Chelsea Leyland, founder of Looni, joins us to shed light on this topic and empower others with knowledge and support. Topics we cover include understanding endometriosis, holistic approaches to treatment, challenging shame and stigma surrounding women's genitalia and periods, and empowerment and advocating for yourself in the room with doctors and healthcare professionals.  Endometriosis is a condition where scar tissue from the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. Shockingly, 1 in 10 people who menstruate have this condition, yet it often takes over 10 years to receive a diagnosis. Many patients feel unheard and unseen by their physicians, leading to frustration and loss of faith in the medical system. Nutrition, stress levels, and lifestyle factors play crucial roles in managing endometriosis symptoms. Society's narrative of shame surrounding menstruation exacerbates the challenges faced by those with endometriosis.  It's crucial to challenge outdated solutions and reclaim ownership of our bodies and experiences. By speaking openly about our experiences, we can dismantle the shame and stigma surrounding menstruation and reproductive health. Rather than relying solely on pharmaceuticals, Chelsea took a holistic approach to her treatment of epileptic seizures, which was essential for her recovery. We discuss how this holistic approach is what her brand, Looni, is built on. Looni blends science and spirit to bring balance to our hormones because newsflash, everyone has hormones! Our periods should not be painful, and seeking help for symptoms is not a sign of weakness. Let's continue to educate ourselves, advocate for better care, and support each other on our journeys toward menstrual health and empowerment. You can become your own best advocate.

A new, first of its kind study has revealed a link between women who experience long covid and a decrease in their sexual health. We know so much about how the coronavirus impacted other areas of our health, but this study finally looks at the impact of COVID-19 on 6 key sexual health areas in women, finding those who had contracted covid were more likely to be experiencing sexual disfunction. So can we do anything about it? How do we discuss it with our doctors and why is the world in general having less sex in 2024?

EPISODE 3 TITLE :  DR. RACHEL RUBIN, MD: Menopause + Your Sex Life! with our Nation's Chief Cliterologist! Female Hormones, Pelvic Floor Rehab + Viagra for Women This week, my guest is none other than our nation's Chief Cliterologist!  Dr. Rachel Rubin, MD is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist.  As a leading expert in Urology and Sexual Medicine, Dr. Rubin is also known as one of only a handful of physicians with fellowship training in sexual medicine for all genders.  Based in Washington DC, she is a clinician, researcher, passionate educator, activist, and an incredible resource. In this episode, we talk about menopause, perimenopause, and how we know when we are in them! We talk about the symptoms of Genito-Unrinary Syndrome of Menopause and what we can do about them. The good news is there are things we can do, actions we can take, and people out there that can help. She explains pelvic floor rehab, and the benefits of vaginal estrogen, and shares that women can take Viagra too!  Dr. Rubin tells us how understanding our own healthcare is the best advocacy and the best thing we can do for our health.  However, as Dr. Rubin notes, there is a lack of information out there on women's health, and our doctors, as well-trained as they may be, may not have training when it comes to managing or even recognizing menopause and perimenopause. Even Oprah's doctors overlooked her menopause symptoms! She even shares that doctors were told to avoid the clitoris so as not to make the patient uncomfortable.  Women's health is decades behind men's health, as women were not included in medical research formally until 1986, but thanks to doctors like Dr. Rubin, that is changing, and we can be part of that shift toward greater knowledge about women's health too. !  We also talk about finding a provider and how you can be a part of her group menopause meetings held online.    Topics: Topics: Menopause Perimenopuase How do we know we are in it?  Understanding our own healthcare  Oprah's menopause symptoms overlooked  Symptoms of menopause  Genito-Urinary syndrome  UTIs  Vaginal estrogen Vagnal DHEA  Evidence-based treatment  Do hormones cause cancer?  Equality in Healthcare  Viagra for Women  Investing in our health  Pelvic Floor Physical therapy  Advocacy   How do we find doctors that can address our needs   Doctors encouraged to stay away from the clitoris  Connecting anatomy with physiology and overall quality of life  Most women orgasm from clitoral stimulation  Making desire a priority  Who needs pelvic floor physical therapy and what is it?

Today on MedNet21, we're going to discuss Women's Sexual Health.

