Send us a textThis podcast originally ran on August 1, 2024You may have been hearing a lot about testosterone lately – what it is, why we need it, why we can't get it… I've gone to Melbourne, Australia to ask an expert in women's hormones across our lifespan, and one of the few people who has studied testosterone in-depth.Professor Susan Davis is a clinician researcher, consulting endocrinologist and head of the Monash University Women's Health Research Program in Melbourne.She is going to help us to tackle the current confusion – and hype – over testosterone, armed with what she knows best: the evidence. We talk about it all: the evidence, benefits, and potential misconceptions about testosterone supplementation for women, especially during menopause and perimenopause; the difficulty in measuring testosterone accurately, the placebo effect, risks and benefits of different hormone therapies, including testosterone pellets and creams, and the critical importance of credible sources of information. Professor Davis also highlights her extensive research, including studies on the cardiovascular effects of low testosterone and the physiological impacts on women's health.Highlights:03:38 Testosterone's role in a women's hormone structure06:35 Challenges in measuring testosterone19:50 Testosterone and cardiovascular health30:02 The misleading promises of testosterone therapy32:55 The controversy surrounding pellets36:17 Breast cancer risks and hormone therapy40:15 Testosterone for menopausal symptoms42:12 The role of DHEA in hormone therapy44:49 The impact of birth control pills46:26 Navigating hormone therapy and misinformation50:50 Current research and future directions53:33 The Influence of social media on health information56:10 Conclusion and credible resourcesJoin the Hotflash inc perimenoposse: Web: hotflashinc.comNewsletter: Hotflash inc. on SubstackTikTok: @hotflashincInstagram: @hotflashincX: @hotflashinc Episode website: Hotflashinc Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts | YouTube | Substack See hotflashinc.com/privacy-policy for privacy information
In this episode, I chat with Dr Michael Grandner regarding his book, “Sleep and Sport – Physical performance, mental performance, injury prevention and competitive advantage for athletes, coaches and trainers.” Dr. Grandner is the Director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, Director of the Behavioural Sleep Medicine Clinic at the Banner-University Medical Centre in Tucson, and an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the UA College of Medicine.

In this episode, I sit down with Professor Susan Davis, a world-renowned endocrinologist and women's health researcher with over 40 years of experience. She is Head of the Monash University Women's Health Research Program and holds a Level 3 NHMRC Investigator Grant. Susan is a Consultant Endocrinologist and Head of the Women's Endocrine Clinic, Alfred Hospital Melbourne and a consultant at Cabrini Medical Centre. She is a Fellow and Council Member of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences.Susan's research spans basic science to clinical trials and has been pivotal in our understanding of sex hormones in women in multiple non-reproductive target tissues including the brain (cognition, mood, sexual function), cardiovascular system (lipids, vascular function and coagulation) and other tissues (fat, muscle, joint cartilage and bone).Susan was one of five founders of Jean Hailes for Women, is a past President of the Australasian Menopause Society and International Menopause Society. She has 435+ peer-reviewed publications and has received numerous prestigious research awards.In 2022 she was also awarded the Medal of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.From questioning conventional wisdom about hormone therapy to conducting groundbreaking research that's changed how we understand menopause, Professor Davis brings clarity to a topic often clouded by misinformation and marketing hype.Key TakeawaysMenopause reality checkContrary to popular belief, about 70% of women don't experience severe menopausal symptoms. Those who do have significant symptoms typically improve within the first few years after menopause. This knowledge can help women approach this transition with less anxiety and better preparation. Hormone therapy truthThe decision to use hormone therapy should be primarily symptom-driven. It's proven effective for managing classic menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, mood changes) and preventing bone loss. Still, it's not a universal requirement or an anti-ageing solution. Professor Davis emphasises that there's no one-size-fits-all approach.Beyond hormonesMany symptoms attributed to menopause might have underlying causes. Key tests include iron levels (especially if fatigueD), thyroid function, and zinc levels. This highlights the importance of comprehensive health screening during midlife.Navigating informationWith the rise of menopause-related content on social media, it's crucial to fact-check information against reliable sources. Professor Davis recommends consulting websites of professionsal organisations for evidence-based information.As you navigate your midlife journey, remember that this phase of life deserves thoughtful attention and informed care. While hormone therapy can be transformative for those who need it, creating a healthy lifestyle foundation through regular exercise, stress management, and proper nutrition remains crucial. Your midlife journey is unique - trust your experience while staying informed through credible sources.Useful Resources:Professor Susan Davis on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/professorsusandavis/Women's Health Research Programme https://www.monash.edu/medicine/sphpm/units/womenshealth?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabp7h5dTpA0i_LIMZFKCdIwa8gTZSpDFz1tUvoh3tVX7sZgWbLclN8PMw0_aem_4k6tSLbKA0OWwdzeTpTmPg Australasian Menopause Society (for fact sheets) https://www.menopause.org.au/ International Menopause Society https://www.imsociety.org/?v=8bcc25c96aa5IMS educational videos and Podcast Library https://www.imsociety.org/education/videos/?v=8bcc25c96aa5#interviews Jean Hailes for Women's Health (for comprehensive women's health information) https://www.jeanhailes.org.au/ You can also find me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/joclarkcoaching/ and LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joclarkcoaching/Here's to redefining midlife and making our next half of life even better than the first.

