    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

    Painful Periods Are Not Normal. Painful periods could be a sign of PCOS. The lack of conversations about women’s health issues is a significant concern. This podcast helps educate women on important health topics, empowering them to become their own health advocates. SHE MD gives women the knowledge they need to have informed discussions with their doctors.Would You And Your Spouse Agree To Have One Fling A Year Before Marriage? No! Of course, you wouldn’t. But live and learn. Aurora did just that and regrets that decision. Her story about her husband’s flings will make your head spin. Open Marriage And Swingers—Do Those Marriages Stand The Test Of Time? It might seem exciting, but if you're hoping for a lasting marriage, consider whether you know of any swinging relationships that have endured.Men And Women View Sex Differently. For a man, a fling might just be casual, while his wife may see it as a deep betrayal, knowing that for her, an affair would likely involve emotional attachment. This reflects the idea that men and women approach relationships from different perspectives; as the saying goes, "Men are from Mars, women are from Venus."Does a Woman Disconnect from Her Husband After Childbirth? Many significant changes occur after having a child. Physically, a woman’s body is different. Her focus often shifts as well, with her attention now centered on caring for her baby, which can impact her relationship with her husband. It can take time to resume intimacy, especially if she’s breastfeeding, as this adjustment period requires patience.Does Being Sober Curious Resonate With You? Are you curious about living a sober lifestyle? The "sober curious" movement is real and encourages people to rethink their relationship with alcohol. It’s about questioning why you drink and whether it’s enhancing or complicating your life. Are you drinking because of a social event, the time of day or another reason? Does this resonate with you?

  • What if you could slow down skin aging at the molecular level? This week, we’re joined by Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of OneSkin, a company at the forefront of longevity science. Carolina shares the groundbreaking innovations behind OS-01, a peptide designed to target senescent cells (zombie cells), which accelerate skin aging. By reducing these cells, OS-01 works to rejuvenate skin from the inside out, promoting a healthier, more youthful appearance. OS-01 switches off the damaged cells that contribute to lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. We dive into the science behind skin aging, the future of skincare, and how a holistic approach can support long-term skin health. If you're curious about cutting-edge skincare backed by science, this episode is for you!

Look for those that contain peptides like OS1, which are designed to reduce zombie cells and stimulate collagen production without causing irritation.Balance Exfoliation: Limit exfoliation to a few times a week to avoid compromising your skin barrier. Over-exfoliating can lead to increased sensitivity and potential skin issues.Incorporate a Holistic Approach: Maintain a healthy diet and consider supplements like omega-3s to support skin health. Ensure your skincare routine complements your overall health and wellness practices.Research and Validate: Before purchasing skincare products, investigate the brand's research and clinical studies.

  • Welcome to the SHE MD podcast! Today hosts Dr. Thais Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney dive into a groundbreaking topic with Dr. Peyman Tashkandi and Anabel González: the transformative potential of ketamine therapy for mental health. From treatment-resistant depression and severe anxiety to postpartum depression, this episode explores how ketamine is reshaping the landscape of mental health treatment.

    Dr. Tashkandi breaks down the science behind ketamine’s unique mechanism, which boosts neuroplasticity, reduces inflammation, and balances neurotransmitters to offer life-changing relief for those who haven’t found success with traditional treatments. Anabel shares her deeply personal story of overcoming postpartum depression and lifelong mental health struggles through a structured ketamine infusion program paired with therapy.

    You’ll also hear about the importance of integration therapy, how to identify who is—and isn’t—a good candidate for ketamine, and the need to advocate for innovative mental health solutions. Whether you’re a medical professional, a patient seeking new options, or simply curious about cutting-edge treatments, this episode is packed with insights to transform how we approach mental health. Let’s get started!

    DR. PEYMAN TASHKANDI & ANABEL GONZALEZ TAKEAWAYS:

    Explore Ketamine as a Transformative Option: Ketamine therapy offers rapid relief for individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, and postpartum depression. Its unique mechanism of action—boosting neuroplasticity, reducing inflammation, and balancing neurotransmitters like glutamate—makes it life-changing for patients where traditional medications have failed.Understand the Science Behind Ketamine's Impact: Ketamine works differently from standard antidepressants by targeting NMDA receptors, increasing glutamate activity and enhancing neuroplasticity. This helps patients break free from patterns of chronic depression or anxiety, offering not just temporary relief but lasting mental health improvements with proper infusion protocols.Recognize the Spectrum of Mental Health Needs: Ketamine therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is most effective for those with clinical depression, severe anxiety, or debilitating conditions like postpartum depression. Understanding the distinction between everyday stress and clinical symptoms is essential for determining who can benefit from this cutting-edge treatment.Pair treatment with integration therapy for maximum impact: Therapy within 72 hours of ketamine infusions enhances the benefits by helping process and integrate experiences. While infusions alone can be effective, combining them with tools like EMDR can lead to profound and lasting emotional breakthroughs. Advocate for awareness and education: Despite its potential, ketamine therapy remains underutilized due to slow guideline changes and resistance from some mental health professionals. Push for greater understanding and open discussions with providers about innovative treatments, especially when conventional methods aren’t meeting your needs.

Affecting 20% of women, with 75% unaware they have it, PCOS highlights the critical need for awareness and early diagnosis to address its significant impact on fertility.Set Clear Boundaries And Pace Yourself In Dating. Following dating rules like limiting drinks, keeping first dates shorter, and waiting to share too much or become intimate fosters self-respect and allows meaningful connections to grow.Confidence Transforms Your Approach To Relationships. Building a strong sense of self through a fulfilling career, self-care, and recognizing your worth helps you attract and choose partners who align with your values and deserve your love.

    Dr. CARA NATTERSON TAKEAWAYS:

    Puberty Is A Complex Period Of Physical And Hormonal Changes, including growth spurts and the development of secondary sexual characteristics. These changes can significantly impact a child's mood and behavior. Importantly, puberty often begins earlier than many people realize.Early Exposure To Pornography Can Have Significant Negative Impacts: Pornography exposure can distort adolescent perceptions of sex, leading to unrealistic expectations and potentially harmful behaviors.Gender Identity Is A Complex And Fluid Concept. It's crucial to understand that gender identity is distinct from sexual orientation. Many young people may explore different gender expressions during adolescence, and this exploration should be met with support and understanding from parents and caregivers.Responsible Screen Time Management Is Essential For Healthy Development: Screen time can impact a child's well-being. Parents should guide children towards healthy screen time habits by setting limits, encouraging communication, and emphasizing balance.Open Communication And Support Are Vital For Navigating Adolescence: Adolescence is a period of significant change. Open and honest communication between parents and children is crucial for building trust and support. Parents should create a safe and supportive environment where children feel comfortable discussing their concerns.
