Becoming a mother is often described as the happiest time in a woman’s life. But for many, it can also be the hardest.In this week’s episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined byMotherhood Coach, Maternal Mental Wellbeing expert and Founder of Mind Mommy Coaching, Laura Guckian, who shares her deeply personal story of severe postnatal mental health difficulties that led her to admit herself to a psychiatric hospital when her son was just 10 months old. Years later, she was diagnosed with autism and ADHD, helping her make sense ofexperiences that had never fully been explained.Together, Louise and Laura explore why hormonal changes after pregnancy can have such profound effects on the brain, particularly for neurodivergent women, and why hormones are so often overlooked in conversations about maternal mental health. They discuss the limitations of labels such as postnatal depression, why antidepressants don’t address the underlying cause for every woman and how understanding progesterone, testosterone and estradiol may transform the way we support mothers.This is an important conversation about feeling unseen, finding answers and why every woman deserves healthcare that looks beyond symptoms to understand what’s really happening.LET'S CONNECT👉 Subscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@menopause_doctor?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/menopause_doctor/?hl=en&utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drlouisenewson/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@drlouisenewson?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7dCctfyI9bODGDaFnjfKhg?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+LEARN MORE👉 Download mybalance apphttps://balance-app.com/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Order my new bookhttps://bio.to/ThePowerofHormones?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Speak to NewsonClinichttps://www.newsonhealth.co.uk/?utm_source=louise_podcast&utm_medium=show_notes&utm_campaign=clinic_cross_promotion👉 Visit my websitehttps://www.drlouisenewson.co.uk/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+
Hormone treatments are often seen as a treatment to help with symptoms, but many clinicians still do not understand how they can improve our future health too.This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by physician, endocrinologist and longevity expert Dr Florence Comite to explore why balancing hormones is about far more than managing symptoms. Together they discuss how hormones influence every organ in the body, why healthcare should focus more on preventing diseases than treating them and why personalised medicine is key to helping people live healthier for longer.Florence explains why the hormones estradiol, progesterone and testosterone are so important for brain, heart, bone and muscle health, why testosterone starts declining long before menopause, and how understanding an individual’s unique biology can transform the way we approach ageing.Together, Louise and Florence discuss:Why balancing hormones can reduce the risk of future diseaseThe differences between bioidentical and synthetic hormone treatmentsWhy testosterone is important throughout a woman’s life, not just after menopauseThe lasting negative impacts of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) studyWhy prevention and precision medicine should be the future of healthcare.This conversation challenges the traditional approach to medicine and offers a powerful reminder that optimising hormones isn’t just about feeling better today, it’s about investing in your long-term health.LET'S CONNECT👉 Subscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@menopause_doctor?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/menopause_doctor/?hl=en&utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drlouisenewson/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@drlouisenewson?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7dCctfyI9bODGDaFnjfKhg?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+LEARN MORE👉 Download mybalance apphttps://balance-app.com/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Order my new bookhttps://bio.to/ThePowerofHormones?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Speak to Newson Clinic

Together they discuss the powerful connection between the mind and body, why self-compassion is backed by growing scientific evidence, and how our thoughts can influence everything from the food choices we make to the way our bodies respond to stress.Sarah shares her own remarkable journey from international model to being critically ill in her twenties, an experience that completely changed how she viewed health. She explains why understanding her mind became just as important as understanding nutrition, and why sustainable health starts with kindness rather than perfection.Together, Louise and Sarah discuss:why mindset and physical health are inseparablethe science behind self-compassion and why it isn’t self-indulgencehow chronic stress and negative self-talk can affect our healthwhy the wellness industry has become so overwhelmingsimple, practical ways to build healthier habits that last.This conversation is a refreshing reminder that good health doesn’t have to come from doing more.

We’re losing experienced, talented women from the workforce because hormonal symptoms are still being overlooked, misunderstood and too often left untreated.In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Dr Mecky McNeil, a former GP and health educator who is leading work to improve understanding of hormones and menopause in workplaces across Europe. Having trained together at medical school, Louise and Mecky reflect on how generations of doctors were left without the confidence to prescribe hormone replacement therapy following the publication of the Women’s Health Initiative study, and the lasting consequences this has had for women.They explore why the most common hormone-related symptoms affecting work are often not hot flushes, but brain fog, poor concentration, anxiety, fatigue and loss of confidence. They also discuss the growing number of women reducing their hours, changing careers or leaving the workforce altogether because their symptoms are unrecognised or untreated, despite effective treatments being available for many.The conversation highlights why improving hormone education isn’t just about individual health. It’s about protecting careers, families, workplaces and the wider economy.

What’s the difference between natural and synthetic hormone treatments, and why does it matter?In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by pharmacist and hormone expert Sara Hover, who has spent more than 30 years helping women understand hormone health. Together, they explore one of the most misunderstood topics in medicine: why natural, bioidentical hormone treatments are fundamentally different from synthetic hormone treatments, despite often being grouped together.Louise and Sarah discuss how small changes in a hormone’s chemical structure have very different effects throughout the body, why synthetic hormone treatments shouldn’t be considered interchangeable with natural, bioidentical hormone treatments, and how decades of confusion have influenced the way hormone treatments are prescribed and researched.They also explore why personalised hormone treatment is so important, the limitations of relying on blood tests alone and why conversations about hormones shouldn’t begin and end with menopause.LET'S CONNECT👉 Subscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@menopause_doctor?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/menopause_doctor/?hl=en&utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drlouisenewson/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@drlouisenewson?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7dCctfyI9bODGDaFnjfKhg?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+LEARN MORE👉 Download mybalance apphttps://balance-app.com/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Order my new bookhttps://bio.to/ThePowerofHormones?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+👉 Speak to Newson Clinichttps://www.newsonhealth.co.uk/?utm_source=louise_podcast&utm_medium=show_notes&utm_campaign=clinic_cross_promotion👉 Visit my websitehttps://www.drlouisenewson.co.uk/?utm_source=DLNpodcast+&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=BAU+
