🎉 It’s our 100th episode and Season 4 launch of The Body Pod and we’re marking the milestone with a powerful conversation that every woman over 40 needs to hear. In this game-changing episode, Dr. Louise Newson—known as “the medic who kickstarted the menopause revolution”—joins us to debunk menopause myths, explain hormone therapy (HRT), and redefine what healthy aging looks like.

We discuss:

• Why too many women are wrongly prescribed antidepressants for perimenopause
• The essential roles of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in brain, bone, and heart health
• The real science behind HRT and who it’s for
• Why individualized, evidence-based care matters
• The dangers of medical misinformation and outdated menopause narratives

Whether you're in perimenopause, postmenopause, or just starting to ask questions, this episode offers empowering, no-nonsense insights to help you make informed health decisions.

Dr. Newson’s message is clear: No woman should suffer through menopause without support, education, and choice.
