A gay man and his boyfriend are in an open relationship. His boyfriend forbids the caller from messing around with anyone in their friend group. But this friend group is super-kinky and super-horny, regularly propositioning the caller for naughty fun. It's getting hard to say no... A trans guy still has "female" on his birth certificate. He wonders if it's too dangerous to try to get it changed at this perilous moment, and also if he should be stockpiling testosterone. Dan brings on Diana Adams- the Executive Director of Chosen Family Law Center, to discuss strategy for trans folks.

From Menstruation to Menopause, A new look at Women's health.Women's health has been under-researched and under-prioritized because of long held historical misconceptions, stigma and underfunding.Dr. Jen Gunter, renowned author and gynecologist, summed it up by writing: “Women were long viewed as lesser and more troublesome versions of men, and their reproductive tracts were primarily studied to improve pregnancy outcomes. This has resulted in inadequate research and education about the female body and the dismissal of women's health concerns”.Menstruation, ovulation, perimenopause and menopause are as normal as any other function of the body yet remains taboo, despite being a reality for 50% of the population.There is a cost to this stigma. 83% of young Canadian women experience shame about menstruating and 1 in 3 don't feel prepared for their first period. 68% of women in Canada felt that their period prevented them from full participation in an activity. More than half have missed school, work or social activities.Period poverty is real, and not just in developing nations. One in five women in Canada struggle to afford menstrual products. This inequity doesn't end when menstruation ends. The Menopause Foundation of Canada reports that 10% of women will stop working due to unmanaged symptoms.Every March, we come together to observe International Women's Day, and this year, the Empire Club is excited to present “Here's a Hot Flash: Women's Health Matters. Period.” Our experts will debate how far we have come and the work still to be done.  They'll share stories and evidence on how bringing conversations on women's health out into the open benefits individual women, the economy, and our broader society.On March 20th, 2025, join Karli Farrow, President and CEO at Trillium Health Partners (THP), Joanna Griffiths, Founder and President of Knix and Dr. Wendy Wolfman, Director of the Menopause and the Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Clinics at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto for a lively discussion on women's health from menstruation to menopause, with Teri Hart, journalist and TV host, as the moderator. *The content presented is free of charge but please note that the Empire Club of Canada retains copyright.

Are you trying to figure out how to deal with menopause or curious if you're on the brink of it all? Welp, friends… this one is for you! My special guest today is author Laurie Lewis and she's simplifying how to deal with menopause. No matter if you're at the beginning of it all and you're starting to notice your period is getting irregular. Or your midsection resembles more of a rectangle than an hourglass (um, like me).

Here's how.  My all-star special guest today is Laurie Lewis and she's simplifying how to deal with menopause. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: What the first signs of perimenopause and menopause are that you need to be looking out for Your hormones will start to shift in your 40s and 50s… what are the basics you need to know and why working out longer and harder in the gym is NOT the answer to losing weight What intermittent fasting is and why it might be the right solution for those looking to recalibrate their hormones How does intermittent fasting work, is it safe and what the three phases of fasting are: Fast foundation Fast forward  Fast forever …and ultimately, how to make sense of all the changes your body is going through without losing your mind along the way. Disclaimer: speak to your primary care physician or doctor first. There is so much mystery and confusion surrounding menopause and what's (actually) happening in our bodies. As Dr. Jen Gunter says, “it's like puberty, but in reverse!” I hope today's conversation sheds some light on this subject that'll help you prepare for menopause, start to recalibrate your hormones, and feel more in control of what your body and brain is needing the most during this stage of your life.

Professor Sarah Berry and Dr. Jen Gunter join us to break the silence around menstruation.

We all know a good night's sleep is essential, but for many people, sleeping well (or falling asleep at all) can be difficult and even stressful – and there's no shortage of tales about what prevents people from catching their ZZZs. In this episode of Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter, Dr. Jen digs into "how to sleep'' culture – from blue light blockers to sleep hygiene enthusiasts, to the 8 hours a night rule to… witches?! Don't sleep on this episode–because it might just have you skipping the melatonin supplements and rethinking sleep rituals – before jumping into bed for a well-deserved snooze.

For the first couple of weeks of January, we're revisiting some of our most popular episodes from 2024. Take another listen to our conversation with Dr. Jen Gunter. She has made it her mission to change how we think about menstrual health as a key component of overall wellness. So much of what we know about menstruation is a myth or simply false. As a renowned gynecologist and author, Jen also dives into the history of why so many people are afraid to talk about their periods.

