Millions of women in their 30s–50s are being told they're “depressed” when their brains and hormones are simply changing. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz to unpack the truth about midlife mood shifts, rage, and the hormonal fluctuations that mimic depression but aren't the same. We break down the science of perimenopause, why women are so often misdiagnosed, and how decades of excluding women from research left major gaps in understanding how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shape the brain. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz reveals how hormonal changes—starting up to ten years before menopause—can transform mood, cognition, and stress, and how modern science is finally catching up to just how powerfully hormones influence the mind. About the guest:Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz is a board-certified OB/GYN and integrative women's health expert who blends conventional medicine with Ayurvedic training. A USC-trained physician with a residency at Cedars-Sinai, she supports women from adolescence through menopause and is the author of Menopause Bootcamp (Harper Wave, 2022). Her work focuses on demystifying midlife, challenging ageism in healthcare, and empowering women with science-based guidance.

I'm excited to share this episode, where I joined Dr. Kirti Patel to talk all about egg freezing on The Gynarchy Podcast. We discuss why egg freezing matters, how it works, and what every woman should know about her fertility options. As a fertility specialist with deep roots in women's health (and a family legacy in OB/GYN), I'm passionate about empowering women with the knowledge and choices they deserve. In this conversation, I share my personal journey, the inspiration behind my work, and why I believe education is the key to reproductive autonomy. During our interview, Dr. Patel and I dive into the evolving landscape of egg freezing, the cultural and societal factors influencing women's choices, and the realities (both medical and emotional) of fertility preservation. We discuss the science, the misconceptions, and the importance of making informed decisions, whether you're considering egg freezing for yourself or just want to better understand your reproductive health. My goal is to demystify the process and help women feel confident, not fearful, about their options. In this episode, we cover: My personal and professional journey into fertility medicine, including generational influences and early experiences in my father's practice The origins and evolution of "egg freezing parties" and how they've become a platform for education and empowerment The step-by-step process of egg freezing, including preparation, testing, and what to expect physically and emotionally Common side effects, risks, and the psychological impact of fertility treatments The role of genetics, age, and lifestyle in fertility planning, and how to personalize your approach Debunking myths: egg freezing as an "insurance policy," who should consider it, and the realities of success rates The intersection of workplace benefits, societal pressures, and reproductive rights in the context of fertility care Resources: Dr. Kirti Patel's website and The Gynarchy podcast (go subscribe!)  My website: draimee.org and IVF classes: eggwhispererschool.com The Egg Whisperer Show on YouTube and Spotify Social media: @eggwhisperer on Instagram and TikTok American Society for Reproductive Medicine: asrm.org (for referenced studies) Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Her approach blends medical expertise, deep listening, and a belief in every woman's inner healer. Press play to hear how to clear old birth patterns, nurture a real bond with your baby before birth, and set yourself up for a gentle, pleasurable experience—plus, get Dr. Anemone's honest take on hospital vs. home birth, healing after trauma, and the small steps that make a big difference.   Connect with Debra!

In today's wide-ranging episode, we unpack four jaw-dropping stories you won't want to miss: —Shenzhou‑22 — Tiangong rescue mission: After a damaged capsule left three Chinese astronauts stranded, China launched an unmanned lifeboat to bring them home (04:45). —A disturbing criminal investigation at U.S. Army's Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center (formerly at ­Fort Hood) where around 3,000 patients have been notified amid allegations a suspended OB-GYN secretly recorded exams and is now under federal investigation (15:44).  —A twisted coup plot: A young airman and his co-conspirator allegedly planned to take over Île de Gonâve off Haiti — kill all the men and enslave the women and children — recruiting homeless individuals as mercenaries (31:09).  —The forgotten battle: We revisit the little-known Battle of Attu in May 1943 — the only WWII land battle fought on U.S. soil, high in Alaska's Aleutian Islands. Harsh terrain, brutal combat, huge costs (55:25).  From space-station rescue to military medical breaches, from a surreal invasion plot to buried WWII history, this video ties it all together with the high-energy style you expect from Late For Changeover. Buckle up.

A woman told USA TODAY that nearly a year ago she walked into the OBGYN's office in Fort Hood, an Army base in Texas, because she wasn't sure what to take for her sinus infection during her pregnancy. She said that the doctor, Major Blaine McGraw, then sexually abused her. She said that when she told him to stop, he laughed. The woman is one of more than 1,400 patients of Major McGraw's who the Army says it has contacted in a snowballing investigation alleging sexual exploitation. USA TODAY National Security Reporter Cybele Mayes-Osterman joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt for more on this disturbing story. Have feedback on the show?

