    Why Your Hot Flashes Are Worse Than Your Friends’

    Hot flashes are a common, disruptive symptom of menopause, but you do not have to suffer in silence. Over 2 million women enter menopause in the US each year, and nearly 50% experience moderate to severe hot flashes in their first year. In this episode of Go to Health, Jonathan Marx speaks with Dr. Diana Bitner, a board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Society practitioner, about exactly what happens during a hot flash and how you can best talk to your doctor about finding relief. Dr. Bitner explains how the loss of estrogen triggers hyperactivity in the hypothalamus, causing your body to simulate a cooling event even in comfortable temperatures. She categorizes hot flashes from mild (a sensation of warmth) to severe (when warmth and sweating disrupt daily activities like sleep or work). Dr. Bitner recommends coming to your primary care provider or OB/GYN with a tracked list of symptoms. She also discusses LYNKUET, an FDA-approved, non-hormonal treatment option for moderate to severe hot flashes.

    You Flu Shot Could be Better than You Think with the NEW mRNA Vaccine

    A new mRNA flu vaccine could offer adults 50 and older a powerful new way to protect themselves against serious illness this season. In this episode of Go to Health, Jonathan Marx speaks with Bishoy Rizkalla, PhD, Vice President of Medical Affairs for Infectious Diseases at Moderna, to discuss how this newly FDA-approved vaccine works and why it is a game-changer for public health. Key Insights: - Unlike traditional vaccines that rely on a 70-year-old egg-based manufacturing process, this new vaccine uses mRNA technology to deliver temporary instructions that train your immune system to detect and defeat the virus. - In massive clinical studies involving over 40,000 individuals, the mRNA flu vaccine was shown to be approximately 27% more effective than traditional flu vaccines in preventing flu illness. - As we age, our immune systems weaken and chronic conditions make it harder to recover from infections; in fact, the CDC reports that nine out of ten flu-related deaths occur in adults 65 and older. - Remember the saying "Flu before Boo"—experts highly recommend getting your seasonal flu vaccination before Halloween.
