LBP 191: Hanky Panky & Health: Why skipping sexy time could be risky with Dr. Susan Oakley
A recent study, based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), has found that women who rarely engage in sexual activity have a 70% higher risk of dying compared to those who have sex at least once per week. Additionally, individuals with depression who had sex much less than once per week had a 197% higher risk of dying than those who had sex around once per week. These findings were published in the Journal of Psychosexual Health. Frequent sex has been shown to offer numerous health benefits. It helps reduce stress and improve mood through the release of endorphins and oxytocin. It can also boost the immune system, making the body more resistant to infections and illnesses. Regular sexual activity promotes cardiovascular health by increasing heart rate and circulation. It enhances sleep quality due to the release of the hormone prolactin, which is associated with relaxation. Frequent sex can also improve intimacy and strengthen relationships, contributing to overall emotional well-being. In this episode, Dr. Susan Oakley & Holly want to know do you: Schedule or Sizzle? How often do you get frisky? A) Daily B) A few times a week C) Weekly D) A few times a month E) Rarely/Never Tune in for some fun and fabulous insights. Thank you, ladies, for listening.

LBP Episode:190 Swimming on your period: Gross or Go for It? With Dr. Susan Oakley
Periods can be annoying when they arrive unexpectedly, like when you’re all set for a beach day or a swim. Swimming on your period is one of those things we've all got questions about, right? And there's two big ones. Firstly: can you swim while on your period? And secondly: what should you wear to protect yourself while swimming on your period? • Is it safe to swim on your period? Swimming on your period is completely safe. Just choose a tampon or menstrual product that feels comfortable and fits your lifestyle needs. • Can I get a vaginal infection from swimming on my period? You can develop itchiness, a burning sensation, or a yeast infection from staying in a wet bathing suit for too long. It’s a good idea to change into dry clothes after you swim, and if you experience any of these symptoms, talk to your healthcare provider. • How often should you change it? Change your tampon as soon as you’re done swimming, or every 4 to 8 hours while you are swimming. A wet, used tampon can be a breeding ground for bacteria — which can lead to toxic shock syndrome (TSS). You’ll want to make sure you’re being safe and mindful. Ultimately, it is completely safe and hygienic to swim whilst on your period. Although there are some special considerations to think about before you go swimming - like taking extra tampons, pads, or period undies to change into after swimming - being on your period should not stop you from enjoying summer and taking a dip! Tune in for some fun and fabulous insights. Thank you, ladies, for listening. Always feel free to ask Dr. Oakley any women’s health questions at any time.

Episode 189: Snacking your way to a bite-free summer? Outsmart those bloodsuckers with Dr. Oakley
If you’re a natural mosquito magnet, it makes sense to do what you can to lower the risk of being bitten. The foods you eat may play a role in how attractive you are to mosquitoes. So, what attracts Mosquitoes? Beer, bananas and ketchup as well as the smell of lotions, perfumes, and sweat draws mosquitoes in but supposedly there are certain foods that these pests don’t like. Mosquito-repelling foods: • Garlic, onions, and apple cider vinegar, when consumed, are said to change the way you smell and make you less detectable to mosquitoes. • Tomatoes, beans, and lentils as well as other foods rich in thiamine are said to release a smell that repels mosquitoes and other bugs. • Grapefruit, oranges, and lemons are all citrus fruits that mosquitoes apparently aren’t fond of smelling. Other ways to prevent mosquito bites include: • Wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants • Covering strollers and baby carriers with mosquito netting • Planning outdoor events when mosquito activity is low (they’re most active from dusk to dawn) • Make sure your window screens are not ripped or torn • Keep entry doors and garage doors closed when not in use It goes without saying but we’ll say it, anyway, speak with your doctor about which insect repellent they recommend for you and your family members before making a purchase. Tune in for some fun and fabulous insights. Thank you, ladies, for listening. Always feel free to ask Dr. Oakley any women’s health questions at any time.

