The Dr Louise Newson Podcast

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Professor Mary Ryan, Consultant Endocrinologist, Adjunct Associate Professor at Trinity College Dublin and author of It’s Probably Your Hormones. 
Together, they explore why hormones are far more than just “reproductive messengers”, and how they influence almost every system in the body, including the brain, immune system, metabolism, bones and cardiovascular health. 
The conversation moves through perimenopause, menopause, autoimmune disease, thyroid conditions, PCOS, endometriosis and fertility, highlighting how hormone imbalance is often overlooked or misunderstood in both research and clinical practice.  
This episode is a reminder that when we understand hormones properly, we don’t just treat symptoms. We change long-term health, quality of life and outcomes for women, as well as for society as a whole.

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Professor Robert Lufkin, physician, medical school professor and author, to explore how inflammation and metabolic dysfunction lie at the heart of many of today’s chronic diseases.

They discuss why conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia and mental illness are often treated as separate problems, when in reality they share the same inflammatory and metabolic origins. 

The conversation also looks at the central role of hormones in regulating inflammation, mitochondrial function and long-term health, and why progesterone, estradiol and testosterone may be among the most powerful disease-modifying treatments we already have.

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by urologist and sexual medicine specialist Prof Mohit Khera to talk about testosterone in women and why it remains one of the most misunderstood and underused hormones in medicine.
They explore how sexual dysfunction is rarely an individual problem, why treating only one partner can create new difficulties, and why testosterone should be seen as part of a three-hormone foundation alongside estradiol and progesterone.
Crucially, this conversation goes far beyond libido. This is a powerful discussion about a hormone women make naturally, the wide-ranging health benefits it offers, and why being scared to replace it is often doing more harm than good.

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined once again by journalist, author and friend Kate Muir to reflect on where the menopause conversation really stands. 
From the science behind body-identical hormones to the deep frustrations of outdated medical thinking, this is a wide-ranging conversation about what women are still being denied, why fear continues to shape healthcare and what happens when evidence is ignored. Dr Louise and Kate talk honestly about the backlash following a BBC Panorama programme featuring Dr Louise’s clinic, the real-world consequences for women who’ve been taken off treatment and the emotional toll of being publicly challenged for speaking up. 
They also explore why hormones matter far beyond symptom relief, touching on brain health, sleep, ageing and long-term disease prevention.

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Jain monks and filmmakers Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti to discuss their new docuseries, Balance, which follows their personal experiences of perimenopause and exposes how women’s hormonal health has been overlooked for generations.
As the only UK doctor featured in the series, Louise reflects on why these stories matter, the injustices women still face in being believed and treated, and why she founded the Balance app, a free, evidence-based resource created because women deserve better information and care.
This is a conversation about being heard, understanding your hormones, and having the confidence to advocate for the health you need and deserve.
