If you don’t feel like yourself lately, it might not be stress, aging, or “all in your head.” Dr. Rachel Rubin tells us what every woman deserves to know about perimenopause, menopause, and the hormones that can affect everything from our sleep and mood to our brains, bodies, relationships, and sex lives.
 
- The surprising signs of perimenopause—and how early they can start
- Why a “normal” hormone test doesn’t mean you’re not in perimenopause
- What doctors were never taught about menopause
- The truth about HRT—and why generations of women were taught to fear hormones
- Estrogen, progesterone & testosterone: what each actually does
- How to advocate for the care you need to feel like yourself again

About Dr. Rubin: 
Dr. Rachel Rubin is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist who is changing the way we talk about menopause, hormones, and sexual health — especially the things women have historically been told to accept, endure, or simply stop talking about. She practices in the Washington, D.C., area as well as Los Angeles and is an Assistant Professor of Urology at Georgetown University. A nationally recognized educator, researcher, and advocate, Dr. Rubin has become a leading voice for greater awareness and access to treatments like vaginal estrogen and testosterone use in menopausal women. She is known for making complicated science understandable — and beloved for telling the truth about women’s health, which medicine has too often failed to say.

Stefanie Fox, Executive Director of Jewish Voice for Peace, joins Glennon, Abby, and Amanda for an urgent, eye-opening conversation about the fight for Palestinian freedom, the powerful forces keeping America complicit, and what each of us can do to make a difference.  Glennon also shares the story behind her recent arrest outside the United Nations and the unexpected hope she's found in taking action.
- Why America continues to fund and arm Israel—and who profits.
- What Zionism and anti-Zionism mean, and how to recognize and fight antisemitism.
- How political pressure, money, and fear are used to silence support for Palestine.
- How to move beyond outrage and despair into meaningful, collective action.
