    Endometriosis Awareness Month: Expanding the Conversation Beyond the Binary || Episode 22

    Endometriosis is often framed as a “women’s disease,” but the reality is more complex. In recognition of Endometriosis Awareness Month, this episode of Menopause Unscripted explores an area of care that is rarely discussed: endometriosis in transgender men and gender-diverse individuals. Research on endometriosis in trans populations remains limited, yet many individuals assigned female at birth continue to experience pelvic pain, endometrial changes, or persistent symptoms even while using testosterone or pursuing gender-affirming care. These gaps in research and clinical understanding can leave patients navigating pain without adequate support or recognition. In this conversation, we examine what current research reveals about endometriosis in transgender men, why this condition is frequently overlooked in gender-diverse care, and how medical systems can better support patients experiencing chronic pelvic pain. We also share educational resources and organizations working to expand access to inclusive care and information. Below are several studies, educational resources, and organizations referenced in this episode for anyone looking to learn more or find support: https://www.instagram.com/charliefrost222?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11274608/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10501128/ https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/12/7/1481 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33583596/ https://www.treatitqueer.org https://www.uclahealth.org/medical-services/gender-health https://www.endofound.org ----- Menopause Unscripted is a women’s health podcast hosted by Dr. Heidi, the creator of Hey Dr. Heidi.

    Scrolling vs. Science: Women’s Health in the Age of Social Media || Episode 19

    Find Nicole All Over The Internet: https://dopekitchen.com Social media has become one of the biggest sources of women’s health information — and misinformation. In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, Dr. Heidi sits down with Nicole, creator of Dope Kitchen, to talk about what happens when wellness content goes viral faster than science. Nicole built Dope Kitchen from a chaotic cooking show into a platform reaching millions across social media, where conversations about nutrition, lifestyle, and health intersect with real life. With a background in entertainment and a massive online audience, she brings a creator’s perspective on how trends spread, why fear-based messaging performs so well, and what responsible influence actually looks like. Together, they unpack the pressure creators face to simplify complex health topics, the rise of hormone panic and supplement culture, and how women can protect themselves from misinformation without tuning out completely. The conversation explores media literacy, nuance in menopause and midlife health conversations, and practical ways to evaluate claims before changing your body, diet, or treatment plan. This episode is about reclaiming curiosity, asking better questions, and learning how to scroll without spiraling. ----- Join Our Patreon To Support & Join the Community https://patreon.com/HeyDrHeidi?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Follow Menopause Unscripted: https://www.instagram.com/menopause.unscripted https://www.tiktok.com/@menopause.unscripted Connect with @HeyDrHeidi: Website: https://www.heydrheidi.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heydrheidi TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heydrheidi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Hey-Dr-Heidi/61568353334042/?utm_campaign=social_link_list&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=later-linkinbio ----- Menopause Unscripted is a women’s health podcast hosted by Dr. Heidi, the creator of Hey Dr. Heidi.

    Can Light Act Like Estrogen? Red Light, Cognition & Mood || Episode 18

    In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, Dr. Heidi is joined by Genevieve Newton of Fringe to unpack what the science actually says about red and near-infrared light therapy (RLT/LT) for brain fog, cognition, mood, and overall cellular health during perimenopause and menopause. The conversation moves from foundational mechanisms—how light works at the mitochondrial and cellular level—to emerging research comparing light’s effects with estrogen, and why some women report cognitive clarity, mood shifts, and energy changes with consistent use. The episode also explores the gut–brain connection, potential combination strategies (including creatine), and how to think about red light therapy as a “supplement” rather than a miracle cure. Key topics include: Brain fog and cognition in midlife and older women Red light therapy vs. estrogen effects Cellular and mitochondrial mechanisms of light therapy Gut–brain connection and metabolic health RLT, mood, and depression research Sunlight vs. red light therapy and skin safety Practical frameworks for using RLT responsibly Referenced research includes peer-reviewed studies on photobiomodulation, cognition, depression, brain fog, and gut–brain signaling. 🎧 Support the show & join the community: Patreon → https://patreon.com/HeyDrHeidi 📲 Follow the show: Instagram & TikTok: @menopause.unscripted 🔗 Connect with Dr. Heidi: Website → https://www.heydrheidi.com Instagram & TikTok: @heydrheidi 🎙️ Want to be on the show?
