HRT is a complete life saver. It’s changed my life for sure. Thank you Louise for sharing your expertise. So long I was told it’s anxiety and depression and as a psychotherapist I knew this wasn’t the case. I was left to my own devices for 6 years and told by a male doctor that because of my blood results I wasn’t in menopause. I was in peri-menopause. Thank goodness that has changed. I’ve since talked to a good GP and two wonderful sympathetic female pharmacists who continue to help me monitor my symptoms and HRT. Times have changed.

Watching this has just given me hope, I could cry! I have been told for so long its anxiety & depression and had anti depressants handed to me yet still felt hollow, confused & frustrated because it just didnt feel right - this 29 minute video has just covered everything I have felt and experienced! On Friday my GP finally prescribed HRT patches & I now have hope after watching this that I can & will find “me” again 🙌🏼 thank you so much 🥰

Came from davina, I was on HRT for 3 yrs and beause my mum had breast cancer, I felt like I was pushing my luck, discussed it with my g p and he said that I was more at risk, I'm thinking of going back on it, thank you

I haven't yet watched all of this as I have seen a lot of Newson's content, which is fab. I just wanted to say, three years on, and despite Dr Newson's excellent work in extensive studying and gathering and disseminating knowledge in a way that is easy to understand, the culture around menopause is still backwards, and she is a trailblazer and I love the way she tirelessly works to change this culture.

That is literally the most informative 29 or so minutes I have ever seen on youtube. Gives me hope for myself. Thank you XXX

Most GPs are very difficult to deal with and get HRT.

Excellent video. I live in America and it's unbelievable how few doctors know anything about menopause. I'm 52 and started going through menopause around 40. I now have osteoporosis. My GP never recommended a bone density test even though both parents have osteo and my sister has osteopenia. Crazy. Then when my back was continuing to hurt for 2 years even after doing physical therapy (which was making it hurt worse), I asked for the test. It showed that I had it. I'm so disappointed with the lack of knowledge from the doctors. The orthopedist said that he didn't know much about menopause and bones. What???? I'm now changing doctors, but finding one that knows anything about menopause has been very difficult.

God bless you for this important information. I've been suffering from menopause for over ten years just started on hrt today after spending thousands of pounds on alternative hrt which doesn't work. You really encouraged me, you're a star. Menopause is a serious disease which must be given adequate attention to by the govt.

thankyou...i wish Dr Louise Newson was my doctor

[patriciacaffrey]

Thank you so much for all your valuable information and understanding on the effects that menopause is having on most women. You have given me hope and belief that I will get through this. I started HRT 10 weeks ago at age 60 . I had to go private as my GP of 25 years scoffed at my symptoms saying what do you expect it's menopause just as you described she put me on xanax and lexapro for my crippling anxiety and the fact that I couldn't stop crying. I thought I was going mad. Then Thank god you were recommended to me and I was told." Just listen to Louise's video's " and for the first time in year's I have light at the end of a very very dark tunnel. Thank you Dr Louise Newton. 🙏

Hi all, a lot more needs to be done to bring this life changing cycle for you ladies and also men, my partner is going through the peri menopause she was 48 when she started the menopause and I am a guy who is neatly 47 and I to am having hot flushes, night sweats forgetting things etc etc I’ve had tests done and they have said i have low vitamin D deficiency, I believe I am also going through the male menopause called Andropause, the reason for my post is i’m so greatful for the 2 books Menopause the books for men and men let’s talk menopause, I brought these books as they were recommended by a ladies menopause group just so I as a guy could understand what my partner is going through. I am also greatful to Davina McCall for making the Sex, Myths and Menopause documentary 🙏🙏🙏🙏
