Dr. Streicher’s Inside Information: THE Menopause Podcast

Lauren Streicher, MD

Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, leaky bladders, weight gain, hair loss, inability to orgasm? Nothing is off limits in these fact filled, solution-driven and often surprisingly funny podcasts that address the specific symptoms women face as they navigate perimenopause and post-menopause. Each segment is like having an in-depth consultation with Dr. Lauren Streicher, a nationally recognized menopause expert and the Medical Director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause. Guests will include other experts on all things menopause.  So strap in- it’s going to be quite the ride! This is THE podcast for accurate information about menopause but is not meant to be personal medical advice.

    S3 Ep154: Invisible Woman Syndrome
    Studies reveal that 70% of women experience a sense of being overlooked socially and professionally once they hit 50. The term for this phenomenon is Invisible Woman Syndrome. In this episode, I am joined by Christine Morrison, who writes about the social constructs in the fashion, beauty and wellness industry that inform the way society views women, and the way women often feel about themselves as they get older. Christine Morrison’s writing has appeared in print and online vehicles such as The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Quality Edit and Margot Magazine, among others, and in advertising campaigns for Alastin Skincare, French Connection, Juicy Couture and more. Prior to focusing on writing full-time, Morrison held leadership positions in the fashion and beauty industries, including serving as Global Vice President of Beauty and Apparel Marketing for Calvin Klein. 

    Her forthcoming book, “Clothes Minded: Fashionable Essays About Finding Yourself,” – in which she reflects on the meaning behind, and the humor in, the relationship between her sartorial self and formation of identity – is slated to publish Spring, 2026.

    This episode will change the way you think about aging

    S3 Ep153: Q And A Marathon

    I give two to three lectures a week. No matter who I am talking to or what the topic is, the part I like the best is the Q and A. It’s always different and I never know what I am going to get.

    S3 Ep152: Moisturizers are Not Just for Your Face
    Most women are very familiar with the concept of a moisturizer since they have been conditioned to constantly apply one to their face and neck to avoid dire consequences like wrinkles and fine lines While the tissue that lines the vagina is not the same as the skin on the rest of your body, when estrogen declines, both the skin on your face and the “skin” that lines the vagina, become dry and thin. Over-the-counter long-lasting vaginal moisturizers are intended to be used regularly in anticipation of sexual activity. Moisturizers hydrate and thicken vaginal tissue to restore natural lubrication. In addition, regular use of vaginal moisturizers may also help with non-sexual symptoms like burning, irritation and dryness. 

    ·      The difference between vaginal lubricants and long-acting moisturizers

    ·      Why products are often labeled as moisturizers when they are lubricants

    ·      The two categories of vaginal moisturizers that have been shown in clinical trials to change tissue 

    o   Polycarbophil (Replens™ Long-lasting Vaginal Moisturizer)

    o   Hyaluronic Acid (Reveree™, Hayalo Gyn™) 

    ·      HOW these products work 

    ·      How well these products work compared to other products

    ·      Why maintaining a healthy vaginal pH is important. 

    ·      How to best use a long-acting vaginal moisturizer.

    ·      Liv-Ring™- a new vaginal ring that states it is both a lubricant and moisturizer.

    S3 Ep151: Don't Be Duped: Misleading Marketing and the FDA
    You grab a product off the shelf—maybe it promises to help with bladder control, take off ten pounds, erase wrinkles, or boost orgasms. You assume it will do what it claims to do because it has the FDA seal on the package. Most consumers have no idea that most over-the-counter products have not been tested to ensure product claims are legitimate.
    • The history of the FDA
    • Why estrogen disappeared from face cream in 1962
    • The different FDA categories and what they mean
      • FDA Approved 
      • FDA Cleared
      • FDA Listed
      • FDA Registered
    •  What it takes to be FDA-approved
    •  Why testosterone was never FDA-approved for women
    •  Loopholes that allow products to get an FDA label
    •  Other misleading labeling that is often used:
      • Doctor recommended
      • Doctor tested
      • Clinically proven
    • The difference between a marketing study and a scientific study 
    • The problem with class labeling

