The Truth About Quietly Quitting Your Marriage with Sex & Relationship Therapist Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy

Episode 36

Monday, October 5, 2026 • Duration 57:32

We plan our kids’ schedules, our careers, even our vacations down to the hour, and somehow holding our relationship together doesn’t get the same attention. Most marriages, when they end, don’t end in one big blowup —they end quietly; one skipped conversation at a time.

Today we’re talking about connection and the stress that fertility issues, perimenopause, and postpartum can put on our relationship. By the end of this episode, you’ll know what quietly quitting your marriage really looks like, how the mental load of raising kids and caregiving quietly erodes connection, and practical tips you can start implementing today, or even tonight, to build that connection. You’ll also learn what the orgasm gap is, and what can actually close it.

Our guest today is Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy, an AASECT Certified sex therapist and author of Parents in Love: A Guide to Great Sex After Kids. She is also certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and is the co-host of the Under the Hood podcast. Dr. Eudy helps couples navigate sex, desire, and connection in the whirlwind of parenting, even when life and kids make it feel impossible. She works with couples every day who love each other but have quietly drifted into something that looks more like a partnership than a marriage, and she’s here to tell us exactly how they find their way back before it’s too late.

Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins ask Dr. Eudy how she helps couples reestablish connection, her thoughts on open marriages, how she uses the biopsychosocial model to analyze low libido, and when should a couple seek out a sex therapist. Dr. Eudy also explains the difference between spontaneous desire and responsive desire and why it’s healthy for couples to talk about sex more than they have sex. If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this quote from Dr. Eudy: “You cannot pour desire from an empty cup. Rest, pleasure, and feeling valued are not luxuries, they’re conditions that intimacy requires.”

Beyond the Pink: Navigating Life, Health, and Breast Cancer with Medical Oncologist Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky

Episode 35

Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 58:10

Breast cancer is one of those diagnoses that almost every woman thinks about at some point. Maybe you’ve had a mammogram callback, maybe you found a lump, maybe your mother, sister, best friend, coworker, or you have been diagnosed. Or maybe you’ve wondered, what can I actually do to lower my risk? But here’s the thing - most of what women hear about breast cancer focuses on finding it and treating it, we hear much less about everything that comes before and after, and the after can be enormous.

What happens to your fertility if you’re diagnosed before you’ve finished building your family? What happens when chemotherapy or hormone therapy puts you into a state of menopause a decade before you expected it? Can you ever take hormones again? Is pregnancy safe after breast cancer? And after treatment ends, and everyone tells you “you’re cancer free - go live your life”…what does that actually look like?

Our guest today has made it her mission to talk about these exact issues. Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky is a board-certified medical oncologist specializing in breast and gynecologic cancers. She’s the head of the breast and gynecologic medical oncology department at Valley Health System in New Jersey, and a clinical assistant professor of medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, which is where Dr. Sekhon and Dr. Robbins met and trained together. Dr. Teplinsky is also the host of Interlude podcast, a passionate women’s health advocate and author of Beyond the Pink: Navigating Life, Health, and Breast Cancer.

Breast cancer is so much bigger than wearing a pink ribbon. In this episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins sit down with Dr. Teplinsky to discuss what women actually need to know about their risk, prevention, diagnosis, hormones, fertility, and what happens when treatment is done, but you’re still figuring out how to live in your body again.

Breast health isn’t just something that we should start thinking about after there’s a problem. We should be evaluating our own risk, better understanding our family history, knowing what screening we need, and knowing what changes in our body deserve attention, as well as taking care of ourselves in a holistic way outside of just actual breast cancer treatment. For anyone listening who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, or loves someone who has, we hope this conversation makes clear that you’re allowed to care about more than just simply surviving.

Healthcare Hacks: How to Get the Most Out of Your Doctor’s Appointment

Episode 34

Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 31:46

Doctor’s appointments can be intimidating. It’s a universal experience. And everyone wants to feel like their doctor is invested in them. As two doctors who are on the other side of things, we know how it feels when you walk into a sterile environment where you’re given a limited amount of time to be assessed and have all your questions answered.

In today’s episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins are giving you all the hacks and practical tips on how to get the most out of your doctor’s appointments. It’s enough to be a patient dealing with a medical problem, but navigating the healthcare system and coordination of everything that needs to be done is no small feat and can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure. Most doctor appointments are 15 minutes, or even less, and we are here to help you be prepared to use every single moment of that visit wisely. Dr. Sekhon and Dr. Robbins share how you should prep for your appointment, what to prioritize when you’re actually there, and the questions you should ask before you walk out the door. This episode stresses the importance of knowing enough to be able to participate actively and proactively in your medical care.

