Ep 30 | Topical Viagra & Hot Flash Chaos: The Menopause Conference Recap You Didn't Ask For

Perimenopause: the magical season where sleep disappears, hormones riot, and suddenly everyone thinks you're "doing great" when actually you're googling whether rage counts as cardio.

In this episode of OvaryActive, Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch return with their second annual Menopause Society Conference recap. If you're wondering whether testosterone drops off a cliff in midlife or whether scream cream is a placebo disguised as foreplay… good news! They've got updates.

This episode walks through the latest research from menopause experts covering the big three: sexual health, longevity, and cardiovascular disease. You'll also hear about the rising fame of the podcast (including elevator selfies), the promise (and limits) of topical Viagra, and why measuring testosterone might be as useful as measuring vibes.

Listeners will get practical takeaways on hormone therapy timing, bone screening, nutrition,

Remember: you're not dramatic. You're not broken. You're just in perimenopause… and it's really happening.
