But we do that all the time in medicine.

If you meet people with underactive thyroid gland, they're often on different doses of thyroxine.

People with diabetes, type 1 diabetes, they'll all be on different doses of insulin.

Medicine is an art, it's a science.

And what's wrong, actually, is if we individualise care.

And about half of the women we see in our clinic are on HRT, but it's not the right dose or type.

And so we do that a lot in medicine.

To personalise medicine is really important so people can be, you know, as healthy and as well as possible because that's what everyone wants out of their patients.

No plans to come to Ireland with the theatre?

No.

Oh, do you know what?

I would love to.

It's difficult because we're touring with a theatre tour, but I would love to come to Ireland.

I came a few years ago and, you know, you're all so friendly.

So I would come over at a heartbeat even just to talk.

Well, listen, I think that... Because the more knowledge people have, the better.

Yeah, and also my work extends to PMS, premenstrual syndrome, PMDD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, postnatal depression, PCOS, which is now PMOS.

So all these are hormonal changes that are really affecting women.

So, you know, we see a lot of women and learn a lot all the time from our clinical knowledge and experience.

So, Matt, you're on my podcast and I'm very excited to talk to you because my husband introduced me to you, actually.
