Today I’m focussing on the menopause, something that affects all women, and indirectly men, but as yet doesn’t have the recognition and knowledge that it deserves. To talk about all things menopause, I’m delighted to welcome Dr Louise Newson, menopause specialist and GP.
On this episode hear us talk about:
Louise is such a busy lady, it’s difficult to know where to start. In summary, she is anadvisor to the NHS and on the Clinical Steering Committee for NHSEI’s Menopause Improvement Programme and has also set up a not for profit company focused on research and education called Newson Health Research and education. Louise has authored the Haynes Menopause Manual, and also topped the times best seller list with her new book preparing for the perimenopause and menopause.
She is the director of Newson Health Ltd (www.newsonhealth.co.uk) She runs a menopause and wellbeing centre in Stratford-upon-Avon which is the largest menopause clinic in the world. She has developed the menopause information website www.menopausedoctor.co.uk and the free menopause app “balance” – www.balance-app.com.
Louise is the founder and a trustee for The Menopause Charity – www.themenopausecharity.orgwhich will support and empower women with evidence-based knowledge in many different ways.
She has recently launched the Confidence in the Menopause educational programme - www.fourteenfish.com/menopause/welcomeand is involved in research with colleagues in Warwick, Oxford and Liverpool Universities and London School of Tropical Medicine.
