    74 – The case for hormones: choice, health and longevity
    Jun 11 2026

    For decades, women have been told to fear hormones. But what if understanding them is one of the most important steps you can take for your current and future health?

    In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by South African GP and functional medicine specialist Dr Mary Atkinson to discuss the vital role hormones play throughout the body and why women deserve better information to make informed choices about their health.

    Drawing on both her professional expertise and personal experience, Mary explains how hormones influence everything from brain function and bone health to cardiovascular health, inflammation and healthy ageing. Together, Louise and Mary explore the growing evidence around hormone treatments and disease prevention, discuss the importance of individualised care, and examine why so many women still struggle to access accurate information and appropriate treatment.

    Jun 9 2026

    So many women are wrongly told they need to stop takinghormone treatments when they reach a certain age, yet there is noevidence-based age limit for natural hormone treatments.

Paula has been taking hormone treatments for 33 yearsand is still benefiting from them at the age of 77. Paula shares why she chose to continue hormone treatments through the fallout of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study, the difference hormones have made to her life, and whyshe has no intention of stopping.

    Together, Louise and Paula discuss the misconceptionssurrounding hormone treatments in later life, why so many women are still being denied hormone treatments because of their age, and the importance of individualised care and treatments rather than arbitrary cut-offs.

    Whether you’re already taking hormone treatments, wonderingif you should continue, or have been told you’re “too old” to start, thisepisode will give you the information and confidence to have informedconversations and make the choices that are right for you.

  • 72 – ADHD in women: the hidden role of hormones

    72 – ADHD in women: the hidden role of hormones
    Jun 4 2026

    Why are so many women only discovering they have ADHD during perimenopause?

    In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by wellbeing coach, author and host of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate Moryoussef, for an important conversation about ADHD in women and the often overlooked role hormones can play.

    Kate shares how she was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 40 after recognising the same struggles in her daughter during homeschooling. Together, Louise and Kate explore why ADHD can present differently in women, how symptoms are often missed for years, and why hormonal changes during puberty, postnatal years and perimenopause can make symptoms significantly worse.

    The conversation highlights the importance of looking beyond labels, understanding the whole person and empowering women with better information so they can advocate for the support they deserve.

I do not understand why these do not have millions of reviews these podcasts are so education and actually help women feel we are in control of bodies and that we can go to the GP and exercise our right to feel good. I wish all women would listen so we know what we can expect by educating ourselves. Thanks to women like DR Newson 💋
