| S4 Ep199: Closing the Mind-Body Libido Gap with Dr. Lori Brotto | 09 avr. 2026 | 00:52:04 | |
As a gynecologist, I help women with the physical, hormonal, and medical aspects of sexual response: eliminate sexual pain, and help women who can’t orgasm due to an SSRI, diabetes or vascular disease. I am not a therapist. I do not treat the psychosocial aspects of sexual difficulties or address the mind-body connection. And that is why the work I do depends on experts like my guest today, Dr. Lori Brotto Dr. Lori Brotto is a registered psychologist, researcher, and global leader in women’s sexual health. A Professor at the University of British Columbia and Distinguished University Scholar, she has spent more than two decades developing and validating evidence-based treatments for women’s sexual concerns and is widely recognized for pioneering the use of mindfulness in sexual health. She co-developed eSense to translate this body of research into accessible, evidence-based care beyond traditional clinical settings. Dr. Brotto has authored more than 280 scientific publications and is also the author of Better Sex Through Mindfulness and its companion workbook. In this episode:

Human Papillomavirus, or HPV, is responsible for 6 different kinds of cancers…Cervical, anal, oral pharyngeal, vaginal, vulvar, and penile.

But, what about women over 45? Shouldn’t they have the option of getting a vaccine that prevents 90% of HPV related cancers? My guest is Dr. Vivien Brown, an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto with a special interest in Adult Immunization and Vaccine Preventable Illness. Dr. Brown presented HPV initiatives in Canada at the UN meetings for the Commission on the Status of Women.

Emotional lability, anxiety, crying jags. Welcome to perimenopause. 70% of women experience depressive symptoms and alterations in mood when estrogen levels plunge or start to fluctuate. While many factors increase the risk, there is no denying that changes in hormone levels have something to do with anxiety, mood, and depression, even in people who never had issues before perimenopause.

She has authored hundreds of scientific articles and leads a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded research program on women, cognition, mood, and dementia.

In this episode: · What it was like to participate in Dr. Jill Biden’s White House Initiative on Women's Health Research · The difference between depressive symptoms, mood alteration and depression · The risk of recurrence if there is a history of depression during perimenopause · The risk of developing depression if there is no history of depression · The risk of developing mood alterations if there is no history of depression · Windows of vulnerability (pregnancy, post-partum, perimenopause) · What is occurring hormonally in the brain at the level of progesterone and estrogen receptors · The Science Behind Risk Factors for developing depressive symptoms or depression during perimenopause o Early menopause o BRCA mutations o History of major depressive disorder o Hormone sensitivity in the brain o Severe menopause symptoms o Childhood experiences o Current life stressors · Treatment Options for Perimenopausal Depressive Symptoms o No treatment- when will it go away? o Cognitive Behavioral Therapy o SSRIs o Hormone Therapy o NK3 Agonists o Progesterone? | |||

She is a trustworthy voice of science and evidence-based medicine in a sea of influencers who don’t always stick to the data.

| S4 Ep182: The TRUE History of the Vibrator | 07 août 2025 | 00:51:31 | |
I have written many times about how in the 1800s, vibrators were not sexual items that women bought for themselves, but medical devices used by doctors to treat a medical condition then known as hysteria. The problem is- that’s not true. And be sure to check out my photo gallery of devices discussed in this episode!

In this episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Swati Kulkarni, the lead investigator of a new study in which women with a newly diagnosed breast ductal carcinoma in situ, DCIS, were given a month’s worth of hormone therapy before standard treatment to see the impact it would have on developing cancer cells.

When it comes to the risk of developing dementia, family history is a factor, but it is far from the only factor.

In this episode, I explore the relationship between what you eat and brain health with Dr. Annie Fenn, the author of The Brain Health KITCHEN, Preventing Alzheimer’s through Food.

| S4 Ep174: Is Your Transdermal ESTROGEN... Getting ABSORBED? | 17 avr. 2025 | 00:49:45 | |
Transdermal estrogen in the form of a patch, gel, or cream is often the preferred delivery method for menopausal hormone therapy. Unlike oral estrogen, in addition to other advantages, transdermal estrogen does not increase the risk of blood clots. But a new study, published in the journal Menopause, indicates that your transdermal estrogen… may not be doing what you think it’s doing. Today, I am speaking with one of the authors of that study, Dr. Louise Newson.

| S3 Ep170: The Dark History of the Pelvic Exam | 06 mars 2025 | 01:02:47 | |
The vagina is a dark and mysterious place. It is the passage by which most of us enter the world. As an adult, it is the place where our sexuality is housed, hopefully, associated with pleasure, but it can also be a place associated with pain, and sometimes trauma. It is impossible to see the vagina without a speculum since the vagina is completely internal. And it was the invention of the speculum that allowed physicians to help women suffering from gynecologic conditions. But, there is a dark history to the origins of the speculum exam, and even in recent times there are those that have taken advantage of this very vulnerable moment to harm, not help women. In this episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Wendy Kline, a Professor at Perdue University who is internationally recognized for her scholarship in the history of medicine, the history of women’s health, and the history of childbirth. She is the author of many books, including her most recent book: Exposed: The Hidden History of the Pelvic Exam.

