I visit a Newson clinic. Quite literally, my practitioner saved my life - and certainly my marriage. The challenges I encountered with my mental health whilst in perimenopause seemed insurmountable. The catastrophic consequences of my plummeting hormones were upon me before I even knew what was going on. (Childhood trauma 'came back' and ripped me apart.) I have also added an oestrogen cream to my regime - again, I had no idea until learning more via Dr Kelly. We have NO 'education' on this stage of our lives in the UK (Newson is butting that trend), with Davina in the UK acting as a barrier to accessing information - again stuck in symptom mode. In the UK we have a view that opposes education - that we should just 'get on with it', and its 'natural'. 100 years ago, at 51, in the UK, I would have been dead by now! How much dementia, UTI, divorce, joblessness, broken bones, addiction, suicide, heart disease, diabetes would be reduced if HRT were not considered 'taboo'? I was 'allowed' massive doses of hormones freely throughout my teens - twenties and thirties to be able to engage in childfree sex - now I want some hormones to be able to live out the rest of MY life ailment free - and there is suddenly an issue?.... My free GP turned me away as I wasn't having symptoms on her check list - namely hot sweats. My GP could not fathom that I wanted HRT in part to prevent the diseases associated with peri/menopause. Osteoporosis/Heart Disease & Dementia - my GP 'argued' with my on every single one. I am empowered to pay my practitioner for her specialist knowledge with the re-assurance I am getting the best information - specifically for me - that is available. There has been a quite ridiculous back lash to Newson on a tv 'show' - and entirely unbiased pathetic performance. But - unfortunately, we treat women poorly in the UK - and this show was merely a manifestation of that..

I had stage 1 grade 1 breast cancer and DCIS, dbl mastectomy, now the onc wants me to completely wipe out what little estrogen my 64 yo body may be making by taking an AI drug. It is inhumane. I was on topical estriol/progesterone and vaginal estriol 3x a wk. I had to quit all but the vag estriol. It was AWFUL. I have since found a hormone dr and gone back on an estradiol patch 0.035mg. I cld not tol micronized progesterone at all. Horrible IBS and gall bladder issue. I do not have a uterus, only one ovary. Had Endo. Bad. My Med Onc is not happy with me, but I am already a thin woman. I do NOT want to break a hip. I have had osteopenia since early 50s. I do cont to be fearful of BC recurrence. The muscle aches and pains are real without HRT!! I have friends on hormone blockers because of Breast Cancer and they can hardly move! I can Not do that to myself. Great video! Thanks!!

🤭 💯

Great podcast. As a former caregiver to the elderly woman need to wake up to how life can look without decades of hormones.

Thank you Kelly for this channel and wonderful content!

Dear Kelly, being a 57.stage menopausal, thanks to your sharings about this topic, I got introduced to vaginal estrogen creams. Here in Turkey we only have one cream available: ESTRIOL 1mg/g, that I started using 4 months ago, saving lots of things that would have been vanished from my marriage. My vagina is healthier than 7 years ago!! There is something I need to share and be enlightened about: I use it twice a week and especially on the next day the odour coming from that part is very unpleasant. This change of smell I had noticed from the very beginning of the application. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to prevent this unpleasant odour? Am I the only 1 woman who experieces this condition?

With estradiol, I have the patch form but it is hard to keep on. Are estradiol pills as effective, more effective, safe, etc…? There is such conflicting info out there. You are a breath of fresh air with this info!

Thank you so much! Called my gyno today and she sent out the cream. Can’t wait for results! You are wonderful, and I am following your page now.

Watching from Portugal. Finding HRT at 69 in an EU country is extremely challenging. I did not give up and have finally found a doctor I can work with and trust. Yet, her field is “anti-aging medicine”…which means thousands of women in this country are not being provided for in the public system.

I’m convinced I’m in perimenopause at 40 with irregular periods, many symptoms…worst being sleep issues out of the blue when I turned 40. I’ve been given 400mg progesterone nightly, some nights it works others it doesn’t do anything!! I’ve tried adding in low dose divigel 0.25 daily but my sleep gets worse every other night instead of the every 3 nights! It’s so frustrating with no help trying to figure it all out on my own has been so sad. I’ve been to so many doctors, had so many tests and nobody is educated on this. Even the hormone doctor I found basically just gives the hormones and that’s about it. This needs to change thank you for being such inspiring women trying to change women’s health! 💕

Louise newson is the best❤ Dont let stupid ignorant people put u down❤

This was fantastic!

I've never heard you speak about lung function... I cough chronically since starting low dose transdermal estrodial plus natural progesterone plus natural testosterone. Plenty of mucus, and had to start asthma medication. What are your thoughts? And please share link if there is already a video on this topic.

Again, you two are amazing! I felt everything you touched on. I even finished some of your sentences as you said them, or said them along with you. I started my journey to finding the old me wayyy too late, but she's coming back. And thanks to ladies like you two, maybe generations after us won't have to suffer the way we have! It's a long, hard journey! I am thankful for the support I've found on podcasts and TH-cam channels like this one!

This is such an important and amazing interview! Thank you both for all you do for women of all ages ❤

Both amazing women. Thanks 😊

Are diabetics addicted to insulin?

