Why does women's sexual health still get treated as an afterthought, and what would it take to finally change that? Cindy Eckert is the founder and CEO of Sprout Pharmaceuticals and the woman behind Addyi, the first and only FDA-approved treatment for low sexual desire in women. In this episode, she explains hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), the biological condition behind low libido that affects millions of women and is still routinely dismissed as stress, aging, or a relationship problem.

Cindy breaks down why women are told their low libido is emotional while men's sexual health issues are treated as biological, what actually happens in the brain when desire disappears, and the three question checklist she wants every woman to bring to her next doctor's appointment. She also explains why 80% of women who brought up low libido with their doctor were simply told it was normal, and what women's sexual health should actually look like when it's taken seriously.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- What HSDD is and why it's rooted in biology, not emotion

- Why women's sexual health has been dismissed as psychological instead of medical

- How the double standard in FDA drug review affects treatments for women

- Why 80% of women raising low libido with their doctor are told it's normal

- The three questions to ask before accepting "that's just aging"

- How Addyi works and who it's for

- What changed with Addyi's newest approval for postmenopausal women

If you've ever felt like your desire just switched off and been told that's normal, been handed a vague explanation instead of a real answer, or wondered if something is wrong with you instead of your body, this episode will help you understand the biology behind it, so you stop blaming yourself for something that was never your fault.

Addyi (flibanserin) is for women under 65 with acquired, generalized HSDD who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past. It is not for men. Full safety information, including boxed warning on alcohol interaction, is available at addyi.com/pi.

Why do some of us experience rejection, criticism, and disappointment so intensely—and what we can we actually do about it? Dr. Sasha Hamdani is a board-certified psychiatrist, ADHD specialist, and author of Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply. In this episode, she explains rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD)—the intense emotional pain triggered by perceived rejection or criticism that affects the majority of people with ADHD, especially women.

Dr. Hamdani breaks down why dropping estrogen during perimenopause makes emotional sensitivity worse, what's actually happening in your brain when one comment sends you into a spiral, and the three tools she uses herself to stop it. She also explains why women who've been on antidepressants for years with no relief may have been misdiagnosed—and what high-achieving women look like from the outside vs. what's really going on inside.

In this episode, you'll learn:

-What rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) is and why it's so common in ADHD

-How RSD shows up in friendships, relationships, and the workplace

-Why perimenopause can make emotions and ADHD symptoms feel harder to manage

-Why high-achieving women may hide rejection sensitivity behind perfectionism, overpreparing, and people-pleasing

-How to tell the difference between what actually happened and the story your brain created about it

-Tools for helping your brain catch up before you react or start spiraling

-Why some women treated for anxiety and depression for years may actually need to be evaluated for ADHD

-How to start tracking your own patterns before you talk to a professional

If you've ever lost an entire night replaying one conversation, convinced yourself someone is upset with you, or felt a wave of shame hit your body before you could even think it through, this episode will help you understand what’s happening between the feeling and the reaction, so your first emotional response doesn’t get to make the decision for you.