This very special FIRST episode of Season 2 of That Greenwich Life presented by RMANY was recorded LIVE just a few days ago at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, where an incredible room full of women gathered for an evening of community, conversation, and purpose. Thanks to the generosity in the room, we raised $13,700 and counting for Pencils of Promise, helping expand access to education for children around the world.The evening began with an elevated cocktail reception with The DJ Tys on the turntables, signature cocktails “The TGL” and “RMANY's Seed of Hope” , passed hors d'oeuvres, a hot pink step and repeat with a lot of kisses, hugs, laughs and flashbulbs happening in front of it - and the evening all culminated in what you hear in this episode. There were amazing brands with all the latest wellness services and products around the room, a cotton candy machine, disco ball vases full of pink roses, gift bags overflowing with incredible products and the kind of main character energy that is contagious.I took the stage to discuss how change really begins the moment you decide to show up differently, sharing some of my personal challenges—like infertility and loss—and how they've shaped my perspective on resilience, empathy, and growth. I reflected on the power of gratitude and how embracing authenticity can ripple out to impact everyone around us. Then a special guest joined: Dr. Lucky Sekhon — a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist and OB-GYN at RMA of New York, on-air expert, and advocate for women. She shared amazing insights on reinvention, identity, aging, fertility, burnout, and the mental load. Her book, The Lucky Egg, drops Jan 13 - preorder it now!

In October, seven OBGYNs at a Kamloops, B.C. hospital signed a letter of resignation. Those seven were the only OBGYNs in the city.We're used to bad headlines about Canada's healthcare system. Lack of family doctors, emergency room wait times, delayed procedures, but this was different. Mass resignation threatening an entire branch of treatment for the whole city. The letter of resignation is effectively a protest, a warning. The physicians who signed it say their workload is untenable and is placing patients at risk.

Menopause after surgery can feel sudden — but knowledge is power. Learn what's happening inside your body and how to take charge of your health, hormones and happiness in this empowering Live Greater episode, featuring Dr. Erica Contreras, OB-GYN at UM Charles Regional Medical Group – Women's Health in LaPlata.

  "It's not about getting rid of sadness; it's resolving pain so we can feel the feels and still move on." - Dr. Liz Lyster   Dr. Liz Lyster is a distinguished board-certified OBGYN with over 30 years of experience in medicine, specifically focusing on helping individuals in midlife enhance their energy levels, balance their hormones, and achieve optimal health. Not only a best-selling author and world traveler, but she is also a certified grief recovery specialist, spurred into this field after the loss of her husband. Dr. Lyster is committed to integrating her expertise in medical science with her understanding of grief and loss to provide comprehensive care to her patients. She operates both in person and online, extending her proficiency to a wider audience.   Episode Summary: In this heartfelt episode of "All My Health There is Hope," host Jana Short welcomes back Dr. Liz Lyster, a seasoned OBGYN and grief recovery specialist. Dr. Lyster discusses her journey following the unexpected loss of her husband, sharing the deep inner work and healing she has pursued since. Her personal experiences have led her to become certified in grief recovery, allowing her to better assist those navigating midlife changes and loss. Beyond her medical prowess, Dr. Lyster's openness about her struggles and triumphs offers hope and inspiration to listeners dealing with similar challenges. Delving deeper, Dr. Lyster highlights the underpinnings of grief often masked by societal norms and personal coping mechanisms. She unveils how cultural expectations can shape the grieving process and emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and working through emotions rather than succumbing to short-term fixes. By exploring both personal and professional realms, Dr. Lyster illustrates how unresolved grief can manifest in various aspects of life, particularly affecting body image and personal relationships.   Key Takeaways: Grief is a complex, deeply personal journey that defies traditional stages, and everyone processes loss differently. Societal expectations and myths around grieving often inhibit the natural mourning process and can lead to unresolved grief. Personal development and health, particularly in midlife, should address both physical and emotional aspects, integrating practices like hormone balance and grief recovery. Understanding and resolving emotional baggage are crucial for healing and forming healthier relationships. Dr. Lyster's upcoming programs focus on body recomposition and emotional health, extending her holistic approach to wellness.   Resources: https://drlizmd.com http://www.twitter.com/drlizlyster FB & IG: drlizlyster LinkedIn: drlizlyster   ✨ Enjoying the show?

