  • Do Not Skip This Podcast!

    I have been listening to this podcast for about 6 months and every episode has something my girlfriends have been discussing. I’ve sent countless episodes to friends and family members in ALL CAPS and !!!!!! For women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and so on, you will find episodes that are so important. Frankly, the men should be listening up too! We aren’t crazy!! Thank you so much for making this education available to everyone!

    I appreciate much of the information shared here. It would be nice if MCH would get some instruction on how to interview. It’s hard to listen to her interrupt and flex so much.

  • Oh, The ADHD Irony!!

    I really wanted to hear Dr. Sasha Hamdani, MD speak about ADHD, but Mary Claire made the podcast a frustrating ADHD experience! She talked over Dr. Sasha the entire podcast. She constantly interrupted and finished her sentences. Perhaps Mary Claire has ADHD? Let the experts talk! Oh wait, Mary Claire does not discriminate, she does it with every single guest. This shows poor pausing/listening skills, indiscipline, and disrespect for the expert. It also makes Mary Claire’s shows super difficult t... more

  • Husbands/Partners

    I’ve experienced just about every symptom listed in menopause, except the famous hot flash. I’ve probably created a new one! Sadly, without any empathy or understanding of the person who should support me. After all, I’m a woman; it's part of being a woman and aging, isn't it? Dr Mary Claire and her work have honestly saved me from the depths of despair. If only some husbands and partners would ld actually have the heart to listen to these podcasts.

  • Thank You

    Just started listening a couple weeks ago. I was full-blown crying during just the first episode. So many symptoms that I did not realize were perimenopause or menopause related. I had not even thought to bring them up to my GYN because I didn’t realize that they were related. I did bring them up to other doctors who all dismissed me as it just being me getting older. I’ve scheduled a new appointment with my GYN now to go over all of the symptoms that I thought were “just aging” but are more per... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Told You Can Never Take Estrogen? HRT After Breast Cancer
Q: Who should genuinely not be on systemic hormone therapy, at least during what time period?
Teplinsky says systemic hormones may be inappropriate soon after diagnosis, particularly for hormone receptor-positive cancers and patients with high recurrence risk. She emphasizes that treatment timing depends on factors such as stage, tumor characteristics, treatment, symptoms, and individual risk.
Told You Can Never Take Estrogen? HRT After Breast Cancer
Q: What should a breast cancer survivor say when asking her oncologist about systemic hormone replacement therapy?
Teplinsky advises her to describe her symptoms and their impact without minimizing them, request an individualized discussion of systemic hormone therapy, and ask how it could affect her recurrence risk given her cancer characteristics and prior treatments. If the clinician is unsure, she should ask for a referral to someone who can help.
Dense Breasts, Family History and Your Mammogram: How to Know your Real Risk
Q: So should I be getting an MRI?
People with dense breasts should discuss supplemental imaging with their medical team. MRI may be recommended when lifetime risk is 20% or higher, and it is recommended for extremely dense breasts; decisions for heterogeneously dense breasts depend on individual risk and circumstances.
Dense Breasts, Family History and Your Mammogram: How to Know your Real Risk
Q: So who should be having genetic testing?
Teplinsky recommends starting with breast cancer risk assessment at age 25. Family history, including patterns across both sides of the family and multiple generations, can help identify who may need genetic counseling and testing.
Bladder Leaks, UTIs & Pelvic Floor Health with the Vagina Whisperer
Q: What is the difference between stress leakage and urgency leakage?
Stress incontinence occurs when pressure from coughing, sneezing, or jumping overcomes pelvic support. Urge incontinence involves a sudden urge and uncontrolled bladder contractions, sometimes triggered by running water or arriving home.
