In this shorter, Mini Motivation episode, Amelia explores an important and often misunderstood topic: the role of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in mood-related disorders such as low mood, depression, stress, and anxiety. For many women, HRT can be not only safe but also life-changing when prescribed appropriately, yet it’s still surrounded by confusion and stigma. To unpack the latest science and clinical insights, Amelia is joined by Dr. Louise Newson, a GP, menopause specialist, and founder of the Newson Health Menopause and Wellbeing Centre in the UK. Dr. Newson is also the creator of the balance app, author of multiple bestselling books on menopause, and one of the most trusted global voices in women’s hormonal health. With a mission to ensure no woman feels dismissed or left in the dark about her hormones, Dr. Newson shares her expert perspective on the link between mood disorders, perimenopause, and the potential benefits of HRT as part of a holistic treatment plan. If you’ve ever wondered whether your mood changes might be connected to your hormones, or whether HRT could help, this episode is a must-listen.
