    Episode 268: Lichen Sclerosus, Vaginal Lasers, and What the New Research Really Shows

    Vulvar itching, burning, tearing and pain with sex that never responded to yeast treatment may be lichen sclerosus. In October 2026, the largest randomized trial to date on fractional CO2 laser for lichen sclerosus was published in Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dr. Carolyn Moyers explains what it found, what it didn’t, and how laser fits alongside the steroid ointment that remains first-line treatment. She also covers how often lichen sclerosus overlaps with genitourinary syndrome of menopause, why vaginal estrogen still matters, and what sham-controlled trials show about laser for menopause-related dryness.

    Episode 267: Your Hot Flashes Are Trying to Tell You Something: The Hidden Heart, Metabolic & Mental Health Risks of Menopause

    Menopause isn't just hot flashes — it's a window into your heart, your metabolism, and your mental health. Dr. Carolyn Moyers talks with family medicine physician Dr. Tolo about why hot flashes deserve to be treated as a vital sign, what midlife does to cardiovascular and metabolic risk, the mood changes that get missed, and how women and their doctors can catch it early — while there's still time to change the story. If you've ever been told "it's just menopause," start here. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com 🔗Connect with Dr Tolulope Olabintan 📸 Instagram: @dr_olabintanmd 🌐 Website https://www.livingspringmedicals.com/

    Episode 266: Room Spinning, Ears Ringing, Can't Sleep: Is It Menopause? An ENT Answers

    The room spins with a turn of the head. Ears feel full for weeks. Ringing starts and doesn't stop. Exhaustion sets in, and because there's no snoring, no one tests for sleep apnea. Midlife women bring these symptoms to their gynecologist, and many have already been told it's menopause. Sometimes that's true. Often it's only part of the answer. Dr. Carolyn Moyers talks with Dr. Ashley Agan, a board-certified otolaryngologist in Dallas, about what midlife women are asking ENTs. They discuss vestibular migraine, which can cause vertigo with no headache and often surfaces in perimenopause. Dr. Agan explains why some women hear their own voice echo in one ear after weight loss, and why sleep apnea in women often looks like insomnia and fatigue. They also cover hearing and tinnitus, burning mouth, chronic throat clearing, dry nose, and when a symptom needs an ENT. And the ENT has a menopause story of her own! 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com 🔗Connect with Dr. Ashley Agan 📸 Instagram: @ashleyaganmd 🌐 Website https://www.scottieent.com/ World Menopause Day 2026 Hosted by Sky Women's Health: https://event.skywomenshealth.com/world-menopause-day-8703

    Episode 265: DIY Hormone Therapy: When “Personalized” Goes Too Far

    Hormone therapy can be life-changing. Personalized care does not mean anything goes. In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers explains why recreating a monthly bleed after menopause is not the same thing as restoring a menstrual cycle, why endometrial protection matters when systemic estrogen is used in a woman with a uterus, and what clinicians can consider when oral progesterone is not tolerated. She also takes a nuanced look at off-label vaginal use of 100- or 200-mg micronized progesterone capsules, what the evidence can and cannot tell us about endometrial protection, and why estrogen dose, progesterone dose, duration, bleeding, and follow-up all matter. One important distinction: none of this applies to recommended low-dose vaginal estrogen used for genitourinary syndrome of menopause. That is a different clinical situation, and it is generally not a reason to add a progestogen. This is not an anti-hormone episode. Dr. Moyers prescribes hormone therapy every day. It is an episode about what separates personalized medicine from experimentation. Related listening: Episode 253 — "The Hormone Question I Answer Multiple Times a Day: Progesterone vs Progestins." Important: This episode is educational and is not individualized medical advice. Do not start, stop, or change prescription hormone therapy based on a podcast. Postmenopausal bleeding should be discussed with a clinician and appropriately evaluated. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com World Menopause Day Event - get your tickets https://event.skywomenshealth.com/world-menopause-day-8703 Now is the time to have your voices heard!

    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.
