Ep 2 Peri-What-Now?
OvaryActive
We would have called this episode “What Fresh Hell is This?” but the title was already taken. But this title also works, because when we mention perimenopause to people, we often get that confused German Shepherd head tilt and “periwhatnow?” Given that this podcast is focused around perimenopause, we wanted to make sure listeners were clear on what perimenopause actually is. So what is it? If your periods are changing, if your moods are wonky, if every day something new happens, leaving you wondering “what fresh hell is this?” then it’s perimenopause. Truth is, there’s no blood...

Why are women’s bodies and their health so poorly understood and so often ignored, especially after their best baby-making years? Great question. The good news is, information and truth are out there. The bad news is, so is a lot of nonsense, myth, and fear-mongering. The best news is, OvaryActive exists to get you answers about your body and what it’s up to. Drs. Amy Voedisch and Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su know a lot about women’s bodies. Both doctors are practicing ob/gyns with years of experience and knowledge. Both are champions of and advocates for women and their health,...

Two gynecologists walk into a recording studio. Sounds like the start of a joke, and frankly, perimenopause can feel like the start of a joke too. Only this joke is on you. And it’s not that funny.

And the doctors are frankly pretty tired of how those body bits — and the people they belong to — get ignored by medical science when they are no longer ideal baby-makers.

Dr Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch have been caring for the reproductive health of those born with uteruses for a while now. And the doctors are frankly pretty tired of how those body bits — and the people they belong to — get ignored by medical science when they are no longer ideal baby-makers.
Half of a woman’s life comes after her Build a Baby shop shuts down; however, the medical community does little to educate her about or treat her for issues related to her peri- and post-menopausal body.
In this smart, funny, incredibly informed, wonderfully irreverent podcast, Doctors Rebecca and Amy give us the down low on our… down lows. What is perimenopause? What can I expect? How can I feel better? And for crying out loud, WHEN IS IT OVER?
Tune in on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month to get the real information without the hype, the sales, the myths, superstitions, and nonsense. Are your ovaries starting to overreact? Grab a partner, a buddy, a random woman who looks on the verge of tears, and listen up. You’re not in this alone.
And as the docs say, “You’re not crazy. This is actually happening.”
