- This week Dr Louise is joined by sprinter Desirèe Henry who is representing Team GB at the Paris Olympics this year.
Desirèe is no stranger to the Olympics - she was one of seven young athletes who lit the Olympic caldron at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Games, plus she took home a bronze medal in the 4 X 100m relay at the 2016 Rio Games.
And she’ll be heading to Paris on a high after being part of Team GB’s gold medal-winning women’s 4x100m relay team at the European Athletics Championships in Rome in June.
Desirèe talks about the challenges of competing throughout the menstrual cycle and coping with heavy periods, plus the importance of talking openly about these issues, maintaining a healthy weight and body positivity.
Finally, Desirèe shares three tips to help you lead a happier and healthier life:
1. Set one goal every day. It doesn’t have to be anything big, it could be drinking water or having a piece of fruit every day, but it's something that will add up over the week and benefit your lifestyle in a positive way.
2. Try to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle. It could be watching a UA-cam yoga video or anything that just allows your body to move, that increases blood flow around the body and helps you get in some extra stretching.
3. Check in on other people more often. Just find out how they are and show them that somebody cares - you’ll be appreciated.

Hello Dr. Newson, could you please make a video regarding cyclical HRT for post menopausal women, how does this work? When is it recommended? Advantages and disadvantages. For reference: I am 55, on continuous HRT, and live in the USA. Thank you for your advocacy. It is really needed!
Good luck Desiree! 🍀😊xx
I cannot find an answer to this : what hormones are you all taking ? What are the safe ones? What are the new ones that are good, how can we take them ? Patch , gel , spray ? What make are they what do we look for how do we get the right ones ?
Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m 55 old with no uterus taking 200mg estradiol patch and 200mg of progesterone pills and I’m fighting for having some testosterone!!!
Is it too much?
I’m taking 100mg of progestin and 0.075 estrogen is this safe?
... is it micronized .progesterone or a synthetic progeSTIN?
The bodyidentical modern horrmones Dr. Newson prescribes are safe 💪
