Hello, I'm Dr Louise Newsome. I'm a GP and menopause specialist, and I'm also the founder of the Newsome Health Menopause and wellbeing centre here in Stratford-Pon-Avon.

I'm also the founder of the free Balance app.

Each week on my podcast, join me and my special guests where we discuss all things perimenopause

and menopause. We talk about the latest research, bust myths on menopause symptoms and treatments,

and often share moving and always inspirational personal stories.

This podcast is brought to you by the Newsome Health Group,

which has clinics across the UK dedicated to providing individualised perimenopause and menopause care for all women.

Today on the podcast, I'm meeting and talking to someone who I have met in real life before,

which is quite unusual for some podcasts.

But Levina is somebody who just

seems to be everywhere. Wherever I go, she seems to be there and always looking very glamorous

and very beautiful. And most recently we were together at the Carfest, Chris Evans' amazing Carfest,

and I'd turn up the night before with my children and I had on my Petagonia bright pink camping waterproof

and she was there with this glamorous bear thinking, oh my God, I just feel inadequate because

she's so gorgeous. So seeing her the next day, I wasn't wearing my Petagonia, bright pink

waterproof, but it's still lovely and what Lovina is doing is just allowing people

to think about movement, exercise, just getting off the sofa a bit, having a little bit of

a movement fix as opposed to a huge workout, which is so intimidating people don't want to do.

So I'm really excited and privileged that she's here today in the studio.

So thanks for joining me today, Nevina. Oh, it's my privilege. So thank you so much for having me,

Louise. And you always look wonderful. You're always smiling and so friendly. It was amazing to meet

your family today, right? Oh, yeah, I didn't meet all of them, but it was still lovely that they were there, really special.
