Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, leaky bladders, weight gain, hair loss, inability to orgasm? Nothing is off limits in these fact filled, solution-driven and often surprisingly funny podcasts that address the specific symptoms women face as they navigate perimenopause and post-menopause. Each segment is like having an in-depth consultation with Dr. Lauren Streicher, a nationally recognized menopause expert and the founding Medical Director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause. Guests will include other experts on all things menopause. So strap in- it’s going to be quite the ride! This is THE podcast for accurate information about menopause but is not meant to be personal medical advice.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
This podcast is a comprehensive and engaging women’s health podcast and I listen in every week often times relistening to my favorites. I truly appreciate the vast array of topics and expert guest speakers she brings on, as well as her evidence-based approach to every discussion.
What really stands out is her ability to highlight not only what we do know, but also where research is lacking and how politics and policy impact women’s health. The FDA roundtable episode was particularly enlightening. I gained a much deeper understanding of how the FDA operates and why Dr. Streicher chose not to participate, while still showing respect and appreciation for those who did.
Her recent episode on reframing obesity was another favorite as it challenged perspectives in such a compassionate and science-driven way. I’ve learned so much about my own body and her thoughtful explanations have even changed how I discuss health topics with others.
It’s clear that Dr. Streicher devotes extensive time and care to researching and outlining each episode. I admire her dedication to empowering listeners through credible, accessible information. We’re so lucky to have free access to such high-quality insight. I highly recommend subscribing to her Substack as well. Thank you, Dr. Streicher, for all that you do!

Highly recommend! I am so grateful for Dr. Streicher and her podcast! It’s difficult to find factual, helpful, unbiased information about perimenopause and menopause. This arms you with information to better understand what’s happening in your body. It’s information that makes women feel empowered to discuss treatment with their doctors, and it helped me to find the right doctor who understands menopause and is interested in helping patients. I have learned so much! Thank you, Dr. Streicher.

Thank you Dr. Streicher. I started hormone therapy because I learned about it from your podcasts . I am 55. My gynecologist never discussed it with me. And what I knew about it was little and incorrect . I feel now so much more normal. It is really life changing.

This podcast offers good information to women. I’ve found it helpful over the past couple of years . I however was not happy with the disparaging example of the obese “250 pound woman who can’t give up her five packs a day” comment in the recent episode on perimenopause with Dr Goldstein. You fell into the typical medical unconscious bias of portraying overweight and obese people as “non compliant,” “lazy” or”bad”- why couldn’t you have just offered some general advice on treating perimenopausal overweight or obese women without the negative connotations along with the descriptions. I’m an overweight woman working hard a weight loss, healt and exercise during perimenopause and I found your comment a bit offensive and hurtful as I thought you were more prone to facts and less prone to unconscious bias- spin. I’m still a fan yet it would be helpful if you offered facts on menopause in overweight people without comments that suggest laziness or other disrespectful comments about their character.
