    Episode 264: Menopause in the News: The Truth Behind the Hormones-and-Your Brain Headlines, Plus What Testosterone Really Does

    The menopause headlines keep contradicting each other — hormones and Alzheimer’s, testosterone as a miracle fix, and a week later, “none of it holds up.” In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers reads the actual studies behind this month’s headlines and tells you what’s real, what got oversold, and what it means for you. In this episode: • Two new studies on hormones and dementia — and the part the headlines skipped: the benefit didn’t clearly apply to women in typical, natural menopause • Why the benefit concentrated in women who lost estrogen early — and how that lines up with what guidelines already recommend • Risk reduction vs. prevention: why the difference is the whole point • Testosterone for women: what the newest review shows it truly helps — and why it’s not a brain or energy drug • Why there’s still no FDA-approved testosterone product for women — what it means to microdose the men’s version, and what an approved product would change • The FDA public workshop on testosterone in menopausal women (Sept 17, 2026) — and how to add your voice to the official record • A question you can use on the next headline you see This episode is for education and is not medical advice. Talk with your own doctor about what’s right for you. • The FDA workshop “Testosterone Use in Menopausal Women” is open to the public: register to watch, and submit a public comment through docket FDA-2026-N-5479 (comments open through Oct 19, 2026).

    Episode 263: Can't Use Hormone Therapy: Your Menopause Options Are Bigger Than You Think

    First, the part no one should miss: for most healthy women, hormone therapy is safe and beneficial — and in November 2025 the FDA removed the decades-old boxed warnings that scared a generation away from it. So this isn’t an anti-hormone episode. It’s for the woman who was told she can’t use hormones, or who has chosen not to, and needs to know what comes next. Sparked by a listener’s Instagram comment, Dr. Carolyn Moyers names who genuinely can’t use hormone therapy — then turns to what patients ask about most: protecting your bones, heart, and brain through menopause, with or without hormones. (For the full non-hormonal hot-flash menu, this episode points you back to Episode 132, “Nonhormonal Management of Menopause Hot Flashes.”) In this episode: Why most healthy women can use hormone therapy safely — and what the FDA’s 2025 warning change means The genuine hard stops — and why many of them are more open than they sound (route, and exact diagnosis) Your bones: why menopause accelerates bone loss, and the plan that protects your skeleton without hormones The evidence-based non-hormonal menu for hot flashes — what works, and what to stop wasting money on Your heart: the leading cause of death in women, and the levers that actually move it Your brain: what really reduces dementia risk (and why there’s no magic pill) Why bones, heart, brain, and symptoms are one connected system — and the single change that moves all of them Where to start: the numbers to know and the questions to bring to your doctor Referenced Episodes: Nonhormonal Management of Hot Flashes Episode 132 - Apple Dementia Prevention Episode 251 - Apple Why 65 Is Too Late to Screen Your Bones Episode 261 - Apple 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com #menopause #perimenopause #hormonetherapy #nonhormonal #hotflashes #breastcancersurvivor #gyncancer #bloodclot #bonehealth #hearthealth #brainhealth #GSM #tamoxifen #midlifewomen #skywomenshealth #drcarolynmoyers

    Episode 262: The Pill Isn't Your Only Option in Perimenopause — Here's the Whole Menu

    You're waking up at 3 a.m. drenched, your moods don't feel like your own, and your once-predictable period has gone haywire. You finally ask for help — and you're told to just take a birth control pill, or to come back when your cycles stop. Here's what I want you to know: you don't have to wait to feel better, and the pill is one option, not the only one. In this episode, I take that myth apart and lay out the whole menu. I start with what I rule out first — because thyroid disease and insulin resistance can masquerade as perimenopause — and the full lab panel I run to catch them. Then the two questions that actually decide your treatment: do you need contraception, and what are your cycles doing? You'll hear why a birth control pill and menopausal hormone therapy are not the same medicine, how the hormonal IUD can cover contraception and protect your uterine lining while you add estradiol for symptoms, and why the delivery form — patch, gel, spray, ring, or pill — is part of the decision. Whatever you start with, hormone therapy is never one-and-done. The magic happens in the edits.

    Episode 261: Osteopenia & Osteoporosis in Midlife: Why 65 Is Too Late to Screen Your Bones

    Your bones are not static. They're living tissue that rebuilds your whole life — and in the years around menopause, that balance can tip toward loss, fast. So why are most women told to wait until 65 for their first bone density scan? In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers welcomes back bone health specialist Dr. Kristi Tough DeSapri of Bone and Body Women's Health to talk about why 65 is too late for many women, when you should actually get screened, and what to do at every step — from a scary "osteopenia" result to a full osteoporosis diagnosis. In this episode: Why your bones aren't static — how bone actually rebuilds What estrogen does for bone, and why loss speeds up in perimenopause Why the standard age-65 screening guideline is too late for many women When to get your first (baseline) DXA scan — and who's higher risk How to read your results: T-scores and FRAX, without the panic Osteopenia diagnosis — what it means and what to do next Where hormone therapy fits for bone protection How osteoporosis is treated: bone-preserving vs. bone-building medications The exercise, calcium, vitamin D, and protein that actually protect bone If you want the foundation, go back to Episode 149: Bone and Body Health, where Dr. Tough DeSapri first joined us.

