In this empowering episode of the Health Trip Podcast, I dive into the essential blueprint for assembling your ultimate healthcare dream team during midlife, emphasizing that navigating menopause isn't a solo journey but a collaborative effort with specialized experts. I break down the core players: Start with a Primary Care Physician (PCP) as your quarterback, overseeing general health and coordinating referrals; an OBGYN for reproductive and hormonal insights; and a menopause care expert, like a certified menopause practitioner, to tailor treatments for hot flashes, mood swings, and libido changes. For heart health, which becomes crucial post-menopause, a preventive cardiologist or lipid expert monitors cholesterol and cardiovascular risks, while a dermatologist addresses skin changes like dryness or acne from hormonal shifts. Don't overlook a bone health expert, such as an endocrinologist or rheumatologist, to safeguard against osteoporosis through DEXA scans and nutrition advice.
I review them all and add additional bonus players to round out a robust team for this second act of your life. Don't miss this episode - it's all about prevention.

Women's Sexual Pleasure Tools For Intimacy During Menopause - #109
Many women struggle to discuss their sexual health and pleasure with their providers, friends, and family members. And for good reason. They're sensitive topics to bring up. Women are navigating various physiological changes during the menopause transition (weight gain, hair loss, insomnia), and to further complicate things, changes are happening in their vagina and vulva - not exactly coffee talk topics. Or are they? Midlife women need to normalize our sexual health and pleasure so that we can improve our sex lives for the next 30-40 years. After all, we will be postmenopausal women until the day we die. A healthy sex life is part of our longevity equation.
In this episode, we delve into the impact of hormones, particularly testosterone, on libido during midlife and beyond. Additionally, we’ll explore somewhat controversial topics, such as vaginal rejuvenation therapies, and cosmetic gynocologic procedures, their benefits, and how they enhance comfort, confidence, and intimacy. Plus, we’ll discuss tools like vibrators and other strategies to reignite passion and connection.
My guest today is Dr. Sameena Rahman, a board-certified OB/GYN, sex-med gynecologist, and menopause specialist with an academic affiliation at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. She is the founder of the Center for Gynecology and Cosmetics, a successful practice that emphasizes evidence-based medicine. Dr. Rahman is dedicated to evaluating and treating each patient with compassion, trauma-informed care, and an awareness of personal bias. Additionally, she hosts the podcast Gyno Girl Presents: Sex, Drugs & Hormones and is working on a book exploring sexual function from the lens of different cultures, norms, and religions.
