The Menopause with Dr Louise Newson

Рет қаралды 15,487

Күн бұрын

What we’re talking about today will impact 50% of the population, 100% of the time
Yet we don’t prepare for it. There are no specific clinics within the NHS solely dedicated to the treatment of this expected condition. There is incomplete and misleading information and relatively little ongoing research on how to tackle this problem.
To compound this dire scenario, this condition impacts multiple parts of the body. Bone health, heart health, brain health, skin health, mental health, sexual wellbeing. AND it costs 100s of millions (if not billions) of pounds in direct healthcare costs as well as loss in productivity and quality of life.
If you’ve seen the title of today’s podcast, you’ll know I’m talking about the menopause. But if you were confused and were not immediately getting the answer, I don’t blame you. The menopause is shrouded in secrecy, stigma and unfortunately millions of women across the world are simply not getting access to life changing treatment … which we already have!
Dr Louise Newson, author of the No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller Preparing for the Perimenopause and Menopause, is my guest today and is one of the UK’s leading menopause specialists determined to help women thrive.
I love this book and am gifting it to many colleagues because Dr Louise demistifies the menopause and equips the reader with evidence-based advice and practical tips on: HRT treatment options, why menopause should be referred to as a longterm hormone deficiency, and how the right treatment complemented by optimising sleep, nutrition, exercise, and mental health can be so effective. If that wasn’t enough ...
Dr Newson is a GP and menopause specialist and holds an Advanced Menopause Specialist certificate with Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare and the British Menopause Society. She produces evidence-based free content for women about the perimenopause and menopause on the menopausedoctor.co.uk website and social media. She is also the founder of the not-for-profit company, Newson Health Research and Education, the award winning free ‘balance’ menopause support app and The Menopause Charity.
Stick around for my top tips on diet, exercise and longevity at the end. Remember you can find all this information and more at thedoctorskitchen.com and sign up for the newsletter where I share practical tips on what to eat, listen to, read or watch once a week to help you live a healthier lifestyle.

Its fascinating listening to two doctors or clinicians in general who especially think putside of the box talking about these issues and preventative medicine and how bad our system is as doing it and preventing so many other diseases that end up costing the NHS more moeny and also the social and personal cost of not optimising the maximum wellbeing of our society and population. I really wish whenever I see political debates on the NHS on tv or media in general they would bring on a whole panel of practitioners from various sectors of the health service including managers and clinicans from all areas to talk about what our NHS needs and where it could save money and provide the best care and treatment options for the population. It always seems whenever these conversations are had that doctors and clinicans in general and people who actually work in the system are left out of the conversation. I really appreciate Louises work on meopause and how terribly bnelglected this whole area of womens health has been and how badly informed and prepared we are for somehting that will inevitably happen to all women. I would love it if you could do more around mental health and the rare psychiatrists who are prepared also to call out the conventional disgnositic system and overuse of psych meds.It would also be nice to hear more about holistic and alternative approaches to mental and emotional health rather than handing out pills. It would be nice of you could talk to doctors like Joanna MOncrieff and psychologist Richard Bental who are challenging the mental health diagnosis too and how e need to look differently at what they are and how they are treated. Mental health is still such a neglected area and treatments and alternatives are not talked about anywhere near enough. I know this might seem off topic and also abit rosky to do as challenging psychiatry and pharma is another big risky area but if you ever feel inclined or able to find those psychiatrists who challenge the dogma that would be great.

Im in Australia and have a godsend of a dr Colin Hollaway who takes my bloods 6mnthly and prescribes aplant based troche made up in a compounding pharmacy according to my levels . This has completely helped all of my horrible symptoms. Sometimes they go out a bit but the bloods will show the drops etc and get corrected. I am one of those woman who from one day to next felt like jumping off the bridge which is not me at all so I'm so grateful to get the help i need. Thanks to wonderful people like you that take the time to care about all the woman in the world suffering from menapause but like the term female hormone deficiency better. I was soo dissapointed in a female GP who poohood dr Hollaways concept and she had nothing to offer. Thanks so much

I had a TIA at 43. No contraception since. Take clopidogrel. I've been distinctly peri (night sweats, brain fog, headaches, itchy skin, insomnia, lathargy, erratic periods, tingly legs) for approx 10 months. I've had bloods, now awaiting a letter from cardiologist to tell my GP if I'm allowed HRT. My TIA was caused by a PFO left to right shunt. No history of hypertension, no shortness of breath or anything prior, fit as a fiddle. Is there any reason I can't have HRT?

Thank you once again for an intelligent, informed conversation around this subject. I'm in Australia and will be looking for my 3rd doctor to finally give me HORMONES!!! 🤣... I've gone to apparent specialist in this field, spent $$ with zero outcome, oh... except to come back in for another test... NO ONE IS LISTENING. I have seriously been told by 2 doctors I'd have to jump through hoops to get HRT... my friend the same. It's like I'm asking for crack 🤣🙄 It's so disheartening, and who has time to take off work for constant appointments and tests.... If anyone in Australia Brisbane have a good doctor... can I please get their number 🤞🏻

I am in Melbourne and onto my 3rd doctor too. Been fobbed off with antidepressants and fat shamed. Finally got a gynaecologist appointment. I am going in equipped with knowledge. I need HRT to continue living. I am having to cut down work because I cannot cope any more. Ridiculous, I am 58. Am I to just sit at home and wait to die?

I found a Dr. (using Google) under 'Australasian Menopause Society'. I did do some education first for myself to get around resistance for any 'NO you can't take any HRT because.....' I listened to several U tube channels to inform myself on the different types of HRT too. Bioidenticals, I was confused about, but after listening to Dr Louise and Dr. Taylor (American), body identicals were the obvious choice. Yet, I'm on Clamira patches. There is a shortage of the body identical patches here. Going on the gel Estrogel instead. I'd never heard of the word 'perimenopausal' EVER! and after my GP discussed this with me, she put me on the herbal supplements because "I'm not menopausal" 🙄🙃 Useless, and very expensive. Found the clinic here (Gold Coast), and started HRT. My symptoms are better already after 3 weeks. Still hickcupping through the high and low rollcoster ride of hormones, but feeling so much better. Hope this helps you find a Dr. or like me three doctors that I picked that could help me, without them really knowing that they are in fact a team! 👏👏👏😁

A few tips to have a painless peri-menopose: - eat real food, as much organic as possible - remove from your home all chemical products - stop using beauty products loaded with chemicals which contain hormonally disruptor and go for organic oils, real soap made from organic oils

Why do we have to pay so much for HRT they should b cheaper for us cheers for info thx

@doctors_kitchen Жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing your concerns about the cost of HRT. There are several factors that can contribute to its high cost, including research and development, manufacturing, and regulatory fees. Insurance coverage and other factors can also impact the cost. It's always a good idea to discuss your options and concerns with a healthcare provider, as they may be able to help you find more affordable options or assist with insurance coverage.

Estrogen doesn't cause breast cancer. Alchohol, smoking, terrible diets and processed foods and lack of exercise are way more likely to cause it than any estrogen. We've had it our whole lives and it never caused cancer. Be careful of the misinformation you are getting. Most of all don't spread it. We don't need more misinformation on this subject. Got enough already. Estrogen protects against breast cancer and other cancers.