In this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we dive into the often misunderstood journey of perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Taniqua Miller, a board-certified OBGYN and certified menopause specialist, joins us to discuss the real symptoms women experience, why traditional healthcare often falls short, and how to build a comprehensive care team for this major life transition. Tune in as we explore the physical, emotional, and relational changes that come with this transition, practical strategies for managing symptoms, and why community matters more than ever during midlife. If you're looking to understand what's happening in your body during perimenopause or support someone going through it, you won't want to miss this one!Key Takeaways: ● Understanding the Timeline: Perimenopause typically lasts 4-5 years before menopause (defined as 12 months without a period), with early symptoms often showing up as mood changes, joint pain, and sleep disruption before the classic hot flashes arrive. ● Build Your Care Team: Just like pregnancy or adolescence, this transition requires a comprehensive support system including medical providers, mental health professionals, pelvic floor physical therapists, and community—not just one annual doctor's visit. ● You're Not Broken: The grief, rage, brain fog, and physical changes are real physiological responses to hormonal shifts, not personal failures. Self-compassion and education are the first steps toward reclaiming agency during this transition.Listen Now: Ready to get inspired?

The plot revolves around Rocco Falconieri, the child of Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) and Dante Falconieri (Dominic Zamprogna), and his convoluted connection with Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), or as Rocco calls her, 'Other Mother'.  GH spoilers reveal that Britt, who was Lulu's OBGYN at the time, played an instrumental role in the storyline, overseeing the process of harvesting Lulu's eggs, obtaining Dante's sperm, and creating embryos. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Britt, eager to have a child, implants one of the embryos in herself, claiming that the child is Patrick Drake's. Spoilers for General Hospital expose the truth about Rocco's real parentage, much to the dismay of Lulu and Dante. Other characters such as Emma Drake (Braedyn Bruner) , Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms), and Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), adding more layers to the plot.   Visit our General Hospital section of Soap Dirt: https://soapdirt.com/category/general-hospital/ Listen to our Podcasts: https://soapdirt.podbean.com/ Check out our always up-to-date General Hospital Spoilers page at: https://soapdirt.com/general-hospital-spoilers/ Check Out our Social Media...

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Dr. Julia Edelman. Today's guest is a trailblazing OB-GYN and menopause specialist who turned a frugal, hands-on childhood into a purpose-driven medical career. At a time when women in medicine were not taken seriously, or given the same opportunities, Julia persevered with grit and grace, proving that passion and persistence can pave the way for lasting impact. She shares how agency, determination, and clear values shaped her life choices, especially when money and medicine collided. About Julia Edelman: Menopause Practitioner of the Year Julia is a Yale graduate, Columbia Medical School graduate, Harvard residency-trained physician and a nationally recognized menopause expert. A board-certified gynecologist and Menopause Certified practitioner, she has been caring for women for over four decades and is highly regarded for her evidence-based compassionate approach to women's health. The founder of Women's Health and Gynecology of New England, Julia has trained and mentored physicians and medical students at Harvard and Brown medical schools. The North American Menopause Society awarded Dr. Edelman the honor of “Menopause Practitioner of the Year” after she published her first book Menopause Matters: Your Guide to a Long and Healthy Life. She followed with Successful Sleep Strategies for Women (Harvard Health Publications). Her new book, The Savvy Woman's Guide to Menopause: Before, During, and Beyond (Johns Hopkins University Press, October 2025) provides clear, practical guidance to help individuals navigate the physical, emotional, and cognitive changes of midlife and beyond with confidence. In addition, Julia runs The New England Center for Body Sculpting, which offers FDA approved noninvasive antiaging treatments and functional medicine treatments for men and women with no needles, no pain, and no downtime. Some treatments build muscle, permanently eliminate fat cells, and restore collagen and muscle strength in the abdomen, love handles and other areas. The Center also offers a noninvasive face treatment that restores collagen while smoothing and tightening the skin to give a natural, more youthful appearance.  And it has an Emsella chair or “Kegel chair”, that restores urine control for men and women.

What if everything you've been told about menopause is wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mary Claire Haver — board-certified OB/GYN and leading menopause expert — to unpack the science reshaping women's health. We break down the FDA's recent removal of the 22-year black box warning on hormone therapy, why only 4% of women use HRT today, and how fear and misinformation have shaped decades of care. Dr. Haver also dives into the rise of menopause “biohacks,” from NAD and PRP to the fundamentals that truly move the needle: sleep, strength training, and metabolic health. Her message is simple: Menopause isn't a disease — it's a transition, and you deserve informed, evidence-based support. If you've ever felt dismissed or confused during midlife changes, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and the science to advocate for yourself.

