86 – Why so many women stop feeling like themselves Elinor Wilde

Many women suddenly start feeling anxious, overwhelmed or unlike themselves during times of hormonal change. They often assume they’re no longer coping or are told it’s simply stress, depression or the pressures of everyday life, while the role of changing hormones is never considered.In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by therapist and executive coach Elinor Wilde to explore the often-overlooked relationship between hormones and mental health. Together, they discuss why so many women fail to recognise the signs of perimenopause, how hormonal symptoms can be mistaken for psychological illness or burnout and the lasting impact this can have on confidence, relationships and sense of self.Whether you’ve been wondering why you no longer feel like yourself, are supporting someone who is struggling or want to better understand the connection between hormones and mental wellbeing, this episode offers reassurance, practical advice and hope.If you are struggling with your mental health during times of hormonal change, you may want to contact Newson Clinic to discuss how hormone treatments may help you. Many women are also referred on to Elinor for therapy where required.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 my balance 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+