There are so many good doctors—you don’t go through years of grueling training without having a purpose or a reason behind it. Is it an optimal healthcare system? No. But this is all about being strategic, efficient, and maximizing as much as we can. You can get a lot more out of your experience and have better care if you are able to self-advocate, and today’s episode is really about giving you those tools. Plan it, be strategic, know your story, understand your options, speak up when something doesn’t make sense, and remember that your doctor has seen it all, so don’t be embarrassed to be vulnerable. And yes, crying IS normal!

We hope this episode inspires you to take your health into your own hands. The best care isn’t a doctor dictating what happens to a passive patient, it’s a partnership.

Answering Your Voicemails: Why Can’t I Get Pregnant? How Can I Support My Fertility as a Shift Worker? Does Perimenopause Look Different If I’ve Had a Hysterectomy?

Episode 33

Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 48:42

You called? We answered. In this episode, Dr. Alicia Robbins and Dr. Lucky Sekhon are responding to voicemails sent in by listeners with questions about a variety of women’s health concerns.

“How do I know if you have PMOS or Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA), or do I have both?” “I’ve done loads of testing to see if I had anything affecting my infertility and very little has been found, so why can’t I get pregnant?” “Is patch estrogen better than the pill for perimenopausal women who suffer from migraines with aura?”

These are the kinds of nuanced questions we love—the topics you might be embarrassed to ask about, the symptoms you’re googling 17 times, and the questions you forgot to ask at your doctor’s appointment. Dr. Robbins and Dr. Sekhon navigate their answers to these callers by using actual stories from their real-life experiences as menopause and fertility experts. They explain what the clues are when diagnosing a patient with PMOS or HA, how having a hysterectomy could, or could not, affect perimenopause, and dive into the most frustrating thing that Dr. Sekhon sees couples go through—unexplained infertility.

On the trending topic of Alix Earle finding out she’s a BRCA 2 carrier, Dr. Robbins shares what is important for women to know about BRCA gene mutations, and what the misconceptions are when it comes to taking the birth control pill and hormone therapy. For the women with thin uterine lining after ovulation, Dr. Sekhon explains what protocols she follows in her own practice to provide support and improve uterine lining thickness. Dr. Sekhon and Dr. Robbins also speak on their past struggles as shift workers, knowing how much stress this type of work puts on one’s physiology, and they give practical solutions on how someone can best optimize their fertility in these circumstances.

If there’s one thing that the questions in this episode proved, it’s that reproductive health is rarely as simple as one symptom, one lab value, or one diagnosis. The context behind every individual’s situation matters. Thank you to everyone who called in. Keep leaving voicemails to be featured on a future episode!

Ask Your Doctor: Does Hormone Therapy Cause Breast Cancer? Why Is My Libido So Low? When Should I Consider IVF?

Episode 32

Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 52:40

Your favorite podcast doctors are solo this week! Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins are here to answer all of your burning women’s health questions in this listener Q&A. They asked you what you wanted to know about fertility, pregnancy, hormones, perimenopause, menopause—and you definitely delivered.

In this rapid-fire Q&A, Dr. Sekhon and Dr. Robbins focus on answering the highest yield questions that they get online and in their practice. A reminder that nothing in this episode should be taken as individualized medical advice, but they hope their generalized advice inspires you to have a low threshold when it comes to asking your doctor questions and seeking out experts.

“I have diminished ovarian reserve, should I stop trying naturally?” “What should I avoid after an embryo transfer?” “Why did my sleep quality suddenly decline when I entered my 40s?” “I’ve had two miscarriages, should I just do IVF?” These are real questions that women want answers to. Dr. Sekhon and Dr. Robbins address the multiple factors that are often overlooked when it comes to sleep issues, low libido, fertility testing, recurrent pregnancy loss, and so much more. They give you the inside scoop on what they tell their own patients, and the processes and tests they use to determine the cause of the problem. By the end of this episode, they hope you feel less alone in your health struggles, gain confidence to talk to your doctor about the symptoms you’re experiencing and feel more comfortable discussing taboo topics with your friend group. The common thread here is that women’s health is on a continuum, everything is interrelated, one person’s experience doesn’t tell the whole story, and context is so important when addressing health issues.

Raising the Standard for Women’s Care with Celebrity OB/GYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi

Episode 31

Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 53:12

In this episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins are joined by renowned OB/GYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, better known as Dr. A, to talk about what comprehensive women's healthcare should actually look like. Dr. A shares why she refuses to dismiss her patients' symptoms, why a Pap smear is only one small piece of an annual exam, and why these exams should be viewed holistically.

The conversation takes a deeper look into breast cancer prevention after Dr. A opens up about her own experience discovering that her lifetime breast cancer risk was dramatically higher than she expected and how a breast MRI helped uncover early breast cancer in Olivia Munn after her initial imaging was negative. They also discuss the importance of pelvic ultrasound, what a Pap smear actually screens for, why endometriosis and PCOS can go undiagnosed for years, and how women can become better advocates for themselves without falling into the misinformation trap.