The conversation around hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms is pretty clear. Hormone therapy is the gold standard for treating hot flashes and night sweats and can help with many other common symptoms that come with the menopause transition. It's very effective and broadly safe. But recently, the conversation has evolved past symptom management and into preventative health with many experts suggesting that hormone therapy may play a larger role in extending a woman's healthspan, if not lifespan. That maybe we should all start taking hormones to protect our hearts and cognitive health. And there's promising research in those areas. Yet none of the medical associations recommend hormones for those purposes. Why? That's what we dig into this week with Professor Susan Davis, AO, who is a pioneer and leading expert in women's health as a clinical endocrinologist, researcher, and educator. She reflects on her decades of research on various forms of hormone therapy and shares what we know–and still don't know–today regarding traditional hormone therapy as well as testosterone therapy for women's health post menopause.Professor Susan R Davis AO, MBBS, FRACP, PhD, FAHMS is a clinician researcher with expertise in the role of sex hormones in women across the lifespan.

Canada Research Chair for Men's Health Promotion, Dr. John Oliffe talks about the importance of applying what you know and learn to make better choices. Dr. Oliffe founded the University of British Columbia's Men's Health Research Program and focusses on masculinities as it influences men's health behaviours along with its impact on families and quality of life. With over 20 years of emergency medicine experience prior to becoming a researcher, a personal connection and a passion for finding answers have helped him create programs and materials that drive changes in men's health behaviours. In this conversation he talks about mental health, impacts of COVID, and spends a lot of time helping dads learn insights about how to create and sustain healthy relationships. Much of his wisdom comes through his research on distressed relationships. He talks about the mistakes men make as well as surprising findings he and his team didn't expect to see, but can make a huge difference for improving relationships. This is an interesting, enlightening, and empowering conversation that will help everyone improve their health and well-being.

Unit3d is going on a brief vacation so we are replaying some of our favorite episodes! Graham Doty has chosen this episode from April 2020 as his favorite to share again as a "Re-Unit3d". It's very common right now to be struggling with sleep. So many have been thrown out of routine, sent home to a different time zone, and the daily demands of the current situation are very different. Dr. Michael Grandner, Director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, discusses these and other sleep struggles and gives useful advice for getting better ZZZs.
Dr. Grandner is the Director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, Director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Clinic at the Banner-University Medical Center, and an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the UA College of Medicine, with joint appointments in the Departments of Medicine, Psychology (UA College of Science), Nutritional Sciences (College of Agriculture and Life Sciences), and Clinical Translational Science. In addition, he is a faculty member of the Neuroscience and Physiological Sciences Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs. He is certified in Behavioral Sleep Medicine by the American Board of Sleep Medicine and is a Diplomate in Behavioral Sleep Medicine by the Board of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. His research focuses on how sleep and sleep-related behaviors are related to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, neurocognitive functioning, mental health, and longevity. Current and recently-completed research projects were funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the American Heart Association (AHA), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and other organizations.

We've come a long way when it comes to discussing topics in public that used to be considered taboo or referred to as 'women's business', but one issue that is still shunned by society is menopause. Given the obsession with looking and feeling young, it can be difficult for anyone to have an open and honest discussion about this stage of a woman's life, which in turn can have seriously negative physical and psychological impacts. The Quicky speaks to an expert doctor and a woman currently living through menopause about what it's really like, and lift the lid on some common misconceptions about symptoms and treatments.

