The frozen shoulder. The 3 a.m. anxiety. The brain fog and the rage that come out of nowhere. For decades, women were told it was "just stress" and sent home with an antidepressant. This week, Dr. A and Mary Alice welcome back the woman changing that — Dr. Mary Claire Haver, the OB-GYN The New York Times calls the "Menopause Queen" — for a full masterclass on perimenopause.It can start in your late 30s, it lasts 7 to 10 years, and almost no one warned us. Dr. Haver explains what's really happening in your body and brain, why so many women are dismissed, and what you can actually do about it — HRT, progesterone, vaginal estrogen, sleep, mood, and the myth that you have to wait until it's "bad enough" to get help. Because suffering isn't the price of admission.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PMOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

What You'll LearnWhat perimenopause actually is and how it differs from menopauseWhy perimenopause can begin in your late 30s or 40sWhy brain fog, sleep disruption, anxiety and mood changes can be early symptomsWhen hormone therapy may be considered during perimenopauseThe difference between HRT/MHT, birth control and vaginal estrogenWhat we know, and still don't know, about HRT and cardiovascular and bone healthHow GLP-1 medications can affect muscle and bone healthThe role of protein, resistance training, vitamin D, omega-3s, fiber and creatineWhat declining estrogen can mean for vaginal and urinary healthWhat women should know about HRT and breast cancer riskWhy listening to your symptoms and advocating for yourself mattersKey Timestamps00:00 Why Every Vagina Needs Estrogen01:32 Welcome Back Dr. Mary Claire Haver05:44 What Perimenopause Actually Is08:44 The "Zone Of Chaos" And Brain Glitching18:08 How To Evaluate A Perimenopausal Patient20:01 All Vaginas Need Estrogen24:50 Why Perimenopause Is The Best Time To Start HRT32:13 GLP-1s, Muscle Loss, And Bone Health36:41 Patches, Pellets, Creams: What Actually Works40:23 Debunking The HRT-Breast Cancer Myth50:33 Creatine, Vitamin D, And Key Supplements54:56 The Histamine-Hormone Connection58:12 Vulvar Changes Nobody Warns You About1:04:37 Lightning Round: Hormone Myths Busted1:07:19 Three Takeaways For Every WomanKey TakeawaysPerimenopause is a years-long biological transition, not simply the period immediately before menopause.Symptoms can appear before periods become irregular or hot flashes begin.Brain fog, sleep disruption and mental health changes can be among the earliest signs of fluctuating hormones.Hormone therapy does not necessarily have to wait until a woman is fully menopausal; treatment should be individualized based on symptoms, risks and benefits.Bone health, cardiovascular health, muscle mass and metabolic health all deserve attention during the menopause transition.If using GLP-1 medications, Dr. Haver emphasizes adequate protein, resistance training and monitoring body composition rather than focusing solely on the number on the scale.Vaginal and urinary symptoms can be related to declining estrogen and may be treated with local estrogen therapy.The goal of understanding perimenopause is not simply to get through it, but to enter the next stage of life informed, healthy and empowered.Guest Bio: Dr. Mary Claire HaverDr. Mary Claire Haver is a board-certified OB-GYN and a leading voice in menopause and women's health. She has dedicated her career to helping women better understand the biological changes that happen during midlife and has been called the “Menopause Queen” by The New York Times. She is the author of the bestselling The New Menopause and her newest book, The New Perimenopause, which focuses on the years leading up to menopause. She also hosts the podcast Unpaused and shares women's health education across social media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Race and Rights Podcast, guest host Dr. Esaa Mohammad Sabti Samarah sits down with Dr. Mustafa Rfat, a faculty member at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, a scholar of forced migration and disability justice, and the Refugee Congress Delegate representing the state of Missouri, for a conversation examining the intersection of refugee rights, disability, and structural inequality. Drawing from both rigorous scholarship and lived experience as a refugee with a disability, Dr. Rfat explores how immigration systems, social policies, and institutional practices shape the lives of refugees with disabilities long before and long after resettlement.Together, they examine the historical exclusion of people with disabilities from U.S. immigration and citizenship policy, the barriers refugees encounter when navigating health care, education, employment, and naturalization, and why disability must be understood through a social rather than medical lens alone. The discussion also explores the human consequences of recent refugee and deportation policies, highlighting how inaccessible systems and language exclusion can undermine both disability rights and fundamental human rights.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Rfat reflects on his own journey from Iraq to the United States, illustrating how personal experience has informed a research agenda dedicated to advancing refugee health equity, participatory research, and disability justice. The episode challenges listeners to reconsider dominant narratives about refugees by centering resilience, dignity, and belonging while emphasizing the responsibility of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to dismantle structural barriers rather than expecting individuals to overcome them alone.This episode is essential listening for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, students, and advocates committed to refugee rights, disability justice, health equity, and human rights.Links to Published WorksRfat, M.

