Women Are Mad

Season 2, Ep. 2
•

This episode is a Women's Health Special. Our guest has brought the menopause into public conversation. Now, she's bringing it to ours. Her tireless work and dedication to women's health is awe-inspiring. But this wouldn't be Women Are Mad without asking Dr Louise Newson what makes HER angry. From medical gaslighting, to the shutdown she faces within the profession, Dr Newson shares all. As well as some great tips to listeners for managing their own hormonal health. 

Recorded in September 2023
