Hello, I'm Dr Louise Newsome. I'm a GP and menopause specialist and I'm also the founder of the Neuson Health Menopause and Wellbeing Centre here in Stratford-Pon-Avon.

I'm also the founder of the free Balance app.

Each week on my podcast, join me and my special guests where we discuss all things perimenopause and menopause.

We talk about the latest research, bust myths on menopause symptoms and treatments,

and often share moving and always inspirational personal stories.

This podcast is brought to you by the Newsome Health Group, which has clinics across the UK dedicated to providing individualised perimenopause and menopause care for all women.

So today on my podcast, I'm very lucky because I have two guests, so I have two for the price of one, as it were.

And there are two ladies from America. I seem to have a little run of American guests,

which is great because the menopause doesn't just affect UK women. There's 1.2 billion menopoles

or women globally. They're in every single country, and it's going to affect all of us. So it's really

important in my mind that it's the most positive time of our lives because it lasts a lot longer

than many other things that happen to us. So I've got Jane and Sherry who have known each other

for many years who are going to just introduce themselves and then we'll talk about what they're

doing.

So welcome to the podcast.

It's very exciting to have you here, even though it's remote.

So go on then, Jane.

You go first.

Okay.

Who you are and where you come from.

Okay.

I'm Jane Hyduck.
