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.
1:02.3	So I've been looking forward to this podcast for quite a long time and now it's happening.
1:06.9	So I've got with me, Dr Rob Galloway, who is an A&E consultant, ex-stand-up comedian, someone who's transformed his life and really thinking about medicine in a different way to maybe when he qualified.

1:41.0	in as many different ways as possible. And this podcast is one of those ways.
1:45.2	So I'm very excited, Rob, to introduce you to my guest today. Thank you very much for having me.
1:50.1	Goodbye to me. So can you just give a very potted history like who you are and what you do and what
1:55.6	you're doing now? So I'm Professor Rob Galloway. I'm an A&E consultant down in Brighton reasons. One, I like the
2:19.1	excitement. Anyone who knows me knows I've probably got undiagnosed ADHD, which I probably think
2:23.9	is a superpower rather than an ill. And I get bored incredibly easily. But also I had some altruistic
2:30.1	view that I wanted to help the most vulnerable in society. And it is the most vulnerable in society post-A-N-E. And so I trained as an A&E consultant, also trains an intensive
2:39.0	care consultant, and spent 13 years as a consultant working full-time for the last 24 years.
