"And so, that’s where it is really important that we are recognised, but not laughed at. I don’t want a menopause badge saying, give me attention. But there are times that having a Sunflower lanyard for a lot of women, I think, is, wow, okay, I’m acknowledging that I’m struggling."
Dr Louise Newson is a GP & Menopause Specialist and joined us to share her knowledge and expertise. Dr Newson and her team at Newson Health are at the forefront of advocating for women to get the appropriate treatment to support their hormone health. As well as investing in research and training to help healthcare practitioners make the best decisions for their patients.
We cover a wide range of questions, from perimenopause and menopause to how oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone impact the body and the importance of good hormone health to help prevent serious inflammatory disabilities later in life, such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Dr Newson also answers questions from Sunflower wearers.
