0:00.0	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.
0:21.6	I'm also the founder of the free Balance app.
0:25.6	Each week on my podcast, join me and my special guests where we discuss all things perimenopause
0:31.6	and menopause. We talk about the latest research, bust myths on menopause symptoms and treatments,
0:38.2	and often share moving and always inspirational personal stories.
0:43.7	This podcast is brought to you by the Newsome Health Group,
0:46.9	which has clinics across the UK dedicated to providing individualised perimenopause and menopause care for all women.
1:02.6	So today on the podcast, I've got two guests, one who works geographically close to me and one who
1:08.6	geographically doesn't work close to me. So I've got Dr. Sarah
1:11.3	Glenn, who does a lot of academic work with me in Newsome Health, and Ashley Winter, who some of

1:34.5	very close over sort of academic papers. There's not many people that salivate over academic
1:39.6	papers the way that Sarah and I do. And we're often WhatsApping to say, have you read this? Have you
1:44.1	read that? Have you read
1:44.2	that? What do you think of this study? And sometimes our conversations get quite heated if we don't
1:48.5	always agree, but I love it. I think it's absolutely great. And through your social media,
1:53.6	actually, I'm hearing a lot of your sort of academic brain, the way it's been lit up in different
1:58.1	ways. And I think, you know, it's one of the reasons we went into medicine
2:01.7	was because we've got this curiosity.
