| Testosterone for Women: What Does the Evidence Tell Us with Professor Susan Davis | 11 Oct 2026 | 00:36:01 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! Testosterone therapy for women is attracting increasing attention, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. But who actually benefits from testosterone therapy? Should women be measuring their testosterone levels? And what does the research tell us about its effects on sexual health, mood, cognition, muscle mass and long-term safety? In this episode of the MenopauseWize Podcast, we speak with Professor Susan Davis, a leading clinician researcher and endocrinologist whose work has been pivotal in advancing our understanding of testosterone in women. Her research has involved more than 20,000 women, and her clinical trials provided the foundation for the first approval of testosterone therapy for women. Professor Davis is Head of the Monash University Women’s Health Research Program and a past President of both the Australasian Menopause Society and the International Menopause Society. With more than 500 peer-reviewed publications, she has made significant contributions to women's health research and clinical practice.
Whether you are a woman considering testosterone therapy or a healthcare professional prescribing it, this episode offers an opportunity to hear directly from one of the researchers who has helped shape our understanding of its role in women's health. Join us for an evidence-based conversation about what testosterone therapy can do, what it cannot do, and what we still need to learn.

| Sexual Health Beyond Hormones: When the Mind Is Part of the Treatment with Dr. Lori Brotto | 12 Sep 2026 | 00:48:00 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! In this episode of the MenopauseWize podcast, we sit down with Dr. Lori Brotto, a psychologist, researcher, and internationally recognized expert in women’s sexual health, to explore an important but often overlooked part of sexual healthcare: the mind. When women experience changes in desire, arousal, pleasure, or sexual satisfaction, the conversation often focuses on hormones, medications, and physical causes. While these are important pieces of the puzzle, psychological factors can also have a significant impact on sexual health. And importantly, there are evidence-based psychological treatments available. Dr. Brotto takes us through the role of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) in treating sexual concerns, what the research tells us about these approaches, and why they remain surprisingly underutilized. We also discuss the barriers that can make psychological sexual healthcare difficult to access, from a shortage of trained professionals and gaps in healthcare delivery to the stigma and shame that still surround conversations about sexual health. Importantly, this is not about choosing between medical and psychological treatment. We discuss why good sexual healthcare needs to be multidisciplinary, with hormones, medications, psychological therapies, pelvic floor therapy, and other interventions working together rather than competing with one another. Dr. Brotto also introduces eSense, an online platform developed to make evidence-based CBT and mindfulness-based interventions for sexual concerns more accessible. She explains who it is designed for, how the programs work, and what the research has shown so far. Key Topics Covered: • The role of the mind in women’s sexual health, desire, arousal, and pleasure Join us for an important conversation that takes sexual health beyond hormones and reminds us that the mind is not separate from sexual health. It can be an important part of both understanding the problem and finding the right treatment.

| Is Bioidentical Best? Navigating Hormone Therapy Choices in Midlife with Dr Lauren Streicher | 01 Aug 2026 | 00:47:49 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! The words bioidentical, natural, synthetic, and compounded are everywhere in menopause care. They're often used interchangeably, marketed as though they mean the same thing, and can leave women wondering which hormones are truly the safest and most effective. In this episode of the MenopauseWize podcast, Dr. Sukhpreet Patel is joined by renowned menopause expert Dr. Lauren Streicher to separate marketing from evidence and help women make informed decisions about hormone therapy. What does "bioidentical" actually mean? Does "natural" automatically mean safer? Are compounded bioidentical hormones really more personalised or superior to FDA-approved therapies? Dr. Streicher explains the science behind these commonly used terms and discusses what women should know before choosing any hormone therapy. The conversation also explores an often-overlooked aspect of menopause care: the important role that non-bioidentical hormones continue to play, particularly during perimenopause. Many women still require effective contraception while also managing menopausal symptoms, and options such as combined oral contraceptive pills, the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD), and conjugated estrogens with bazedoxifene can be valuable tools in the right clinical situations. Key Topics Covered
Join us for this practical, evidence-based discussion as we explore how the best hormone therapy isn't determined by whether it's labelled "bioidentical" or "synthetic," but by choosing the right treatment for the right woman.

| Taking GLP-1s? Don't Forget Your Bones with Dr. Susan Brian | 18 Jul 2026 | 00:50:44 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! Taking GLP-1s? Don't Forget Your Bones GLP-1 medications have transformed the treatment of obesity and are helping millions of people lose weight and improve their metabolic health. But as these medications become increasingly common, an important question is receiving far less attention: what happens to our bones during weight loss? In this episode of the MenopauseWize podcast, Dr. Sukhpreet Patel is joined by Dr. Susan Brian, a board-certified endocrinologist and clinical researcher, to explore the relationship between GLP-1 medications, weight loss, and skeletal health. Weight loss itself can influence bone health, but are GLP-1 medications doing anything beyond that? Do they directly affect bone metabolism, or are changes in bone density simply a consequence of carrying less weight? Dr. Brian explains what the current evidence tells us, how strong that evidence is, and where important knowledge gaps still remain. This conversation is particularly relevant for women in perimenopause and menopause. As estrogen levels decline, bone loss naturally accelerates. What happens when significant weight loss is added to the picture? Could these effects be additive, and should women in midlife think differently about protecting their bones while taking GLP-1 medications? The episode also explores the difference between bone density and fracture risk, who may benefit from closer monitoring, whether a baseline DEXA scan should be considered before starting treatment, and the practical strategies women can implement to preserve bone health. From adequate protein intake and resistance training to calcium, vitamin D, and the role of menopausal hormone therapy, Dr. Brian provides practical, evidence-based guidance to help women maximise the benefits of GLP-1 therapy without compromising their long-term skeletal health.

