Endometriosis is often framed as a “women’s disease,” but the reality is more complex. In recognition of Endometriosis Awareness Month, this episode of Menopause Unscripted explores an area of care that is rarely discussed: endometriosis in transgender men and gender-diverse individuals.

Research on endometriosis in trans populations remains limited, yet many individuals assigned female at birth continue to experience pelvic pain, endometrial changes, or persistent symptoms even while using testosterone or pursuing gender-affirming care. These gaps in research and clinical understanding can leave patients navigating pain without adequate support or recognition.

In this conversation, we examine what current research reveals about endometriosis in transgender men, why this condition is frequently overlooked in gender-diverse care, and how medical systems can better support patients experiencing chronic pelvic pain. We also share educational resources and organizations working to expand access to inclusive care and information.

Below are several studies, educational resources, and organizations referenced in this episode for anyone looking to learn more or find support:

Skin changes are one of the most visible — and often frustrating — parts of hormonal shifts in midlife. In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, Dr. Heidi sits down with skincare formulator and beauty entrepreneur May Lindstrom to talk about what really happens to skin during perimenopause and menopause, and how women can care for it without falling into the trap of hype-driven beauty trends.

Known for her cult-followed botanical skincare line and products like the iconic Blue Cocoon balm, May built her brand around deeply sourced ingredients, intentional rituals, and a philosophy that skincare should nourish both the skin and the nervous system.
