  Aug 17, 202652 min

  Dr Louise Newson challenges the belief that HRT automatically increases breast cancer risk—and explains why the type of hormone, the dose, and the individual woman all matter. She discusses: What the famous 2002 study actually found Why estrogen-only and combined HRT can have different risks Why some women need higher doses because they do not absorb patches or gels properly Why menopause symptoms can include joint pain, palpitations, insomnia, low mood and brain fog Why women are still being prescribed antidepressants instead of hormones The difference between progesterone and synthetic progestogens Why a blood test may not tell the whole story Whether HRT can protect future bone and heart health This is a frank conversation about medical misinformation, women being dismissed, and why “one dose fits all” medicine may be failing women.

  Why Is My Hair Falling Out? Trichologist Annabel Kingsley on What Really Works

  Jul 27, 202645 min

  Noticing more hair in your brush, a thinner ponytail or widening around your parting? Hair loss can be frightening – but understanding what’s causing it is the first step towards tackling it.  In this episode of Just As Well Claire Sanderson and Gemma Atkinson are joined by leading trichologist Annabel Kingsley to explain why women experience hair loss during postpartum, perimenopause and menopause – and how stress, rapid weight loss, GLP-1 medication and low iron levels can also trigger shedding.  Annabel reveals how to tell normal shedding from a potential problem, when hair loss may be reversible and when to seek expert help. She also shares the changes that can support healthier hair growth, from getting enough protein and carbohydrates to looking after your scalp properly.  Plus, she separates fact from fiction on collagen, biotin, red-light therapy, minoxidil and expensive hair products – and explains why taking supplements without a blood test could make matters worse.  If you’re worried about hair loss, this practical and reassuring episode will help you understand what’s happening – and what to do next.  Learn more about your ad choices.
