Podcasts about dryness

This episode started with a question I get constantly. Why is my routine not working anymore? The products are good. The consistency is there. But the skin is not responding the way it used to. More dullness. More puffiness. More fine lines despite the retinol. Here is what most of the skincare conversation is missing: your skin is not a surface problem. It is an output. A real-time signal of what is happening inside your hormonal system. And your bloodwork is the decoder. In this episode, I walk through four specific lab markers that directly control what your menopause skin does: estrogen, free T3, cortisol, and ferritin. Each one maps to a skin symptom you are probably already seeing in the mirror. Dryness and collagen loss. Estrogen. Stubborn dullness that no exfoliant fixes. Free T3. Fine lines that retinol cannot hold. Cortisol. Dark circles that no eye cream touches. Ferritin. These are not random. They are specific. And once you know what to look for, you stop blaming your products and start asking better questions. Your hormones are the primer. Your products are the paint. Paint on an unprimed surface looks beautiful for a day and then lifts. That is exactly what is happening for a lot of women in menopause, and it has nothing to do with the products they chose. This episode is the overview. The in-depth version, with the specific markers to request, what optimal ranges look like for skin health, and how to build a recalibration protocol around your results, lives inside the Skin Scholar Society on Substack. The Skin Scholar Society is where I publish the research, the protocols, and the education that goes deeper than a single episode can hold.

Good overall health for women requires good vaginal health.  Good vaginal health requires your lube to be made of high quality ingredients.   This is applicable for all women using lube vaginally, but especially around the time of perimenopause when vaginal dryness becomes more common, vaginal pH often starts to shift, the vaginal microbiome often changes and risk of infections goes up.  Most lubes can make all of those things worse, not to mention introducing toxins into your systemic circulation.  It's time to become more discerning about your lube ingredients.  The typical ones sold in grocery stores are not good enough for you.Reminder of our criteria we require our lube to meet: 1- Won't raise your vaginal pH 2- Won't alter your microbiome 3- Is isosmotic (matters for water based only)4- Doesn't contain any harmful ingredients (ie. any type of paraben, chlorhexidine gluconate, nonoxonol 9, propylene glycol, glycerin, fragrances, petroleum based oils, quaternium 15, polyquaternium 15, benzocaine, menthol, or any type of sugar)  Sex therapist Amanda Louder's podcast notes that list pH of different lubes and osmolality of different lubes:  https://amandalouder.com/podcast/295/ Dr. Anna Cabeca's waitlist for her lube, VelvėHer daily vaginal moisturizer with DHEA, Julva: $60.16Brands mentioned on “The Good List” of this episode:Coconu - both water based and oil based lubes $23Uberlube - silicone based $22Sutil - Especially promoted to women with a drop in estrogen $18Good Clean Love $15Aloe Cadabara flavored and unflavored $10Desert Harvest $22Sliquid $22My website: www.healthcouragecollective.com - let's hang out and get you confident and at peace about your hormone health and on track to not have to stop living before you die!Are you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!Join the Waitlist HereCome visit me: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

Infinite Lubricity The Fluid of Salvation (Greasepolis, Book 9) By Otto Handley Narrated by Gregory Dwyer In the surreal academic landscape of Tumbarumba, history professor Stella Pontifex discovers that grease is not merely a culinary byproduct but a metaphysical archive of human memory. As the world suffers from “The Great Sizzle” and a subsequent “thinning” of reality known as attenuation, Stella is contacted by the spirits of legendary Grease Prophets like Frank and Glen. These apparitions warn her that corporate interests and a fanatical cult, the Way of Dryness, are draining the universe of its viscosity and historical depth. To prevent existence from becoming a brittle, unseasoned husk, Stella must travel through bureaucratic afterlives and commercialised voids to understand how to preserve cosmic lubricity. Ultimately, she becomes a quiet custodian of memory, using her scholarly discipline to mend the shimmering currents of a world threatened by spiritual evaporation.

