In this conversation with Dr Louise Newson, hormone expert, best selling author and founder of the Newson Clinic, we discuss why we shouldn’t just be focussing on menopause, but more broadly, hormone imbalances.

Dr Louise Newson shares why hormonal health is more than just hot flushes, the menstrual cycle and certain life stages, and why she’s calling for greater emphasis on a whole person approach.

We also discuss the different hormonal treatments, why it can be confusing and how treatment has important implications for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and dementia. And of course, we tackle the narratives and evidence around cancer risks of taking HRT, revealing it’s far more nuanced than many people realise.

As we come to a close, Dr Louise Newson shares her insights on how midlife can impact couples, and how taking care of ourselves at this stage of life is not only crucial for us, but for those we love.

We know you’re going to love this conversation so let’s dive straight on in…

Midlife Matters is back. The episode where we chat through some of the recent headlines that matter most to us midlifers.

First up, new research reveals that the seven-year itch is now the 20-year itch. So we explore what’s changed and why so many couples are reaching their 50s and deciding they've had enough.

We also tackle new stats around midlife male suicide, menopause at work and what the latest news about stockpiling for emergencies really means for our mental health.

Plus, we've got a rather entertaining observation about testosterone, Lycra and some particularly aggressive midlife male cyclists in Regent's Park!

Money. We all need it, we all want more of it, but how many of us actually have a healthy relationship with it? 

And what if the way you spend, save or worry about money has less to do with your bank balance and more to do with your childhood, your beliefs and your emotional baggage?

In this episode we're joined by Vicky Reynal, financial psychotherapist, author of Money on Your Mind and Sunday Times columnist, to explore the psychology of money, why we avoid facing our finances, and how our relationship with money can impact everything from our self-worth to our relationships.

If you've ever felt shame about debt, spent money to make yourself feel better, or wondered why, no matter how much you earn, it never quite feels like enough, this episode is for you.

In this episode we’re joined by Sandra Parker, founder of Just The Tonic Coaching, who knows first-hand what it’s like to be a high-functioning drinker. After a successful career in finance, Sandra changed her own relationship with alcohol and now helps others take back control.

We explore why alcohol is so deeply ingrained in our culture, the emotional patterns that keep us reaching for a drink, and whether changing your relationship with alcohol has to mean giving it up altogether. We also get into the idea of indifference, getting to a place where alcohol no longer occupies your thoughts or dictates your choices. 

So, whether you’re sober curious, thinking about cutting back, or simply wondering whether alcohol is giving you as much as it’s taking away, this episode is for you.

In this episode we’ve got some really exciting news to share with you. After teasing this for what feels like forever, we can finally tell you that we’ve written a book! It’s called Couplepause and it’s coming out this November.

We wrote it because we talk so much about menopause, andropause and midlife, but one of the things that often gets overlooked is what happens to our relationships during this season of life. We’re navigating changing hormones, stress, shifting identities, intimacy and all the pressures that midlife throws at us, often without really understanding what’s going on.

We wanted to give couples practical tools to help them understand each other better, communicate more effectively and, hopefully, come out the other side feeling closer than ever.

So today, we’re going to tell you a little more about the book, why we wrote it, what’s inside, and what else we’ve got planned for Couplepause. Because this is about so much more than a book. It’s about helping couples realise that midlife doesn’t have to mean growing apart. It can be an opportunity to reconnect and have an amazing future together.
