Episode Summary:In this episode of the Fempower Health Podcast, we unpack one of the most important shifts happening in gynecology that few patients know about: salpingectomy—the removal of the fallopian tubes—is replacing tubal ligation in many cases as a way to reduce ovarian cancer risk.Research has shown that most ovarian cancers actually begin in the fallopian tubes, not the ovaries. But outdated coding, confusing consent processes, and insurance issues have made this simple, evidence-based cancer prevention tool harder for women to access—or even understand.This 10-minute episode breaks it all down in plain English.

Send us a textThe summer sun beckons with its warm embrace, but that golden tan comes with a hidden cost. Dr. Holly Thacker dives deep into the phenomenon known as "tanorexia" – the addiction to tanning that has serious health implications many don't recognize until it's too late.This addiction isn't merely psychological. When your skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, your body releases endorphins – those feel-good neurochemicals that create a genuine physical dependency. "People can actually get addicted to this," Dr. Thacker explains, drawing parallels between tanorexia and other recognized addictive behaviors.Whether you're concerned about your own tanning habits or protecting children's delicate skin, this episode delivers practical, science-backed advice for maintaining healthy skin while still enjoying outdoor activities. Because as Dr. Thacker reminds us, all natural complexions are beautiful – it's about being "happy in your own skin" while keeping that skin healthy for years to come.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Episode Summary: Breast Cancer Prevention Just Took Two Big Steps ForwardIn this short but powerful episode, Georgie breaks down two groundbreaking developments in breast cancer prevention that could reshape how we think about screening, menopause care, and early intervention:1️⃣ An FDA-authorized AI tool—Clairity Breast—that predicts a woman's five-year breast cancer risk from a standard mammogram, even when it appears normal.2️⃣ A menopause drug, Duavee, that may help prevent invasive breast cancer in women with a history of high-risk lesions like DCIS.These tools aren't just high-tech—they're practical, accessible, and represent a smarter, more equitable approach to women's health.Whether you're a clinician, policymaker, or woman navigating your own care, this episode breaks down what you need to know.

In this episode, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by Dr. Rhett Long, an endocrine surgeon with UT Health Austin's Surgical Oncology Clinic. Dr. Long is one of the only Austin-area surgeons to specialize in the treatment of cancers and other diseases of the endocrine system, which regulates our bodies through hormones. This vital set of structures plays a major role in our overall health and wellbeing. While most surgical conditions of the endocrine system are non-cancerous and discovered by accident, they can still cause problems by compressing the vocal cords, esophagus, or other nearby structures. Compressive symptoms of thyroid disease may include a visible bulge in the neck, difficulty swallowing, and/or shortness of breath when lying down. Patients with such symptoms, or who struggle with unexplained fatigue, depression, or weight fluctuations should first consult an endocrinologist who can determine the cause and the course of treatment. Should you or someone you love need endocrine surgery, call Dr. Long at (512) 495-5717 or visit the Dell Medical School at UT Austin online today!Voted top Men's Health Podcast, Sex Therapy Podcast, and Prostate Cancer Podcast by FeedSpot.Dr. Mistry is a board-certified urologist and has been treating patients in the Austin and Greater Williamson County area since he started his private practice in 2007.We enjoy hearing from you!

Episode OverviewIn this episode, I take a closer look at compounded medications—what they are, when they're used, and the important nuances behind their growing popularity.From hormone therapy and menopause care to semaglutide and GLP-1s, compounded meds are often described as personalized solutions. But these treatments exist in a regulatory gray area, with real variability in quality, safety, and effectiveness.This episode is about cutting through confusion—without judgment or hype—and offering context to help you better understand your options.What You'll LearnWhat compounded medications are and when they're usedWhy some women rely on them for hormone therapy, PCOS, progesterone intolerance, or GLP-1 accessWhat's different between FDA-approved medications and compounded versionsWhy terms like “bioidentical” can be misleadingThe impact of drug shortages, insurance limitations, and gaps in careWhy It MattersMany people don't realize that compounded medications aren't FDA-approved—and that doesn't automatically make them dangerous or ineffective. But it does mean they operate by different rules. This episode offers a grounded look at what's happening behind the scenes and why these treatments are increasingly common in women's health and beyond.ResourcesRead article on Fear, misinformation, and pharmaceutical messianism in the promotion of compounded bioidentical hormone therapyCheck out the blog post version of this episode here, which includes all citations.**Top 50 Health Podcast of 2024** Want men to better understand how to you during your menopause journey!

What does it really mean to “have it all”? In this tender, fierce & deeply insightful episode, Breazie sits down with writer, parent & intersectional feminist Micah Larsen to unpack the pressures modern moms face, how the myth of “having it all” burns us out, & what it takes to raise the next generation with values of equity, bodily autonomy, emotional literacy, & gender awareness.Micah opens up about her mental health journey, building a village through vulnerability, how she's disrupting gender roles in her household, & why honest, age-appropriate conversations about consent, abortion, privilege & emotions matter—especially when raising white sons in a patriarchal society.This episode is equal parts truth-telling & gentle rebellion—an invitation to all caregivers & cycle-breakers to redefine what “having it all” means on their own terms.

I also share how I finally stopped yo-yo dieting after seven years—and what actually brought me peace with food and my body. From obsessively counting macros to finally feeling at home in my skin, this episode reveals how nervous system healing—not another diet—is what changes everything. You don't need more willpower.

Many of us understand theoretically that our mindset impacts our results, but knowing how to actually change our thinking is a different challenge. Through my experience as a coach and my own personal development journey, I've discovered that meaningful mindset shifts happen when we have practical tools to guide us.

Dane started showing signs of IBD at the age of 19 when he noticed some blood in his stool and at 23 years old he couldn't ignore his symptoms any longer.

How often do you experience two competing desires at once? Maybe you want to eat the cake, but you also want to reach your physique goals. Do you make either one of those desires wrong for existing? This internal tug-of-war between immediate pleasure and long-term progress is something I see consistently in my coaching practice. Having competing desires around food and body goals doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you – it makes you human. In this episode, I break down how to hold space for competing desires without shame or self-judgment. I share practical mindset tools for making intentional food choices, including how to slow down, create awareness, and choose from a place of empowerment rather than restriction. We'll also explore why resentment develops and how to shift from feeling deprived to feeling in control of your decisions.
