    Thanks to your clinic, I am thriving on HRT. Without you and your clinic colleagues, I would have been left on a list for a year to be seen by a specialist. I was so bad I wasn't able to function, never mind work. Adding in testosterone brought back my energy and ability to return to work and life. My own gp admitted SHE hadn't read the NICE guidelines that would confirm what I was asking for. Just not fair, but thanks for continuing to help and improve womens health. ❤❤

    My niece is 19 and has a coil, but if I understand it correctly, that can cause her menopausal symptoms? Are the eggs always switched off with the Mirena coil, or can that vary in women? And should she have her SFH tested to see whether she still ovulates? What is the best way to find out if your ovaries have been switched off by the coil?

I look back to aged 38 Iam 48 now , the symptoms over the years are totally making sense , the heavy periods, then no periods for ages , anxiety, memory, taking in information, dizziness unexplained for years , now the not coping and now struggling with absolutely everything. Thank you to you Louise for all you do for women.

      As doctors all over the world have to explain: do not read the little inserts in the medication box: these warning labels dot come with every product that contains hormones are just plain WRONG. They were written for old synthetic hormones that were used in the USA 20 years ago (hormones made from pregnant horses' urine!!!) that have nothing to do with modern bodyidenticall transdermal HRT!!!!!!! Just get informed more rhrough the very educational podcasts of Dr Louise Newson (not the most recent ones but those that are a little older where she concentrates on the basics) and then make an informed decision and take your hormones! I did the same and I feel so much better! I just wish I had known of Doctor Newson ten years earlier! Best wishes to you from Germany 🇩🇪

      ... and of course exercising and a healthy diet are essential! I would always prefer giving my body back its natural hormones than figh high blood pressure with ("hardcore") expensive betablockers (which might work better in men because they have been tested but many of this medications have not been tested on women properly 🙄!!!). You should know that transdermal estrogen does not increase clotting risks. On the contrary, it might even be the only way to naturally reverse the aging process and keep your heart, your bones and your brain healthy! 🙏💪

    I heard from several French doctors that women just start to piss all over themselves from a certain age. Guess what, I needed estrogen to heal incontinence, and it did stop it COMPLETELY. Maybe some doctors should stop pretending they provide medical care to females. They should state "males only" right at their door, which would save women loads of time.

    Hi Dr Newson, I follow Dr Felice G. and I have friends who are her patients. I am happy to see you connected with her and consider reading her publications as well as her approach is not equivalent in terms of what it aims for, here in the UK. Her approach to hormones levels are to bring them up to a physiological levels rather than ease symptoms so ONLY in that way it would have a preventive property as when we were fertile. I can't wait to hear what you have to offer from now on....

Been waiting nearly 2 years and appointment finally this week. I tested very low from a doctor's blood test two years ago when I was referred. But I had to push to get the referal and had to suggest the blood test myself - I only knew it was a thing from people such as yourself talking about it. Another doctor at the surgery told me there wasn't enough research into it and that it "Was something that private clinics sold to make money." I have been scared of potential side effects but your video has helped reassure me. After waiting and struggling for so long I was gettting cold feet. Thank you for putting out clear information in a world where it is really hard to get it - you can see that doctors still just don't know enough about it.
