    98: Beyond the basics in menopause hormone care with Dr. Alicia Robbins

    Menopause hormone therapy can be life-changing, but finding the right approach isn’t always as simple as taking estrogen and progesterone. If you’re in your 40s and dealing with poor sleep, weight changes, mood shifts, brain fog, hot flashes, or simply feeling unlike yourself, menopause care may require more than the basics. In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch and Dr. Alicia Robbins, a board-certified OB/GYN and menopause specialist, take a closer look at personalized hormone care during perimenopause and menopause. They explore how hormone needs can change throughout the menopause transition, the roles of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and what to consider when hormone therapy isn’t giving you the relief you expected. Dr. Robbins also shares her approach to midlife care, including preventative health, lifestyle, sleep, mood, and treatments that may help address specific symptoms. Listen to the full episode to go beyond the basics of menopause hormone care, and share it with a woman who could benefit from a more personalized approach to her health. ------------------- Connect with Dr. Alicia Robbins Instagram: @aliciarobbinsmd https://www.instagram.com/aliciarobbinsmd Podcast: Call Your Doctor https://www.draliciarobbins.com/podcast Dr. Alicia Robbins is the founder of The Elm, a boutique practice focused on midlife care for women in Greenwich, Connecticut.

    95: Healing your pelvic floor and more with Dr. Rivka Friedman

    Have you been told that bladder leaks, pelvic pain, or discomfort during intimacy are just a normal part of getting older? Many women in perimenopause and menopause experience symptoms like urinary urgency, leaking, pelvic pressure, vaginal discomfort, or pain with sex — but often suffer in silence or assume there's nothing they can do about it. In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch is joined by pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Rivka Friedman for an empowering conversation about pelvic floor health during midlife. They discuss how hormonal changes can impact the pelvic floor, why symptoms like bladder issues, prolapse, and pelvic pain are so common, and how pelvic floor therapy can help women regain comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Whether you're dealing with symptoms yourself or simply want to better understand your body, this episode offers practical insights and hope. You'll learn why pelvic floor health is about much more than Kegels — and why it's never too late to seek support. 🎧 Listen now and discover how caring for your pelvic floor can help you thrive through perimenopause and menopause.
