    A Season of Self‑Care: A Holiday Message from Dr. Burki

    This week as we roll into the holidays,  I wanted to slow things down and speak to you heart‑to‑heart. As the year comes to a close and the holidays surround us with reflection, rest, and reconnection, I’m reminded of how important it is to pause—not just in life, but in how we care for ourselves. This episode is about empowerment, yes—but it’s also about compassion. For your body. For your mind. For yourself. Understanding your health is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, and asking questions, advocating for clarity, and showing up for your well‑woman visits are acts of self‑respect. You deserve to feel informed, heard, and supported every time you sit in an exam room. I also want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to you. This podcast exists because of this community, and I am so thankful for every listener who trusts me with their time and their health. So much care goes into each episode, and knowing that it reaches you makes it all worthwhile. As I prepare to take a short holiday break to spend time with my family, I hope you’re able to find moments of rest and connection as well—whether that’s with loved ones, chosen family, or simply yourself. The holidays can be joyful, complicated, and emotional all at once, and wherever you are in that, you are not alone. As we move into a new year, I encourage you to carry this reminder with you: your health matters. Knowledge is power. And caring for yourself is not something to put off—it’s something you deserve now. Thank you for being here. I’ll see you soon, refreshed and ready for another year of learning, growth, and honest conversations.

    Menopause After Hysterectomy: You’re Questions Answered

    In this episode of Gyno Info Frank Talk, I sit down to answer a really important listener question about what menopause looks like after a hysterectomy. It’s something I get asked often, and I’m always glad to clear up the confusion. I walk listeners through how we identify and manage menopause when the uterus has been removed but the ovaries are still in place. I explain the difference between natural menopause and surgical menopause, what symptoms you might notice, and how your body changes during this time. Most importantly, I talk about why it’s so essential to rely on accurate medical information rather than guesswork or myths. I also touch on hormone replacement therapy—what it is, who it may help, and why talking with your healthcare provider is key to finding the safest, most effective plan for you.
