episode 13: cutting through the bullsh*t

In our final episode of our 4-part series featuring the best physicians and clinicians in menopause care, we get into it with the Gold Standard gals of Menopause Care—OB/GYNs and hosts of the incredible podcast, Ovary Active -  Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch. This is a real Master Class in nuance of perimenopause care. The Doctors share their collective wisdom regarding birth control vs Menopausal Hormone Therapy, and we also discuss why the magical claims around Hormone Therapy and Longevity may be misleading (or just untrue). Learn what hormones really CAN do for you and what they really CAN'T. There's a lot of noise out there in the "MENOsphere",  and these ladies are here to decode what's real information and what's just wishful thinking.  

episode 12: nobody ever told us

In the 2nd half of the 2-part episode on Coming of Rage, we are joined by Dr. Brie Woodruff, DNP, ARNP. In Part One, we discuss the challenges women face in understanding their bodies and cycles, the symptoms of perimenopause, and using hormone therapy (and alternatives) to treat some of the peskier perimenopausal symptoms, while also addressing integrative care for women in midlife. In Part B, we dive into the hot topic of testosterone (for both women and men) and also what the WHI - Women's Health Initiative - revealed about using synthetic hormones in menopausal women. Dr. Woodruff is both a Seattle University faculty member teaching in the Doctoral Family Nurse Practitioner program and a practicing clinician in West Seattle at Neighborhood Naturopathic.

are you mad at us?

Oh, phew! Ok, well, would you be a doll and share with us your "Is it MENOPAUSE or is it MEN" anecdotes? Did your pocket get caught on a drawer pull and you contemplated murder? Did someone sneeze too loudly in your vicinity and you needed to do some deep breathing?

Is it perimenopause or is it just the hellscape of the patriarchy?

Please tell us! We'll love you forever!
