  • Inauthentic and Misleading

    Can’t take her seriously speaking on aging when on the social she is desperate to not age gracefully promoting fillers and Botox isn’t someone who is looking to age gracefully. She’s comes across unlikable and inauthentic and not at all knowledgeable on the matter of aging

  • Jan Arden… A powerful and honest conversation

    I just listened to your podcast episode with Jan Arden, and I felt compelled to write a review. I listen to all of your podcasts faithfully, often re-listening and sharing them, but this episode touched me so profoundly. It was real, raw, and deeply moving.

    Jan Arden, thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. And Melissa G., thank you for your advocacy and for the incredible work you do bringing these conversations to women everywhere. This episode truly stayed with me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

4.5 - THE POWER PANEL, Part 1: Hormones, Hype and the Hard Truth
Q: Is menopause hormone therapy the first line and best option that should be offered to every single woman who needs it?
The panel describes hormone therapy as an effective option for some people, especially for hot flashes and night sweats, but not a universal treatment. They emphasize individual assessment, alternatives, and lifestyle factors, and caution against unsupported claims about dementia prevention or body composition.
4.5 - THE POWER PANEL, Part 1: Hormones, Hype and the Hard Truth
Q: Most doctors are not properly trained in menopause care, and women are paying the price. What do you make of this statement?
Sheila Wijayasinghe says inadequate training has created a substantial care gap, though education efforts are underway. Amanda Thebe adds that some poor care reflects gaps in clinicians' knowledge rather than deliberate medical gaslighting.
4.4 - MENOPAUSE 2026: What's Changed, What Hasn't and What You Need To Know Today to Thrive
Q: Is hormone therapy a magic hormone that's going to fix all of that?
No. Testosterone is indicated for a specific diagnosis involving persistent, distressing low sexual desire, after considering factors such as medications, mood, relationship issues and painful sex. Evidence does not support claims that it improves muscle mass or cognition.
4.4 - MENOPAUSE 2026: What's Changed, What Hasn't and What You Need To Know Today to Thrive
Q: Is there a test that tells somebody they are in perimenopause or not?
For most people with a uterus and a menstrual history, diagnosis relies on symptoms and history rather than blood testing. Tests may help in specific cases, such as after uterine ablation, with a hormonal IUD, or when early menopause is suspected.
83. Summer Skin Survival Guide: What You Need To Know with Dr. Lisa Kellett
Q: As a listener, what is the most important thing to start with for a spring/summer skin routine?
Prioritize health and protection by seeing a dermatologist to ensure skin is healthy, establish a baseline, and then build an at-home regimen that includes regular cleansing, vitamin C in the morning, sunscreen, and a daytime moisturizer.
