Perimenopause can have hugely negative impacts on relationships, yet so many couples have no idea that changing hormones could be playing a role as they can have so many affects on mental health.
This is one of the things @matthyams captures so brilliantly in his videos. Through humour, he highlights the reality of living with symptoms such as rage, anxiety, sensory overload and irritability for both sexes, and it’s refreshing to speak and share this so openly.
Many women tell me in my @newson.health clinic when they feel better taking the right dose and type of hormones for them then their relationships really improve too.
In this week’s podcast episode, we have a really honest conversation about perimenopause, relationships and why feeling seen and understood can be so powerful. It’s live now so listen via the link in our bio 🎙️

![Why Angela Rippon sees dance as a superpower
This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by the inspirational Angela Rippon, whose remarkable career in television and journalism spans nearly six decades. From breaking barriers as one of the first female newsreaders on British TV to her more recent appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, Angela reflects on the evolution of her work and the deep personal passion that drives her today: getting the nation moving.
In this uplifting episode, Louise and Angela explore how dance and movement can be powerful tools for supporting long-term health and wellbeing. Angela shares the inspiration behind her Let’s Dance! initiative and explains why she believes dance is a ‘superpower’ – capable of improving physical health, mental wellbeing, and social connection at every stage of life.
From using dance in schools to helping people with Parkinson’s [took out the regaining control of bodies as could be misconstrued as dance being curative], Angela makes a compelling case for why dance should be seen as an investment in our ‘wellbeing pension plan’. Whether youre eight or 80, this conversation will inspire you to see dance not just as exercise, but as joy, connection, and a key to ageing well. As Angela says: ‘My ambition is to die young – as late as possible.’
