Understanding Hormones Was Hard Until I Learned These 3 Concepts

Dr. Louise Newson is rewriting the menopause conversation — and she’s here to show you why every man needs to understand hormone deficiency, because the women in your life are probably suffering in silence right now.

After years of women being dismissed with antidepressants and meditation advice, Louise proves that hormone replacement is as simple as taking iron supplements for deficiency.

You’ll hear why your partner’s mood changes, brain fog, and exhaustion might not be stress, how a flawed 2002 study created unnecessary fear that’s still ruining lives, and what happens when women are told their symptoms are just something to accept.

Tune in for the signs you need to watch for in partners, mothers, and daughters, why symptoms can start in their 20s and 30s, and how understanding this one thing could save your relationship — or her career.
