This episode examines how hormonal changes, such as decreased estrogen levels, may affect skin elasticity, immune response, and overall vulnerability to damage.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection that can affect women of all ages, including those in midlife. Over 42 million people are infected with the HPV virus in the US alone. At least 80% of sexually active women will have been infected with HPV at some point in their lives, and at least 4 out of every 5 women will have been infected by age 50. Most HPV infections clear up on their own within a couple of years, but high-risk HPV infections that persist can lead to cancer, including cervical cancer, cancer of the vagina, vulva, and anus in women. About half of all cervical cancer cases occur in women over 50, and more than 20% are found in women over 65. These cancers are rare in women who have had regular cervical cancer screenings before age 65. There are 4,000 deaths every year from cervical cancer and it is preventable. One issue is that many women who are past menopause stop seeing their OBGYNs on an annual basis, meaning that they are not continuing to be screened. My guest today will share an incredible amount of information on HPV, including how to strengthen our immune system to clear the virus, how our gut and vaginal microbiomes affect our immune system, the importance of micronutrient status on a cellular level, different protocols to follow to clear the virus, and what screening should look like for you. Mindfulness also plays a pivotal role in supporting menopausal women in clearing HPV and promoting overall health. Stress has been shown to weaken the immune system, making it harder for the body to combat persistent HPV infections. By fostering a calm state and reducing chronic stress, mindfulness practices such as meditation and deep breathing can enhance immune function, potentially aiding in the clearance of HPV. Additionally, mindfulness helps women cultivate greater body awareness and resilience during menopause, a time of significant hormonal and emotional changes. This holistic approach empowers women to take proactive steps in supporting their well-being, including prioritizing immune health. Consider this episode Part 3 in my mindfulness series as it relates to chronic disease and infections.

For over 24 years, Dr. Doni has been in clinical practice and has raised awareness of the impact of stress and trauma on our health and how it is possible to recover and become resilient to stress. Dr. Doni suffered from migraines for many years, and in the process of solving them, she developed her Stress Recovery Protocol®.

Perimenopause is a transitional phase that marks the beginning of a woman’s journey toward menopause, often starting in the late 40s, but could start as early as mid-30s. As hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, begin to fluctuate, women experience a variety of symptoms, including weight gain. This weight gain is often due to hormonal changes that affect metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and fat distribution, particularly around the abdomen. This weight gain during perimenopause not only affects physical appearance and one’s confidence but also has important implications for long-term health and longevity. Increased abdominal fat is linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, conditions that can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life and lifespan. Addressing weight gain during perimenopause is not just about aesthetics—it's about prioritizing long-term health. Making mindful, sustainable lifestyle changes can improve not only how women feel today but also enhance their overall longevity, supporting a more vibrant, healthy future. Health coaches can help you on your menopause journey to figure out what your unique health equation is, alongside your doctors. My guest today is Dr. Heather Quaile, a double board-certified, women’s and gender health nurse practitioner and advanced forensic nurse specializing in human trafficking and female sexual health. She is a thought leader and creator of the Just Ask podcast. Dr. Quaile is also trained and certified as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Dr. Quaile has been working in all aspects of women’s healthcare for over 23 years caring for women of all ages across the health-illness continuum and recognized the lack of sexual health awareness not just in her community but in its providers. She founded, developed, and implemented her private practice The Sexual Health Optimization and Wellness (SHOW) Center. Her goal is to help guide patients through their healthcare journey and provide a range of services that address the biopsychosocial aspects of health, wellness, optimization, and sexuality. She is a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH) and a Fellow of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

Many women experience changes in their sexual health and desire during menopause due to hormonal shifts. Still, this phase of life doesn’t have to mark the end of a satisfying and pleasurable sexual experience. Instead, menopause can be a time of exploration and rediscovery, where women redefine intimacy on their own terms. In this episode, we’ll break down how menopause affects sexual pleasure and what women can do to enhance their sexual well-being without feeling limited by these changes.A couple of key aspects we’ll discuss are the anatomy of the vulva and vagina, and how the decline in estrogen levels during menopause can lead to vaginal dryness, reduced libido, and discomfort during intercourse. These changes are normal, but they don’t have to diminish a woman’s sexual satisfaction. We’ll explore non-hormonal solutions, such as natural lubricants, pelvic floor exercises, sex therapists, the use of sex-positive toys, and the role of mindfulness practices like meditation and breathwork in rekindling desire. If you've never used a vibrator, Dr. Sophocles shares her beginner strategies. We’ll also touch on the importance of communication with partners during this time to maintain a healthy and fulfilling sexual relationship, despite the physical changes happening.Dr. Maria Sophocles, MD is a gynecologist whose mission is to address gender inequality in the bedroom -- what she terms "The Bedroom Gap" -- by educating men and women about the sexual changes of menopause, and by fostering open conversations around female sexuality. She believes sex should be about pleasure as well as procreation and that we remain rather universally trapped in a centuries-old model of sex for male pleasure. As a gynecologist, she is well-informed about how women's bodies age, and how the sexual effects of menopause are neither understood nor discussed. Having talked with and treated women worldwide, she knows this "broken, dried up" feeling midlife women develop is universal. She is a board-certified member of the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, holds formal certification as a Menopause Expert from The Menopause Society, and is a fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health. She has been named a fellow of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Diseases for her contributions to gynecology.