What if you had an unapologetic, informed, entrepreneurial, badass comedienne as your sex ed teacher?  Maybe you woulda listened more in high school, right?  And it mighta saved you a few years of awkward, uncomfortable, and plain old bad sex too. Raylene Taskoski is the best friend, aunt, and sex ed teacher you always wished you'd had.  She's a motivational speaker and stand-up comedian who has spoken to over 10,000 women about sex over the last decade through sex toy parties, her keynote talk "Let's Talk about Sex: the Importance of Open, Honest Discussions about Women's Sexual Health," and her comedy show Stand Up Comedy Sex Ed.  For 13 years she's educated women about how their bodies work and why they work that way, and is a true believer in the importance of lube. :)  She's on a mission to improve the sex life of as many women as possible through communication and most importantly, laughter. Raylene joins the #single family to tell us single women that the best thing we can do for ourselves, especially right now when we're likely to be isolated from sexual interactions, is to love ourselves - in both the emotional and physical way.  Here's two of her favorite products to make that happen, as mentioned in the episode: TWILIGHT MOOD JUST LIKE ME LUBE Wanna have a virtual sex toy party with Raylene?  Hit her up here and tell her #single sent you!

Last Spring I got to interview Patty Brisben and alas, a strong friendship was built. This week lets take a look back .....At the Pure Romance queen :) How do you accurately describe Patty Brisben? Words can’t really describe. She is an inspiration to us all who didn’t just change the game, she created the game for empowering women on sexual health in Cincinnati and across the country. As a single mom she learned first hand the importance of taking chances and trusting yourself first and foremost. When she started Pure Romance 26 years ago she had a dream and more than anything, a will to do whatever it takes to support her family and make her dream of helping woman an ultimate success. She has become the most successful woman in Cincinnati because she genuinely cares about everything she spends her time on. She is tender, strong willed, excited, and very well spoken. This, week Natalie spends time with powerhouse Patty Brisben.

Welcome to "Medical Myths," a new series on the Medicus podcast where we explore misinformation and common misunderstandings in the healthcare world, with the goal to help dispel common myths and promote education and awareness. Today’s episode focuses on women’s health, specifically women’s pleasure and pain. We interviewed Jen Romanello, a medical student at Rush Medical College in Chicago who has previously done extensive work in women’s health, which she considers a passion. Before medical school, Jen was an Ambassador at Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, DC. In this role, she created a panel with local physicians and health educators open to the public titled, "I LIKE IT: A Conversation on Female Pleasure and Sexual Communication" on raising the consciousness of how women can more readily identify and communicate what is pleasurable for them in their own lives. She has worked at a global fertility practice doing clinical research and also served on the organization’s ethics committee. She keeps a blog about exploring the intersection of bioethics, women’s health, and identity, and she graduated from the George Washington University with B.S. in Biological Sciences and a minor in Applied Ethics. So, how "cliterate" are you? What myths about women’s health are you holding onto? Tune in to find out!

Did you know that “biological“ medications for treating auto-immune conditions have been associated with 34,000 deaths? 500,000 serious complications? Today’s podcast highlights this issue, and the medications implicated. In the second half we explore some of the misconceptions regarding hormone replacement therapy for women. The research regarding the risk of cancer has been fully exaggerated, if not completely misinterpreted.

