REWIND // YOUR ESTROGEN TANKED AND NOBODY TOLD YOU WHY POSTPARTUM & PERIMENOPAUSE DR. RACHEL RUBIN

, , , , ,

With everything we’ve covered lately on perimenopause and sexual wellness, this earlier Rubin conversation is worth resurfacing. She breaks down vaginal estrogen, sexual health, and collaborative care across postpartum and perimenopause. Frank, evidence-based, and still under-heard.

Today I speak with Dr. Rachel Rubin,  a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist. Dr. Rubin is passionate about providing comprehensive care to her patients. She views the role of a physician as more than someone who offers diagnoses and prescribes treatments—she sees her role as a coordinator of care for her patients to help them achieve their sexual health goals and improve their quality of life. She also is passionate about educating her patients, hoping to empower them to take control of their own health and advocate for better care.

Rachel and I talk about so many important topics that are so often overlooked. You do not want to miss this conversation!

We  talk about:

-collaborative care

-hormone health 

-how to advocate for yourself and knowing what you need

 -using topical and oral hormones 

-urinary health and hormones

-debunking HRT myths

-shedding light on menopause

-prioritizing mom health
