In this episode of The Pause, we sit down with Dr. Louisa Hope, a local Castlemaine GP who’s been supporting people through every stage of life for over 30 years. Louisa brings warmth, wisdom, and a whole lot of honesty to the conversation about perimenopause and menopause.

She takes us through the steps of how a GP should be responding to patients in perimenopause and what support options she thinks are best practice.

What makes this chat special is Louisa’s deep respect for each person's unique experience. She’s all about listening, validating, and helping people to find what works for them—whether that’s natural therapies, medical treatments, or just having a good support network.