Episode 188: Stay Safe During the COVID Summer Wave: Advice from Dr. Susan Oakley

Episode 188: Stay Safe During the COVID Summer Wave: Advice from Dr. Susan Oakley
If more people around you seem to be coming down with Covid lately, that’s because infections are indeed on the rise nationally. Covid infections have historically spiked over the summer, in part because of an increase in travel and people congregating indoors, where it’s cooler. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that COVID test positivity rates and emergency room visits are steadily on the rise. Dr. Susan Oakley & Holly will go over what to do if you get COVID this summer and tips if you’re on any medication/antibiotics and end up getting a UTI or yeast infection during COVID. If you contract COVID, it’s a good idea to first test yourself at home with an antigen test. If your test is negative, you should test yourself again in 24 hours because it can take a few days for the virus to become detectable in your sinuses. If you’re concerned about your symptoms, reach out to your primary care physician or visit an urgent care to get a PCR test ― these are more sensitive and catch a higher percentage of cases. Thank you for listening. Always feel free to ask Dr. Oakley any women’s health questions at any time. Please send in your comments, questions, and suggestions for future topics at [email protected].

Episode 187: The seasonal phenomenon: Summer Penis. Is 'Summer Penis' a real thing? With Bruce & Dr. Oakley
As the temps heat up, some men swear the heat has a flaming effect on their peens, adding inches in length and girth down below. In a man’s world of growers and showers, consider it nature’s way of bringing some summer penis loving your way. While there might be some truth to the idea that penises appear bigger in the heat, there isn’t enough research on the subject for doctors to say whether it’s absolutely, completely true. But your testicles absolutely do hang a little lower when it’s hot, though. If you’re a summer penis skeptic, let’s see what our man Bruuuuuuce has to say about the summer penis in this episode with Dr. Oakley & Holly.

Episode 186: How to Survive Boob Sweat Season with Dr. Susan Oakley
The boob sweat struggle is real!!! Aside from being an uncomfortable side-effect of wearing a sports bra that compresses your bust to your chest, boob sweat carries the added insult of encouraging red rashes, yeast overgrowth and potential skin tags (small, soft, skin-colored growths that hang off the skin and look a bit like warts). Why does the sweat between my breasts smell? What can I do about sweat under my breasts? Dr. Oakley & Holly will go your questions and cover what products or items are good for dealing with under boob sweat?

Episode 184: Can Mucinex Help You Get Pregnant?
05/15/2024
Episode 184: Can Mucinex Help You Get Pregnant?
Question: Dr. Oakley, I heard on TikTok that Mucinex can help you get pregnant. Is that true? Let's start at the beginning: Mucinex is designed to treat cold and flu symptoms, and there's nothing in the packaging or directions that says you should take this to help you get pregnant. Medications like Mucinex, which contain the active ingredient guaifenesin, thin the mucus throughout your body. One theory, though it is unproven, is that it could thin the mucus in the cervix, making it easier for sperm to pass through more easily. If you are taking these medications, be sure to discuss their potential impact on birth control and fertility with your provider. In this episode, Dr. Oakley & Holly will chat about the viral media question, “Does Mucinex increase your chances of getting pregnant?” Thank you for listening.

BEST OF SHOW in 2023 - Episode 164: What Is 'Ghost Poop' and Why Is It Exploding on TikTok?
“A ‘ghost poop’ is a term used to describe when one’s stool sinks to the bottom of the toilet and seemingly vanishes without a trace,” in other words, if you’ve ever gone to the bathroom and then looked into the toilet, only to see your feces disappear, it means that you’ve experienced the elusive “ghost poop” — and the same thing goes if you’ve wiped and there’s nothing on the toilet paper. This type of poop, where you feel like you've passed something, but nothing is visible in the toilet or when wiping, may suggest that you are one of the healthiest individuals out there. It is a sign that your body is receiving adequate amounts of fiber and fatty acids while maintaining proper circadian rhythms aligned with nature. If you don’t find yourself having many — or any — ghost poops, you shouldn’t be alarmed, either. In fact, having ghost poop every day isn’t always ideal, as you are unable to see the changes in your feces if it just disappears all the time. Do you ever look at your poop before you flush? Dr. Oakley & Holly will tell if they do in this episode and you can answer this question on our FB poll on the Lady Bod Pod FB page. Thank you, ladies, for listening.

