  • 59 - Can you start HRT after 60? What the evidence shows
    2026/04/21

    So many women are denied hormone replacement because they are told they are “too old”.


    In this special solo episode, Dr Louise Newson explains why this is wrong. She covers what happens when hormone levels stay low as women age and why this long-term deficiency affects everything from cardiovascular health to bone strength and cognitive function.


    She clarifies why the WHI study created so much confusion, how its findings differ from modern body-identical HRT and what starting treatment in your 60s or beyond realistically looks like. It’s a clear, current overview for anyone told they’re “too old” for hormone therapy.

  • 57 – Bleeding on HRT: what’s normal and what’s not
    2026/04/14

    In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by consultant gynaecologist Mr Osama Naji for a reassuring and practical conversation about one of the most common concerns women have when starting HRT, bleeding.

    Together, they explain why bleeding can happen, when it is a normal response to changing hormones and when it may need further investigation. They also discuss the common causes of unscheduled bleeding, the role of scans and checks and why women should never be left feeling frightened or dismissed.

  • 55 – HRT, breast cancer and the real risks of not taking hormones
    2026/04/07

    In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by physician and author Dr Jeffrey Dach, who is the founder and Medical Director of the TrueMedMD Clinic in Florida and author of numerous books including Bioidentical Hormones 101.

    Together, Louise and Jeffrey challenge some of the biggest myths surrounding hormone treatments, including the long-standing fear around breast cancer and the lasting damage caused by the Women’s Health Initiative study.

    They discuss the important differences between body identical and synthetic hormones, and why hormones should be recognised not just for symptom relief, but also for their roles in improving long-term health.

    It’s a powerful conversation about fear, misinformation and why so many women are still being denied the hormone treatments they both need and want.
