In this episode, we’re diving deep into an important yet often overlooked topic—vaginal health. Dr. Sarah Wilson, Dr. Michelle, and Dr. Maryellen discuss all things related to vaginal discharge, infections, and how to understand what’s normal versus what might require medical attention. If you’ve ever wondered about your vaginal health but felt too shy or uncomfortable to ask, this episode is for you.

The conversation covers a wide range of topics, from understanding the natural cycle of vaginal discharge to tackling taboo subjects like vaginal infections, libido, and even pain during intercourse. The doctors break down complex health issues like bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, and how stress, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors, including birth control, affect your vaginal microbiome. They also dive into how partners can influence your vaginal health and the importance of washing menstrual cups and sex toys.

Season 1 · Episode 7

Thursday, October 31, 2024 • Duration 39:38

In this episode of The Advanced Women's Health Podcast, we dive into a sensitive yet vital topic: pain with intercourse, also known medically as dyspareunia. Dr. Sarah is joined by Dr. Lauryn and Dr. Aless for a candid discussion about the complexities behind this issue and how it's far more common than most realize.

Whether the pain is at the point of insertion or due to deep penetration, it often indicates underlying health concerns such as hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, infections, or even stress-related pelvic floor issues. Pain with intercourse is not something you should “just live with”—and this episode is all about normalizing the conversation while offering actionable solutions for those suffering in silence.

We explore:

The different types of pain during intercourse and their underlying causes, from hormonal imbalances to physical conditions like endometriosis or vaginismus.
The connection between pelvic pain and emotional health, particularly how stress and trauma can exacerbate the condition.
Why lubricants and pelvic floor therapy can be helpful, especially for postpartum and perimenopausal women.
The importance of asking your practitioner detailed questions about pain with sex and how this "cardinal symptom" can lead to more comprehensive health diagnostics.

Dr. Sarah and her colleagues break down complex medical terms into simple language and reassure listeners that they are not alone in their experiences. They discuss real-world examples from their practices and how they guide their patients through treatment options.

Episode 10: Understanding PMS vs. PMDD with Dr. Alessandra Autieri, ND

Season 1 · Episode 10

Thursday, November 21, 2024 • Duration 37:06

Today, we’re diving deep into the differences between PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) with Dr. Alessandra Autieri. We explore the realities of these conditions, from the overlooked mental health impact to how these symptoms influence every part of a woman’s life. Dr. Aless shares why she’s passionate about supporting women through these challenges and what makes her approach unique in treating not just hormones but the underlying causes that often go undetected. If you’re ready to better understand how PMS and PMDD affect the brain, gut, inflammation, and more—and to feel empowered about finding sustainable solutions—this is the episode for you!

Top 3 Highlights from This Episode

The Complex Causes Behind PMS and PMDD

Dr. Aless discusses how PMS and PMDD often go beyond hormone fluctuations. Instead of focusing solely on estrogen, she explains why blood sugar, insulin, inflammation, and neurotransmitters play key roles in the severity of symptoms. She shares why addressing these root causes can help women find lasting relief from what’s too often dismissed as “just mood swings.”

Why Women Normalize Symptoms—and Why They Shouldn’t

Too often, women have been taught to accept severe PMS or PMDD as part of life, leading them to apologize for their symptoms rather than seek help. Dr. Aless talks about why this normalization is so damaging and how Advanced Women’s Health works to support women in understanding their symptoms are valid and treatable. This conversation offers a powerful reminder that women should never feel guilty for prioritizing their well-being.

Customized Testing for Inflammation and Mental Health

Dr. Aless explains the tests she uses to identify inflammation and other underlying factors that drive PMDD symptoms. From ESR and CRP to ferritin levels, she covers why simple, affordable tests can reveal key insights into what might be causing mood swings, fatigue, and more. This segment is a helpful guide for listeners who may not realize how accessible testing can be to transform their health

Episode 9: Understanding Insulin Resistance: A Holistic Approach to Women’s Health with Dr. Sarah Wilson

Season 1 · Episode 9

Thursday, November 14, 2024 • Duration 29:49

In this episode of the Advanced Women’s Health Podcast, we’re diving deep into the complex world of insulin resistance and its powerful impact on women’s health. I’m sharing my own story of overcoming weight loss resistance and how my personal journey inspired me to specialize in insulin and metabolic health. We’ll break down how insulin works, why high levels can wreak havoc on everything from weight management and energy to skin health and hormone balance, and why the root of insulin resistance often lies in inflammation, stress, and even the gut microbiome. So, if you’re tired of trying every diet and still not seeing results, this episode is for you!

Join me as we unpack what insulin resistance truly means, why it’s about more than just “eating right,” and how a holistic, data-driven approach can lead to lasting health.

Top 3 Highlights from This Episode

A Personal Journey from Weight Struggles to Insulin Expertise

I share my personal battle with weight loss resistance and how it led me to research insulin, inflammation, and their roles in metabolic health. This journey helped me understand why weight issues often aren’t just about diet and exercise, but a complex interplay of hormones, inflammation, and other factors.

What Insulin Resistance Really Is – And Why It’s Not About Diet Alone

We dive into the science behind insulin resistance, exploring how insulin functions, why it’s so sensitive to your lifestyle and environment, and why constantly high insulin can lead to stubborn weight gain, hormonal imbalances, skin issues, and more. I’ll explain why restrictive diets or frequent snacking can worsen insulin resistance and the benefits of a balanced, data-driven approach.

The Role of Gut Health, Inflammation, and Stress in Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance doesn’t happen in isolation! I discuss how factors like gut health, liver function, and chronic stress impact insulin and lead to a vicious cycle of inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. From adjusting meal timing to incorporating fiber and colors in your diet, we discuss holistic strategies to reset your metabolism and support your body.
