74 – The case for hormones: choice, health and longevity

For decades, women have been told to fear hormones. But what if understanding them is one of the most important steps you can take for your current and future health?

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by South African GP and functional medicine specialist Dr Mary Atkinson to discuss the vital role hormones play throughout the body and why women deserve better information to make informed choices about their health.

Drawing on both her professional expertise and personal experience, Mary explains how hormones influence everything from brain function and bone health to cardiovascular health, inflammation and healthy ageing. Together, Louise and Mary explore the growing evidence around hormone treatments and disease prevention, discuss the importance of individualised care, and examine why so many women still struggle to access accurate information and appropriate treatment.
