I appreciate the clear, intense level of information shared in these podcasts. As a 60-year old woman, I am energized by the recent deep focus on women’s health and aging. I’ve experienced the ‘shrug off’ in past years and feel validated. If I’d had this information available to my in my 30’s and 40’s some of my challenges and suffering (frozen shoulder, sleep deprivation) would have been better managed!

One of my go-to podcasts! Research based women's health information delivered with compassion.

I’ve read all the books. Listened to almost all the podcast episodes. Reached out to Midi and started on MHT. And! got my butt into the gym at 58 years old. Thank you for making the last year one of my best ever for work performance (I’m an RN for 25 years) sleep, eating more protein and I feel like I can take on the world.
I do have an idea for an episode or at least conversation. I live in Bend Oregon. I have struggled mightily getting access to MHT meds. I have tried everything, looking for estradiol gel, cream, patches and rings. I’ve tried all the brand names and generic. I’ve tried every pharmacy in town. Bend doesn’t have a compounding pharmacy. I’ve tried Amazon, Express Scripts and CostPlus. Every time my prescription needs refilled, this process takes hours and reaching out to my Midi provider several times to move my prescription. I haven’t even tried to get testosterone.
But what really sucks is to get medication I am paying more for meds than anyone else I know in other states. I have good insurance but pay like $150/ month for patches, $100/ month for gel. Even Midi asks $45/month for gel.
All of this is to say the estradiol shortage is still very real. And affects different states more severely. Worse yet, costs are skyrocketing and it feels pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers are looking for making a profit at the cost of women needing menopausal care.
Just my two cents worth.
Siggi’s Mom · Sep 2026
I love this podcast in general. It’s all about women my age, so how could I not? It’s consistently relevant, informative, and engaging.
But the episode with Dr. Vonda Wright was genuinely life-changing. It was as though they had been listening in on conversations I’ve had with my friends and my doctor. They covered everything from how bone density actually works and our desperate desire to remain skinny, to the second-class status of women’s health and even how our parents’ generation shaped what women were taught to believe about themselves.
I’ll be listening to this particular episode many times. There’s a lot to learn.

Whenever MC interrupts her expert guest to say “FOR THE LISTENER, can you explain what that is?” Meaning, SHE knows, but can you explain it to my ignorant listener? It comes across as condescending to me and it occurs several times throughout an episode. During the part 1 episode with Stacy Sims, she even said “I know what proprioception is, but for the listener….” I appreciate the content, just wish she’d be less condescending to her listeners.
Abby Sanderson · Jul 2026
Good content but have to listen to too many ads and not enough information from the guest who get constantly interrupted by the host…