Andrea Thiis-Evensen meets Dr Maria Tanyag, who specialises in the neglect of women’s sexual health in crisis areas, and examines the major consequences this neglect can have on society.  EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Andrea Thiis-Evensen: Hey, my name is Andrea Thiis-Evensen and welcome back to Peace and Gender. In this podcast I am trying to highlight the issues surrounding gendered inequalities. I’m doing this by meeting the people who are actually seeking solutions, trying to get to know both their research and their personal story. These topics may not meet the mainstream media agenda, but they are issues that really deserve attention. Maria Tanyag: You have women who could have lived had they had access to health. Andrea Thiis-Evensen: Today I’m going to talk to Dr Maria Tanyag about the issues around women’s sexual health. Maria is a feminist researcher and she has a PhD in politics and international relations. But first, why did Maria start looking into this issue? Maria Tanyag: Growing up in the Philippines I was specifically motivated to do further research because of the - what I was then observing as gender-specific barriers to women’s health. We have among the strictest laws around abortion, access to contraception. For me, growing up - especially as I was also developing as a person and as a woman, I was seeing these and noticing these inequalities more because it’s very personal and as most feminists would say, the personal is political. When I was starting to observe all these inequalities that women distinctly faced, I was prompted to understand, what are the reasons why these barriers are there in place? Andrea Thiis-Evensen: Despite how far she thought we’d come when it came to gender inequality, Maria started seeing all these inequalities when it came to women and equality. Maria Tanyag: While there is a global push to promote gender equality, and we’ve made significant progress already, we are still yet to understand why many women, and girls, die from pregnancy related complications. Why, despite a broad support and understanding that gender equality matters, we are still seeing the prevalence of, for most parts, preventable maternal deaths in many societies. That to me is a fundamental inequality and it’s a paradox, that we can see a lot of women in many societies, sometimes within the same society, progressing. Yet you have women who could have lived had they access to health care, reliable health information around their own bodies. That is, for me, a global problem that needs urgent attention. Because if we have - if we do not bridge that health gap we are seeing a lot of progress being built on the invisible deaths and sacrifices of women, especially those in crisis settings, who are enduring a lot of this specific violence because of all these broader politics and inequalities that prevent them from accessing health. Andrea Thiis-Evensen: This is what Maria started researching. Maria Tanyag: There’s a lot of talk about inclusive post-disaster recovery, inclusive peace building, and all of these things are important and they matter, but for me the question is why, in all of these things, the hierarchy always put women’s health at the bottom? There seems to be a deliberate neglect, or forgetting that women for women to be able to fully participate in political and economic decision making, they must also, in the first place, be able to have control and decision making over their own bodies. So my research has really shown that women and girls, through dominant peace and security development agendas are being made responsible as well in post-disaster and post-conflict recovery and rehabilitation. But it is being built on their invisible sacrifices because we are not recognising the contributions that they are making. One evidence of that lack of recognition is the lack of support towards sexual and reproductive health, which is so fundamental. Andrea Thiis-Evensen: Even in Australia, if you have gotten an abortion in New South Wales or Queensland, you may actually risk criminal charges. Maria Tanyag: Why is there, up until now and Australia has got a feminist foreign policy or is moving towards being known for having a feminist foreign policy too. But internally, domestically, there are a lot of ongoing debates around abortion rights in Australia. Again there’s a disconnect between - okay we want women to pursue and rise up to the challenge of governance, political governance. But in everyday life, many women face restrictions to reproductive decision making. That’s something that I’m very interested in, understanding why there is a disconnect and what does that mean for how we are progressing for gender equality more broadly. Andrea Thiis-Evensen: So although we’ve come a long way today when it comes to gender equality some inequalities have been overlooked or forgotten, especially in crisis areas. Maria Tanyag: In the Philippines again it’s a very interesting case because we have got a lot of very good gender equality laws. In fact we have been a regional leader in terms of promoting gender equality in security and development agendas. We have got a lot of very strong prominent women in politics as well, but we need to make sure that that is equalised. Especially for those in situations of crisis, in times of disasters and conflicts, that we are not forgetting that there are gender specific inequalities that women and girls face and it’s rooted to [inequal] [sic] access to health. Andrea Thiis-Evensen: Maria has been looking at women in areas of conflict and in areas of crisis, and she says that these two are interconnected. Maria: In the Philippines, violence is seasonal and disasters are violent. So there’s an interesting overlap that showed me some surprising findings, that conflicts are shaped by weather patterns. They are influenced by resource shortages, they are influenced - conflicts erupt intermittently depending on when an election is supposed to occur because it’s about control over power and resources. So people know the likelihood of when a conflict will erupt and when it won’t. It’s kind of like an early warning system, which normally we understand for weather patterns, but they were understanding it in the context of