| S3 Ep169: When Progesterone is Problematic: A Collaboration on a Complex Patient with Dr. Risa Kagan | 27 févr. 2025 | 00:59:41 | |
Menopause experts rarely see patients with no medical issues. We see the patient with multiple medical problems and concerns. In this episode, I bring in menopause expert Dr. Risa Kagan to collaborate on options for the following complex patient. (Be sure and check out my Substack article that gets into the nuances of bazodoxifene) Beth is 51 years old. I’ve been flashing for 2 years with no end in sight. I really want to try estrogen not just to help my hot flashes, but also because my mom had osteoporosis. I don’t have osteoporosis yet, but I’m worried since I’ve been told I have low bone mass. My doctor won’t give me estrogen because my grandmother died from breast cancer. She wants me to take raloxifene to protect my bones and my breast, but that won’t help my flashes. I also would rather not take anything with progesterone since when I took it years ago to help with irregular periods, I got moody and bloated. I need some help here. “ *Options discussed include:

Hot flashes, the hallmark of menopause are experienced by up to 80% of women. And if you are in your late 40s or early 50s and dressing in layers, carrying a fan, and sweating through your pajamas, chances are, it’s menopause. But maybe it’s not.

| S3 Ep166: Paternalism and the Uterus | 06 févr. 2025 | 00:16:46 | |
The 1950s and 60s were a time of medical paternalism in America. The doctor, who was male in 98 percent of cases, decided what was best for his patient and unilaterally made decisions that were rarely, if ever questioned. In 1969 Dr. Marcus Welby was the TV prototype of this godlike paragon, and he spoke decisively and with authority in countless American households, including my own, on a weekly basis. This paternalistic approach to medical care affected both male and female patients but had a more profound impact on women since they regularly required medical intervention due to childbirth and gynecologic issues. This was a time when the likelihood of a hysterectomy was at its peak. Estimates suggest that the annual incidence of hysterectomy in 1935 was 2.4 per 1000 women. By the 1970s, it was 11 women per 1000 . This episode is a historical perspective examining the rise..and fall of inappropriate hysterectomies that were driven by not just paternalism, but other factors as well. And if you are looking for a little more history, head over to my substack for my article on Historic Approaches to dealing with uterine prolapse.

| S3 Ep164: Is Bioidentical Always Best? | 23 janv. 2025 | 00:17:14 | |
Many, if not most women and clinicians believe that bioidentical estrogen is always best when it comes to post menopause hormone therapy. This comes from the premise that bio-identical estrogen is completely natural and therefore safer and more effective than other forms of estrogen. Except that is not necessarily true. In this myth-busting episode, I discuss:

As 2024 ends, I decided to revisit the top episodes from last year. If I were to go by my favorites, choosing would be impossible. According to the number of downloads, the two top contenders are Top Tips for Skin and Hair with Dr. Ellen Gendler and Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Vonda Wright. I am going to update Dr. Gendler's episode in a few weeks. In this episode I am going to revisit Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Vonda Wright. Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon has made it her mission to raise awareness about the musculoskeletal changes that occur because of menopause, and how a lack of estrogen sabotages the ability to be active. And that lack of activity not only impacts bone health and cardiovascular health but also cognitive function. At the end, is an update on what has happened since I recorded that episode. In this episode: · The six symptoms of musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause · The relationship between GSM and dementia · Why frozen shoulder is the number one complaint · The relationship of menopause to osteoarthritis · The impact of mobility on cognitive function · The impact of menopause on frailty · The impact of testosterone on musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause · Exercise and cancer risk reduction · How heavy your weights should be to increase muscle power Dr. Wright’s publication Wright VJ, et al.

If you haven't finished your holiday shopping yet, I've got you covered. In this episode, I have great gift ideas that also happen to be healthy. There were two criteria to make it to this list. One, it had to be something I already own or would like to own. Second, there had to be a scientifically proven health benefit to using these items. And if you have already finished your shopping, these are great gifts to buy for yourself.

| S3 Ep158: How to Find a Clinician Who is Not Clueless | 12 déc. 2024 | 00:31:09 | |
An “MD” after the name is no assurance that the person to whom you are about to bare your soul—and your vagina—is an expert when it comes to menopause. In this episode, I am going to walk you through the steps to find someone you can trust to fix your flashes, foggy brain, and failing sex life. Head over to Substack.com/@DrStreicher for a transcript of the episode, and bonus!