| GLP-1s: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started with Dr Michelle Gordon | 04 Jul 2026 | 00:47:23 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! GLP-1 medications have rapidly transformed the treatment of obesity, but they have also generated an enormous amount of confusion. Are they simply another weight loss drug? Who are they really for? How do they work? And do they have a role for women navigating perimenopause and menopause? In this episode of the MenopauseWize podcast, Dr. Sukhpreet Patel is joined by Dr. Michelle Gordon, a board-certified physician in obesity medicine, lifestyle medicine, and general surgery. After fifteen years as a general surgeon, Dr. Gordon shifted her focus to women's metabolic health, recognising that many chronic diseases are best addressed long before patients reach the operating room. Today, she helps women understand the biology of obesity while providing compassionate, evidence-based care. The conversation begins by exploring how our understanding of obesity has changed. Rather than viewing obesity as simply a matter of willpower or lifestyle choices, Dr. Gordon explains why it is now recognised as a chronic, multifactorial disease influenced by genetics, hormones, metabolism, appetite regulation, and the environment. From there, the discussion tackles one of the most common misconceptions in weight management: "calories in versus calories out." Dr. Gordon explains why energy balance still matters, but why the biology regulating hunger, satiety, and energy expenditure makes weight management far more complex than many people realise, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. The episode then explores where GLP-1 medications fit into modern obesity care, including who may benefit, who may not be an appropriate candidate, how clinicians choose between the growing number of available medications, what women should realistically expect before starting treatment, common side effects, and the exciting health benefits of GLP-1 therapy that extend well beyond weight loss. Whether you are considering a GLP-1 medication yourself or simply want to better understand the science behind these treatments, this episode provides an evidence-based foundation to help you make informed decisions.
Join us for this evidence-based discussion as we separate fact from fiction and explore where GLP-1 medications fit into modern obesity care, particularly for women navigating the metabolic changes of midlife.

| Dense Breasts and the Diagnostic Gap: What Every Woman Deserves to Know with Dr. Paula Gordon | 16 May 2026 | 00:58:41 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! Did you know that almost half of all women have dense breasts, and most have no idea what that means for their health? In this episode of the MenopauseWize Podcast, Dr. Sukhpreet Patel sits down with Dr. Paula Gordon, a pioneering breast radiologist and Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia, to unpack one of the most underappreciated gaps in women's healthcare. Dr. Gordon was among the first researchers to show that ultrasound could detect small cancers missed by mammograms in women with dense breasts. Her advocacy has helped change policy across Canada, ensuring women are now told whether they have dense breasts in their mammogram reports, and successfully pushing all Canadian provinces to lower the screening age to 40 along with her colleagues In this conversation, we cover:

| Sexual Health, Midlife and South Asian Women: Breaking the Silence with Dr. Sadaf Lodhi | 04 Apr 2026 | 00:47:04 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! Sexual Health, Midlife and South Asian Women: Breaking the Silence In this episode of the MenopauseWize Podcast, Dr. Sukhpreet Patel is joined by Dr. Sadaf Lodhi. Dr Lodhi is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist who has been practicing in New York for over 20 years. Dr. Lodhi’s work is centered around empowering and educating women, with a special focus on sexual health, menopausal care, and intimacy coaching.
Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Lodhi is also the host of The Muslim Sex Podcast, where she explores conversations around intimacy and women’s health in culturally nuanced spaces. You can also find her on Instagram at @drsadafobgyn, where she continues to break stigma and educate women about sexual and menopausal health. Sexual health in midlife is rarely discussed openly, and when we add the cultural context of South Asian communities, the silence often becomes even deeper. Many women grow up without language around pleasure, intimacy, or the physical changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause. In this conversation, Dr. Lodhi and Dr. Patel explore how hormonal changes during midlife affect sexual health, including painful intercourse, low libido, and shifts in arousal and pleasure. They also discuss the cultural layers that shape how South Asian women experience and talk about these changes — from normalization of discomfort to hesitation around seeking treatment. The discussion also examines how cultural expectations, communication patterns within marriages, and longstanding beliefs about modesty and duty can influence whether women seek help or simply endure symptoms. Importantly, this episode also highlights that many of these concerns are both common and treatable. From vaginal estrogen and lubricants to pelvic floor therapy and improved communication, there are evidence-based options that can significantly improve comfort and sexual well-being. The episode concludes with practical advice for South Asian women navigating midlife sexuality and reflections on whether the next generation may be entering menopause with a more open understanding of sexual health. This conversation aims to break stigma, provide clarity, and remind women that sexual health is an important part of overall health.