Each Sunday, TED shares an episode of another podcast we think you'll love, handpicked for you… by us. From metabolism gummies to spicy foods, the Keto diet to intricate exercise routines — it seems there's always something that is being sold or promoted to speed up your metabolism. But do most of us even know what our metabolism IS? And is there any way to hack it (you know, so we can eat pizza all day and not stress about it)? In this episode of Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter, Dr. Jen outlines what science knows about this process and why the myths and misunderstandings about our metabolism's ability to change can actually do us more harm than good.

Potato juice instead of antibiotics. Using beer in lieu of sunscreen. Shoving a garlic clove up your nose for sinus trouble. These are some of the remedies you might find on TikTok. The internet and quackery are not new concepts, but health advice – both good and bad – is a hot ticket item on social media platforms, especially for Gen Z. In fact, according to a recent study, a third of Gen Z-aged TikTok users trust that app more than their doctors. We look at what happens when TikTok is your doctor, and hear from you: have you used social media to diagnose an ailment or get medical advice? How did it go? Guests: Keren Landman, senior reporter covering public health, emerging infectious diseases, the health workforce, and health justice, Vox Jessica Malaty Rivera, science communicator and infectious disease epidemiologist; science communication lead, The COVID Tracking Project at The Atlantic; her social media feed came to prominence during the pandemic Dr. Jen Gunter, OB/GYN and pain medicine physician; author, "The Vagina Bible"

This topic is definitely new territory for my Truth for Teachers podcast, and I was initially hesitant to include it because I didn't want to overshare. However, as I began to talk to other women about this, I realized how many of us really didn't have a good grasp on the way hormones impact our daily function. The experience is so individualistic, and no two bodies are alike. I realized that the more folks talk about this, the better informed we'll be. So in this episode, I'm sharing my own journey with perimenopause and brain fog. It took me many months to recognize what was changing in my body and why, and I misdiagnosed the brain fog as simply pandemic-related stress. At age 43, menopause wasn't on my radar yet, and I didn't know pre-menopausal symptoms were a thing. Once I sought guidance from my OB-GYN, I was able to find relief from my symptoms, and I want to help other women understand their options, too. So, I've invited Dr. Jen Gunter to shed some light on this topic for us. Jen is an obstetrician, gynecologist, and author known for her advocacy work in women's health and her efforts to debunk health misinformation. She is a prominent voice on social media and shares evidence-based information about women's health issues and challenges pseudoscientific claims, and has authored several books, including "The Menopause Manifesto," in which she addresses common myths and provides accurate information about women's health. In this interview, Jen and I discuss the impact of hormonal changes on energy and focus, throughout different stages of life, emphasizing that hormones should be viewed as a symphony of factors rather than isolated elements. Jen also dispels negative stereotypes about hormonal changes and challenges patriarchal concepts around women's competence related to hormones and aging. She encourages women to embrace their capabilities, and make informed decisions about how and when to utilize medical experts for support.

Having your period is exhausting — and for many people across the world, menstruation is even more challenging because of stigmas and difficulty getting basic hygiene supplies, says social activist Ananya Grover. In this uplifting, actionable talk, she shares how "Pravahkriti," her campaign to spread period positivity, creatively engages with everyone to promote menstrual health, raise awareness and break taboos around periods. After the talk, Shoshana has a sweeping conversation with OB/GYN, activist and fellow TED Audio Collective host Dr. Jen Gunter on breaking down period myths and misconceptions.

Transitioning into menopause affects every woman differently. But too many see medications as universal cures and restrictive diets as superior ways of dealing with menopausal symptoms.Instead of regarding medication and special diets as the be-all and end-all, it's time to start approaching menopause in a more holistic way. And luckily, that conversation is happening more rapidly with the help of women like Dr. Jen Gunter.In part two of my interview with her on The Wonder Women Podcast, you'll learn about some of the interesting research she's seen in the menopause space and the importance of this conversation starting early for women as we look at menopause more holistically.

There are only two mammals who have evolved to survive after their child bearing years: toothed whales and humans. This stage of life is called menopause, and it makes humans an evolutionary wonder! But our perception of it has been shaped by centuries of stigma and shame—up until recently it was even considered a "disease" by the medical establishment that needed to be cured. Menopause isn't a disease, but that doesn't mean it's a party either. There can be troublesome symptoms for many people. So you might be thinking, "I'm not in menopause now" or "I'm not going to go through menopause, ever. Why should I care?" Dr. Jen tells us why while taking us through the complex history of how we got here, giving hot tips on managing hot flashes, and sharing why menopause shouldn't be viewed as the end of the race, but a victory lap.  You can read the text transcript for this episode at go.ted.com/BodyStuffTranscript3.