Mary Alice and Dr. A sit down with reproductive endocrinologist and fertility expert Dr. Natalie Crawford for a deep dive into everything women should know about their fertility before they're ready to have a baby. They discuss why fertility can be an important reflection of overall health, how inflammation, endometriosis, PCOS/PMOS, and autoimmune conditions can impact reproductive health, and why women shouldn't have to wait until they're struggling to conceive before they start asking questions.The conversation also breaks down AMH and ovarian reserve, egg freezing, when it makes sense to see a fertility specialist, and what women should know about long-term birth control and fertility. Dr. Crawford shares why getting more information earlier can give women more choices later, and why understanding your own body is one of the most important parts of advocating for your health.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PMOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Fertility issues can sometimes point to underlying health conditions that deserve attention.You don't have to wait until you're trying to conceive to learn about your fertility. The conversation explores how earlier testing can give women more information and more choices.AMH is one piece of the fertility puzzle. Understanding ovarian reserve can help women make more informed decisions about their reproductive timeline and options.Birth control does not appear to cause long-term infertility. Dr. Crawford explains that research has not shown a long-term difference in conception rates after stopping the pill, while noting that hormonal birth control can affect how certain fertility markers are interpreted.You can see a fertility specialist before experiencing infertility. Fertility specialists can help women understand ovarian reserve, discuss egg freezing, and identify potential issues before someone begins trying to conceive.Guest Bio: Dr. Natalie CrawfordDr. Natalie Crawford is a reproductive endocrinologist, fertility specialist, educator, podcast host, and author of The Fertility Formula. After completing her OBGYN residency at Parkland Hospital, she completed a three-year fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility.

There's a number attached to every patient's chart that quietly shapes the resources they receive, the care they're offered, and whether their health conditions are fully seen — and most providers don't fully understand it. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Ericka Bauman, Director of Quality Assurance at Your Health, to break down the Risk Adjustment Factor — better known as the RAF score. Ericka has spent years traveling across Georgia and South Carolina, walking into provider offices, sitting with care teams, and doing the work of turning confusing data into meaningful patient outcomes. What you'll hear in this episode: What the RAF score actually is — explained the way Erica explains it to every team she visits, from providers to front desk staff Why most RAF scores are too low — and how underdocumenting a patient's conditions leaves them exposed to missed care, hospitalizations, and unmet needs The biggest misconception providers have about RAF (hint: it's not another box to check) How RAF and quality measurement are really asking the same question from two different angles — and why treating them separately is a mistake What changes for patients when care teams show up prepared, proactive, and looking at the whole person — not just the reason for today's visit The numbers will follow when you take care of the patient. This episode will show you how. www.YourHealth.Org

What if the anxiety, emotional sensitivity, and overwhelm you've experienced for years are actually connected to ADHD? On this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice sits down with board-certified psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr. Sasha Hamdani to unpack why ADHD is so often missed or misdiagnosed in women. They discuss the emotional side of ADHD, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), hormones and ADHD symptoms, ADHD during perimenopause and postpartum, medication options, and why treating ADHD is about so much more than improving focus. Dr. Hamdani also shares the science behind her new book, Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PMOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

