Without all the information on this app I’m not sure where I would be today, the menopause was so crippling for me that I couldn’t work, the anxiety and panic attacks were horrific. The app had all the information I needed to understand what was happening with my body and to know I wasn’t alone was priceless so many women in my position with positive feedback was brilliant. Dr Louise Newson keep up the good work it’s amazing
As a GP and a woman, I will be recommending this amazing new app to patients and friends alike. Evidence based, extremely easy to use, FREE!! All this information accessible from the palm of your hand. I’m not sure enough praise can be made for Dr Louise Newson for the much need light she is shining on everything menopause.
This is a fantastic app that has provided me with the knowledge and confidence to understand my body as I journey through my menopause, which I would neverhave found otherwise. It also opens the door to a community where experiences are shared. I am very grateful to Dr Louise Newson, not only this app but also for her brilliant weekly podcasts and Menopause book. A great education.
Used the app and tracker, went to my GP armed with knowledge from the website and app. I’m 54 this year, had no idea about menopausal symptoms and have been suffering in silence. Luckily found out my GP has a specialist menopause nurse, had the best discussion with her. She suggested exactly what I had read about and thought I needed. Had my Mirena coil fitted today and start my patches Monday. Absolutely great advice and help.
The 'Newson Health Balance App' and 'My Menopause Doctor' resources are very useful for me as a GP working under time pressure. It enables women to access reliable information that I wouldn't be able to give in a short time period. I direct many women to these resources, and they describe feeling so much more confident with their decisions towards HRT after using them.
After being taken by surprise by my own menopause experience, I was shocked at the lack of support and evidence-based information available about the perimenopause and menopause.
Aiming to change the way people receive information about this time in their lives, I set up My Menopause Doctor
I still felt there was so much to do. I want to make sure we continue to help people across the world, and that's where balance comes in. We're here to make sure that the menopause is an opportunity, not an ending.
