HORMONES: Dr Nichola’s Second Opinion

In this bonus episode of Dr. Nichola’s Second Opinion, Dr. Nichola Conlon gets into the science behind the hormonal shifts that come with aging, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

She'll explain how hormones like oestrogen and progesterone impact everything from mood and sleep to skin and bone health, and why menopause isn’t just a symptom of aging—it can actually accelerate it.

She'll break down the science behind how HRT can reverse some of the effects, and shares practical lifestyle tips to help you feel better and age smarter.

Plus, your questions tackle everything from early menopause to visible aging and the real benefits of HRT.

Whether you're navigating hot flushes or just curious about aging better, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
