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 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.

For decades, women have been told to fear hormones. But what if understanding them is one of the most important steps you can take for your current and future health?

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by South African GP and functional medicine specialist Dr Mary Atkinson to discuss the vital role hormones play throughout the body and why women deserve better information to make informed choices about their health.

Drawing on both her professional expertise and personal experience, Mary explains how hormones influence everything from brain function and bone health to cardiovascular health, inflammation and healthy ageing. Together, Louise and Mary explore the growing evidence around hormone treatments and disease prevention, discuss the importance of individualised care, and examine why so many women still struggle to access accurate information and appropriate treatment.
