In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined once again by journalist, author and friend Kate Muir to reflect on where the menopause conversation really stands. From the science behind body-identical hormones to the deep frustrations of outdated medical thinking, this is a wide-ranging conversation about what women are still being denied, why fear continues to shape healthcare and what happens when evidence is ignored. Dr Louise and Kate talk honestly about the backlash following a BBC Panorama programme featuring Dr Louise’s clinic, the real-world consequences for women who’ve been taken off treatment and the emotional toll of being publicly challenged for speaking up. They also explore why hormones matter far beyond symptom relief, touching on brain health, sleep, ageing and long-term disease prevention. Want more from the podcast?