Only a few years ago, the phrase consumer sleep technology was synonymous with sleep trackers, devices that monitor your nocturnal behaviours to give you insights into the mysteries of your non-waking hours. Fast forward to 2021, where we're in the middle of an innovation explosion of all type of gadgets, wearables, apps, smart home technologies which not only track, but also actively attempt to promote better sleep. In today's episode we talk to friend of the podcast, Dr Michael Grandner about this important distinction between sleep technology that measures, and tech that intervenes in our sleep. Plus we explore some of the latest science-backed sleep devices that utilise light, sound, temperature and other esoteric techniques with strange acronyms like PEMF, TDCS, all in the mission to improve our sleep. Dr Grandner helps us to understand where the science is at with all of the latest sleep-tech trends, including digital sleep coaching, Sp02 monitoring, light therapy wearables, bed cooling tech, and more.

Michael A. Grandner, PhD, Arizona College of Medicine, provides an overview of the many aspects of sleep, how it impacts functioning, and the ways we can improve the quality of our sleep. Dr. Grandner is an experienced researcher, noted speaker, and respected colleague at many prestigious institutions. He serves as the director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, and as director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Clinic at the Banner-University Medical Center. Additionally, Dr. Grandner is an assistant professor in the departments of psychiatry and medicine in the UA College of Medicine, assistant professor of psychology in the UA College of Science, as well as an assistant professor of nutritional sciences in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He is certified in behavioral sleep medicine by the American Board of Sleep Medicine. Dr. Grandner discusses the connections between sleep and health and how it plays an important role in many and various areas of functioning. He states that a lot of their research focuses on finding ways to help with sleep improvement. He looks at quality and quantity of sleep, timing, when people are sleeping, and why. He gives details on the range of ways they study sleep in their laboratory. He talks about the various types of emerging technologies that can assist them with measuring the aspects of sleep. As sleep exists deep in the brain, it is impossible to perfectly measure sleep, thus Dr. Grandner states that they must measure around it, guessing at other measures such as movement and brain wave activity, etc. Achieving healthy sleep is crucial for great overall health, cardiovascular health, and is also an important factor in obesity, diabetes, and psychological well being. And as such, when we don't get enough of it, or the quality level is low, functioning can be impacted in many ways. Interestingly, Dr. Grandner points out that many people actually degrade their own opportunity to achieve quality sleep by reinforcing periods of insomnia. As he states, the best thing to do when you're in bed and can't sleep is to get up. Lying in bed and trying to fight it only reinforces the state, essentially teaching your brain that bedtime is a time for brain activity and thought. Thus getting out of bed and taking on some sort of activity till you feel ready to sleep could prove helpful. Dr. Grandner outlines some of the research and interesting studies his team is involved with currently as well as other studies on the horizon. Current research focuses on the ways sleep and sleep-related behaviors could be connected to cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, neurocognitive functioning, mental health, and even longevity. Their projects have been funded by the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and the American Heart Association (AHA). Their community-based studies consider a vast swath of issues from social environment, access to care, stress, diet, and exercise, as well as aspects of cardiometabolic functioning, to look at the ways sleep is related to each. Dr. Grandner seeks to develop new tools to help people gauge the kind of sleep they are getting and how to improve it. In regard to sleep, Dr. Grandner states, it is not something that you can command. We need to give ourselves the right environment, mentally and physically, that will allow sleep to happen. He discusses the quality versus the quantity, and the ways to evaluate that, as well as the importance of regular sleep patterns. Dr. Grandner discusses the internal body clocks that govern function, and the various types of personalities and genes that play a role in sleep schedules. He discusses the sleep-wake system versus the circadian system, which relates to the biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of approximately 24 hours. He explains how hormone shifts and rhythms can be changed, shifted, and blunted, and how light can help with making adjustments, in regard to the winter blues, seasonal affective disorder, etc. Dr. Grandner has published over 100 articles and chapters on myriad issues relating to sleep and health. His significant work in the field has been cited over 2,500 times. Dr. Grandner is associate editor of the recognized journal, Sleep Health, and he serves on the editorial boards of various other journals: SLEEP, Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, Sleep Medicine, and others. He is a sought-after speaker on the connection between sleep and good health and as such has been invited often to the National Institutes of Health, and has presented for the US Congress.