It's time we have a "downstairs" heart-to-heart! In this episode, Dr. Jen breaks the silence on pelvic health, moving past the idea that dryness, leaking, or a "dead" libido is just a normal part of being a woman. Whether you are navigating puberty, preparing for birth, or thriving in post-menopause, your pelvic floor is the foundation of your vitality. Dr. Jen simplifies the science of bioidentical hormones and clean botanicals, sharing her signature 10-second daily ritual to help you feel juicy, strong, and empowered in your body again. Themes: Why we need to stop accepting pelvic discomfort, prolapse, and low sensation as inevitable parts of aging. How compounded pelvic floor ointments provide targeted healing without disrupting your systemic hormone balance. The role of Wild Yam and high-frequency herbs in supporting progesterone pathways and tissue resilience. Simple lifestyle "pro-tips"—from vibration plates to red light therapy—that invite blood flow back to your pelvic tissues. Understanding the pelvic floor as a "trauma bank" and why nervous system safety is the missing piece for libido and healing.   Connect with Jen: 

Explore the alliance between fishermen and environmentalists that is reshaping the industry and safeguarding marine life.On the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast, host David Helvarg and co-host Vicki Nichols Goldstein sit down with James Workman and Amanda Leland, co-authors of Sea Change – Unlikely Allies and a Success Story of Oceanic Proportions — a book that makes a convincing case that empowering fishermen to work together, even as they compete, can create miracles.Workman brings the instincts of an award-winning journalist and entrepreneur to the conversation, having already explored humanity's most elemental struggles in his earlier work, Heart of Dryness. Leland came to the sea the way many do — through a grandfather and a fishing line at age five — and never left. Today she serves as Executive Director of the Environmental Defense Fund, the international nonprofit working to align healthy communities and economies with the hard realities of a changing climate.Together, they dig into the market-based system known as catch share fishing: what it is, how it's reshaping the destructive race toward overfishing in U.S. waters, and why it may be one of the most promising tools we have for getting this right on a global scale. They also explore the human cost baked into commercial fishing — still one of the deadliest jobs on earth — and how catch shares are changing those odds. And they explain their choice to tell this sweeping story through the life of one rugged Gulf Coast fisherman named Buddy, a narrative anchor that grounds the policy and the science in salt, sweat and consequence.All of it plays out against the backdrop of a rapidly warming, rapidly changing ocean — and what that means for the millions of people whose dinner plates depend on getting this right.A story of hope, hard-won transformation and new challenges. Dive in and take an audio bite.Additional Resources Sea Change Book — the captivating, deeply-human tale of how fishermen—along with some unlikely allies—helped carry out the biggest conservation success story you've never heard of.Blue Frontier / Substack — Building the solution-based citizen movement needed to protect our ocean, coasts and communities, both human and wild.Inland Ocean Coalition — Building land-to-sea stewardship - the inland voice for ocean protectionFluid Studios — Thinking radically different about the collective good, our planet, & the future.

In Episode 3 of The Garden of Lent, Sr. Rita and me reflect on two sacred movements of spiritual growth: watering and waiting. Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, we explore how the Holy Spirit nourishes us quietly, precisely, and lovingly — even in dry, delayed, or painful seasons. This episode speaks directly to women who feel weary, forgotten, or impatient with the pace of their own growth.In this episode, we reflect on:- The Holy Spirit as living water- Why waiting is never wasted in God's economy- Trusting God's timing when growth feels hidden- Dryness, suffering, and holy delays- Becoming a well-watered garden in God's timeIf you are waiting for healing, clarity, restoration, or fruit — this conversation is for you.