When she's not talking to her angel guides, Christiane Northrup says that taking Vitamin D is better than the HPV vaccine for preventing cervical cancer. When Kelly Brogan isn't denying germ theory, she's telling thousands of women in her online programmes to stop taking not only their SSRIs, but also birth control and Tylenol. When Naomi Wolf isn't explaining to Steve Bannon where women's liberation went wrong, she's worried that vaccinated women are poisoning non-vaccinated women just by walking past them. The train of messianic women wellness influencers rumbles on and on. But their pseudoscience claims and twisted forms of spiritualized feminism meet a brick wall in the work and advocacy of our guest today, Dr. Jen Gunter. Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Dr. Gunter is an OB/GYN who has been offering actual women's health information through a solidly feminist lens for decades as the author of several books, including 2019's The Vagina Bible, 2021's The Menopause Manifesto, and her newest book, which dropped just 3 weeks ago: Blood: The science, medicine, and mythology of menstruation.

Are there beliefs or “facts” you might have learned that maybe aren't actually centered around truth or science? Perhaps you've entered various seasons of your life as a female (menstruation, fertility, childbirth, hormone fluctuation, perimenopause, menopause) where you've felt like your concerns were dismissed or you weren't given the tools, knowledge or treatment to help you navigate these season as well as you'd like. Whether you avidly seek knowledge about your body, or you're bumping up against walls in what has been, historically, a lopsided research culture where male health has been more highly prioritized, we've got a guest today who is determined to correct that inequity with scienfitic and experiential information, research and active destigmatization. Dr. Jen Gunter is an obsetritican gynecologist and a bestselling author (The Vagina Bible, The Menopause Manifesto) who has made it her goal in life to “fix the internet” regarding information about women's bodies and correcting the misinformation that runs rampant there; long held myths that cause fear, stress and even shame around our female phsyiology. Dr. Gunter debunks common misconceptions around our periods, our hymens (fyi, it's not a “freshness” seal), synthetic hormones, menopause symptoms and more. Bottom line: you deserve to know about your body, and this conversation opens the door to finding true and accurate information that will help dismiss the fears you may have around all the seasons of your female health experience.   * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: “I think the average high schooler probably graduates knowing more about frog biology than human biology. No shade to animal physiology. It's super important. However, high school should also be teaching you more practical information as well as things to advance you academically.” - Dr. Jen Gunter “People deserve to know how their body works.” - Dr. Jen Gunter “If you don't have that foundation of the menstrual cycle and you don't know how it all works, it's harder to understand what's going on with menopause” - Dr. Jen Gunter “Basically, menopause is puberty in reverse." - Dr. Jen Gunter “If you could only do one intervention for a healthy menopause, it would not be estrogen. It would be exercise. Exercise touches every domain of every single thing that's going to be on your bothersome list. Exercise improves sleep, exercise reduces dementia. Exercise reduces heart disease. The only thing that it doesn't help is hot flashes.” - Dr. Jen Gunter “Every single hormone that you get, whether it's a pharmaceutical estrogen or it's something from a compounding pharmacy, comes from the exact same plant. It's all from the same source.” - Dr. Jen Gunter “You're more than your menstrual cycle. You're awesome whether you have estrogen or not. It has nothing to do with your awesomeness. It really doesn't.” - Dr. Jen Gunter Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Guardian Article about Dr. Jen Gunter The Vagina Bible by Dr. Jen Gunter Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen Gunter Jensplaining - Dr. Jen Gunter's Amazon Prime Series 2020 NAMS Media Award from the North American Menopause Society Recipients “Why can't we talk about periods” - Dr. Jen Gunters 2020 Ted Talk Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter Blood: The Science, Medicine, and Mythology of Menstruation by Dr. Jen Gunter The Vajenda - Dr. Jen Gunter's Substack Newsletter  The Preemie Primer: A Complete Guide for Parents of Premature Babies--from Birth through the Toddler Years and Beyond by Dr. Jen Gunter  Ensure Meal Replacement Guest's Links: Dr. Gunter's Website Dr. Gunter's Twitter Dr. Gunter's Facebook Dr. Gunter's Instagram Connect with Jen!
