As 2024 ends, I decided to revisit the top episodes from last year. If I were to go by my favorites, choosing would be impossible. According to the number of downloads, the two top contenders are Top Tips for Skin and Hair with Dr. Ellen Gendler and Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Vonda Wright. I am going to update Dr. Gendler's episode in a few weeks.
In this episode I am going to revisit Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Vonda Wright. Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon has made it her mission to raise awareness about the musculoskeletal changes that occur because of menopause, and how a lack of estrogen sabotages the ability to be active. And that lack of activity not only impacts bone health and cardiovascular health but also cognitive function.
At the end, is an update on what has happened since I recorded that episode.
In this episode:
· The six symptoms of musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause
· The relationship between GSM and dementia
· Why frozen shoulder is the number one complaint
· The relationship of menopause to osteoarthritis
· The impact of mobility on cognitive function
· The impact of menopause on frailty
· The impact of testosterone on musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause
· Exercise and cancer risk reduction
· How heavy your weights should be to increase muscle power
Dr. Wright’s publication
Wright VJ, et al. The musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause. Climacteric. 2024 Oct;27(5):466-472.

There were two criteria to make it to this list. One, it had to be something I already own or would like to own. Second, there had to be a scientifically proven health benefit to using these items.
And if you have already finished your shopping, these are great gifts to buy for yourself.

An “MD” after the name is no assurance that the person to whom you are about to bare your soul—and your vagina—is an expert when it comes to menopause.
In this episode, I am going to walk you through the steps to find someone you can trust to fix your flashes, foggy brain, and failing sex life.
Head over to Substack.com/@DrStreicher for a transcript of the episode, and bonus! I posted an article with specific questions to ask during a menopause consultation (and answers you might get) that will let you know if you can trust this person to help you manage your menopause.
If Your Doctor Doesn’t Have a VaginaSpecialists that may be menopause expertiseAdvanced practice nurses and physician assistantsWhy most doctors know very little about menopauseWhat letters mean after a doctor’s nameThe difference between a license and board certificationWhat it takes to maintain board certificationWhat it means to be “double boarded” Why Anti-Aging is not a recognized board certificationWhat academic titles such as “Professor” indicateHow I became a menopause expertWhat it means to be a Menopause Society Certified PractitionerChecking out publicationsPhysician Referral servicesThe problem with consumer referral sitesRed flags to look for on doctor websitesIf you should educate your own doctorIf concierge doctors are worth itTelehealth- and what to look for
Go to substack.com/@drstreicher for my list of specific questions to ask (and potential answers you might get ) that are pretty good indications that the person you are seeing is an actual expert.

Chances are you have heard at least one expert say that systemic hormone therapy will prevent heart disease. But you also may have heard other experts say, No- if you don’t have hot flashes or low bone mass, it is not recommended to take hormone therapy to prevent heart disease down the road. So, who is right? Why is this controversial? Isn’t the data, the data? In this episode, I explain why experts are not all on the same page when it comes to the long-term cardiovascular benefits of hormone therapy.
· The Difference between a Randomized Controlled Trial and an Observational Trial
· Why the WHI was an excellent study- and why it was problematic
· What we learned From the WHI about Hormones and Cardiovascular Health
· The Study of Women Across the Nation (SWAN)
· What we learned From the SWAN about Hormones and Cardiovascular Health
· What we learned From the SWAN about Hormone therapy and Cardiovascular Risk
· What we learned From the SWAN about Hormone therapy and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
· If hormone therapy should be prescribed for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease- the view of the two opposing sides

Men have always had the clear advantage of being able to inspect their genitals with very little effort on their part. Women’s genitals are not quite as accessible, resulting in a lot more uncertainty about what’s normal and what’s not. No wonder women are frequently blindsided by not only the physical changes that occur with the onset of menopause but also symptoms like dryness, painful sex, itching, recurrent urinary tract infections, and that constant “gotta go” feeling!

Studies reveal that 70% of women experience a sense of being overlooked socially and professionally once they hit 50. The term for this phenomenon is Invisible Woman Syndrome. In this episode, I am joined by Christine Morrison, who writes about the social constructs in the fashion, beauty and wellness industry that inform the way society views women, and the way women often feel about themselves as they get older. Christine Morrison’s writing has appeared in print and online vehicles such as The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Quality Edit and Margot Magazine, among others, and in advertising campaigns for Alastin Skincare, French Connection, Juicy Couture and more. Prior to focusing on writing full-time, Morrison held leadership positions in the fashion and beauty industries, including serving as Global Vice President of Beauty and Apparel Marketing for Calvin Klein.
Her forthcoming book, “Clothes Minded: Fashionable Essays About Finding Yourself,” – in which she reflects on the meaning behind, and the humor in, the relationship between her sartorial self and formation of identity – is slated to publish Spring, 2026.
This episode will change the way you think about aging

Most women are very familiar with the concept of a moisturizer since they have been conditioned to constantly apply one to their face and neck to avoid dire consequences like wrinkles and fine lines While the tissue that lines the vagina is not the same as the skin on the rest of your body, when estrogen declines, both the skin on your face and the “skin” that lines the vagina, become dry and thin. Over-the-counter long-lasting vaginal moisturizers are intended to be used regularly in anticipation of sexual activity. Moisturizers hydrate and thicken vaginal tissue to restore natural lubrication. In addition, regular use of vaginal moisturizers may also help with non-sexual symptoms like burning, irritation and dryness.
· The difference between vaginal lubricants and long-acting moisturizers
· Why products are often labeled as moisturizers when they are lubricants
· The two categories of vaginal moisturizers that have been shown in clinical trials to change tissue
o Polycarbophil (Replens™ Long-lasting Vaginal Moisturizer)
o Hyaluronic Acid (Reveree™, Hayalo Gyn™)
· HOW these products work