| S3 Ep157: Hormone Therapy to Help the Heart? | 05 déc. 2024 | 00:23:29 | |
If you would like to read a transcript of this episode along with some additional information, head on over to my substack- substack.com/@DrStreicher Chances are you have heard at least one expert say that systemic hormone therapy will prevent heart disease. But you also may have heard other experts say, No- if you don’t have hot flashes or low bone mass, it is not recommended to take hormone therapy to prevent heart disease down the road. So, who is right? Why is this controversial? Isn’t the data, the data? In this episode, I explain why experts are not all on the same page when it comes to the long-term cardiovascular benefits of hormone therapy. · The Difference between a Randomized Controlled Trial and an Observational Trial · Why the WHI was an excellent study- and why it was problematic · What we learned From the WHI about Hormones and Cardiovascular Health · The Study of Women Across the Nation (SWAN) · What we learned From the SWAN about Hormones and Cardiovascular Health · What we learned From the SWAN about Hormone therapy and Cardiovascular Risk · What we learned From the SWAN about Hormone therapy and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease · If hormone therapy should be prescribed for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease- the view of the two opposing sides Lauren Streicher, MD is a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, and the founding medical director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause and a Senior Research Fellow of The Kinsey Institute, Indiana University.

| S3 Ep155: Genital Dryness and Misbehaving Bladders | 21 nov. 2024 | 00:22:07 | |
Men have always had the clear advantage of being able to inspect their genitals with very little effort on their part. Women’s genitals are not quite as accessible, resulting in a lot more uncertainty about what’s normal and what’s not. No wonder women are frequently blindsided by not only the physical changes that occur with the onset of menopause but also symptoms like dryness, painful sex, itching, recurrent urinary tract infections, and that constant “gotta go” feeling!

| S3 Ep154: Invisible Woman Syndrome | 14 nov. 2024 | 00:44:09 | |
Studies reveal that 70% of women experience a sense of being overlooked socially and professionally once they hit 50. The term for this phenomenon is Invisible Woman Syndrome. In this episode, I am joined by Christine Morrison, who writes about the social constructs in the fashion, beauty and wellness industry that inform the way society views women, and the way women often feel about themselves as they get older. Christine Morrison’s writing has appeared in print and online vehicles such as The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Quality Edit and Margot Magazine, among others, and in advertising campaigns for Alastin Skincare, French Connection, Juicy Couture and more. Prior to focusing on writing full-time, Morrison held leadership positions in the fashion and beauty industries, including serving as Global Vice President of Beauty and Apparel Marketing for Calvin Klein. Her forthcoming book, “Clothes Minded: Fashionable Essays About Finding Yourself,” – in which she reflects on the meaning behind, and the humor in, the relationship between her sartorial self and formation of identity – is slated to publish Spring, 2026.

You grab a product off the shelf—maybe it promises to help with bladder control, take off ten pounds, erase wrinkles, or boost orgasms. You assume it will do what it claims to do because it has the FDA seal on the package. Most consumers have no idea that most over-the-counter products have not been tested to ensure product claims are legitimate.

| S3 Ep150: Managing Menopause When Cancer is a Concern with Dr. Mindy Goldman | 17 oct. 2024 | 01:03:52 | |
Managing menopause in the face of cancer can be complicated. Many women are made to think that they should just be grateful to be alive and not complain about their all day all night hot flashes, brain fog and sex that is excruciatingly painful. Many oncologists are not experts when it comes to menopause or sexual function and don’t bring it up or give information that isn’t accurate. Many women aren’t aware that hormone therapy may be safe, and if it’s not, that there are non-hormonal options to solve virtually every problem. In this Q and A episode I am joined by Dr. Mindy Goldman, the Director of the Gynecology Center for Cancer Survivors and At-Risk Women at UCSF and the Chief Clinical Officer at Midi Health. • Options to treat vaginal dryness when taking an aromatase inhibitor • Options to prevent bone loss if estrogen is not an option • Using testosterone to help libido with a breast cancer diagnosis • If it is OK to take hormone therapy with an ER negative breast cancer • If it is OK to take hormone therapy with a recent or remote diagnosis of an ER positive breast cancer • Hormone therapy with endometrial (uterine cancer) • Hormone therapy post lung cancer • If estrogen will decrease the risk of colon cancer if there is a genetic pre-disposition such as Lynch syndrome • If someone is at risk of breast cancer, are some forms of hormone therapy better to use than others • Why you are asked about estrogen use when you have a mammogram • Is it safe to use hormone therapy with a BRCA mutation • Should a hysterectomy be performed along with ovary removal with ovary and tube removal • If radiation from a mammogram increasesthe risk of getting breast cancer? • If it is safe to use hormone therapy with dense breasts • And much more… Mindy Goldman MD JoinMidi.com Dr. Goldman is the Chief Clincial Officer at Midi Health and a Clinical Professor Emeritus in the department of OB/GYN at UCSF, where she is also the Director of the Gynecology Center for Cancer Survivors and At-Risk Women.
