  • CHEK2 and menopause

    Thank you both for this wonderful podcast. Can you address the issue of CHEK2 gene mutation and late onset menopause. I don’t see much information about this. Appreciate you both so much.

  • Best Pod for Women of a Certain Age

    I love this podcast so much. Listening to it has made me feel so much more empowered when talking to my doctor about my symptom. Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I love how the hosts speak frankly and don’t ’dumb things down’ but at the same time make it easy to understand. I also love the length of the episode, it makes the info manageable and not overwhelming. I recommend this pod to everyone, even to my doctor and his med students.

  • A must listen for those in perimenopause and better yet before it begins!

    This show is a wealth of knowledge about the female body and perimenopause. While I did not start listening until perimenopause had hit it is knowledge every woman should have. The hosts are funny, caring and informative.

  • The BEST podcast!

    I am an OBGYN and I am absolutely obsessed with this podcast! Filled with so much great information, I’ve really learned so much. Plus Dr. Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Voedisch are hilarious and amazing! I want them to be my mentors because truly, they are wonderful. A must listen for anyone who treats perimenopause/menopause, but is also going through it!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 43 | A Terrible Strength: Dr. Kemi Doll on Black Women, Perimenopause, and the Womb Care We're Still Getting Wrong
Q: What has been the impact of storytelling on clinical practice?
Stories from patients help clinicians see beyond numbers and lab values, prompting more thorough histories, better communication, and a personalized approach to care.
Ep 43 | A Terrible Strength: Dr. Kemi Doll on Black Women, Perimenopause, and the Womb Care We're Still Getting Wrong
Q: Why is there a push to rebrand birth control in your discussion?
They argue that the term birth control narrows the perceived use of hormonal therapies and obscures their broader applications in treating conditions like endometriosis and fibroids, especially for Black women.
Ep 43 | A Terrible Strength: Dr. Kemi Doll on Black Women, Perimenopause, and the Womb Care We're Still Getting Wrong
Q: What inspired the structure of your book and why include women's stories?
The authors describe that narrative helps connect patients to evidence, making complex medical information relatable and actionable, as well as highlighting real-world care patterns.
Ep 43 | A Terrible Strength: Dr. Kemi Doll on Black Women, Perimenopause, and the Womb Care We're Still Getting Wrong
Q: Can you describe how your work reframes Black women's womb health beyond maternal mortality?
Dr. Doll explains that the issue spans the entire life course, not just pregnancy, and she emphasizes connecting stories with data to reveal systemic disparities and the everyday neglect Black women face in gynecologic care.
Ep 41 | Brain Docs, Part 2: Brain Fog, Dementia Fears, & Perimenopause
Q: Should people routinely test for ApoE4 to assess dementia risk?
ApoE4 increases risk but is not determinative; testing can be optional and context-dependent. If pursued, it should be accompanied by a plan to address modifiable factors (lipids, exercise, blood pressure, etc.) rather than assuming a clear preventive path from the test alone.
