So for World Menopause Month in October, I'm going to be coming to three theatres,

the 5th of October in Glasgow with Kay Adams, the 12th of October in Birmingham with Liz Earle

and the 19th of October in Kingston near London with Emma Barnett. I'm going to be doing a Q&A,

so these women will be questioning me, asking me about my

background, my work, and also about hormones. And the second half will be audience asking questions.

But you're really interested in me about keeping people healthy. I am. Thanks, Louise. Thanks. It's really nice to actually be here in person doing this because the first one we ran was virtual. And I'd never met you then. No, we hadn't. No. And now I feel like I'm really close to you. We've worked up for each other a lot. But lots of people think it's really weird when I talk about wanting to prevent disease rather than treat disease. And I know you're the same as me, but I'm very reflective.

And I think about when I trained as a doctor,

I learned and we learned a lot about diseases and how to treat them.

And obviously that's really important.

But the older I've got, the more I'm trying to prevent disease in people.

I say people rather than patients because

they won't be patients if we reduce diseases. And it's so important, isn't it? I couldn't agree
