Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) affects an estimated 31 million people worldwide, yet remains widely misunderstood. How is it different from premenstrual syndrome (PMS)? Why can it magnify symptoms like irritability, brain fog, and emotional distress—and how does that ripple into work, relationships, and identity? In this episode, we talk to Heather Hirsch, MD, MS, NCMP, author of Unlock Your Menopause Type, about what defines PMDD, how it's diagnosed, how to tell it apart from other mood disorders, and the latest in treatment options, risk factors, and lifestyle changes that can help.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Celebrating Five Years of the 'You Are Not Broken' Podcast Happy New Year! This week, as we step into 2024, I'm reflecting on the incredible journey of the podcast and the amazing guests who've joined me along the way. Five years ago, on January 1, 2020, I launched the very first episode of You Are Not Broken. At the time, Instagram wasn't even part of the equation for me and now I just hit 200K, I hadn't published a book, hadn't done a TEDX talk and the term "menopause expert" wasn't something that I was. Looking back, I can confidently say: that first episode was pretty good! Thank you to all of the sponsors, prescribers, everyone who supports ISSWSH and treats women for sexual health issues. I just did a course about sexual health and prescribing testosterone with Dr. Heather Hirsch's academy. In honor of this milestone, let's revisit some of the highlights and wisdom shared by the brilliant minds who've graced the podcast. 1.My very first episode - short, sweet and mission driven, this is how it all started. 2. Dr. Mary Claire Haver – April 2023 episode 208 Long before “the new menopause” and the buzz around medications like Ozempic, Dr. Haver was here dropping timeless advice. 3. Dr. Sari Van Anders and the Science of Desire – march 2022 – Epiosde 147 Dr. Van Anders insights reshaped how we think about desire. Her research challenged the heteronormative theory of low desire in women partnered with men, emphasizing that desire is far more complex than we often assume. She explained how sexual thoughts and behaviors can influence our hormones, showing that thinking sexy thoughts can actually increase testosterone levels. This idea—that our minds and bodies are deeply connected—has inspired so many listeners to explore what turns them on and why. 4. Dr. Avrum Bluming and the Hormone Window – Epiosde 222 July 2023 Dr. Bluming joined me to discuss the "10-year window" and the incredible "window of opportunity" when it comes to hormone therapy. We now know that the main risk associated with oral estrogen is clotting in veins, which is why transdermal (TD) estrogen is the preferred option. He reminded us of the critical role hormones play in bone health, as hip fractures kill as many people each year as breast cancer. 5. The Lancet Rebuttal: Are We Overtreating Menopause? – April 2024, #259 This powerful panel discussion featured Dr. Lauren Streicher, Dr. Aoife O'Sullivan, Dr. Heather Quaile, Dr. Heidi Flagg, and Dr. Mary Claire Haver. Together, we explored whether menopause is being overtreated in 2024. Spoiler: the answer is no. 6. Dr. Marty Klein and the Complexities of Fantasy episode 169 – July 2022 Dr. Klein's book, His Porn, Her Pain, sparked a fascinating conversation about the nature of fantasy. His insights challenged us to think deeply about what fantasy means for us as individuals and how it shapes our relationships. As we celebrate five years, I want to thank everyone who listens, shares, and prescribes for women. Your support fuels this mission to empower and educate. Here's to another year of breaking myths, sharing stories, and embracing the science of living our best lives. Happy New Year, Dr. Kelly Casperson Thanks to our sponsor Midi Women's Health.

Together, we uncover the deeper issues behind why symptoms like anxiety, memory loss, and mood shifts are often overlooked—even by experienced doctors.Aoife opens up about her personal struggles with misdiagnosis, sharing how she questioned her own mental health before discovering the role of hormones in her symptoms. What makes this episode different? We tackle hormonal health, mental health, and the gaps in education that leave both patients and clinicians struggling to connect the dots.This isn't just about the challenges—it's about solutions. Aoife's experience shows that with better training, advocacy, and small changes in care, we can transform lives. We also discuss the systemic changes needed to ensure midlife women are supported, not sidelined.If you've listened before, this episode will add depth and new insights to the conversation. It's a call to action for women and clinicians alike: let's stop dismissing midlife symptoms and start treating them with the attention they deserve.Highlights:Aoife's personal struggle with misdiagnosis and suicidal thoughts in midlife.The impact of perimenopause on mental health, memory, and executive function.How the healthcare system fails women by misunderstanding menopause.The importance of hormone therapy trials and finding the right provider.Steps women can take to advocate for themselves and their healthcare needs.Dr. O'Sullivan's Bio:Dr. Aoife O'Sullivan is a board-certified family physician with training in Ireland and the U.S., specializing in women's midlife care. Her curiosity about the unique health challenges women face during perimenopause and menopause led her to extensive training with experts like Dr. Heather Hirsch and Dr. Louise Newson.

