  • 279: Heart health, hormones and menopause: what you need to know, with Dr Jeremy London
    Oct 22 2024

    Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women and this risk increases after the menopause, and a woman’s risk of heart attack is around five times higher after the menopause than before*.

    Joining Louise on this week’s podcast is Dr Jeremy London, a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon based in the US, to discuss heart health, hormones and menopause.

    They discuss the role of oestrogen in reducing inflammation in the body, why women typically present with different heart attack symptoms compared to men – and the signs to look out for – and the crucial role of nutrition and exercise in maintaining good heart health.

    Finally, Dr London shares his top three tips on what women (and men!) can do to help their future cardiac health:

    1. Don't smoke: it is the single worst thing you can do for your health in general. From a cardiac standpoint, from a blood vessel standpoint, for the risk of lung cancer.
    2. Nutrition: avoid processed foods and eat real, whole foods.
    3. Exercise and recovery: look to incorporate resistance training and some aerobic training, and don’t forget about recovery and prioritising sleep.

  • 278 - World Menopause Month special: common questions answered, with Dr Rebecca Lewis
    Oct 15 2024

    In a special episode to mark World Menopause Month, and ahead of World Menopause Day on 18 October, Dr Louise is joined by Dr Rebecca Lewis, co-founder of Newson Health.

    Together they cover some of the most frequently asked questions about perimenopause, menopause and HRT, including:

    • When should I expect symptoms to improve after starting HRT?
    • How long can I take HRT for?

    Plus advice on taking a holistic approach to menopause, tracking your symptoms, and talking to your healthcare professional.

    Dr Rebecca also suggests three things women and healthcare professionals should consider about hormones:

    1. Know there is a difference between older synthetic hormones and body identical, natural hormones
    2. Be aware of the health benefits of HRT
    3. The importance of shared decision making and patient-centred care.

    You can download the balance app here, and the Easy HRT prescribing guide mentioned in the episode here.

Take the power back

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 💋
