Summary
Newson Health celebrates its 100th podcast episode with the Clinical Director of Newson Health, Dr Rebecca Lewis. When Dr Louise Newson began these podcasts with the aim of reaching more women, she didn’t envisage doing more than 10 episodes, let alone 100!
In this emotional episode, Dr Lewis and Dr Newson reflect on their joint menopause mission to help women globally with the perimenopause and menopause, as they talk about how their worlds have dramatically changed from being GPs within the NHS, to owning and running the largest menopause clinic in the world.
Their joint aims for the next decade:
1. See more women getting the right treatment for their menopause. Currently, only 14% of women in the UK take HRT despite it holding benefits for many more women. The Newson Health doctors would like to see 60 - 70% of women receive this safe and effective treatment.
2. Continue to raise the profile of perimenopause and menopause, not only medically but in society - especially in the workplace.
3. Raise the profile of menopause globally; many countries don't have a word for it let alone access to treatment.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Neuson Health Menopause podcast. I'm Dr. Louise Newson, a GP and menopause |
| 0:15.8 | specialist and I'm also the founder of the Menopause charity. In addition, I run the Newston Health |
| 0:22.5 | Menopause and Well-Being Clinic here in Stratford-upon-Avon. Today I'm very excited because |
| 0:33.3 | this is very special occasion for me. This is the 100th podcast episode. And I set up |
| 0:39.9 | the podcast just to really try and reach more women. And I never thought I would be going more than 10, |
| 0:44.5 | let alone 100. So on our special anniversary of the 100th podcast, I'm very delighted to be |
| 0:51.5 | inviting back to podcast studio, Rebecca Lewis, who is a clinical director |
| 0:56.8 | with me at Neuston Health. She's also director of our free app balance, and she's also director |
| 1:03.2 | of Neuston Health Research Education. And above all, actually, she's a really good friend and |
| 1:07.9 | mentor and companion to me. So thanks for coming today, Rebecca. |
| 1:12.1 | Oh, thank you. |
| 1:13.0 | No, it's lovely being here and wonderful to be for the hundredth. |
| 1:15.9 | Isn't that amazing? |
| 1:16.8 | Hello. |
| 1:17.6 | So I thought we would just have this as a bit of an informal two-way chat |
| 1:21.2 | because obviously I quiz and question lots of people all the time |
| 1:25.4 | and I thought it's quite nice. |
| 1:27.3 | Maybe for people to hear |
| 1:29.0 | why we do what we do because neither of us set out when we were at medical school, if someone |
| 1:34.8 | has said to us, right guys, in 25 years time, the two of you will be running probably the |
| 1:40.5 | world's biggest menopause centre. I would have just gone, don't be ridiculous? |
| 1:44.9 | No way. No way. I wouldn't have thought that at all. Private medicine. No, absolutely not. |
