QUOTES

“Just because you’re really good at what you do doesn’t mean that’s what you should keep doing. And I think that’s the power of midlife– it’s this amazing opportunity to wake up.” 

“There are days where I’m like, oh man. But, I recalibrate. I reset. And the thing I always tell myself is that tomorrow is another day.” 

“A hundred percent of women have low testosterone after a certain age… and only about 20% of men are low producers, [yet] they have 20 [testosterone] products.”

EPISODE SUMMARY

Too many women are being told NO to getting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for their menopause symptoms in midlife. 

But the truth is… the benefits of HRT can WAY outweigh the risks for helping you feel like yourself again. The problem? 

The massive knowledge gap in hormonal medicine.  

That’s why this week, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Louise Newson, a trailblazing general practitioner and menopause specialist who’s transforming the conversation around hormone health. 

We’re diving into the real risks of not prescribing HRT, why hormones can be a game changer for your symptoms, and the surprising link between menopause, migraines, and inflammation. 

Dr. Newson is bringing the science and clarity to the HRT convo, and she’s here to help you reclaim your voice—and your hormonal health. 

Listen here to set the record straight and start advocating for what you truly deserve!

  2. Synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones 
  3. Advocating for yourself and addressing the conversation of hormone replacement therapy options with your doctor 
  4. Individualizing hormone replacement therapies 
  5. Hormones for addressing conditions like migraine 
  6. How hormones affect women’s long-term health 
  7. HRT for mitigating inflammation in the entire body 
  8. Lifestyle suggestions and habits to promote hormonal balance 

QUOTES

“Let’s just remind ourselves that hormones are an evidence-based treatment and the guidelines are telling us that it has more benefits than risks for the majority of women. Yet… It’s only a minority of women in our countries and other countries that are receiving it.” 

“It’s harrowing what people are being told by their clinicians. And they often just want advice. They don’t always want treatment, or they want to know the treatment options available to them in the future. But they’re not getting any answers, and I think this is a great disservice to women.” 

“I see a lot in the clinic, women who have seen all sorts of specialists, have all sorts of treatments, but no one’s spoken about their hormones.”
