76 – Why migraine is so much more than a headache with Dr Eli Sader

Migraine is one of the most common causes of disability worldwide, yet it’s still widely misunderstood and often dismissed as “just a headache”. In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by neurologist and migraine specialist Dr Eli Sader to explore what migraine really is, why it happens and why it affects so much more than pain alone. Dr.Elie Sader is a double board-certified neurologist and pain physician. Known online as Dr. Painkiller, he creates evidence-based migraine and pain educationacross platforms, cutting through medical misinformation with clinical rigor and a healthy skepticism toward wellness hype. They discuss the different stages of a migraine attack, common triggers, and why symptoms can vary so much between individuals. Eli explains what is happening in the brain during a migraine and why recognising the early signs is so important. Louise and Eli also explore the powerful connection between hormones and migraine, including why fluctuating hormone levels can worsen symptoms during perimenopause and menopause, and also during the menstrual cycle. They talk about how the right treatment approach can help. We hope you love the podcast.

75 – Can technology help us live healthier for longer?

We often talk about living longer, but what about living better? In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by award-winning technology journalist, broadcaster and author Lara Lewington to explore the difference between lifespan and health span, and why the future of healthcare needs to focus on preventing disease rather than simply treating it. They discuss how advances in technology and artificial intelligence could transform the way we understand our health, identify disease risk earlier and personalise healthcare in ways that were previously unimaginable. Louise and Lara also explore the growing role of wearable technology, health tracking and genomics, as well as the challenges that come with having more information about our bodies.

72 – ADHD in women: the hidden role of hormones

Why are so many women only discovering they have ADHD during perimenopause? In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by wellbeing coach, author and host of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate Moryoussef, for an important conversation about ADHD in women and the often overlooked role hormones can play. Kate shares how she was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 40 after recognising the same struggles in her daughter during homeschooling. Together, Louise and Kate explore why ADHD can present differently in women, how symptoms are often missed for years, and why hormonal changes during puberty, postnatal years and perimenopause can make symptoms significantly worse. The conversation highlights the importance of looking beyond labels, understanding the whole person and empowering women with better information so they can advocate for the support they deserve.
