    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.

    If it wasn't for remarkable woman like you 2 also Sonia Lovell for her "Dear menopause" podcast I would have been "none the wiser" on the very useful and informative knowledge that you women share through your knowledge of Menopause and how many of women do suffer uncomfortably when starting and beyond the "menopausal years.
    I have most definitely been through a roller coaster of termal, heart ache, physical and emotional stress due to hormonal imbalance for the past 10 years, until 2 years ago when a female doctor, who was also going through menopause prescribed me MRT because she had a better understanding of what I was going through.And I have more confidence and control over my life now.
    Thank you and namaste to you remarkable women.

    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! 💕

      Im 40 also and started perimenopause last year marked by a UTI when I have never had one in my life and am celibate and I had another one this year. No gyno would admit to me that I was in perimenopause so I spent over a year not understanding I need Estrogen cream on urethra,for the tissues down there. Only around the time I read this dr’s book, You are not broken and started The New Menopause book which referred me to midi health and finally that NP diagnosed me perimenopause. My other symptom is sleep disturbance as well, which started a couple years ago marked by heightened anxiety which can be another sign. All that to say, I empathize with you and would like to share what helps me, Im deciding not to do the HRT at this time. I am trying Anna’s wild yam cream as Barbara O’neil explains this is a natural way to balance your hormones. i go to sleep at the same time, 930ish every night. Get yourself into a routine. Coffee or tea in the early morning, 1 cup but no more throughout the day. Add an adaptogen Adrenamed from Numedica and Magnesium Glycinate 2 caps a night. It doesnt work every night but there are nights i sleep 6-7hrs straight which is great for me! Another thing you can do is eat foods that have precursor to melatonin like a banana.
      The midi appointment NP told me I could try Cortisol Manager which has Lthianine and Ashwaganda. I bought Menomedica from Numedica too but havent tried it yet.

    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.
