The Ultimate Guide to Women’s Sexual Health, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) &amp; Menopause

<p>This episode is a MUST listen. Mel calls it one of the most important conversations she has ever had on The Mel Robbins Podcast. </p> <p>Most women don’t know this, and this information could save the life of a woman you love. </p> <p>If you are thinking you’re “fine,” while quietly suffering through symptoms that are treatable, you probably don’t know this life-saving medical fact either. </p> <p>Today, Mel is joined by Dr. Rachel Rubin, MD, a leading urologist and sexual health expert, to talk about hormones, menopause, libido, pelvic health, UTIs, and what’s happening in your body. </p> <p>In fact, since recording this episode, the majority of women on the team have spoken to their doctors about what Dr. Rubin shared. </p> <p>You’re about to hear what she wishes every woman knew sooner: Almost every issue that you're dealing with “down there” is likely related to changing hormones. </p> <p>If you’ve ever dealt with a UTI, leaking, urgency, dryness, painful sex, or that feeling that something is “off” down there, and you’ve been told it’s normal, it’s aging, or it’s just something you have to live with, this episode could change your life and have you asking, Why have I not heard this before? </p> <p>Do not learn this too late. </p> <p>By the time most women get the right information, they have already lost years to pain, discomfort, anxiety, and unnecessary treatments. </p> <p>No matter how old you are, all women need to understand this information.</p> <p>In this episode, you’ll learn: </p> <p>-Why recurring UTIs, urgency, frequency, and leakage are often hormonal, not “just sex” or “just aging”, and they can be fixed </p> <p>-What GSM (genitourinary syndrome) is, and how it impacts women in perimenopause, menopause, during breastfeeding, and even while using birth control  </p> <p>-The safe, evidence-backed treatment that can prevent UTIs by more than half, and why almost no one tells women about it  </p> <p>-Why many women need testosterone as a natural way to increase libido, mood, energy, orgasm, and the feeling of “I’m back” </p> <p>-That 1 in 4 women have a treatable condition that prevents orgasm, and why doctors don’t know how to check it, diagnose it, or treat it  </p> <p>This is the conversation that will make you understand your body differently, and realize you have been tolerating things you do not have to tolerate. </p> <p>If you’re a woman in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, this is information you deserve to have now. </p> <p>Your health should not be a mystery.</p> <p>You should not have to suffer. </p> <p>This conversation will give you the truth about your health and may even save your life or the lives of a woman you love. </p> <p>For every single study and resource Dr. Rubin mentions, <a href="https://www.melrobbins.com/episode/episode-380/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">click here</a> for the episode show notes.

This Conversation Will Change How You Think About Your Entire Life

<p>In today’s episode, you’re going to hear a conversation that will help you find meaning again - especially if you’ve been feeling lost, stuck, stretched thin, or quietly wondering, “Does any of this even matter?” </p><p>Joining Mel is Ocean Vuong - one of the most acclaimed writers of our time and the bestselling author of <i>On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous</i>. </p><p>His newest book, <i>The Emperor of Gladness</i>, moved Mel so deeply she knew she had to bring him on the podcast - because Ocean has a rare gift: he puts words to feelings you’ve had, but never knew how to say out loud. </p><p>Ocean is an award-winning poet, a MacArthur Fellowship “Genius Grant” recipient, and a professor at NYU.

<p>If you’ve been thinking, “What is going on with my body?” Today, you are getting your answers. </p><p>You’re going to learn the real science and brand-new research of perimenopause and menopause and the simple, research-backed changes that can help you feel stronger, calmer, and more in control, starting now. </p><p>For way too long, women have been left guessing about hormone changes, weight gain, sleep issues, mood swings, and why workouts that used to “work” suddenly don’t. </p><p>Most of the advice out there is outdated, generalized, or based on bodies that are not female. </p><p>That changes today. </p><p>In this eye-opening episode, Mel brought back her most popular guest of all time: Dr. Stacy Sims, PhD, to give you the exact plan on how to train your body to adapt to the changes, instead of just “dealing with it.” </p><p>Dr. Sims is a professor at Stanford and Auckland University of Technology, a world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, and a leading researcher on female-specific health and nutrition. </p><p>She breaks down why menopause is not the end of you. It’s just a transition, and with the right tools, your body can thrive for the next 40 years. </p><p>Today’s episode has solutions, including new information that goes beyond what has ever been shared on this podcast before. </p><p>In this episode, you’ll learn: </p><p>-How to rewire your body to thrive without estrogen</p><p>-Why belly fat shows up in menopause (and why it’s not the same kind of fat as before) </p><p>-The specific diet and nutrition that help with mood and sleep </p><p>-What happens to your brain, mood, sleep, and body fat when estrogen drops </p><p>-Why menopause is basically reverse puberty  </p><p>-The #1 thing that changes everything in midlife: heavy strength training (and how to start in 10 minutes) </p><p>-The new cardio that works with menopause (short sprint intervals) and why “moderate hard” workouts always backfire </p><p>-The injuries nobody warns you about – frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis – and what to do about them</p><p>Bookmark this episode and share it with every single woman in your life. You do not have to live with symptoms that can be resolved, and you do not have to suffer.
