EPISODE 3 TITLE : 

DR. RACHEL RUBIN, MD: Menopause Minded! How to be Knowledgeable and Advocate for Your Health 

This week, my guest is none other than our nation's Chief Cliterologist! 

Dr. Rachel Rubin, MD is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist. 

As a leading expert in Urology and Sexual Medicine, Dr. Rubin is also known as one of only a handful of physicians with fellowship training in sexual medicine for all genders. 

Based in Washington DC, she is a clinician, researcher, passionate educator, activist, and an incredible resource.

In this episode, we talk about menopause, perimenopause, and how we know when we are in them! We talk about the symptoms of Genito-Unrinary Syndrome of Menopause and what we can do about them. The good news is there are things we can do, actions we can take, and people out there that can help.

She explains pelvic floor rehab, and the benefits of vaginal estrogen, and shares that women can take Viagra too! 

Dr. Rubin tells us how understanding our own healthcare is the best advocacy and the best thing we can do for our health. 

However, as Dr. Rubin notes, there is a lack of information out there on women’s health, and our doctors, as well-trained as they may be, may not have training when it comes to managing or even recognizing menopause and perimenopause. Even Oprah’s doctors overlooked her menopause symptoms! She even shares that doctors were told to avoid the clitoris so as not to make the patient uncomfortable. 

Women’s health is decades behind men’s health, as women were not included in medical research formally until 1986, but thanks to doctors like Dr. Rubin, that is changing, and we can be part of that shift toward greater knowledge about women’s health too. ! 

We also talk about finding a provider and how you can be a part of her group menopause meetings held online.
