  Only just realised in the past month I’ve been peri menopausal since I was 40 (could set your clock by my periods). I’m now 51 (less regular now) and still having symptoms of all sorts… brain fog, debilitating depression, aches, night sweats … the list goes on… I wouldn’t wish my particular experience on my worst enemy. Hell on earth. 😢 I never knew this was what was going to happen.

  You have verbalized in such plain English all the neurological issues facing women in menopause. I was not impacted with hot flashes (maybe had 2 or 3 ) BUT my worst menopausal symptoms are indeed neuro based (memory, balance (depth perception), word finding, insomnia) followed by gastrointestinal symptoms (severe constipation, bloating, etc) and crushing fatigue!  TY for all you do! You're helping women all over the world. Grateful from across the pond!

  💔 I had so many symptoms I didn’t even know were linked to menopause — until I found The Meno Reset Protocol written by Olivia Wells. I dropped 30 lbs, my skin cleared, and I felt truly alive again 💃🌿🌸

  I just had no idea all these strange things happening to me were perimenopause until last week when I had an epiphany.

  Finally someone who understands and validates all these symptoms I&apos;ve been having due to menopause.<br>If you tell someone who hasn&apos;t experienced them they don&apos;t believe you. I&apos;m so thankful that woman are speaking out about it now. Thank you so much. I just happened to be down the rabbit hole due to not being able to sleep when I &nbsp;accidentally ran across your channel. I knew in the first few minutes that you were on top of &nbsp;this crazy hormone game. I subscribed and can&apos;t wait to watch more.

  OMGoodness I could cry I am currently experiencing so many awful symptoms muscle stiffness and balance problems being the most extreme to the point that I can’t hardly walk and being a hairdresser is proving very difficult to work. It’s resulted in me having to have lots of medical investigations which I am still waiting for results. I feel like I’m going mad a lot of the time but listening to Dr Louise Newson explain the many strange symptoms of menopause it is with great comfort that I’m not alone and i will be able to function normally &nbsp;at some point. Thankyou so much.

  I have been suffering night drenching (changing my bed x2 per night) since 2018. My cognitive function and emotional state has been declining and so terrifying this year that I believed i was beginning with dementia like my gran I nursed. &nbsp;After several visits to my GP surgery over the years I was finally referred to Endocrine (hormones) at the beginning of THIS year! The young Dr I was seeing there was absolutely CLUELESS on menopause (She was horrified at me taking T) and told me I should stop ALL HRT immediately and especially the testosterone!!GRRRR.. (the game changing hormone for me!). I didn&apos;t agree but stopped it anyway as at the time it scared me. They were looking for tumours. I hadn&apos;t had a period for 2 yrs (on POP contraception!)so has diagnosed me POST MENOPAUSAL?!! I am 44. I began this journey at 36. Since being discharged I have had 2 PERIODS! this is how un educated our NHS medical profession are! Due to cognitive function and emotional state I have now lost my job and suffering anxiety and depression so badly I am scared to leave my house. &nbsp;Menopause can be devastating. &nbsp;I have refused anti depressants and instead am starting my HRT again with testosterone. I do not care what the hospital have said! It&apos;s the only thing that keeps me functioning and well! Ladies PLEASE listen to this amazing woman!<br>Thank you for your work Louise ❤ (came to watch you at Buxton).
