Dr. Louise Newson should win a Nobel Peace Prize for all she is doing for womankind. Her research and tactful delivery of solid evidence based scientific material (that the medical community and all women need to be made aware of) are truly superb. Thank you so much Dr. Newson for your dedication to improving health outcomes for women worldwide. You are appreciated greatly!

Thank you so much for what you do!!! Sincerely I appreciate your information so wholeheartedly! Since watching your videos, combined with my own research, I have been able to advocate for myself with my own doctors and help educate them regarding what I have learned. My health has improved significantly over the last 2 years and I just started testosterone so I hope that my wellness journey continues to improve. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

In the US, we have clinics that use a testosterone pellet where the dose is prepared for women. They also can do cream. Usually can’t get it from GP or OBGYN. Have to pay out of pocket.

Wonderful presentation, thank you!! One day, it will be you shown on slides in a medical history lesson ❤️. What you’ve achieved in women’s health is truly remarkable and can’t thank you enough. I know it’s a bit weird to say this but, i really do love you!

I was lucky to get an apt with a menopause Dr. I am happy to use the men’s. I got 3 months worth to try . I also managed to get bio identical HRT before this ❤❤

After fifteen years post hysterectomy and experiencing every symptom on the list you described (hell) i finally have been able to get HRT (Divigel and testosterone cream from a compounding pharmacy). I’m angry it took so long to live healthy again and feel like the damage is done but better late than never to enjoy some life left and my grand children, husband, and love life again. It’s an absolute tragedy women have been treated as second class citizens to men. I’m so glad that women are now doctors and scientists in greater numbers because that’s what it took. The internet as well I credit for allowing women to share their horror stories and highlight this so we can all live a quality life. Thank you so much for your contribution to womankind. We are after all, one half the population of the earth and give birth to the other half.

Thank you SO much for all you are doing to help women Louise. Please can I ask, are all the GPs in your clinics fully up to date with all your research?

I just got some testosterone cream today! I'm so excited to see what happens. :)

Wonderful presentation, thank you for illuminating your knowledge on this important subject. I have also been looking at Dr. Rebecca Glaser's work, who claims estrodial cream coupled with testosterone might be considered before going on oral or hrt systemically delivered through the liver.

My sleep anxiety come back again!!
It's crippling and debilitating I feel a overwhelming intense heat on my face, feel I can't breathe!
I've changed my hrt from patch to a gel as I wasn't absorbing well, my mireena coil is misplaced and awaiting for an op to remove it, I've been waiting for a year on the nhs!!!
I've been suggested to take utragestran 100mg, I'm to scared to take it by mouth as I'm progesterone intolerance as I've always suffered from pms .
So I've been using utragestran every other night vaginally, I get sore breasts and my anxiety come back worse than every😢
I feel lost with this debilitating SLEEP ANXIETY!❤
