PerryMenopause: OMG episodes

  • Episode 004: OMG, That's happened to me!
    We decided to change it up a bit and switch gears for Episode 4!  We are turning to our girlfriends to share their perimenopause moments with us and our listeners!  From sweaty legs, to diamond uterine jewelry, to adult acne, we chat about some of our experiences and guess what we found out:  WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT!!  Get ready to hear a bunch of "OMG, That’s happened to me!" moments and stories from Christen, Carla, Regina and Elizabeth.  This episode was not only a blast to make, but it helped us figure out the next set of topics and experts to invite on the show.  We know we don't have all the answers (that's why we're leaning on experts) but we also know that we don't have every single symptom or concern about perimenopause!  We rely on our friends and listeners to suggest topics, so please don't be shocked if we invite you on to talk about your OMG moments and don't hesitate to contact us about a topic you'd like to learn more about!  We're a quick email away at [email protected].
    We'll do the work finding the experts but we need your input to help navigate this most important, ongoing conversation!
    This episode is brought to you by white wine and vodka.

    • Episode 002: Dr. Jewel Kling explains (peri) menopause

      Is there a blood test to take to know if I'm in perimenopause?  Is sweating through your clothes at night normal?  What the heck are pellets?  Can I go off my birth control?  Customized bio-identical hormone therapy sounds so sexy--should I look for a center that offers this?  

      Christen and Carla have TONS of questions and invite their very first guest onto the podcast to help answer those questions.  Join us this week as Dr. Juliana (Jewel) Kling answers some of our questions!  Dr. Kling is an Associate Professor of Medicine, Chair of Women's Health Internal Medicine and Associate Chair of Equity, Inclusion and Diversity in the Department of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona.

    • Episode 001: The who and the why
      With a little bit of nerves and a TON of excitement, Carla and Christen jump in to their very first episode of Perrymenopause: OMG.  They introduce themselves, get some definitions out of the way, and share their first (of many) female OMG moments.  They are so excited to share their experiences with you and to create a space to gather, share stories, bust some myths, squash the stigma and laugh (or cry or rage or pee your pants a little). Whatever it is, Carla and Christen want you to know, they see you (not really because this is a podcast, but you know what they mean) and we're in this together!
