Thursday, 25 June, 2026
Why are so many women being told their symptoms are anxiety, stress or depression when hormones may be the real cause? In this episode of Hot Mess Mums Club, we’re joined by Dr Holly Carding, GP and hormone health clinician at Newson Clinic, to discuss the realities of perimenopause, menopause and women's hormone health. Dr Holly explains why symptoms such as anxiety, brain fog, low mood, poor sleep, palpitations and even tinnitus are often overlooked, how hormone changes can affect every aspect of a woman's life, and why better education is needed for both patients and healthcare professionals. We also discuss HRT, common misconceptions around hormone treatment, the impact of menopause on careers and relationships, and how women can advocate for themselves when seeking support. In this episode: The most common menopause and perimenopause symptoms Why mental health symptoms are often linked to hormone changes The dangers of misinformation on social media How hormones affect work, relationships and confidence When lifestyle changes may not be enough The role of HRT and hormone optimisation Resources women can use to better understand their symptoms A practical and empowering conversation for any woman wanting to better understand her body and hormone health.
