👉 Follow Saj:@dr.rajpar_dermatologist | 30m 29s | ||||||
| 9/29/26 |  105 – Mathilde Barker: endometriosis at 19, menopause at 23 | Mathilde Barker was 23 when she finally understood why, since the age of 14, doctors had told her it was "just" muscle strain, put her on antidepressants, and once removed her appendix by mistake. It took five years to get a diagnosis of endometriosis, and two surgeries later, adenomyosis too.She joins Dr Louise Newson to talk through her whole journey: the misdiagnoses, a scan result that was reversed by a phone call, being told by a doctor at 19 that having a baby would cure her symptoms, and the reality of being put into a medically induced menopause in her twenties just to manage the pain.Louise explains what's actually happening in the body with endometriosis and adenomyosis, why low testosterone and progesterone are so common in women with these conditions, and why blocking hormones completely isn't always the right approach.Louise ends, as always, with three take-home tips for anyone who suspects they — or someone they know — might have endometriosis or adenomyosis.Lets connect👉 Track your symptoms and understand hormones, download the Balance app: https://bit.ly/4yZty5A👉 More from Dr Louise Newson: https://linkin.bio/drlouisenewson👉 Follow Mathilde: @mathildebarker | 33m 49s | ||||||
| 9/24/26 |  104 – What the research shows about menopause and suicide risk | In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Dr Pooja Saini and psychologist Dr Olivia Hendriks to discuss their important research into perimenopause, menopause and suicide risk. Together, they explore why hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can have such profound impacts on mental health, and why this connection is still often overlooked in both research and clinical care.They also discuss findings showing significant improvements in mental health and suicidal thoughts with appropriate hormone treatments, and why greater awareness, better research and more frequent prescribing of hormones are urgently needed to improve the health of women.This is a really important episode highlighting the important link between menopause and suicide risk that can’t be ignored.Let’s connect👉 Read the full research paper discussed in this episode: https://www.drlouisenewson.co.uk/knowledge/hormone-related-suicide-risk-going-undetected👉 More from Dr Louise Newson: https://linkin.bio/drlouisenewson | 31m 31s | ||||||
| 9/22/26 |  103 – A fighter pilot's menopause: HRT, testosterone & guilt with Jo Salter | Jo flew supersonic jets under extreme pressure for a living, but missed the menopause happening inside her own body.This week Dr Louise Newson is joined by Jo Salter, Britain's first female fast jet pilot, who spent years pushing through severe menopause symptoms without realising what they were, until she found herself mentally ticking off a symptom checklist in the middle of a conference. They talk about why testosterone is still so hard for women to access even on an NHS prescription, and the guidelines that leave many women denied any hormones at all after a surgical menopause.Louise also explains why breast cancer shouldn't automatically rule out HRT, the buried history of progesterone and postnatal depression, and shares a patient story that shows just how much hormones can transform a life.Jo closes with her three take-home tips for building the confidence to advocate for your own health.Let’s connect👉 Track your symptoms and understand hormones, download the Balance app: https://bit.ly/4yZty5A👉 More from Dr Louise Newson: https://linkin.bio/drlouisenewson👉Follow Jo: @josaltermbe | 38m 59s | ||||||
| 9/17/26 |  102 – GLP-1s, hormones & the truth about weight gain with Rose Stokes | Rose Stokes, journalist and host of the Matter of Fat podcast, joins Dr Louise Newson to talk GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, the hormones behind weight gain and the shame around women's bodies.Rose has lived with obesity on and off for thirty years and is currently taking GLP-1 medication herself, after months of exercise and calorie counting made no difference to her weight post-pregnancy. She and Louise talk candidly about what these drugs can and can't do, and why "easy" is the last word Rose would use to describe taking them.Louise explains why women are so often told their weight is a food and exercise problem when the real cause can be hormonal. They also cover the research gaps around GLP-1s and women's hormones and why blame and shame make it harder to get the right help.Rose closes with her three take-home tips for anyone rethinking their relationship with weight.Let’s connect👉 Track your symptoms and understand hormones, download the Balance app: https://bit.ly/4yZty5A👉 More from Dr LouiseNewson: https://linkin.bio/drlouisenewson👉 Follow Rose: Insta: @rosestokeshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-matter-of-fat/id6805913565https://open.spotify.com/show/469s4SFr3DNivfx1dQVyXR?si=9065a05ed85b4723 | 33m 16s | ||||||
| 9/15/26 |  101 – Luteal Uglies - what does this mean? | Up to 80% of women with PMDD have suicidal thoughts. Online, it's being trivialised as the 'luteal uglies'.In this solo episode, Dr Louise Newson explains what'sactually happening in the second half of your menstrual cycle. She describes the sharp drop in progesterone that can trigger low mood, anxiety, irritability, brain fog, fatigue and more, and why calling it the 'lutealuglies’ does women a disservice.Louise traces how PMDD was made a psychiatric condition in the 1960s and 70s, sidelining the work of Dr Katharina Dalton, a GP whose research on natural progesterone was decades ahead of its time. She explains why hormonal contraception doesn't actually contain hormones, why low testosterone is so often mistaken for fibromyalgia or depression, and how a symptom questionnaire can help you track your own pattern across your cycle.Louise closes with three take-home tips on getting the right diagnosis and treatment and why sharing this episode matters.Let’s connect👉 Track your symptoms andunderstand hormones, download the Balance app: https://bit.ly/4yZty5A👉 More from Dr LouiseNewson: https://linkin.bio/drlouisenewson | 27m 34s | ||||||

