Dr Louise Newson: “Eat Fruit and Pray?” No

This week on Shut Up and Ride, we’re joined by the incredible Dr Louise Newson, one of the UK’s leading voices on women’s hormone health.

From PMDD to perimenopause, menopause and everything in between, Dr Newson breaks down what’s really happening in our bodies — and why so many women are still being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left to struggle in silence.

At one point, we discuss the kind of advice women are still being given — including being told to “eat fruit and pray.” Yes, really. And we talk about why that simply isn’t good enough when it comes to serious hormonal and mental health symptoms.

We dive into the mental health impact of hormone imbalance, including anxiety, depression and suicide risk, and the life-changing health benefits of getting the right support and treatment.

We also put your questions directly to her — like why can’t women easily access testosterone? and how do we actually get our GP to listen to us?

Jenny bravely shares parts of her own journey in the hope it helps others feel less alone and more empowered to advocate for themselves.

And it’s not just for women. Ben gets involved to represent the men, asking the questions partners, husbands and friends often don’t know how to ask — because understanding hormones isn’t just a “women’s issue,” it’s a family issue.

Honest, eye-opening and empowering — this is a conversation everyone needs to hear.