 In this episode, Sakara founders Whitney Tingle and Danielle DuBoise sit down with world-renowned fertility expert Dr. Zaher Merhi, founder and medical director of the Rejuvenating Fertility Center. Named one of the Top 2% Scientists in the World, Dr. Merhi is pioneering a new era of women's health—one where fertility, longevity, and regenerative medicine are deeply interconnected. Together, they explore groundbreaking new frontiers in fertility—from stem cell ovarian rejuvenation and reproductive immunology to natural and low-dose IVF alternatives. Dr. Merhi challenges traditional fertility medicine, emphasizing that IVF isn't always the answer—and that many women can restore fertility and hormonal health by addressing underlying inflammation, immune imbalances, and lifestyle factors. Whether you're thinking about kids, navigating perimenopause, or simply curious about optimizing your hormonal health, this conversation offers a powerful perspective: your fertility is a reflection of your overall vitality—and supporting it means nurturing your whole body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Merhi Shares:  Why inflammation is at the root of many fertility challenges How reproductive immunology helps prevent miscarriage and support healthy pregnancies The science of PRP and stem cell ovarian rejuvenation Why IVF is not the only answer The link between mental state, nourishment, and fertility How regenerative therapies like ozone and exosome treatments are advancing longevity and hormonal health Check out the video version on the Sakara Life YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/uTjlwH7wNhM  About Dr. Merhi: Dr. Merhi is the founder and the medical director of Rejuvenating Fertility Center (RFC). He is an internationally recognized fertility doctor, lecturer, editor, and grant reviewer.

Is fertility really “over” at 35? In this conversation, Angela sits down with double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist Dr Natalie Crawford to unpack fertility myths, ovarian aging, egg freezing, and what women can actually do to protect both their future family and long-term health. They get into when to seriously consider egg freezing, how many eggs women over 38 may really need, what ovarian reserve tests can (and can't) tell you, and why supporting your metabolic health and lowering inflammation is one of the best “longevity strategies” for your ovaries. They also talk about the emotional toll of infertility and pregnancy loss, and how to ask for (and offer) the right kind of support.

Part 2 of 2 When the plaintiff's expert is a plastic surgeon who couldn't rule out a dwarf with razor-sharp toenails for the scratches, this trial felt less like Law & Order and more like Real Housewives: Beverly Hills Courthouse Edition. From the OB-GYN and receptionist who witnessed the fight to the psychologist who said the plaintiff's test answers were “two in a billion,” the defense delivers receipts – while plaintiff's counsel Ron Rosen Janfazza completely unravels. Tyrella and Nikita break down the defense's strategy, the jaw-dropping cross-examinations, the lightning-fast verdict, and the post-trial fallout – including Janfazza's sanctions, his 2023 mistrial meltdown, and the now-infamous “vaginal discharge” argument NO ONE asked for.

Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast, where host Dr. Stanton Ham welcomes back Dr. Stuart Fischbein, a pioneering OBGYN who transitioned from a highly medicalized birth model to a more holistic, midwife-collaborative approach. This episode delves deep into the critical issues surrounding childbirth, medical interventions, and the profound impact of birth experiences on mothers, babies, and families. Listeners interested in healthcare, birth practices, medical reform, and those seeking alternative perspectives on childbirth will find this conversation both enlightening and transformative.   Highlights: "How we give birth matters... to the baby's long term health, the mother's long term health, and the relationship between her and her partner."   "No midwife gets rich, no midwife drives a Porsche."   "It's not about intentions. It's about outcomes."   "Nature didn't decide on that timetable. Man decided on that."   "Everything they say is mockable. It's almost a parody of itself."   Timestamps: 00:01 Introduction 01:06 Medical Journey Begins 10:45 Midwifery Transformation 14:21 System Critique 19:21 Birth Trauma Insights 29:06 Provider Burnout 38:13 Intervention Realities 48:27 Insurance Trap 1:00:51 Birth Planning Wisdom 1:10:05 Freedom and Family   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About: Dr. Stuart Fischbein is a veteran obstetrician who took a hard turn away from the hospital system to support natural, physiological birth in collaboration with midwives. After decades inside the system, he got fed up with the way modern obstetrics treats birth like a medical emergency instead of a natural human event. Today, he's one of the few OBs who still attends home births, including breech and twin deliveries .. things most doctors won't even consider. He's the host of the Birthing Instincts Podcast, where he and midwife Blyss Young talk openly about birth freedom, informed consent, and what's broken in the maternity care system. Dr. Stu's become a voice for autonomy, skill preservation, and true informed choice … especially for parents who want to reclaim birth as a sacred, empowering experience.   The desire to go off grid and have the ability to grow your own food has never been stronger than before.
