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.
1:02.5	On the podcast today, I've got two lovely GPs with me who both work in Singapore.
1:07.5	So Tash and June worked together.
1:09.9	I went to Singapore last year, but didn't know
1:12.8	them then, unfortunately. So it means we're going to have to reconnect and go back to Singapore.
1:17.8	But when I was in Singapore, for those of you that know, it's a great city, everything works. It's

1:29.2	around and seeing all these menopause or women. We were seeing people and we were seeing less women
1:35.0	out in the streets in their 40s, 50s, 60s, certainly some. We went to Little India. We went to
1:42.7	Chinatown. It was really apparent that there is a
1:45.2	difference over there. And so I was really delighted when I spoke to Tash, who comes over to the
1:50.3	UK and still works over here as a GP. So very excited to have you both on the podcast, to hear more
1:56.5	about your work in Singapore. So welcome. Thank you. Thank you so much, Louise. So Tash, do you want to go first?
2:03.0	Just say a little bit about what's taking you to Singapore, because I know you're not from Singapore initially.
2:08.3	Sure. So I'm actually a London NHS doctor, GP. And I moved to Singapore a couple of years ago,
2:15.8	really from a family point of view to be closer to family who have now retired and moved to Sri Lanka, which is where I was born, and then grew up in the UK.