Dr. A fervently speaks on why celebrity health stories can actually be powerful public health tools, how social media can both educate and mislead, and why finding a doctor who truly listens may be one of the most important things you can do for your health.

The Truth About Postpartum Psychosis with Dr. Katrina Furey

Episode 30

Monday, August 24, 2026 • Duration 45:40

Trigger Warning: This episode deals with intense and difficult topics regarding the Lindsay Clancy case.

Postpartum psychosis and postpartum mental health have been a recent topic of online discussion during the past few weeks due to the highly publicized murder trial of Lindsay Clancy.

In this episode, Dr. Alicia Robbins is joined by Dr. Katrina Furey, a Yale trained board certified reproductive psychiatrist, the founder of Sound Psychiatry, a private practice serving patients in Connecticut and Florida, and the founder of Repro Psych Academy, an online interdisciplinary continuing access platform built to close the gap in reproductive health education. She’s also a clinical instructor at Yale University and consults for Connecticut’s access, mental health, and substance use for moms program. Dr. Furey is a frequent media contributor on perinatal mental health and postpartum psychosis, with credits including CNN, Newsweek, The New York Post, and a recent live appearance on Court TV to discuss postpartum psychosis as it relates to the Lindsay Clancy trial.

Dr. Robbins and Dr. Furey discuss the difference between postpartum psychosis and postpartum depression, how powerful hormonal and chemical shifts after childbirth can be, and what the warning signs look like in the days and weeks after delivery. They also connect over their concerns for both mothers and physicians due to the pitfalls of the healthcare system. Dr. Furey shares how her personal experience with postpartum, and the shame she went through, shifted her career projection. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of how someone can go from being a perfectly capable, loving mother, to someone who is at risk of hurting their own children.

The Science Behind Sleep with Dr. Saema Tahir of @thenycsleepdoctor

Episode 29

Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 43:43

If you feel like sleep suddenly hits differently in your 40s, you're not imagining it. You are now wide awake at 5AM, tossing and turning through the night, or waking up exhausted despite getting what should be enough hours of sleep.

In this episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins are joined by quadruple board-certified sleep specialist Dr. Saema Tahir, also known as The New York Sleep Doctor, to break down what actually happens to sleep as women move through their 30s, 40s, and 50s. They explain why sleep quality matters just as much as sleep quantity, how estrogen and progesterone fluctuations can disrupt sleep during perimenopause, and why getting seven to nine hours doesn't necessarily mean you're getting restorative sleep.

The conversation also tackles one of the most overlooked issues in women's health: sleep apnea. Dr. Tahir explains why irritability, brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, and poor sleep may actually be signs of an underlying sleep disorder. They discuss the truth about melatonin and why it's more of a timing medication than a sleep aid, and whether magnesium, ashwagandha, CBD and THC actually work.

Hormones, Your Brain, and What Every Woman Should Know with Neurosurgeon Dr. Rupa Juthani

Episode 28

Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 48:09

Is brain health really determined by genetics, or are there everyday habits that can make a meaningful difference?

In this episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins are joined by neurosurgeon Dr. Rupa Juthani to separate facts from fiction when it comes to protecting your brain. Together, they explore the lifestyle habits most strongly associated with long-term cognitive health, including nutrition, exercise, sleep, social connection, hearing protection, alcohol use, and emerging research on creatine. They explain why brain health is about far more than crossword puzzles, how chronic inflammation may influence cognitive decline, and why protecting your brain starts decades before symptoms ever appear.

The conversation also tackles some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding brain imaging, dementia prevention, and wellness trends. They discuss whether everyone should get screening MRIs, what symptoms actually warrant brain imaging, why incidental findings can create unnecessary anxiety, and how to make evidence-based decisions without falling into fear. Dr. Juthani also shares her experience working in a male-dominated field.

The Hidden Cause of Missing Periods, Infertility, & Pregnancy Loss with GYN Surgeon, Dr. Leigh Rose

Episode 27

Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 01:01:35

In this episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon is joined by gynecologic surgeon Dr. Leigh Rosen to unpack Asherman's syndrome, also known as intrauterine adhesions. Together, they explain how scar tissue can develop inside the uterus after procedures like D&Cs, cesarean deliveries, fibroid surgery, or pregnancy-related complications, and why this often-overlooked condition can lead to infertility, recurrent miscarriage, implantation failure, lighter or absent periods, and pregnancy complications. They break down the difference between intrauterine adhesions and Asherman's syndrome, why the condition is frequently missed, and how hysteroscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosis.

The conversation also explores what treatment actually looks like, from delicate hysteroscopic surgery to postoperative hormone therapy. They discuss why repairing the uterine lining often requires patience, multiple procedures, and close collaboration between fertility specialists and surgeons.