| Hormone Therapy After Breast Cancer: What Does the Evidence Say with Dr. Corinne Menn | 07 Mar 2026 | 00:54:52 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! Episode 27: Hormone Therapy After Breast Cancer: What Does the Evidence Say? In Episode 27 of the MenopauseWize Podcast, Dr. Sukhpreet Patel is joined by Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB-GYN, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and a 24-year breast cancer survivor, to explore one of the most complex and emotionally charged topics in menopause care: hormone therapy after breast cancer. For many women, surviving breast cancer is only part of the journey. The very treatments that save lives can abruptly trigger menopause — often with severe hot flashes, sleep disruption, anxiety, sexual pain, vaginal dryness, and profound changes in quality of life. Yet when it comes to hormone therapy, the conversation often ends quickly with a simple and definitive “no.” But is the evidence truly that black and white? In this thoughtful and evidence-based discussion, Dr. Menn helps us unpack: • The difference between ER-positive and ER-negative breast cancer Dr. Menn brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to this conversation as a breast cancer survivor and BRCA carrier. Through her telehealth practice and educational platform, she focuses on menopause management and the unique healthcare needs of female cancer survivors and women at high risk for breast cancer. This episode reinforces an essential message: the answer is not simplistic. It depends on receptor status, type of endocrine therapy, timing, symptom severity, and individual risk. Most importantly, it requires informed, shared decision-making. Breast cancer survivors deserve not only longevity — they deserve quality of life.

| Hormone Therapy and Bone Health: Is Prevention Better than Treatment with Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein | 13 Feb 2026 | 00:33:18 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! In this episode of the MenopauseWize Podcast, Dr. Sukhpreet Patel is joined by Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein, orthopaedic surgeon, sports medicine specialist, Associate Professor at Duke University School of Medicine, and author of The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan, for an in-depth conversation on bone health during menopause. Bone loss begins silently — often years before a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis is made. Many women only discover an issue after a fracture or a low T-score on a DEXA scan. So what is really happening inside our bones during the menopause transition? Dr. Wittstein walks us through:
This episode explores the nuance behind bone prevention versus bone treatment — and why timing, risk profile, and long-term planning matter.

| Diagnosing Perimenopause: Practical Clarity in a Foggy Transition with Dr. Suzanne Gilber-Lenz | 27 Dec 2025 | 00:33:24 | |
Have something to share? Send us a text! Diagnosing Perimenopause: Practical Clarity in a Foggy Transition In this episode of the MenopauseWize Podcast, Dr. Sukhpreet Patel is joined by Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, a renowned OB-GYN, menopause expert, and advocate for women’s midlife health, to unpack one of the most overlooked and misunderstood stages of a woman’s life: perimenopause. Despite affecting millions of women, perimenopause is still frequently missed, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. Many women are told their symptoms are due to stress, anxiety, aging, or lifestyle, often after being reassured that their blood tests are “normal.” In this conversation, Dr. Gilberg-Lenz explains why perimenopause is fundamentally a clinical diagnosis, not a lab diagnosis, and why relying on hormone levels alone can lead to delayed care and unnecessary suffering. Together, we explore how fluctuating hormones drive a wide range of symptoms, from irregular periods and sleep disruption to mood changes, brain fog, weight shifts, and changes in sexual health. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz shares how clinicians can recognize perimenopause earlier, what questions truly matter in the consultation room, and how validating a woman’s experience is often the first and most powerful step in care. This episode is essential listening for women who suspect they may be in perimenopause and for healthcare providers who want to diagnose earlier, listen better, and offer more effective, evidence-based support. Key Topics Covered:
This episode empowers women to trust their symptoms, ask better questions, and seek care that reflects the realities of midlife hormonal change.

Have something to share? Send us a text! In this episode of the MenopauseWize Podcast, Dr. Sukhpreet Patel sits down with Dr. Shafeena Premji, a nationally recognized menopause expert and founder of multiple women-centered clinics in Calgary, including the upcoming Milestone Menopause Centre of Southern Alberta. Known for her ability to translate evidence into compassionate, accessible care, Dr. Premji helps us unpack one of the biggest regulatory shifts in women’s health in years: the FDA’s removal of the Black Box Warning from estrogen products. For decades, the Black Box Warning shaped public perception, prescribing patterns, and women’s fear of hormone therapy. But what exactly was this warning? Why was it applied broadly to all estrogen formulations, from low-dose vaginal estrogen to systemic hormone therapy? And now that the warning is being removed from all estrogen products, what does this change actually mean for women, for clinicians, and for safer, evidence-based menopause care? Dr. Premji brings clarity to the science, explains the differences between systemic and vaginal estrogen, discusses age and timing of initiation, and offers practical guidance for women who are wondering how to interpret this shift. Whether you're a clinician navigating counselling conversations or a woman seeking accurate information amidst the noise, this episode will equip you with the facts, the nuance, and the confidence to make informed decisions about hormone therapy in midlife and beyond.