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John talks about phonation threshold pressure, or PTP, and explains why it may be the hidden factor behind days when your voice feels heavy, effortful, or unpredictable. He breaks down what raises PTP, especially in the aging voice, and shares practical tools like hydration, nebulizing, SOVT exercises, and smart practice habits to bring it back down. When you understand this one number, singing starts to make a lot more sense, and you gain back a sense of control.   Episode highlights: High PTP equals harder singing, low PTP equals easier singing Dryness, stiffness, and atrophy are major drivers of vocal effort as we age Consistent daily exercise helps manage long term stiffness and weakness   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

Blood flow might not sound sexy, but it's the fuel behind satisfying sex. In this live episode from the A4M Longevity Conference in Las Vegas, I sit down with certified nurse practitioner and ⁠Medical Director at GAINSWave, Chrislyn Chaloupka, to discuss how GAINSWave's non-invasive regenerative therapy is reshaping sexual wellness by addressing root causes rather than simply masking symptoms. We dive into why your body might not be responding the way it used to, from erections that fade under pressure to that frustrating gap between wanting sex and your body just not cooperating. Chrislyn breaks down how this painless 15-minute treatment works (that I even tried myself), and we get real about everything from porn-induced desensitization to why erectile challenges can actually be your heart trying to tell you something important. Don't forget to watch the full video podcast on YouTube!  What you'll learn:  • Why "just relax and use more lube" isn't solving your arousal problems—and what actually will  • How shockwave therapy can help with everything from weak orgasms to stress urinary incontinence (yes, the sneeze-and-pee situation)  • The psychological factors that can make even the best physical treatments fail until you address the deeper story This Episode is sponsored by Gainswave.

It's Monday and the week opens with an honest confession many avoid: sometimes your faith feels dry. You pray, you read, you sing, and yet everything feels quiet. This episode welcomes you into that experience and reframes it as a season of hidden growth rather than spiritual defeat. Using Psalm 42:2 — "My soul thirsts for God, for the living God" — the host tells a story of longing that becomes proof of life: thirst shows desire. Dryness becomes a classroom where faith learns steadiness, not fireworks. You'll hear gentle, practical encouragement to stay planted, keep praying in the silence, and trust that roots are strengthening beneath the surface. With a short, grounding prayer and a call to perseverance, this episode is a companion for anyone wondering what's wrong with their faith — and a reminder that deep roots often form before visible fruit appears. Have faith. Let it begin.

How to Break Through a Spiritual Plateau and Start Growing Again Episode Description Have you ever felt stuck in your spiritual life—going through the motions, but missing the passion and freshness you once had? In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob talks about how to start growing again when you've hit a spiritual plateau. Drawing from Hosea 10:12, Rob unpacks the powerful biblical image of breaking up unplowed ground—and what it looks like to let God soften hardened areas of the heart so new growth can take place. Through a memorable personal story, practical spiritual insights, and honest encouragement, this episode will help you recognize when it's time for renewal and how God brings refreshment after repentance. If your faith feels dry, routine, or stalled, this message is for you. Key Scripture Hosea 10:12 "Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you." In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why spiritual growth often slows or stalls over time What "unplowed ground" looks like in the heart How disappointment, routine, and unconfessed sin harden us spiritually Why dryness doesn't mean failure—it means it's time to plow Practical ways to soften your heart again through prayer, fasting, confession, and reflection Why God always brings renewal after repentance How new seasons of growth often come after uncomfortable seasons of change Memorable Moments: A vivid story of turning a thorn-filled blackberry bramble into a fruitful garden Rob's personal experience of spiritual dryness after early zeal as a Christian The promise that God always "sends rain after the plowing" Encouragement for long-time disciples who feel worn down or discouraged Quotes from the Episode: "God always brings rain after the plowing." "Dryness doesn't mean you're failing—it means it's time to dig." "Every new season of growth begins with breaking up hardened ground." Takeaway Spiritual plateaus are not the end of growth—they're often the beginning of a new season. When God starts to plow the heart, it may feel uncomfortable, but it always prepares the soil for deeper grace, renewed passion, and lasting fruit. Let God break up what's grown hard—and watch what He grows next. Resources & Next Steps:

Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity   There's a quiet shift many women notice in midlife that rarely gets talked about in the doctor's office, changes in their mouth. Gums that feel more sensitive. Teeth that suddenly seem fragile. Dryness, inflammation, or dental issues that appear despite "doing everything right." I sat down with Dr. Carlos Melendez, a general dentist and practice owner, to talk about what really happens to oral health during perimenopause and menopause, and why women are so often left without explanation when changes begin. Women are frequently told that dental issues are about hygiene alone, or that worsening gum or tooth problems are just "bad luck." This conversation matters because it reframes oral health as part of whole-body health. When women understand the hormonal and physiological drivers behind these changes, they're empowered to protect not just their smiles, but their overall health as they age.   We examine how this topic shows up in daily life: - How hormonal shifts in menopause affect gum tissue, bone, and oral inflammation - Why dry mouth becomes more common and why it matters for tooth and gum health - The connection between estrogen loss, bone density, and jawbone health - How chronic inflammation in the mouth can impact whole-body health - Why routine dental changes in midlife deserve deeper evaluation, not dismissal - How preventive dental care needs to evolve during perimenopause and menopause - Why collaboration between medical and dental care is essential for aging well About Dr. Carlos Melendez: Dr. Carlos Melendez is a general dentist and practice owner with extensive experience caring for adult patients across all life stages. His work focuses on preventive care, patient education, and understanding how systemic health directly impacts oral health, especially in midlife and beyond.

Have you ever thought about how good your podcast habit is for your health?Today, on Episode #182 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're diving into an everyday ritual you might already love — listening to podcasts — and exploring three powerful ways this simple habit supports your well-being in your Me Now Years.1. Podcasts Support Brain HealthOur brains are overloaded with screens and nonstop visual stimulation. Podcasts offer gentle, nourishing stimulation without the overwhelm.Instead of pulling your attention outward (like with videos), audio draws you inward into a grounded, reflective state.2. Podcasts Give Our Eyes the Rest They're CravingScreens are relentless — and our eyes feel it. Dryness, strain, headaches, and disrupted sleep become more common as the days fill with more screen time.Podcast listening becomes a screen-free ritual that gives the eyes a chance to repair and reset.3. Podcasts Pair Beautifully With Habits, Routines & RitualsThis is where podcasts shine. They don't just entertain — they anchor your daily rhythms.Pairing something enjoyable (listening) with something intentional (movement, tidying, resting) strengthens both habits — a core principle of habit science.This episode is the perfect warm-up for something special coming in December: a curated list of my favourite podcast episodes to support your nervous system, your sleep, your motivation, your emotional well-being, and your seasonal routines.

#176 - Think Midlife Means Sex Is Doomed? Think Again. Dryness, Low Desire, Awkward Silence? Let's Fix Midlife Sex. What if we stopped whispering about midlife sexual health and started talking about it like the real, fixable, medical issue that it is? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Maria Sophocles—internationally recognized OB/GYN, menopause expert, TEDx speaker, and founder of Women's Healthcare of Princeton—to talk about the truth behind midlife vaginal changes, why libido shifts aren't your fault, and how hormone therapy and non-hormonal treatments can actually help you feel like yourself again (yes, especially down there). We cover: Why vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, and painful sex are incredibly common—and completely fixable (whew!) The difference between vaginal estrogen for dryness and systemic hormone replacement (and why most women are scared of the wrong one) Four clinically proven ways to rebuild vaginal tissue—and when to consider each How to advocate for yourself when your provider dismisses your concerns The overlooked connection between estrogen, your brain, and your libido And yes… the wild stat about people checking their phones during sex. Wait, what?!

Menopause isn't just about hot flashes or mood swings.  it can change your sex life in ways nobody warned you about. In this episode, I break the silence around vaginal dryness, low libido, and the emotional toll it takes on confidence and relationships.  I unpack why it happens, what it really means for your body, and the solutions that actually help.  If you've felt alone or ashamed about these changes, this conversation will remind you… You are not broken, and you are not alone.

