In this week’s episode, we sit down with Dr. Sameena Rahman, MD, a board-certified OB/GYN and menopause & sexual medicine expert, and podcast host of "Gyno Girl".
After pivoting from academic medicine at USC to a private practice where she could treat patients on her own terms, she now solves the isolating problem of women "not feeling like themselves" due to hormonal chaos. We explore the deeper "why" behind midlife—reclaiming agency by refusing to normalize discomfort, addressing the mental toll of the "perfect storm" of life stress, and understanding how to stop your hormones from stealing your essence.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
➡️ The Truth About Perimenopausal Rage: Why your "short fuse" is actually a cellular reaction to estrogen receptors from head to toe.
➡️ HSDD 101: A guide to Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder and the "Biohacking" tools—like testosterone and neurochemistry shifts—used to revive your libido.
➡️ The "Karen" Myth-Busting: Why many midlife outbursts labeled as "Karen" behavior are actually untreated hormonal dysregulation.
➡️ The Rage Ritual: Why we need to ditch "aging gracefully" for cathartic releases like primal screaming and "letting it rip" to maintain sanity.
