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.

2:04.9	science and putting those two together is quite a skill that we don't always have. But how I practice
2:11.6	medicine now is very different to 30 years ago because I've gained a lot more knowledge and
2:16.4	experience. And so I'm
2:18.8	keen to just for you to just tell the listeners a bit about your work and what you do because you've
2:24.3	got lots of skills. And I feel like me, you've got so much experience that it's now coming together