Episode 171: Chillin' with the Snow Queen: Conquering the Winter Vagina Blues!
Join Dr. Oakley & Holly as we tackle the 'Abominable Snowwoman' phenomenon! Yes, ‘tis the season for our vaginas to hibernate, and they might be feeling the winter blues. From cozying up with a humidifier to offering our vaginas a warm mug of hydration, we're diving into hilarious yet helpful tips to thaw out that chilly dryness. Let's navigate the winter wonderland of vaginal care with laughter and warmth! Yes, changes in weather conditions, particularly cold weather, can affect vaginal moisture for some individuals. It's often related to decreased humidity levels indoors during the winter, which can impact the mucous membranes in the body, including the vagina. This might cause dryness, discomfort, or irritation in some women. Using a humidifier indoors, staying hydrated, wearing breathable clothing, and using lubricants if needed can help manage this. It's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice if someone is experiencing persistent discomfort or dryness. These discussions can be valuable to address any concerns and find the best solutions for individual needs. There are several treatment options for vaginal dryness. Some, such as vaginal moisturizers or lubricants, are available without a prescription. Dr. Oakley will go over those in this episode. Thank you, ladies, for listening.

Episode 168: Soak it up, ladies!! Hot Flash- No Sweat! Strong enough for space soft enough for you.
Hot Flash- No Sweat! Strong enough for space soft enough for you. Ever had a hot flash? If so, you know what this notorious symptom of menopause is like — the rapid-onset creep of heat across your face, neck, and chest, the beads of sweat along your hairline, the urgent need to turn anything you can get your hands on into a fan. Don’t Sweat Menopause with this shirt. Unparalleled cooling technology helps you stay comfortable through hot flashes and night sweats. NASA-approved Outlast® technology adapts to fluctuations in your temperature for an unmatched and innovative approach to maximum comfort. It’s the ultimate in activewear with fabric designed for NASA spacesuits where temperatures change by 500 degrees, by proactively managing your body temperature, our clothing stores that heat to keep you cool, and then releases it as you cool down…keeping you feeling “just right.” What is Active Temperature Regulation? Not too warm, not too cold – just right. That’s the easy way to explain how phase change materials work. During the night your body continues to change temperature. Outlast® materials reduce overheating and sweating, allowing you to sleep more soundly and wake up more rested. Outlast® materials absorb excess body heat when too much is created and release it again to the body when needed. As a welcomed “side effect”, sweating is reduced dramatically while temperature is balanced actively and dynamically. Dr. Oakley & Holly LOVE these menopause shirts and they suck you in too… They’re so comfortable and soooo soft. We love them for the following: • Adaptive Comfort: Our menopause shirt actively absorbs, stores, and releases heat so you stay in your comfort zone. • Proven Menopausal Relief: In a study, 75% of women felt more comfortable and 90% experienced less sweating. • No-Fuss Care: Machine-washable and durable, our menopause shirt is easy to care for and long-lasting.

Episode 167: You Ask Dr. Oakley: Can “sex fasting “really improve your sexual health?

Episode 167: You Ask Dr. Oakley: Can “sex fasting “really improve your sexual health?
A sex fast is just what it sounds like: intentionally abstaining from sex. Unlike celibacy, a sex cleanse is a short break from sexual intimacy. Generally taking place over a predetermined period, the individual tends to return to bedroom business as usual – whatever that looks like for them – once the period is up. The purpose of sexual fasting is to gain greater self-control, self-awareness, and emotional harmony. It can also be used to focus on personal growth, creativity, and productivity, without the distractions and energy drain associated with sexual activity. Another benefit of sexual fasting is that it can deepen emotional connections and intimacy in relationships. By abstaining from sexual activity, couples can focus on other forms of intimacy, such as communication, emotional support, and shared experiences. This can lead to a stronger bond and a deeper understanding of each other’s needs and desires. Sexual fasting can also help to build trust and respect in relationships, as partners learn to respect each other’s boundaries and desires. Thank you, ladies, for listening.
