"Menopause on the Beaches"
with Dr. Louise Newson
In October 2023, Bookoccino and Avalon Family Medical Practice welcomed GP and menopause specialist Dr Louise Newson to discuss her book, "The Definitive Guide to the Perimenopause and Menopause".
This was followed by a Q&A session with Dr Louise Newson, Dr Kelly Teagle, Menopause Advocate Julie Dutton and MC Sonya Lovell.
Dr Newson kick-started the menopause revolution in the UK. Founder of Newson Health, creator of the free "Balance" menopause support app and the "Confidence in Menopause" course for health professionals and public, she is considered a leading expert in the holistic care of women in perimenopause and menopause.