Even if you don't experience any menopause symptoms at all (and yes, that's a type!) you need to have a conversation about your menopause.    Heather gives a refreshing and fun look at menopause as we dispel myths, give you the tools you need to pick a practitioner and continue this conversation on this very important life stage.    You can follow Heather on Instagram @heatherhirschmd and buy her book, Unlocking Your Menopause Type here

In this episode, I talk to menopause clinician, author and podcaster Dr. Heather Hirsch, about the role of testosterone for women, especially in midlife, often misunderstood as just a male hormone. Testosterone can actually be the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to our perimenopause and menopause symptoms. We'll be talking about what we need it for, how and why we lose it, how it can help with boosting libido, brain clarity and energy levels too, but also why it may not be right for everyone. And we'll also find out why it's hard to get it prescribed in the UK right now.  Dr. Hirsch is an internal medicine physician specialising in women's health and menopause care at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, USA. Her clinical work and research centres on inequalities or unanswered questions in the field of women's health, specifically menopause education, and she aims to help women experiencing symptoms of perimenopause and menopause to thrive in midlife. In this episode 2:09 What is testosterone and why do women need it? 4:07 Where is testosterone made? 6:45 What happens to testosterone levels in women during menopause? 10:01 How do you receive testosterone if you need it? 14:08 Side effects and span of treatment 17:39 Problems in accessing testosterone 23:39 Inequalities in women's healthcare   About The Latte Lounge: This episode of the Latte Lounge podcast was presented by Katie Taylor from The Latte Lounge.

80. Six uncommonly heard of but common menopause symptoms.

Did you know that menopause is more than just experiencing hot flashes and night sweats? Many women experience other Menopause symptoms, such as dizziness, allergies, and heart palpitations. In this very interesting episode, Dr. Hirsch will break down six of the more commonly heard of uncommon symptoms of menopause. This is a must-listen for any woman in midlife and at menopause! (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So, two weeks or a week ago or so I posted about rare symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. And I can’t believe the amount of responses I got from this one post, which shows me that there are so many other symptoms that go missed, and they’re misunderstood, and it just leads to the confusion or the feeling of not ever being able to treat what it is, or that dismissive response that you might get from your clinician. So we’re gonna be talking about six of the more uncommon perimenopause, menopause symptoms in today’s episode. All right, so let’s get into today’s episode, which is, explaining six of the more uncommon symptoms of, again, both perimenopause and menopause. And I always want to remind women that symptoms of menopause, those classic symptoms or unclassified symptoms as we’re gonna talk about today can certainly start in a perimenopause where you’re still having periods whether they’re more frequent or they’re more spaced out. And so these are going to be the more uncommon symptoms of either a perimenopause or menopause. Now, right off the bat, I also wanna let you know that I’m not exactly sure I know the physiology behind each of these, but I’m gonna do my best to stay true to you and tell you when I don’t know something. But it doesn’t mean that we don’t know that, it might just mean that Heather Hirsch doesn’t know absolutely everything. I know, I have to say it out loud, but it is true! And so, if there are other folks out there who know a little bit more about this, these topics could each have experts in their individual fields. So I’m really excited to dive into this today. And the other final point is that, this list is not exhaustive. There are probably many more uncommon symptoms of perimenopause and menopause that we still haven’t yet recognized. And again, this list is just not a fully comprehensive list. So let’s jump into the first one on the list which is really actually much more common than I think other clinicians realize, and that is vertigo. Vertigo, if you don’t know, is the medical term for dizziness. Most vertigo is classified as benign positional vertigo. That means what it sounds like. When you move your head from side to side, that’s when you feel the dizziest. So a really good example of this is someone who is waking up and their alarm goes off and they immediately shoot out of bed without really opening their eyes and letting their brain know what direction they’re looking in and sitting up slowly. When you jump and shoot out of bed and you’re experiencing benign positional vertigo, you can feel a lot of dizziness, that’s one example of it. And this gets very commonly diagnosed in midlife perimenopause and menopause. Now, we do know that there are estrogen receptors from head to toe. I say this all the time. And there are estrogen receptors in our ears. Literally, there’s an estrogen receptor in every organ system of your body. So don’t be surprised. So, estrogen receptors are in our ears. And as that estrogen starts to decline in perimenopause or as you make no more estrogen once you’re menopausal, for some women, it must just trigger either an imbalance or a firing o... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heather-hirsch/support

In this episode, Dr. Heather Hirsch goes in depth covering the most common endocrine disorder of reproductive age women, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Because this disorder crosses so many various specialties of medicine, this can actually lead both under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis of this syndrome. If you have this syndrome, it is vital to have it appropriately diagnosed, and to find treatment that fits your individualized goals and situational lifestyle priorities. This podcast covers many of the most commonly asked or searched for questions on PCOS such as: *How do I know that I have it? What can your doctor see on physical exam? What labs should your doctor check? When should you get an ultrasound? *Why should you care about or rule in or out this diagnosis? Well, it can lead to fertility concerns, metabolic syndrome, and uterine cancer due to long-standing unopposed estrogen. It can also lead to other issues such as anxiety/depression, fatty liver, insulin resistance, sleep apnea, and more. *How can I treat it? From lifestyle changes to various medications, this podcast provides some guidance on treatment modalities you can discuss with your doctor that fits your needs and priorities. *How can you tell if treatment is working?
