    Episode 249: Elevated Ferritin in Menopause: It's Not Just About Iron

    Your ferritin lab came back flagged. Your doctor said "don't worry about it." But what if it's actually telling you something important? At Sky Women's Health, we noticed something in our own practice data: an unusually high proportion of healthy perimenopausal and postmenopausal women were coming back with elevated ferritin. Our pathologist dug into the numbers. The answer had everything to do with menopause. In this episode, I break down: • What ferritin actually measures (it's more complicated than "iron stores") • The estrogen-hepcidin-iron axis — and why it shifts dramatically in perimenopause • Why ferritin rises 3.46x after the final menstrual period — and keeps rising • Why elevated ferritin in midlife women can signal fatty liver and metabolic syndrome, not just iron overload • The honest truth about the "optimal ferritin 30–50" target promoted in some menopause circles — what the evidence supports, and what it doesn't 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com

    Episode 248: The Mental Health Crisis Nobody Warns You About in Perimenopause

    *A note before you press play: this episode includes an open conversation about depression and suicidal ideation. If that's not where you are today, it's okay to come back to this one later. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988.* Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster, host of the podcast I AM HUMAN, is a board-certified pediatrician and lifestyle medicine physician who has lived through depression and suicidal ideation — and she's talking about it. In this episode, Dr. Moyers and Dr. Yami have one of the most honest conversations in women's health about the hidden cost of holding it all together — and what becomes possible when you finally stop. They cover: physician mental health and burnout, the conditioning women absorb from religion and culture, why high-achieving women are often the last to seek help, what rebuilding actually looks like, and how Dr. Yami learned to give herself permission to want what she wants. This is not a perfect-recovery story. This is a permission slip.

    Episode 247: Will My Orgasm Change After Hysterectomy?

    I'm a gynecologist. I perform hysterectomies. And I've spent years not having a good enough conversation with my patients about what might happen to their sex life after surgery. In this episode, I'm covering everything you deserve to know before — or after — a hysterectomy when it comes to orgasm and sexual function. We cover: → Why not all hysterectomies are the same — and why the type you have matters for orgasm → The three pathways to orgasm and which ones are affected by surgery → Total vs. supracervical hysterectomy: does keeping the cervix make a difference? → What happens when the ovaries are removed — and why hormone therapy should start immediately, not weeks later → The question your surgeon almost certainly hasn't asked you (but should) → What's common, what's not, and honest expectations → For those already post-op: what help actually exists I'm Dr. Carolyn Moyers — board-certified OB-GYN, Menopause Society certified physician, Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health and practicing gynecologic surgeon.

    Episode 246: What Menopause Does to Your Gut (And What to Do About It)

    Bloating. Constipation. Abdominal discomfort that came out of nowhere. If you're in perimenopause or postmenopause and your gut doesn't feel like itself anymore — this episode is for you. This week I'm joined by Dr. Dawn Sears, gastroenterologist and hepatologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center, VA physician at VA-North Texas, and physician coach for women through her brand GutGirl MD. Dr. Sears brings decades of clinical expertise and zero tolerance for vague answers to one of the most under-discussed areas of women's midlife health: what menopause actually does to your GI tract. In this episode: Why your gut is like a laundry room — and what happens when the machines stop working How women's GI tracts differ from men's, and why that changes everything about your care The physiology behind bloating, constipation, and abdominal pain in menopause The truth about the microbiome — what the science actually supports (and what's mostly hype) Dr. Sears's go-to recommendations: kefir and simethicone What you can do this week: eliminate dairy and alcohol, lift weights, walk, hydrate, and fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables Colon cancer in young adults: why the data is alarming, what's driving the rise, and what screening options are available right now Myth-busting: colon cleanses, what "normal" bowel frequency actually means, and how to protect your gut when you travel this summer This is the conversation most women never get to have with a GI doctor.

    Episode 244: Vaginal Foreign Bodies & What Gynecologists Want You to Know

    In this episode of the Sky Women’s Health Podcast, Dr. Carolyn Moyers is joined by gynecologists Meredith McClure and Ashley Fuller, hosts of Labia Logic, for an honest conversation about vaginal foreign bodies—something gynecologists see more often than most people realize. From forgotten tampons and menstrual cups to more unusual findings, they discuss why this happens, the symptoms that may signal something isn’t right, and what to expect when you see your gynecologist. The goal is simple: remove the shame, explain the medicine, and remind women that they are not alone. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com And check out more conversations with Dr. McClure and Dr. Fuller on Labia Logic. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/labia-logic/id1805209817?i=1000754643868

    Episode 243: Can’t Find Your Estrogen Patch? The Truth Behind the Nationwide Shortage

    Estrogen patches are becoming harder to find at pharmacies across the country. Why now? In this episode of Sky Women's Health Podcast, Dr. Carolyn Moyers discusses the recent surge in menopause hormone therapy prescriptions and why increased demand has led to shortages of some estradiol patches. For years, fear following early reports from the Women's Health Initiative led many women to avoid hormone therapy. As newer research has clarified the risks and benefits, more women are seeking evidence-based treatment for menopause symptoms. Dr. Moyers explains why the estrogen patch became so popular, what the shortage means, and what options women have if their prescription becomes difficult to fill. Menopause care isn’t one-size-fits-all — and the right treatment should always be personalized. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com
