Dr Newson is the GP who changed the way this country talks about menopause. She is the founder of Newson Health and of the free balance app, a Sunday Times bestselling author, and one of the most trusted voices on women's hormones anywhere in the world. Millions of women have got the treatment they were told they didn't need because of her work, and Penny is one of them. Testosterone is still thought of as a male hormone. It isn't. It plays a real part in brain function, mood, energy and motivation, and yet women across the UK are still fighting to be prescribed it. Dr Newson explains why that happens, takes the myths apart, and sets out what has to change in menopause care. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why testosterone matters, and why it's about far more than libido. How it affects cognitive function, mood and energy levels. The biggest misconceptions about testosterone therapy, and why so many women are being denied access. What needs to change in menopause care to make testosterone available to the women who need it. We Also Discuss The frustration women feel when their symptoms are dismissed or overlooked. Why parts of the medical community are still behind on recognising testosterone's role in menopause. What you can do to advocate for better menopause treatment. Quote of the Episode &quot;I was so close to quitting medicine because my brain just wasn't working. Testosterone brought it back.&quot; Dr Louise Newson Where to Find More Books, speaking, skincare and everything else in one place at pennydee.co.uk Resources Mentioned in This Episode Dr Louise Newson's website Newson Health Balance Menopause app Special Thanks to Our Sponsors KWEENS, the latest book by Penny Dee, out now on Amazon in paperback, Kindle and Audible.
