67 – The Power of Hormones

Ahead of the publication of her new book The Power ofHormones, Dr Louise Newson sits down with journalist and Balance editorial director Kat Keogh to explore the hidden history of hormones and why women’shealth has been misunderstood for decades.

Together, they discuss the stories and research behind the book, from the origins of HRT and hormonal contraception to the wider impact hormones have on the brain, immune system and long-term health. Louise explains why so many women are still being dismissed, misdiagnosed or prescribed treatments that fail to address the root cause of their symptoms, and whyunderstanding hormones is essential for everyone, not just women going through menopause.

The conversation (and the book) also explores medicalmisogyny, the influence of pharmaceutical marketing, the history of synthetic hormones and the urgent need for change in the way women’s health is understoodand treated.