It can affect emotions, relationships, sleep, eating, executive function, and everyday life.Women are frequently missed because they may present primarily with inattentive symptoms rather than the stereotypical hyperactive presentation.Hormonal changes can worsen ADHD symptoms, particularly when estrogen drops during the menstrual cycle, postpartum period, and perimenopause.Anxiety and depression can coexist with ADHD, but they can also be diagnoses that obscure underlying ADHD.Rejection sensitive dysphoria describes an intense emotional or physical response to real or perceived rejection or criticism and can be particularly disruptive for people with ADHD.Finding the right ADHD treatment is highly individualized. Medication can be one tool alongside behavioral strategies and other forms of support.Dr. Hamdani emphasizes that the goal of ADHD medication isn't to make someone feel “perfect,” but to provide consistent support that allows them to function more like they do on a good day.Emotional sensitivity isn't necessarily something that needs to be eliminated. The goal can be learning to better understand and regulate it.Guest Bio: Dr. Sasha HamdaniDr. Sasha Hamdani is a board-certified psychiatrist and ADHD specialist who has both personal and professional experience with ADHD. After being diagnosed with ADHD as a child, she went on to become a physician and now specializes in treating ADHD and helping patients better understand the condition beyond traditional symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity. She is also the author of Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply, which explores the neuroscience of emotional sensitivity, rejection, hormones, and practical tools for managing intense emotions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are you: - Interested in mission and wondering what it really means for you and your family, and if you have what it takes? - Curious to know how one may start and sustain a ministry in resource-limited settings in a foreign country from scratch with no money, no team, and no knowledge about far too many things? - Looking for practical tools and resources to prepare for mission? Through the years, God has overwhelmed the Samoutou family with His tremendous grace, provision, and protection. Joyce will be the first to tell you how many humble pies she has eaten and lessons she has learnt along the way - from practicing medicine in a way that her training had not prepared her for, being far away from family and the world she knew, running a charity, leading a team, handling tricky and scary situations, raising a family, and getting over herself. She has also picked up several practical tips and tools along the way that can be helpful to those considering or having already embarked on overseas missions. In this session, participants will, through the firsthand experience of a missionary-medic- homeschooling parent who co-founded an international ministry: - Learn what is involved in starting, fundraising, and running an international non-profit medical organization in resource-limited settings, the challenges as well as useful practical suggestions in overcoming them. - Be encouraged and empowered to embark and thrive on long-term missions as health professionals, spouses, and parents with ageing parents back home. - Have an opportunity to ask questions that they have always wanted to ask a missionary who is happy to share with humor, candor, and vulnerability.

For decades, women have been told that hormone replacement therapy causes breast cancer, but where did that message come from, and is it the full story? In this episode, Mary Alice Haney is joined by former SheMD executive producer and award-winning storyteller, Ami Armstrong, to unpack the Women's Health Initiative, the landmark study that changed the course of menopause care for an entire generation. Together, they explore how one of the largest women's health studies ever conducted became one of the most misunderstood, and why many experts are working to correct the narrative today.Mary Alice and Ami break down the difference between relative and absolute risk, discuss how media headlines fueled decades of fear around hormone therapy, and explain what today's research says about menopause treatment. They also examine why women have historically been left out of medical research, the importance of personalized healthcare, and how understanding your own risks can empower you to make informed decisions alongside your doctor.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