    Episode 260: Suddenly Allergic to Everything? Perimenopause, Menopause & Your Immune System | Allergist Dr. Karen Kaufman

    You've eaten the same foods for decades — and suddenly, in your 40s, wine gives you a headache, your skin itches at night with no rash, you're congested year-round, and hives show up out of nowhere. If you've ever typed "why am I suddenly allergic to everything" into Google, this episode is for you. Perimenopause changes more than your cycle — it changes your immune system. Estrogen and histamine are in constant conversation, and when hormones start fluctuating, that conversation gets loud. Board-certified OB/GYN and menopause specialist Dr. Carolyn Moyers sits down with Dr. Karen Kaufman, a double board-certified allergist-immunologist and founder of Corneva Clinic, to explain the midlife allergy surge no one warned you about. In this episode: • Why new allergies, wine intolerance, and food reactions show up in perimenopause • What estrogen does to mast cells and histamine — and why fluctuation matters more than decline • Hormone or histamine? How two doctors tell apart flushing, palpitations, insomnia, and headaches • Itchy skin at night, itchy ears, hives, and year-round congestion — what's actually driving midlife itch • Histamine intolerance and MCAS: what the evidence says, and where social media gets ahead of the science • Low-histamine diets — what's reasonable, what's over-restriction • Hives or flushing after starting hormone therapy: why it's information, not a reason to quit, the magic happens in the edits • What to track before your appointment, and whether to see your menopause doctor or an allergist first 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com 🔗Connect with Dr. Kaufman 📸 Instagram: @dr.kaufmanallergy 🌐 Website: https://kaufmanallergy.com https://cornevaclinic.com

    Episode 259: The Estradiol Patch Shortage: Why You Can’t Fill Your Prescription — and What to Do About It

    You call the pharmacy to refill your estradiol patch — and it’s on backorder. Again. Or the brand changes every month, the adhesive won’t stay on, and nobody can tell you when your medication is coming back. Estrogen patches are in shortage across the United States, and the strain is spreading to progesterone capsules and estradiol gels and creams. In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers sits down with Lauren Darisse, General Counsel and COO of The HRT Club, to explain what is actually happening in the hormone therapy supply chain — and what you can do about it. In this episode: – Why estradiol patches are so hard to find, and why demand for menopausal hormone therapy has surged – Why brand consistency matters with patches — adhesives, wear time, and absorption are not interchangeable – How a direct-from-manufacturer membership pharmacy works – What to do first if your patch, progesterone, or gel is on backorder this week – How to spot a legitimate hormone therapy source online About the guest: Lauren Darisse, Esq. is the General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer of The HRT Club, where she built the legal and operational infrastructure behind an insurance-free hormone therapy platform. She brings more than a decade of healthcare legal and compliance leadership from digital health companies including The Pill Club, One Medical, and Iora Health.

    Episode 177 (Updated for 2026): Is Concierge Medicine Worth It? Why We Left Insurance (and the 10-Minute Visit)

    In July of 2025, Sky Women's Health made the biggest change in our practice's history: we left insurance entirely. In this episode, I'm finally telling the whole story. Why the insurance system pays for volume instead of quality. Why a real perimenopause history — everything you've tried, what worked, what didn't — cannot be taken in a 10-minute visit. Why hormone therapy fails when there's no follow-up built in. And what it means that we practice comprehensive gynecology — thyroid, sleep, heart health, abnormal bleeding — not just hormones. If you've ever left an appointment with half your list unmentioned, this episode will explain exactly why that kept happening — and what care looks like when the clock is gone.

    Episode 258: Vaginal Botox for Painful Sex: When Your Pelvic Floor Won't Relax — with Dr. Chailee Moss

    She's been told to have a glass of wine. To just relax. That the pain is in her head. And she is still in pain — every time she has sex, every time she uses a tampon, sometimes just sitting at her desk. What she may have is a hypertonic pelvic floor: muscles stuck in a state of tension they cannot release on their own. In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers sits down with Dr. Chailee Moss, board-certified OB/GYN at the Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders in Washington, DC, and one of the country's leading experts in sexual pain — to talk about a treatment most women have never been offered: vaginal Botox. In this episode: • What a hypertonic pelvic floor actually is — and why it is so often missed • Why painful sex in midlife is not always "just hormones" • Who is a candidate for vaginal Botox, and what has to be tried first • What the procedure is really like: units, timeline, results, and side effects • Whether pelvic floor physical therapy is still necessary alongside Botox • Dr. Moss's current clinical study on incobotulinumtoxinA for pelvic floor dysfunction • Her published JAMA research on medical gaslighting in vulvovaginal care If sex hurts, tampons hurt, or exams hurt — and no one has been able to tell you why — this episode is for you. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com 🔗Connect with Dr. Moss 📸 Instagram: @drchaileemoss 🎥Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vulva-talk/id1800293848?l=vi 🌐 Website: https://vulvodynia.com/ Study refererenced: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2833711?__cf_chl_f_tk=OLsdlLvt_yGlGELQw_cAXUG3OvtyeWEIHUOmORJNnKg-1783169445-1.0.1.1-pul.JSpT5O0ZhZ3a2S4.ewkDiByn6Lwj3LUpBR3DIng
