    The Ultimate Guide to Women’s Sexual Health, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) & Menopause

    This episode is a MUST listen. Mel calls it one of the most important conversations she has ever had on The Mel Robbins Podcast. 

    Most women don’t know this, and this information could save the life of a woman you love. 

    If you are thinking you’re “fine,” while quietly suffering through symptoms that are treatable, you probably don’t know this life-saving medical fact either. 

    Today, Mel is joined by Dr. Rachel Rubin, MD, a leading urologist and sexual health expert, to talk about hormones, menopause, libido, pelvic health, UTIs, and what’s happening in your body. 

    In fact, since recording this episode, the majority of women on the team have spoken to their doctors about what Dr. Rubin shared. 

    You’re about to hear what she wishes every woman knew sooner: Almost every issue that you're dealing with “down there” is likely related to changing hormones. 

    If you’ve ever dealt with a UTI, leaking, urgency, dryness, painful sex, or that feeling that something is “off” down there, and you’ve been told it’s normal, it’s aging, or it’s just something you have to live with, this episode could change your life and have you asking, Why have I not heard this before? 

    Do not learn this too late. 

    By the time most women get the right information, they have already lost years to pain, discomfort, anxiety, and unnecessary treatments. 

    No matter how old you are, all women need to understand this information.

    In this episode, you’ll learn: 

    -Why recurring UTIs, urgency, frequency, and leakage are often hormonal, not “just sex” or “just aging”, and they can be fixed 

    -What GSM (genitourinary syndrome) is, and how it impacts women in perimenopause, menopause, during breastfeeding, and even while using birth control  

    -The safe, evidence-backed treatment that can prevent UTIs by more than half, and why almost no one tells women about it  

    -Why many women need testosterone as a natural way to increase libido, mood, energy, orgasm, and the feeling of “I’m back” 

    -That 1 in 4 women have a treatable condition that prevents orgasm, and why doctors don’t know how to check it, diagnose it, or treat it  

    This is the conversation that will make you understand your body differently, and realize you have been tolerating things you do not have to tolerate. 

    If you’re a woman in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, this is information you deserve to have now. 

    Your health should not be a mystery.

    You should not have to suffer. 

    This conversation will give you the truth about your health and may even save your life or the lives of a woman you love. 

    For every single study and resource Dr. Rubin mentions, click here for the episode show notes. This episode is one, in particular, where the show-notes are a must-read.

    This One Episode Will Change How You Think About the World & Your Life (From #1 Cancer Surgeon)

    Today’s episode will change how you think about your entire life.

    Because today you’re meeting a top cancer surgeon who’s going to help you think about one of life’s big questions - the kind you don’t usually ask yourself because you’re just too busy:

    What really matters in life?

    Maybe you’ve been feeling off. Like you’re doing a lot… but you’re not sure it’s the right stuff. 

    Maybe you’re craving clarity… what to focus on and what to stop wasting your time on.

    Well that’s the kind of guidance you’re getting today.

    In this powerful conversation Mel is sitting down with Dr. Rahul Jandial, MD, PhD - a world-renowned cancer neurosurgeon and neuroscientist - who has treated and operated on more than 15,000 stage 4 cancer patients at the end of their lives.

    So in this conversation, you’ll hear what becomes clear when time is running out:

    - What people wish they’d done sooner
    - What they wish they’d stopped caring about
    - What matters - and what never mattered at all
    - And the number one regret he hears from his patients again and again

    You’ll also learn why so many of us wait until it’s almost too late to start living the life we want… and how to change that - starting today.

    Dr. Jandial is the Medical Director of Neurosurgical Oncology and Skull Base Surgery at City of Hope in Los Angeles, one of the leading cancer centers in the world. He operates on brain cancers and spinal tumors in both adults and children, and directs a research lab focused on developing cutting-edge neuroscience and cancer treatments.

    Dr. Jandial has also lived through unbelievable twists and turns - from college dropout, to security guard, to becoming one of the most respected surgeons in the world - and today he shares what reinventing his life taught him about going after more and trusting yourself.

    In this episode, he will teach you how to find your footing again and build the kind of strength that will get you through any setback.

    What Dr. Jandial reveals in this episode is something he’s never shared on any podcast.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    - A simple daily practice that helps you remain steady, no matter what’s happening
    - How to handle bad news without spiraling or panicking
    - What to do first when you’re overwhelmed and don’t know what to focus on
    - How to bet on yourself even when other people don’t understand it
    - How to stop waiting for “someday” and start showing up more fully right now

    This conversation will shift your mindset so you stop waiting for ‘someday’ and start showing up more fully right now.

    Because once you hear it, you’ll see your life and the world differently.

    Here’s the good news: today, you’re going to get your life back on track – and it’s easier than you think.

    Mel calls it Life Admin Day, and once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    -Why you constantly feel behind, even when you’re working hard

    -The hidden reason small tasks pile up and drain your energy

    -How one simple framework can help you get your time back

    -Why handling life admin during the week gives you your weekends back

    -How to organize your tasks so you stop feeling scattered and actually get things done

    -The exact way to structure your Life Admin Day so it actually works (this 5-part framework is based in cognitive research)

    -Why this one change can help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control

    After listening to this episode, you’ll have a practical plan you can try immediately. Stop playing catch-up and start feeling on top of your life again.

    The Most Eye-Opening Conversation on Marriage & Love You Will Ever Hear (From #1 Divorce Lawyer)

    Mel calls today’s episode one of the most moving, meaningful, and transformational conversations ever to happen on the podcast. 

    She says it is THE most important relationship advice that she has ever heard and you will ever hear. 

    Today’s guest, James Sexton, is a world-renowned authority on relationships, but coming from a perspective you may not expect. 

    He’s the author of the bestselling book How to Stay in Love. But he’s also one of the top divorce attorneys in the world, which means for decades he's had a front-row seat to what makes marriages thrive – and the reason why marriages fall apart. 

    He’s going to tell you most breakups don’t happen because of something catastrophic. They result from all the little mistakes over time that everyone misses. 

    Today, he’ll teach you what those mistakes are and convince you that a few small changes are the secret to creating a lasting and loving relationship. 

    And unlike most relationship advice you’ll hear, his advice isn’t theoretical. It’s built on what he’s seen thousands of couples do when it’s working… and when it’s not. 

    You’ll learn:

    -How you can save (or strengthen) any marriage in 10 minutes a week

    -The #1 thing that leads to infidelity (it’s not what you think) and how to avoid it

    -How to tell if your marriage is over

    -The reason relationships and marriages fail

    -How to argue in a productive way

    -How to tell if you’re in the wrong relationship

    -The habits of all successful relationships

    If you’re single, this is what sets the foundation for a healthy relationship.

    If you’re in a relationship, this is what allows it to deepen, strengthen, and evolve with you.

    If you’re suffering from a breakup or a divorce, this will not only make you believe in love again, but it will also give you the road map to create it. 

    This is one of the most important conversations that has been had on this podcast to date. Mel cannot wait for you and everybody that you love or have loved to experience it.