conflicts. Similarly, in the case of disasters, people, especially in - again the Philippines is a very disaster-prone country - in a disaster-prone region, they were saying that disasters are increasingly violent. Many forms of violence, whether physical or structural violence are experienced in times of disasters. So for them disasters are equally violent and there are specific conflicts that are triggered by disasters. For instance, when there are shortages in the distribution of relief assistance communities tend to have infighting among themselves because of jealously and rivalry and status hierarchies, depending on who has access to what resources as part of disaster relief. Andrea Thiis-Evensen: When Maria did her PhD in the Philippines she heard all these stories from women experiencing inequality in post-disaster and conflict areas. Maria Tanyag: For me what really struck me were stories of women giving birth in internal displacement camp. One anecdote of a woman who described herself as - it’s very gruesome, but she described herself as a pig or cattle where she was giving birth, and because it was in a cramped space, other people were watching her give birth, like a show, like an exhibit. For her that made it more traumatic than the conflict itself that displaced her. Because it dehumanised her. Pregnancy for most people is a special moment, and giving birth is a special moment. Maybe between spouses or couples and celebrated by families. But in conditions where it’s inhumane and unsafe, giving birth contributes to a loss of dignity and can actually heighten the risk of death. These are deaths that can occur long after a conflict has erupted, or even after a disaster has happened. For me what was really, in a way heartbreaking but motivates the kind of work we do, is understanding these women and communities have survived disaster and have survived conflict, but they end up dying because of protracted displacement. Isn’t that something that is really unjust? Especially if it could have been prevented if we can be better at doing humanitarian or security responses. Andrea Thiis-Evensen: There are many feminist movements happening, but some of these movements can actually be counterproductive to gender equality. Maria Tanyag: We need to be able to create distinctions between women’s movements that are feminist, meaning that they are interested in promoting women’s rights and women’s groups, or women’s movements that might be expressing their mobilisation, their rhetoric and their campaign in the language of women’s rights.  But are actually counterproductive to feminist’s goals. I’m talking specifically about conservative elite women who are interested in maintaining, or tying, women’s identities to motherhood for instance. That a woman’s worth and function in society is to be the ideal mother. These same groups of conservative women also perpetuate violence against sexual minorities, by virtue of their influence on policy. When we try to understand the global politics of sexual and reproductive health, we must be conscious that there are also women themselves who do not support broader rights for certain groups of women. Andrea Thiis-Evensen: Maria is one of those people out there who has seen an injustice, seen an issue, and now she is seeking a solution. She has put her words and her research into action. Maria Tanyag: In 2016 I presented evidence from my research to the Commission on Human Rights in the Philippines to emphasise the kind of experiences and human rights violations occurring in internal displacement when the state, or the government, fails to progressively ensure sexual and reproductive health in internal displacements. That is now an ongoing process that’s a Human Rights Committee enquiry on the Philippines to ensure that what is happening in crisis situations, the barriers that are in place there, are understood as a broader structural problem around an inequal [sic] access to health in the Philippines. In fact the neglect of that feeds into the invisibility of sexual and gender-based violence that are occurring in times of crises. Then when you neglect the - or render invisible the violence that women distinctly experience in times of crises, you also indirectly prevent broader groups of women from participating and equally benefiting from what happens after conflict and after disasters. Andrea Thiis-Evensen:  That was Maria Tanyag, thank you so much for listening to this episode of Peace and Gender.

As I was putting the podcast together, I put out a little survey to my subscribers asking what kinds of topics people wanted me to cover. While it is not the most frequent presenting concern in my practice, the most frequent request I got in terms of what to talk about on the show was menopause.I see people in my practice who are dealing with menopause when it is problematic in some way. People report reduced libido, and they talk about changes in their ability to get aroused or be orgasmic. People are sometimes having changes that result in discomfort or pain with sex, so they want to talk about what's happening and to strategize about what kind of things can be improved. We also talk about what kinds of things they may have to change and how to collaborate with their partner to create a really fulfilling sex life over time.My guest on this episode is going to talk about how people experience the changes of menopause in varying degrees. While most women will experience some of these changes, some people are more bothered by the changes than others. We cover what the symptoms are, subtle for some and intense for others. We explain what's happening in your body, what some of the treatment options are, and what you need to keep in mind as you're working with a medical provider in choosing a treatment.We also talk about how important it can be to step up your self-care and overall health as you approach menopause if you haven't done it already.Dr. Stephanie Ring is a gynecologist and an Integrative Medicine practitioner who specializes in sexual health, hormone replacement, and chronic pelvic pain.Her practice, Greater Denver Integrative Gynecology is located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and she's also a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
