Summary

He became a familiar face to millions on Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies and Live From The Clinic – boundary-pushing shows that challenged taboos and brought sensitive health issues into mainstream conversation.  


Behind the camera, however, consultant urological surgeon Paul Anderson has established himself as one of the UK’s most experienced urethroplasty surgeons, having performed over 2,500 procedures in the past 19 years – more thanany other surgeon in the country. Beyond his clinical practice, Paul also trains surgeons in Zambia, Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, and Pakistan, addressing a critical unmet need for reconstructive urology in resource-limited settings. 

 

In this deeply personal and candid episode, Paul joins his wife, Dr Louise Newson, to offer a rare insight into both his professional journey and their shared life together. They explore the often-overlooked impact hormones have on the health of both men and women, emphasising why recognising hormonal changes is vital to supporting physicaland mental wellbeing. 

 

Louise discusses how hormonal changes have affected her personally and influenced their family life. Together, they examine how greater awareness could help demystify hormones, not only for the public but also for healthcare professionals.
