    S3 Ep130: Are You Ever Done with Menopause?
    May 30 2024
    … and how to increase longevity with and without hormone therapy The idea that menopause only lasts for a few years is a common misconception. You may have even been told by a medical professional that when you no longer have hot flashes, you are done with menopause! But menopause means you’re no longer producing estrogen. There are hormone receptors throughout the body and there are lifelong consequences of being without estrogen even if perimenopausal symptoms are in the rear-view mirror.

    S3 Ep129: PCOS Problems Post Menopause with Dr. Allison Rodgers
    May 23 2024
    When I first learned about PCOS during my training, I was told that once a woman with PCOS hit menopause, irregular periods, excess hair growth dealing with fertility problems and other manifestations of PCOS were in the rear-view mirror. And that’s true, but we now know that women who had PCOS during the reproductive years, are not entirely off the hook down the road and that PCOS early in life is associated with several health issues later in life. Today I am having a conversation with reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Alison Rogers, about the impact of PCOS later in life. The history of PCOS, AKA Stein Levinthal SyndromeWhat Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome isHealth concerns of young women with PCOSIf there is a genetic predisposition to PCOSWhy women with PCOS are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseaseWhat happens to women with PCOS when they go through menopausePost menopause risks in women with a history of PCOSIf women with PCOS can safely use hormone therapyWrap Up!

    S3 Ep128: Can you Exercise Your Hot Flashes Away? A Journal Club with Dr. Maria Sophocles
    May 16 2024
    While not everyone is necessarily good about regular physical activity, no one questions that it’s good for you. Cardiovascular health, weight management, cognitive function, mood, better sleep and even reducing the risk of many kinds of cancer are all established benefits to moving as opposed to sitting on your butt all day. But, when it comes to the impact of exercise when it comes to reducing hot flashes, the jury is still out. Dr. Maria Sophocles is the Medical Director of Women’s Healthcare of Princeton. She is a certified menopause practitioner and has a particular interest in non-hormonal approaches to help with menopause symptoms. In this episode, we discussed a study that was recently published in the Journal Menopause titled “The influence of habitual physical activity and sedentary behavior on objective and subjective hot flashes at midlife” Link to article: Witkowski, Sarah PhD1; White, Quinn BA1; Shreyer, Sofiya MA2; Brown, Daniel E.