| 8/6/26 |  90 – Hair loss, hormones and menopause: what’s really causing it? Archana Rao | Hair loss can have a profound impact on confidence, yet many women are told it’s simply part of getting older or encouraged to spend hundreds of pounds on products that promise far more than they can deliver.This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by consultant dermatologist and hair specialist Dr Archana Rao to explore the powerful relationship between hormones, menopause and hair health. Together they explain why changes in your hair are often a sign of what’s happening inside the body, why hormones matter far more than many people realise and why getting the right diagnosis is so important.They discuss the different types of hair loss women can experience during perimenopause and menopause, including frontal fibrosing alopecia, an increasingly common condition that can cause permanent hair loss if left untreated. Dr Rao explains the warning signs to look out for, why early diagnosis matters, and how treatment can help prevent further damage.Louise and Archana also talk about the role of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone in supporting healthy hair, why hair loss is rarely caused by one factor alone, and how looking beyond the scalp can help identify underlying hormonal or medical causes.LET'S CONNECT👉 Subscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@menopause_doctor?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/menopause_doctor/?hl=en&utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drlouisenewson/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@drlouisenewson?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7dCctfyI9bODGDaFnjfKhg?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+LEARN MORE👉 Download my balance apphttps://balance-app.com/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Order my new bookhttps://bio.to/ThePowerofHormones?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Speak to Newson Clinichttps://www.newsonhealth.co.uk/?utm_source=louise_podcast&utm_medium=show_notes&utm_campaign=clinic_cross_promotion👉 Visit my websitehttps://www.drlouisenewson.co.uk/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+ | 25m 44s | ||||||
| 8/4/26 |  89 – The six lifestyle changes that support your hormones and health | Women are often told to choose between hormone treatment or lifestyle changes, when in reality the two work best together.This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by GP and lifestyle medicine physician Dr Clare Nieland to explore how nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management and social connection work alongside hormones to improve women’s health.Together they discuss why lifestyle medicine is grounded in evidence rather than wellness trends, why preventing disease should be just as important as treating it and how small, sustainable lifestyle changes can reduce inflammation, improve symptoms and lower the risk of future disease. They also explain why hormones are often the missing piece that enable women to make positive lifestyle changes in the first place.Louise and Clare discuss:Why hormones and lifestyle medicine should work together, not be seen as alternativesThe six pillars of lifestyle medicine and how they support women’s healthWhy reducing inflammation is key to preventing chronic diseaseHow nutrition, strength training and sleep become even more important during menopauseWhy personalised care is more effective than a one-size-fits-all approachThis episode is an empowering conversation about taking control of your health, understanding how hormones and lifestyle work together and discovering the small changes that can make a meaningful difference to both your quality of life and your long-term health.LET'S CONNECT👉 Subscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@menopause_doctor?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/menopause_doctor/?hl=en&utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drlouisenewson/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@drlouisenewson?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7dCctfyI9bODGDaFnjfKhg?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+LEARN MORE👉 Download mybalance apphttps://balance-app.com/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Order my new bookhttps://bio.to/ThePowerofHormones?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Speak to Newson Clinichttps://www.newsonhealth.co.uk/?utm_source=louise_podcast&utm_medium=show_notes&utm_campaign=clinic_cross_promotion👉 Visit my websitehttps://www.drlouisenewson.co.uk/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+ | 34m 40s | ||||||
| 7/30/26 |  88 – Endometriosis, surgical menopause and getting the right hormone treatments | Having your ovaries removed causes an immediate menopause, yet many women are still told to simply ‘see how they get on’ afterwards.This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Laura Daly, who shares her experience of surgical menopause at the age of 37 following treatment for severe endometriosis. Having seen first-hand how hormonetreatment transformed her mother’s life after PMDD, Laura knew she wanted to understand her options before surgery and advocate for the care she needed.Together they discuss why replacing hormones after surgical menopause is about far more than relieving symptoms. Laura shares how she experienced brain fog, anxiety, joint pain, palpitations, poor sleep and a loss of confidence despite being prescribed a standard dose of HRT, and explains the remarkable improvements she noticed once her hormone treatment was personalised.Louise and Laura also explore why hormone treatments should be individualised, why women who have their ovaries removed lose more than just estrogen and why treating the underlying hormone deficiency is so important for both current symptoms and future health.Louise and Laura discuss:Why women need a plan for hormone replacement before surgical menopauseWhy replacing oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone can all be importantWhy hormone treatment should be tailored to the individual, not standardisedThe long-term health benefits of optimising hormones after early menopauseWhy women deserve informed choices about their treatment after ovary removalThis episode is an empowering conversation about advocatingfor better care, understanding your hormones and ensuring women receive the treatment they need to protect both their quality of life and their future health.LET'S CONNECT👉 Subscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@menopause_doctor?