Is there any good data on Testosterone and breast cancer recurrence?

I wish all doctors were like you two so we wouldn’t have to search for help on TH-cam. Please keep doing what you’re doing, and one day all your knowledge will become common knowledge, helping women live long, healthy lives. Thank you both!

When is the best age to start estradiol? I’m 51 😊

👋listening to you from Italy -learned so much from you -thanks for what you do 🙏

Hilarious ! Loved this pod. If I was to meet Dr Kelly I would be fangirling soooo hard too.

2 awesome women speaking TRUTH.... Thank goodness for people like you, the internet and "Dr Google"... ❤

I started testosterone three months ago and loved it since it was giving me tons of energy. Unfortunately, now it has started to make me tired. Does anyone know why that would be?

Yes another woman whom specializes on this subject said addictions go through the roof. And trauma comes back from youth. I recommend women not to drink at all. Really by 40/41 you shouldn't be consuming it. And also Homepathy remedies from a practitioner daily will help that craving.

❤❤ two amazing women ... thankyou so much for all you do

An excellent conversation! Thx

I love my urogyno

Sooooo good!! Both Docs, just amazing!❤❤❤

She is incredible..you, too!

👏👏👏👏👏👏Is everyone in the back row listening and paying attention to these two smart, professional women? The story about the woman using cocaine to stop her bad thoughts brought tears to my eyes. It makes me so angry. Hopefully one day this information will be made available to every woman who sees a doctor during annual physicals/exams. As young girls most of us are told about what happens when we start periods but, who tells us anything about what to expect during peri menopause and menopause?

Here in New Zealand we have a TV program called "The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes." It employes people with early onset Alzheimer's/Dementia. At least 3 of the women on it are in their late 50's and I can't help but wonder if they would have benefited from hormones if they had been seen by a GP who knew and understood Perimenipause etc. So sad.

Great wealth of information right here between the two of you, thank you both.

I had a hysterectomy last year and I'm on 0.075 patch estradiol but I'm still having muscle aches & sleep issues. Should I also look at progesterone & or testosterone?

My lady Dr. was hesitant in giving hrt and only says testosterone if your libido is low. Atm patches are in low in supply in Australia (maybe world wide) i am sure if this was a medication men took, there would be shortage.!

Words are not enough to show how grateful I am for you both and this podcast… I am 67 and still suffering the side affects of my hormone imbalance Thank you so much for enlightening me and giving me the courage to go out and seek and find what I truly need…

Two awesome doctors....thank you for supporting the health of women in a world of massive gaslighting. Gyno told my sweating insomnia mother that HRT will give her a heart attack at 78 😢

SO thrilled to see this episode pop up today! 🤗 Dr. Newson has literally been my go to for all things perimenopause, especially how much attention and care she pays to the mental health affects, which has been my biggest symptom. Dr. Kelly’s honest talks with experts brings a relaxed atmosphere to this difficult transition in life. I appreciate both your podcasts SO much! Thank you BOTH for ALL that you do. ♥️ You deserve medals!

Dr Newson is a hero and women's rights activist unfortunately facing the typical misogynistic pushback from ignorant people and some parts of the British establishment. By the way, women have had to endure this kind of pushback and unjustified accusations for ages ♀️ Let us unite behind these two strong brave wonderful doctors who literally saved thousands of women's lives. Without them I probably would have given up my academic job as I could not sleep, suffered from brain fog and had lost all joy of life. So thank you, thank you, thank you to both of these two wonderful doctors here from Germany 🙏🙏🙏

How does having ovarian cysts (benign to my knowledge at this point) factor into HRT … patch and prometrium? My GP is feeling like it is why my cyst is growing and tempted to stop my HRT 😢

She has lost her British Menopause accreditation for prescribing high doses of HRT as per the BBC.

Thank you so much both of you for your commitment to helping us women in our menopausal and post menopausal years!!! I am on hormone therapy because of you caring doctors! Thank you!!!!! ❤😊

Where is the whole podcasts?

Tumeric tumeric tumeric More effective than Prozac or Zoloft for anxiety and depression Great for joint pain Great for disrupting cancer of the breast Randomized control group studies …Gold standard.

Long in the tooth means gum recession.

This woman is very anti supplements and is really annoying.

For hair loss you should really do a urinary iodine test from Hakala labs. Most people are deficient and anytime I have iodine my eyebrows and lashes and baby hairs start growing back.

The drugs that i was put on have wrecked me. Saw the same doctor for 25 years and now he’s retiring and cut my meds to less than half of my dosage because the new doctor was not comfortable with the dosage he prescribed. This doctor was almost giddy. He got away with it. I am in trouble. This doctor is a rheumatologist.

I've been recommended estrogen for osteoporosis. Is the vaginally still suitable thanks great info x

New York is in the dark ages for medicine. One of the reasons I don't live there is the terrible medical care that is run by dinosaurs from the 1950s. I have atypical ductal hyperplasia. It's true that tamoxifen is the recommended treatment, but both the high-risk oncologist and the meno lady at my local NCI cancer center said it was totally up to me what I did- that I was in charge, I would be supported, and I could continue HRT, I could take tamoxifen, and they would support all of it. I cannot imagine that happening in New York, ever.
