Sex on Call
This podcast is a space where we (Maddie and Larisa, who are both friends and nurse practitioners in women's health) unpack evidence-based research, talk to professionals, and share the occasional personal story as we seek to explore how women can improve their sex lives, better understand their bodies, and learn together. Welcome to Sex on Call!

Menopause: Your (Hormone) World Upside Down
Today's episode covers Maddie's absolutely favorite topic in women's health: Menopause. As women, we spend SO MUCH of our life in menopause. It's our goal to help women not look at menopause as something they have to "suffer through."
Maddie will help break down the hormonal and physiologic changes that occur both before and during menopause. She helps to explain why certain individuals' symptoms may be more severe than others as well.
We also review different evidence-based treatment options (both that require medication and that don't) and we cover how our sex life is still a critical component to our overall health and helping solve this solution in menopause is closely related to our plummeting hormones.
We can't wait for you to listen to one of our favorite topics as we begin with our first episode of 2025! Cheers!