    S3 Ep150: Managing Menopause When Cancer is a Concern with Dr. Mindy Goldman
    Managing menopause in the face of cancer can be complicated. Many women are made to think that they should just be grateful to be alive and not complain about their all day all night hot flashes, brain fog and sex that is excruciatingly painful. Many oncologists are not experts when it comes to menopause or sexual function and don’t bring it up or give information that isn’t accurate. Many women aren’t aware that hormone therapy may be safe, and if it’s not, that there are non-hormonal options to solve virtually every problem. 
    In this Q and A episode I am joined by Dr. Mindy Goldman, the Director of the Gynecology Center for Cancer Survivors and At-Risk Women at UCSF and the Chief Clinical Officer at Midi Health. 
    • Options to treat vaginal dryness when taking an aromatase inhibitor
    • Options to prevent bone loss if estrogen is not an option
    • Using testosterone to help libido with a breast cancer diagnosis
    • If it is OK to take hormone therapy with an ER negative breast cancer
    • If it is OK to take hormone therapy with a recent or remote diagnosis of an ER positive breast cancer
    • Hormone therapy with endometrial (uterine cancer)
    • Hormone therapy post lung cancer
    • If estrogen will decrease the risk of colon cancer if there is a genetic pre-disposition such as Lynch syndrome
    • If someone is at risk of breast cancer, are some forms of hormone therapy better to use than others 
    • Why you are asked about estrogen use when you have a mammogram
    • Is it safe to use hormone therapy with a BRCA mutation
    • Should a hysterectomy be performed along with ovary removal with ovary and tube removal
    • If radiation from a mammogram increasesthe risk of getting breast cancer? 
    • If it is safe to use hormone therapy with dense breasts
    • And much more…

    Dr. Goldman is the Chief Clincial Officer at Midi Health and a Clinical Professor Emeritus in the department of OB/GYN at UCSF, where she is also the Director of the Gynecology Center for Cancer Survivors and At-Risk Women. She has worked with both the American College of Ob/Gyn (ACOG) and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and is a nationally recognized expert in the management of women’s health issues, including menopause, for women with cancer or at high risk.

    S3 Ep149: Orgasm Equality with Dr. Laurie Mintz
    There is a long history of women not only not knowing nothing about sexual pleasure but being made to feel as if there is something dangerous and wrong with them if they seek it. My guest for this episode is Dr. Laurie Mintz a professor, a therapist, and the author of “Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality Matters- and how to get it”, the groundbreaking book that changed not only how millions of women, and men, think about female sexual pleasure, but how women can OWN sexual pleasure.

    • Why Dr. Mintz wrote Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality Matters
    • Why women often feel SHAME about the appearance of their genitalia
    • Why women still believe that orgasm will occur during intercourse
    • The anthropological explanation for why the clitoris is (biologically) is OUTSIDE the vagina 
    • What is meant by “ORGASM EQUALITY”
    • The POLITICS of orgasm
    • Why it is important to have a SEX SCRIPT
    • Why PORN is problematic
    • MASTURBATION education
    • Why a vibrator is a TOOL, not a TOY
    • What a VIBRATOR and a RAFT have in common
    • MEN and Vibrators
    • The problem with SEX EDUCATION in America
    • Why MINDFULNESS is so important when it comes to sexual pleasure

    S3 Ep146: I’m Using Vaginal Estrogen but Sex Still Hurts Like Hell
    It’s a common scenario. A woman is given a prescription for a local vaginal estrogen, or DHEA and uses it faithfully but continues to have painful intercourse. In most cases, the product is working just fine and there is another reason for the pain.  

    In this segment Dr. Streicher discusses:
    • The TOP 5 REASONS women have pain despite using estrogen
    • Why a WRONG DIAGNOSIS might be the problem
    • The importance of treating the VESTIBULE (the opening) of the vagina
    • Why a painful, tight PELVIC FLOOR might be the problem
    • The role of PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY 
    • VAGINAL DILATORS- What they are, how they help, and how to use them.

    S3 Ep145: TESTOSTERONE for ALL? with Kelly Casperson MD
    Put a group of menopause experts in a room, and there are certain things everyone will agree on. But there are other topics, that do not result in universal agreement. And, usually, when that happens, it’s the battle of the academic purists vs …everyone else. And in the menopause world right now, there is  no more controversial topic than the use of testosterone as part of the standard hormone therapy cocktail.  

    So today, Dr. Kelly Casperson, the host of the You Are Not Broken podcast, and I will discuss WHY there is controversy and where that leaves us in advising women on what is in their best interest. Put two opinionated podcasters in the same room…well, all I can say is, strap in.

    S3 Ep144: ESTROGEN for the FACE? THE FACTS!
    Something happens to skin after your 40th birthday, and that something isn’t good. So is it just a coincidence that wrinkles and sags show up at the same time your periods disappear, or is it just one of those mid-life things? The answer is both.  Post menopause skin without estrogen is dryer, thinner, blotchier, hairier, and wrinklier.  So, is TOPICAL ESTROGEN the answer? And is it safe? 

    • The specific impact of loss of estrogen on skin 
    • Why bone loss impacts the way your face looks
    • Why you get increased facial hair post menopause
    • When estrogen was in over-the-counter facial creams. 
    • Why the FDA stopped allowing the sale of over-the-counter estrogen 
    • Studies that demonstrate that topical facial estrogen cream is safe and effective
    • How systemic estrogen benefits skin
    • Options to get facial estrogen cream
    • How to use it
    • Strategies to remove facial hair