There's a prescription I think almost every woman should eventually be on, but most of them don't know that it could improve their future.  Things change as we age, but there's no reason to suffer unnecessarily, especially when there are cheap and easy solutions that can help you live more as you get older, rather than less.  If you want to improve your overall resilience while lowering your risk for urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, pain with sex, and more, I think it's worth your time to learn about vaginal estrogen and eliminate these problems before they even start.  come to my website: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.comIntroduction: The Prescription Every Woman Should Know About00:24 The Importance of Vaginal Estrogen01:17 Personal Reflections and Exceptions01:52 The Consequences of Ignoring Vaginal Health05:14 Statistics and Realities of Women's Health Issues09:07 Medical Community's Shortcomings09:59 Understanding Vaginal Estrogen and Its Benefits14:31 Challenges and Misconceptions in Prescribing Estrogen16:09 Different Forms of Vaginal Estrogen24:52 Compounded Products and Alternatives26:15 Conclusion: Empowering Women with Knowledge

Episode OverviewIn this episode of Fempower Health, we break down one of the most common—and misunderstood—conditions women face after menopause: Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).Often referred to by symptoms like vaginal dryness, painful sex, burning with urination, or frequent UTIs, GSM affects nearly half of postmenopausal women. Yet many women are never told it has a name—let alone that it's treatable.We're unpacking what the new 2025 GSM guidelines reveal, and why they mark a turning point in how clinicians should diagnose and treat this condition.What You'll LearnWhat Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) really meansHow GSM symptoms impact vaginal, sexual, and urinary healthWhy vaginal estrogen is a frontline treatment, even with systemic HRTCommon myths about lubricants, moisturizers, and “just aging”The difference between managing GSM vs. masking itWhy GSM often goes unaddressed in clinical settings—and what needs to changeWhat the 2025 guidelines clarify for patients and providers alikeHow untreated GSM can impact confidence, relationships, and even career performanceWhy This MattersToo often, women's health is narrowly defined as periods, pregnancy, and menopause hot flashes. But vaginal and urinary health after menopause deserves equal attention.Whether you're a patient, provider, or policymaker, understanding GSM is essential to changing the conversation around what midlife care really looks like.Related ResourcesRead Burning, Dryness, Pain?

In this episode of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes Dr. Kara Wada, an allergy and immunology expert, to explore Sjogren's disease and its connection to hypermobility, dysautonomia, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). They discuss why Sjogren's is one of the most underdiagnosed autoimmune conditions, its symptoms beyond dryness, and how it intertwines with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes). Dr. Wada also dives into Sjogren's diagnostic challenges, emerging treatments, nutrition strategies, and the role of inflammation in fatigue and pain. Whether you're navigating autoimmune symptoms or looking for practical tools to manage them, this episode is filled with expert insights and actionable advice. Takeaways: Sjogren's is Massively Underdiagnosed – Up to 75% of people with Sjogren's remain undiagnosed, in part because its symptoms extend far beyond dryness and don't always present in a textbook way. Autoimmune Conditions & EDS Are Connected – Sjogren's, POTS, and MCAS frequently overlap due to their shared impact on the immune and nervous systems, making diagnosis and treatment complex. Dryness is Just the Beginning – Sjogren's can cause neuropathy, fatigue, dysautonomia, gastrointestinal issues, and even a higher risk of lymphoma, making it more than just an inconvenience. Current Treatments Are Limited but Improving – There are no FDA-approved medications specifically for Sjogren's, but promising treatments are currently in phase 3 trials, offering hope for better management Nutrition & Lifestyle Matter – Avoiding ultra-processed foods, prioritizing hydration, and incorporating anti-inflammatory nutrients can help manage symptoms and support immune function.
