| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Dr. Louise Newsome and welcome to my podcast. I'm a GP and menopause specialist and I run the Newsome Health Menopause and Wellbeing Centre here in Stratford-Bron-Avon. I'm also the founder of the Menopause charity and the Menopause support app called Balance. |
| 0:29.9 | On the podcast, I will be joined each week by an exciting guest to help provide evidence-based |
| 0:36.5 | information and advice about both the perimenopause and the |
| 0:40.9 | menopause. |
| 0:45.8 | Today on the podcast I've got with me a guest who's also been with me before. I've got a few guests |
| 0:52.0 | now that I've interviewed more than once. This person is very |
| 0:55.7 | important to me. She's very special and I couldn't actually have done what we're going to talk |
| 1:00.9 | about without her. So her name's Kat Kio and I've known her for a few years now. So welcome Kat |

| 1:35.9 | that big a building, but all around the country, as you know. And we went to a little cafe |
| 1:40.9 | across the road from the clinic because the clinic was a building site. There's only cardboard boxes to sit in. And we sat down and I said, oh, I've got this idea writing a book |
| 1:49.9 | and I've heard that you might be able to help me. And how much do you know about the menopause |
| 1:54.5 | and perimenopause? To which you said. Nothing. No. No. I think at the time I was so i'm you know just so you know i'm a health journalist |