What You'll LearnWhy the Women's Health Initiative became one of the most influential and controversial studies in women's health.The difference between relative risk and absolute risk, and why that distinction matters.How media coverage dramatically changed public perception of hormone replacement therapy.Why today's menopause hormone therapy differs from what was studied in the original trial.How women were historically excluded from clinical research and how that affected medical care.What current evidence says about the timing of hormone therapy and menopause treatment.Why understanding your personal health risks leads to better conversations with your doctor.Key Timestamps00:00 Welcome Ami Armstrong02:57 Ami's own HRT journey & why she made this series05:04 The idea behind "It's Not a Purse" (Magritte inspiration)07:43 "Feminine Forever" and the history of estrogen marketing09:02 Why Ami dug into the Women's Health Initiative11:48 Getting women into clinical trials: the 1990s shift18:43 Placebo, estrogen-only & estrogen+progestin arms20:15 What hormones were actually used in the WHI22:04 The timing hypothesis explained23:14 Inside the July 2002 press conference decision24:53 Breaking down the breast cancer numbers (absolute vs. relative risk)27:06 Why the trial was stopped early & the estrogen-only results32:07 HRT use plummets & what hot flashes really mean35:42 The researchers who fought back42:32 Individualized risk & questioning the headlinesKey TakeawaysThe Women's Health Initiative began as an ambitious effort to better understand disease prevention in postmenopausal women but became defined by a controversial 2002 announcement that dramatically changed hormone therapy use.Headlines focused on relative risk increases without explaining the much smaller absolute risk, creating lasting public fear around HRT.The hormone formulations used in the original study are different from many of today's commonly prescribed bioidentical therapies.Experts now recognize that the timing of hormone therapy initiation plays an important role in determining benefits and risks.Women have historically been underrepresented in clinical research, leading to gaps in medical knowledge that continue to impact healthcare today.Every woman's health decisions should be individualized, based on current evidence, personal risk factors, and informed conversations with qualified healthcare providers, not fear-driven headlines.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yet many people spend years living with unexplained pain, frequent injuries, gastrointestinal concerns, cardiovascular symptoms, and other challenges before receiving a diagnosis.In this episode, Corey speaks with physical therapist Dr. Emma McCauley about the difference between hypermobility and EDS, why diagnosis can take more than a decade, and how racial disparities can make that journey even longer for people of color.Dr. McCauley also explains how physical therapy can help people improve joint stability, body awareness, movement, and quality of life.

Every clinician knows food shapes health. The evidence has been there for decades. So why does nearly every food as medicine program in America still run on grant money with an expiration date? Dr. Yousuf Ahmad has spent 30 years inside the system, running hospitals, leading a health plan, building health tech, and he watched nutrition sit on the sidelines of care the entire time. Now, as President and CEO of AssureCare, he's behind NutraVance, a platform built to move nutrition out of the pilot graveyard and into real clinical workflows: screening, EHR integration, culturally personalized meal plans, outcome tracking, and the piece nobody wants to talk about, reimbursement.Corey and Yousuf get into the five things that were missing all along, how AI personalizes nutrition without leaving under-resourced communities behind, what this looks like inside an FQHC, why every hospital needs a chief affordability officer, and what has to change so a heart failure patient never again leaves a hospital without a nutrition plan.If you've ever watched a program your patients loved disappear when the funding ran out, this conversation is for you.☕ Tell us what you thought of this episode and get a Healthy Project coffee mug: https://forms.gle/W6fqYUcJPsuHYjad8What we cover:The moment Yousuf realized nutrition was never part of central caregiving across hospitals, health plans, and physician practices (00:59)Why a sick-care system that reimburses treatment can't see the value of prevention (04:01)The proof of value problem: the 3-to-1 ROI argument Yousuf makes to health plan CEOs (06:22)The five missing pieces that killed every food as medicine program: screening, workflow integration, personalization, measurement, and reimbursement (09:07)How AI personalizes nutrition to culture, budget, and multiple chronic conditions without deepening bias against already disadvantaged communities (12:32)What NutraVance looks like inside an FQHC, where 32 million Americans get their care (16:45)Why every hospital and health plan needs a chief affordability officer (18:13)Who pays for food as medicine today, and who should: Medicare, Medicaid, and the payers writing the checks (19:32)The 10-year vision: a healthcare system that asks for your nutrition plan the way it asks for your insurance card (22:12)Yousuf's leadership advice: the difference between motion and progress (34:11)About the guest:Dr. Yousuf J.

