  • Must listen Podcast for Women

    Very informative podcast for women as they approach menopause. I appreciate the incredibly informational dialogue regarding treatments. I will be much better prepared for my next doctor appointment. Even though I’m not a healthcare professional, I listened to the CME podcasts too. It’s evident these doctors truly care about the well-being of their patients.

  • Amazing Podcast!

    The Speaking of Women’s Health Podcast exceeded expectations on every level! The first episode was not only extremely informative about women’s health issues in general, but it provided listeners with very specific and useful information regarding the salience of maintaining an appropriate iron level and the ways in which to achieve the same! As the mother of a toddler who is not in the medical profession, I had no idea how significant maintaining an appropriate iron level is for infants, toddle... more

  • Women’s Health Info We NEED!

    In a non-preaching manner, Dr. Thacker tells us why we need iron & how easy it is to get in iron-rich foods we already enjoy. Her voice is soothing & instructive. And her tales supplement the material with a bit of levity. The podcast is just the right amount of time at 30 minutes. Be sure to listen & subscribe.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chronic Pelvic Pain Is A Nervous System Problem As Much As A Pelvic One
Q: Tell us your story about what you were interested in when you were in medical school and how you came to this field.
Dr. Gubbels describes a journey from neurology to surgery and obstetrics, ultimately finding a fit in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and chronic pelvic pain, where she combined surgical skills with neurology, psychiatry, and pelvic floor therapies to treat complex pain conditions.
Navigating Menopause and Hormone Therapy After Breast Cancer with Dr. Corinne Menn
Q: Are vaginal hormones safe for women with a history of breast cancer or on breast cancer therapies?
Yes, vaginal hormones have a substantial evidence base supporting safety and should be discussed explicitly as part of a comprehensive management plan, not dismissed as mere 'dryness.'
Navigating Menopause and Hormone Therapy After Breast Cancer with Dr. Corinne Menn
Q: What makes communication about menopause after breast cancer particularly challenging for patients?
Patients often see multiple physicians and encounter fear-based messaging; the episode emphasizes building bridges among oncologists, gynecologists, and other specialists, and using shared decision making to tailor safe, effective options.
Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy and How To Manage It
Q: What is peripheral neuropathy, and how does it typically present?
It affects the far-flung nerves first, usually starting in the feet with numbness and tingling, then progressing to motor symptoms like gait instability, and often appearing symmetrically.
Why Your Symptoms Matter More Than Your Hormone Numbers
Q: What is the best way to approach hormone therapy and other options?
Hormone therapy should be individualized, balancing estrogen and progesterone and considering patient preferences, symptoms, and risks; many patients benefit from regimens that stabilize fluctuations, with emphasis on FDA-approved options and shared decision-making with a clinician.
