Dr. Louise Newson

What have I done?

She said, well, I suddenly started to feel so much better on my hormones.

I had a real solid look at myself and thought, what am I doing with this person that I actually haven't enjoyed being with for the last five years?

But I didn't have the energy.

I didn't have the space.

I didn't have the motivation to leave him.

And now I have because I feel better.

And I realized, you know, she was only in her mid 40s.

So I realized I've got a whole, you know, hopefully next chapter ahead of me.

And I felt really guilty as a doctor that I split up the relationship in a weird way.

But I've known her for many years now and she's had this new lease of life.

But I just think that's actually something that's, you know, can be a positive thing as well.

And it's interesting.

Hmm.

Yeah.

No.

Hmm.

So what are the symptoms or what are the things that you've learned about perimenopause that have surprised you the most with what you're doing and the feedback that you're getting?

But just the feedback on social media.

Yeah, it's a great balance because I don't feel that you're making fun of women, but you are enabling them to think and understand.
