The Definitive Guide to the Perimenopause and Menopause covers the key facts about hormones, their importance and their effects on our bodies. It explores family histories and their effects on menopause, the complete guide to HRT, libidos, mental and physical health, how menopause affects our careers and relationships and so much more. A lot of really useful info. I wish something like this had been around when I started perimenopause about 19 years ago. Still useful if you have gone through the menopause but still having symptoms. Makes me realise how many symptoms I have and how a lot of things that make you less confident or make you think you have other health issues can all be linked to a change in your hormone levels. After her specialist training in the menopause, Dr Louise discovered she could change the lives of many menopausal women even in one short GP consultation. She found that simply prescribing the right dose of HRT could be transformative for patients. But she also understood how crucial it was to give advice about lifestyle changes too – including exercise, diet and sleep. Today marks the publication day of GP and Menopause Specialist Dr Louise Newson’s essential new book, The Definitive Guide to the Perimenopause and Menopause.

Heard about it from a colleague by chance, after expressing frustration at minimal courses for nurses, maybe more accessible to everyone 🙂 From symptoms to treatments, and taking a holistic approach to health and well-being, this book is going to take away the guesswork for those going through menopause. I want this book to transform the way we think about perimenopause and menopause and to help everyone who reads it.’ Having worked as a GP as well as opening Newson Health menopause clinic, she has built a wealth of knowledge from first-hand experience of treating perimenopausal and menopausal women. In this definitive guide, Dr Newson lays out everything women need to know to understand and reclaim their power during this stage of life: what to expect, how best to manage symptoms, and what help is available.

Dr Louise established the Newson Health Menopause and Wellbeing Centre, a specialist menopause clinic in Stratford-upon-Avon that sees thousands of patients a month – in person and remotely – with over 200 healthcare professionals and staff. Who would not want another chance in their lives when the perimenopause, i.e. when the complex female hormonal (oestrogen and testosterone) deficiency approaches? Who would not want this chance for their mum, sister, daugther, friend or colleague? The troublesome symtpoms which could involve all organs could be threatening the lives of some women, while others could remain severly disabled, finishing their working careers and unable to care for their family... Dr Louise was working as a GP when she began to suspect that many patients with menopausal symptoms were being misdiagnosed by other healthcare professionals, or ignored. That led her to train as a menopause specialist and, in time, to become the UK’s most informed and passionate advocate for helping women find the help they need. We are really excited to announce that the Confidence in the Menopause course is now available for free to any healthcare professional in the world.
