Dr. Louise Newson

So let's see what the next...

A few months and years bring, but I think it's an exciting time because, you know, partnering with each other, partnering with our patients, with communities, we've just got to have a group effect to really work at speed to improve future health, which is what we want really.

Excellent.

progesterone is a real mother hormone it's really important it's not just a hormone that works on the lining of our womb and helps regulate our periods it works everywhere and it's a very important neurosteroids it's very very important in the brain in fact one of the first things our brain does if we had a stroke or head injury is produce progesterone to repair those brain cells very quickly

Oh, thanks, Liz.

Yeah, and I wish I'd written this book about 10 years ago, actually.

As you know, writing a book takes a huge amount of work.

And I have said to my husband, and I'm saying it for the record, I'm not going to write another book because it's really, this is...

This is something that's taken a lot of time, a lot of energy, a lot of effort and a lot of knowledge.

But it's really important because what I've realized over the last decade, especially when I've been doing so much work in hormones, is there's so much misinformation and misunderstanding of basic physiology.

And when I say basic physiology, it's how our body works and responds to natural hormones.

Somehow the conversation accelerated into the HRT is going to kill us and cause breast cancer without even people knowing what hormones are and the difference between natural and synthetic hormones, which we can talk about.

So this book is really laying the foundations.

thinking about, like you say, those three hormones, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, what they are, what they do in our bodies when we have them naturally.

So I'm not writing about what HRT does.
