    Episode 271: Why Is My Body Changing in Perimenopause? What It Means for Your Heart, Blood Sugar, and Weight

    Many women in their 40s and 50s eat the same way and move the same way they always have. Their bodies change anyway. The waistband gets tighter while the scale barely moves. The labs come back normal. The advice is still to eat less and move more. Dr. Carolyn Moyers talks with Dr. Traci DeSplinter, a board-certified OB/GYN and obesity medicine physician, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and founder of Refined Women’s Health, a direct care practice for midlife women in the Houston area. Dr. DeSplinter has more than 25 years in practice and additional training through the National Lipid Association in the management of cholesterol disorders. They talk about how body composition shifts across the menopause transition, why insulin resistance can be present years before a diabetes diagnosis, and which tests are worth a conversation with your doctor. They explain why perimenopause is a window for heart and metabolic health, where hormone therapy fits, and how GLP-1 medications are being used in midlife women. Dr. DeSplinter also takes on the misconceptions that keep women from getting care. This episode is for education and is not a substitute for individual medical care. Please talk with your doctor before starting, stopping, or changing any medication. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com Course: https://courses.drcarolynmoyers.com 🔗 Connect with Dr. Desplinter 📸 Instagram: @tracidesplintermd 🌐 Website: https://www.refinedwomenshealth.com

    Episode 270: Do I Really Need a Mammogram?

    A lot of women in midlife put off their mammogram. Some are afraid of what it will find. Some are busy. Some have seen ads suggesting the radiation is a reason to skip it, and that a different scan can take its place. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Carolyn Moyers talks with Dr. Ann Kurian, a board-certified general surgeon with fellowship training in breast surgical oncology. They talk about which screening guideline to follow and why the recommendations differ, what dense breasts mean for your mammogram, and who should consider genetic testing or additional imaging. They put mammogram radiation in context and discuss how to think about radiation-free breast scans marketed directly to women. They also cover what early detection changes about treatment, how hormone therapy fits for women with breast concerns, and what happens after a woman finds a lump. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com 🔗 Connect with Dr. Ann Kurian: https://thecentertx.com/our-care-team/ann-kurian World Menopause Day Event - get your tickets https://event.skywomenshealth.com/world-menopause-day-8703 Course: https://courses.drcarolynmoyers.com/

    Episode 269: Why Do My Joints Hurt? The Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Jennifer FitzPatrick

    Joints that started aching in your 40s. A shoulder that froze for no clear reason. Workouts that used to build strength and now just leave you sore. Imaging that comes back clean. Women are told this is just getting older. That isn't an answer Dr. Carolyn Moyers talks with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jennifer FitzPatrick about the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause. The term was proposed in 2024 to describe how falling estrogen affects joints, muscle, tendon, and bone. They talk about why joint pain and frozen shoulder show up so often in menopause and what a good evaluation should look like. They also cover where bone density screening and hormone therapy fit, and why strength training matters more after 40. Dr. Jennifer FitzPatrick is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com 🔗 Connect with Dr. Fitzpatrick 📸 Instagram: @jenfitzpatrickmd 🌐 Website: https://jenfitzpatrickmd.com World Menopause Day Event - get your tickets https://event.skywomenshealth.com/world-menopause-day #menopause #perimenopause #musculoskeletalsyndromeofmenopause #menopausejointpain #frozenshoulder

    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.

Do not stop or change prescribed treatment without talking with your doctor. 🔗 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 Course: https://courses.drcarolynmoyers.com/

    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.

    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).
