My main emotion coming off the back of that is relief.

Because as I said at the start, that is a chat that I've been putting off having for a very long time.

I am 45 this year in a few months time.

So this is very much a conversation that I need to be having.

And these are subjects that I fundamentally want to understand better so that I can make informed decisions about what I want to do next.

As Louise said, she's not sat here saying everybody should take hormones.

But what we should be doing is looking out for symptoms that are causing us great distress or even just like mild annoyance and do something about it.

Louise's new book, The Power of Hormones, is out on the 21st of May.

Now, Louise mentioned in the conversation that I'd had a chat with the brilliant Liz Earle last month.

If you haven't already listened to that one, that is probably a good one to go and listen to next if you want to get deeper into this kind of sort of healthy, ageing conversation.

A massive thanks again to Louise and to you.

Gorgeous lot.

You are brilliant.

This is the sexiest thing you've ever seen.

What I was thinking was, the sun's out, Ryland's coming over, I'm going to drink shitloads of tequila.

Anxiety can go in the bin.

We had this sort of like sanity-saving walk last Friday night after dinner.