GLP-1 receptor agonists have become some of the most talked-about medications in recent years. You may have heard names such as liraglutide, semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro). These treatments have attracted attention because they can significantly reduce appetite and support weight loss while also helping to manage blood glucose levels. The breakthrough came when researchers developed long-acting versions of hormones naturally released by the body after eating, including GLP-1 and, in some cases, GIP. These hormones help regulate hunger and promote feelings of fullness. While the body's natural response lasts only a short time, modern medications extend these effects for up to a week with a single injection. Since results from major clinical trials emerged in the early 2020s, GLP-1 therapies have transformed obesity treatment, delivering weight-loss outcomes that surpass those achieved by previous medications and offering new hope for people struggling with weight management. - Laureate Professor Clare Collins, internationally distinguished leader in nutrition and dietetics, University of NewcastleSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For years, Jordana Brewster quietly lived with a life-altering diagnosis that few people knew about. After suffering a seizure at 28, she learned she had a cavernous malformation (CVM), a rare vascular condition in her brain that made carrying a pregnancy dangerously high-risk. While continuing a successful acting career, she privately managed her condition, navigated fertility treatments, and ultimately chose gestational surrogacy to grow her family.In this candid conversation, Jordana joins Mary Alice Haney to share the emotional realities behind IVF, infertility, surrogacy, and the difficult decisions that come with protecting both your health and your dream of becoming a parent. She also opens up about undergoing awake brain surgery, overcoming the stigma of living with a neurological condition, healing from disordered eating, and how divorce, blended family life, and finding love again gave her the courage to embrace a completely new chapter.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PMOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

“Stories … are powerful tools that can help us make sense of our lives,” says physician-scientist Maya Adam. She now combines visual storytelling and health education to create animations that go beyond the barriers of language and culture to convey important health messages. The subject matter ranges from vaccine acceptance and addiction to mental health and nutrition. These emotionally engaging narratives – often without a single spoken word – are more effective than traditional pamphlets and lectures, Adam says. Visual stories have the potential to achieve “near-universal understanding” that can support better health outcomes, she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

While Elsevier's most recent Clinician of the Future Report shows increasing adoption of artificial intelligence tools among physicians and nurses, and optimism that they will improve quality of care in the future, a majority raised concerns about trust and reliability. To increase the level of trust, 60% said transparent citations of evidence-based and peer-reviewed research will be key. How to provide that transparency is our focus today as Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith welcomes Elsevier colleagues Rhett Alden and Raman Kaur to guide us through the complexities involved, including the concept of traceability and what role it plays in how AI tools such as Elsevier's ClinicalKey AI are built and deployed.  “Traceability changes the confidence that a clinician has in an AI tool so that they aren't trusting the AI, they're trusting the underlying evidence they're consuming from the AI-assisted platform,” says Raman, who brings years of experience as a primary care practitioner to her work.  It's also important, Rhett adds, to provide additional information, pulled from both the clinician's query and the patient's medical record, to inform clinical thinking. “ClinicalKey AI can be more than a response engine by establishing a larger context to provide a more precise answer for that individual patient.” In this thought-provoking discussion, these experts also provide insights on: Mitigating bias in AI results; Using AI responsibly with sustainability in mind; What type of clinician will benefit most from AI Mentioned in this episode: ClinicalKey AI Clinician of the Future Report If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

What if your healthcare team already knew what happened during your hospital stay — before you even explained it? What if someone on your care team noticed you were struggling on a Saturday and simply showed up? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Christopher Laffey, Nurse Practitioner at Your Health, to break down what a truly connected, proactive model of care actually looks like when it's working. Christopher practices in North Charleston, SC, where his team — nurses, therapists, social workers, community health workers, and more — functions less like a traditional office practice and more like a living, breathing safety net woven around each patient's real life. What you'll hear in this episode: Why most patients are failing not because nobody cares, but because the system itself is fragmented — and what doing it differently actually looks like on a Tuesday morning The real difference between "patient-centered" as a marketing phrase and patient-centered as a daily practice (hint: it involves seeing the medication bottles on the kitchen table) A powerful real-life story of a bedbound patient whose caregiver suddenly disappeared — and how the team mobilized over a weekend, on their own time, to prevent a hospitalization The single mindset shift every clinician needs to make the transition from visit-based thinking to longitudinal care Why "value-based care" doesn't mean discounted care — it means the organization is accountable for your outcomes, not just your appointments If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling more confused than when you walked in, this episode will show you what healthcare can feel like when it's actually designed around you. www.YourHealth.Org