Managing menopause in the face of cancer can be complicated. Many women are made to think that they should just be grateful to be alive and not complain about their all day all night hot flashes, brain fog and sex that is excruciatingly painful. Many oncologists are not experts when it comes to menopause or sexual function and don’t bring it up or give information that isn’t accurate. Many women aren’t aware that hormone therapy may be safe, and if it’s not, that there are non-hormonal options to solve virtually every problem.
In this Q and A episode I am joined by Dr. Mindy Goldman, the Director of the Gynecology Center for Cancer Survivors and At-Risk Women at UCSF and the Chief Clinical Officer at Midi Health.
• Options to treat vaginal dryness when taking an aromatase inhibitor
• Options to prevent bone loss if estrogen is not an option
• Using testosterone to help libido with a breast cancer diagnosis
• If it is OK to take hormone therapy with an ER negative breast cancer
• If it is OK to take hormone therapy with a recent or remote diagnosis of an ER positive breast cancer
• Hormone therapy with endometrial (uterine cancer)
• Hormone therapy post lung cancer
• If estrogen will decrease the risk of colon cancer if there is a genetic pre-disposition such as Lynch syndrome
• If someone is at risk of breast cancer, are some forms of hormone therapy better to use than others
• Why you are asked about estrogen use when you have a mammogram
• Is it safe to use hormone therapy with a BRCA mutation
• Should a hysterectomy be performed along with ovary removal with ovary and tube removal
• If radiation from a mammogram increasesthe risk of getting breast cancer?
• If it is safe to use hormone therapy with dense breasts
• And much more…

There is a long history of women not only not knowing nothing about sexual pleasure but being made to feel as if there is something dangerous and wrong with them if they seek it. My guest for this episode is Dr. Laurie Mintz a professor, a therapist, and the author of “Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality Matters- and how to get it”, the groundbreaking book that changed not only how millions of women, and men, think about female sexual pleasure, but how women can OWN sexual pleasure.
Why, HISTORICALLY, women have not been educated about the clitoris and its role in female pleasure and orgasmWhy Dr. Mintz wrote Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality MattersWhy women often feel SHAME about the appearance of their genitaliaWhy women still believe that orgasm will occur during intercourseThe anthropological explanation for why the clitoris is (biologically) is OUTSIDE the vagina What is meant by “ORGASM EQUALITY”The POLITICS of orgasmWhy it is important to have a SEX SCRIPTWhy PORN is problematicMASTURBATION educationWhy a vibrator is a TOOL, not a TOYWhat a VIBRATOR and a RAFT have in commonMEN and VibratorsThe problem with SEX EDUCATION in AmericaWhy MINDFULNESS is so important when it comes to sexual pleasureLABIAL diversityThe purpose of PUBIC HAIR

The Essential Guide to Hysterectomy -
Put a group of menopause experts in a room, and there are certain things everyone will agree on. But there are other topics, that do not result in universal agreement. And, usually, when that happens, it’s the battle of the academic purists vs …everyone else. And in the menopause world right now, there is no more controversial topic than the use of testosterone as part of the standard hormone therapy cocktail.
So today, Dr. Kelly Casperson, the host of the You Are Not Broken podcast, and I will discuss WHY there is controversy and where that leaves us in advising women on what is in their best interest. Put two opinionated podcasters in the same room…well, all I can say is, strap in.

Something happens to skin after your 40th birthday, and that something isn’t good. So is it just a coincidence that wrinkles and sags show up at the same time your periods disappear, or is it just one of those mid-life things? The answer is both. Post menopause skin without estrogen is dryer, thinner, blotchier, hairier, and wrinklier. So, is TOPICAL ESTROGEN the answer? And is it safe?
The specific impact of loss of estrogen on skin Why bone loss impacts the way your face looksWhy you get increased facial hair post menopauseWhen estrogen was in over-the-counter facial creams. Why the FDA stopped allowing the sale of over-the-counter estrogen Studies that demonstrate that topical facial estrogen cream is safe and effectiveHow systemic estrogen benefits skinOptions to get facial estrogen creamHow to use itStrategies to remove facial hairFor more information:

In a world where women are barraged with information when it comes to how best to manage menopause, it can be overwhelming and confusing. Between having their symptoms dismissed by their regular physician, and then being overwhelmed with information on social media, it’s hard to know what’s fact and hype. And what do you do when the doctor you trust, tells you that the social media expert you also trust is wrong?
In this episode, I chat with Tamsen Fadal, a menopause advocate who has made it her mission to help perimenopausal and menopausal women navigate through the information and disinformation to get the correct information when it comes to maximizing their health.
Tamsen’s own experience when she entered menopauseWhy Tamsen switched careers to become a menopause advocateHow do you know an expert is really an expert?The best way to find a menopause expertThe impact of telehealth on finding a menopause expertWhat to do if your own doctor is not a menopause expertWhy women put relatability over expertiseHot to figure out if a social media expert is an expertWhat to do when a social media expert disagrees with your own doctorDo healthcare clinicians need to act professionally in their private lives? What I think when it comes to being strictly evidence-based Tamsen Fadal