Menopause is getting the spotlight it deserves. Gut health is not far behind. The science is clear, women’s gut microbiomes change during peri-menopause and look a lot like men’s gut microbiomes. During menopause, women experience a laundry list of physiological hormonal changes. How do these changes impact gut health—and how does gut health, in turn, influence the menopause experience?The balance of estrogen and progesterone shifts, leading to changes in the gut microbiome. This fragile ecosystem of bacteria in your digestive tract plays a crucial role in digestion and regulating hormones, supporting the immune system, and even affecting mental health. As estrogen levels take a massive dip, the diversity of gut bacteria can decrease, leading to issues like bloating, weight gain, brain fog, increased anxiety, sleep issues, and even increased inflammation.This episode explores how maintaining a healthy gut can ease some of the common symptoms of menopause. Practical strategies for supporting your gut health through diet, lifestyle changes, and possibly even supplements are offered to you. Whether you’re currently navigating menopause or preparing for it, understanding the connection between gut health and hormonal balance is key to thriving during this transition.We cover the following:-how hormones affect the gut microbiome-why menopausal women lose microbial diversity and what to do about it-why Akkermansia is a superstar and its relationship to weight loss, appetite, and blood glucose regulation-bone health and Osteoporosis-what the estrobolome is and how to support it-travel constipation-optimal nutrition for gut healthKara Siedman is back to talk about menopause and gut health. You may have listened to our previous podcast on stool testing and the importance of personalizing your gut health protocol. Kara is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, and Senior Manager of Scientific Communications at Pendulum. Throughout her career, Kara has worked across diverse healthcare settings, from inpatient care to launching multiple outpatient programs in both diabetes management and gastroenterology. Her expertise lies in integrating functional and integrative approaches, particularly in the fields of gastroenterology and metabolic health.

As women enter their 40s and 50s, the chances of experiencing hair thinning or significant hair loss increase due to various factors, including hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and even nutritional deficiencies. Hair is often closely tied to identity and self-confidence, so these changes can feel particularly unsettling. In episode #87 we’ll delve into the root causes of hair loss during midlife. From the hormonal fluctuations of menopause, which can lead to conditions like androgenetic alopecia, to the impact of stress and lifestyle choices, we’ll explore why these factors play such a significant role.

Up to 70% of post-menopausal women experience hair loss, hair thinning, widening of the part, or a receding hairline. Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is an effective treatment for female hair loss that has gained attention due to its non-invasive nature and promising results. This therapy involves exposing the scalp to red light wavelengths, typically 630-670 nanometers. The light penetrates the skin and stimulates the hair follicles, encouraging increased blood flow and cellular respiration. This process helps to prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, leading to thicker, fuller hair. Red light therapy is particularly appealing for women experiencing androgenetic alopecia or general thinning, as it offers a drug-free alternative with minimal side effects.Clinical studies have shown that red light therapy can effectively improve hair density and thickness in women. A key benefit of this treatment is its safety profile—red light therapy does not carry the risk of systemic side effects. Devices used for this therapy range from in-clinic treatments to at-home devices such as caps, combs, and helmets equipped with LEDs or laser diodes. The convenience and accessibility of these devices make red light therapy an attractive option for midlife women seeking to address hair loss. It's important to note that the degree of effectiveness varies based on individual factors, and consistent use is necessary to maintain results.Dr. Michael Rabin, MD, is the CEO and President of LaserCap Company and shares his expertise on the science behind red light therapy for hair growth. We also discuss using red light therapy as a mono-therapy versus a combined therapy approach to growing hair, what types of at-home devices are currently on the market, and how to purchase a device that best suits your budget and goals.Medical Disclaimer:By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice or to make any lifestyle changes to treat any medical condition in yourself or others.
