Claire Mellon, Gynecologist at Miss Claire Mellon and Associates interviews Louise Newson, co-founder of the Newson Health Menopause and Wellbeing Centre on how menopause it changing with longevity. We have the common goal of preventing problems rather than treating them. Women loose their hormones in menopause which can speed up the ageing process. HRT had a bad reputation in the past but has been modernized to be a viable treatment for menopause to prevent inflammation which leads to later in life illnesses.
