Many women wrongly think or are told that they can’t tolerate progesterone. But have they actually been prescribed natural, bioidentical progesterone, or have they had side effects from synthetic progestogens? There is a huge difference and synthetic progestogens in contracptives can actually block the actions of progesterone working in the body.

In this week’s podcast, Jenny shares how nervous she was to try bioidentical progesterone after years of believing it would make her symptoms worse, but the reality was it was life changing for her.

It’s an important reminder that progesterone and synthetic progestogens are not the same, and that all hormones - including progesterone - still usually matter to the body and brain after a hysterectomy.
Just because a result is marked normal, it doesn’t always mean that hormone level actually is normal.

Hormone tests can provide useful information, but they are only a snapshot in time. Hormone levels change, and the results always need to be interpreted in the context of your symptoms and medical history.

In this clip, Dr Saira Hameed explains why hormone testing is often far more nuanced than people realise, and why understanding the person behind the result is just as important as understanding the numbers themselves.

Many doctors think that removing ovaries will remove hormones in women, but they do not realise that the hormones progesterone, estradiol and testosterone are also made in the brain, adrenal glands and other organs.

Removing ovaries without replacing hormones is just wrong and harmful to many women. It would be unacceptable to remove another hormone producing organ - such as the thyroid - and not prescribe hormones back to a patient. So why do so many gynaecologists remove ovaries in young women and if they do prescribe hormones, why do they only prescribe estradiol?

In this week’s podcast, Jenny shares her experience of undergoing surgery for PMDD and why her journey didn’t end after her surgical menopause.

PMDD symptoms are common and often devastating, yet so many women are still struggling to be listened to and be diagnosed. Access to safe and usually effective hormone treatments is so difficult too for so many women - resulting in needless suffering.

In this week’s episode of my, I speak with, who spent years being inappropriately prescribed antidepressants, not being believed by many specialists and searching for answers before understanding the roles her changing hormone levels were having on her symptoms and mental health.

Her story is a powerful reminder that hormones affect far more than our periods, and that women deserve to be listened to, believed and offered informed choices about hormone treatments.

I’m very excited to announce this week’s two guests…

On Tuesday I am joined by Jenny who joined me to discuss her experience of living with PMDD, and how she was not listened to and dismissed by doctors as well as given the wrong treatments for so many years. She talks about the impact this had on every aspect of her life, and why she is determined to improve awareness of this often misunderstood condition. I know the conversation will resonate with so many of you.

Then on Thursday I speak with Dr Saira Hameed who is a consultant endocrinologist and author of Signals: The Inside Story of Our Hormones. She has a passion for helping people better understand how hormones shape our health and it’s a great conversation.

People often think of contraceptive hormones as only affecting our reproductive organs as they reduce fertility. But that’s a huge oversimplification and is wrong.

Our gonads (the ovaries) are the primary place that natural hormones are produced. But hormones influence every organ in our body, including our brain, heart, bones, immune system and skin.

The synthetic hormones in all contraceptives block the action of our natural hormones working and the studies have never been done to assess their effects on the other organs of the body - which is really shocking and worrying actually.

In this episode, Professor Neil Vargesson explains that synthetic hormones act throughout the body and why we still don’t fully understand the consequences.

Why are the hormones progesterone, estradiol and testosterone still so often thought of as though they’re only about the ovaries?

These hormones affect every cell in our body. They don’t just influence how we feel today, they play important roles in our future health too.

It’s time we stopped thinking about changing levels of these hormones just causing a few symptoms and started recognising the importance of prescribing hormone treatments as an important part of preventative healthcare.

Millions of women were prescribed Primodos as a pregnancy test before concerns emerged that it could cause devastating birth defects. Primodos contained the same synthetic hormones that are in many hormonal contraceptives still prescribed today. More than 60 years later, the women who were prescribed it ares still waiting an apology.

In this week’s episode Professor Neil Vargesson and I talk about what happened, why it took 20 years for the drug to be withdrawn as a pregnancy test (yet it is still prescribed now) and what this scandal teaches us about synthetic hormones, medical research and the importance of accurate knowledge.

One of the biggest misconceptions in medicine is people - including doctors - assuming that synthetic hormones are the same as the hormones our bodies naturally produce. They aren’t.

Even a tiny change to a chemical structure can completely change how something behaves. I often use the example of graphite and diamonds. They’re both made from carbon, but their structure is different, and so are their properties.

The same is true for hormones. Synthetic hormones have a different chemical structures to our own natural hormones, which means they behave differently in the body. Yet this distinction is rarely talked about.

This is why there are so many risks (including risks of cancer, clot, heart disease and stroke) with synthetic hormones which are not there with natural hormones that are either prescribed in the body or we prescribe as bioidentical hormone treatments. There is so much unknown about synthetic hormones, even now, as these studies have never been done.

In this week’s episode of my, I’m joined by Professor Neil Vargesson, whose research has helped uncover the history of Primodos - which contained the synthetic hormones ethinyestradiol and norethisterone - and why the voices of so many women are still going unheard.
When it comes to hormone treatments after cancer, too many women are told no with no discussion, no explanation and no opportunity to weigh up the benefits and risks for themselves. Yet there are always options and many women do take hormone treatments - testosterone, progesterone and / or estradiol - after having cancer, including breast cancer.