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/menopause_doctor/?hl=en&utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drlouisenewson/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@drlouisenewson?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7dCctfyI9bODGDaFnjfKhg?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+LEARN MORE👉 Download mybalance apphttps://balance-app.com/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Order my new bookhttps://bio.to/ThePowerofHormones?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Speak to NewsonClinichttps://www.newsonhealth.co.uk/?utm_source=louise_podcast&utm_medium=show_notes&utm_campaign=clinic_cross_promotion👉 Visit my websitehttps://www.drlouisenewson.co.uk/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+ | 28m 15s | ||||||
| 7/28/26 |  87 – When motherhood changes your brain: the missing role of hormones Laura Guckian | Becoming a mother is often described as the happiest time in a woman’s life. But for many, it can also be the hardest.In this week’s episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Motherhood Coach, Maternal Mental Wellbeing expert and Founder of Mind Mommy Coaching, Laura Guckian, who shares her deeply personal story of severe postnatal mental health difficulties that led her to admit herself to a psychiatric hospital when her son was just 10 months old. Years later, she was diagnosed with autism and ADHD, helping her make sense of experiences that had never fully been explained.Together, Louise and Laura explore why hormonal changes after pregnancy can have such profound effects on the brain, particularly for neurodivergent women, and why hormones are so often overlooked in conversations about maternal mental health. They discuss the limitations of labels such as postnatal depression, why antidepressants don’t address the underlying cause for every woman and how understanding progesterone, testosterone and estradiol may transform the way we support mothers.This is an important conversation about feeling unseen, finding answers and why every woman deserves healthcare that looks beyond symptoms to understand what’s really happening.LET'S CONNECT👉 Subscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@menopause_doctor?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/menopause_doctor/?hl=en&utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drlouisenewson/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@drlouisenewson?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7dCctfyI9bODGDaFnjfKhg?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+LEARN MORE👉 Download mybalance apphttps://balance-app.com/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Order my new bookhttps://bio.to/ThePowerofHormones?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Speak to NewsonClinichttps://www.newsonhealth.co.uk/?utm_source=louise_podcast&utm_medium=show_notes&utm_campaign=clinic_cross_promotion👉 Visit my websitehttps://www.drlouisenewson.co.uk/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+ | 34m 32s | ||||||
| 7/23/26 |  86 - How hormone treatments, including testosterone, reduce future diseases | Hormone treatments are often seen as a treatment to help with symptoms, but many clinicians still do not understand how they can improve our future health too.This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by physician, endocrinologist and longevity expert Dr Florence Comite to explore why balancing hormones is about far more than managing symptoms. Together they discuss how hormones influence every organ in the body, why healthcare should focus more on preventing diseases than treating them and why personalised medicine is key to helping people live healthier for longer.Florence explains why the hormones estradiol, progesterone and testosterone are so important for brain, heart, bone and muscle health, why testosterone starts declining long before menopause, and how understanding an individual’s unique biology can transform the way we approach ageing.Together, Louise and Florence discuss:Why balancing hormones can reduce the risk of future diseaseThe differences between bioidentical and synthetic hormone treatmentsWhy testosterone is important throughout a woman’s life, not just after menopauseThe lasting negative impacts of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) studyWhy prevention and precision medicine should be the future of healthcare.This conversation challenges the traditional approach to medicine and offers a powerful reminder that optimising hormones isn’t just about feeling better today, it’s about investing in your long-term health.LET'S CONNECT👉 Subscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@menopause_doctor?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/menopause_doctor/?hl=en&utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drlouisenewson/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@drlouisenewson?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7dCctfyI9bODGDaFnjfKhg?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+LEARN MORE👉 Download mybalance apphttps://balance-app.com/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Order my new bookhttps://bio.to/ThePowerofHormones?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Speak to Newson Clinic | 33m 23s | ||||||
