For many, menopause is the moment ADHD becomes impossible to
ignore - and too often, it’s still misunderstood.Today’s guest is
the remarkable Dr Louise Newson - GP turned pioneering menopause
specialist and founder of the internationally renowned Balance
app and Newson Health Menopause & Wellbeing Centre.


A trailblazer in women’s health, Louise has transformed how we
understand hormones, with her work reaching millions. As a
neurodivergent woman and mother to ND daughters, she offers a
rare and powerful blend of clinical authority and personal
insight.


In this chat with Ben, they explore how hormonal changes can
unmask ADHD traits, why women are so frequently misdiagnosed, and
why the current approach to menopause has become, in Dr Newson’s
words, “the biggest car crash in women’s health.”
