dimanche 28 décembre 2025 • Durée 11:32

Welcome to our first episode!

We are Dr. Alison Yeung and Dr. Julie Maidment, two family physicians with a passion for helping our patients. In this episode, we discuss why we've decided to make a podcast about the intersection between parenting and the menopause transition.

Future episodes will focus on interviewing experts about various parenting topics (particularly as it relates to parenting in the digital age), and menopause transition topics (think: sleep, weight, mental health, treatment options!).

Dr. Sasha High is a Board-Certified Internist and Obesity Medicine Physician with over a decade of experience in metabolic healthcare. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Ottawa and completed her medical degree and residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Toronto.

In this episode we discuss rates of obesity and its evolution over the past century, as well as its implications on health outcomes. We discuss why weight becomes more difficult to manage when the storm of perimenopause hits women, and evidence-based strategies to help. We also dive into medical obesity treatments, namely GLP-1 agonists, and their risks and benefits. You'll leave this episode with a wealth of information and empowerment!

Episode 3: A Brief Overview of Perimenopause//Should Social Media be Banned for Kids?

Épisode 3

lundi 26 janvier 2026 • Durée 40:03

Alison and Julie sit down to give listeners a brief overview of perimenopause- definitions, diagnosis, and treatment. We hope to bring some clarity and simplicity to a quickly changing field of medicine. In future episodes we will dive deeper into some of the subject matter we briefly discuss today!

Then we flip to asking the question- will social media age bans help to protect our kids? What do these bans really entail, and where may they fall short? We hope to draw some attention to this question in Canada specifically, where our government has been mostly silent on the topic. Update: Jan 21st article from Globe & Mail here titled, "Federal officials draft plans to ban social media for children under 14"

Episode 4: Kids & ADHD// Practical Strategies for Parents with Mike McLeod

Épisode 4

lundi 9 février 2026 • Durée 01:03:45

Alison and Julie chat with Mike McLeod from GrowNowADHD. We discuss the complexities of parenting children with ADHD, emphasizing the importance of understanding executive functioning, the impact of social media, and the need for appropriate consequences rather than punishments. Mike introduces the concept of a 'brain coach' to help children self-regulate and highlights the outdated DSM criteria for ADHD diagnosis. The discussion also covers the effects of screen time on ADHD behaviours and the phenomenon of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) as a social media trend. Mike offers practical advice for parents to navigate these challenges and foster their children's development.

Mike's new books are titled The Executive Function Playbook and Workbook and can be found on his website.

Dr. Yeung's appearance on Mike's podcast, The ADHD Parenting Podcast, can be found here on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Episode 6: The Rise of Online Peptides for Weight Loss//Weighing the Risks

Épisode 6

lundi 9 mars 2026 • Durée 17:25

A recent conversation with a patient revealed a rising trend: people are turning to online, unregulated, unapproved peptides for weight loss, often without understanding the risks involved.

While approved medications like Wegovy and Zepbound exist for obesity management, sidestepping medical oversight for experimental drugs that lack sufficient research is increasing in popularity due to cost, accessibility and social media hype.

Using these peptides can lead to serious health issues—dehydration, kidney problems, and more. It’s crucial to weigh the desire for quick results against potential long-term consequences.

Kids, Smartphones and Social Media//Focusing on the Nuance with Dr. Naylor and Dr. Abi-Jaoude

Épisode 8

mardi 14 avril 2026 • Durée 01:00:30

Let's face it- raising kids in this tech saturated world is HARD. As if there aren't enough things to worry about, parents find themselves constantly worrying about the impact devices are having on their children, the content they're seeing online, all while trying to manage their own digital distraction.

Today we sat down with two staff psychiatrists from Toronto, ON. Dr. Karline Treurnicht Naylor (Mount Sinai Hospital) and Dr. Elia Abi-Jaoude (Sick Kids Hospital) co-authored two articles about the impact digital media is having on mental health.

This article published in the CMAJ analyzed available research and discussed the impact smartphones and social media may be having on youth.

This article argues that in the era of split attention, there is more than one type of ADHD.

We sit down and discuss the changes we've all seen in our practices over the past decade, what the evidence shows, and practical tips for parents to use in their own home. We discuss the diagnostic challenges that have emerged due to the digital era. And importantly, we discuss the nuance. There are no easy answers here, and we're all navigating it together.
