Marriage and Menopause Podcast Episode 28: I Thought Menopause Made My Wife Stop Wanting Me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens to a marriage when menopause changes a woman’s sex drive, her body’s response to touch, and even whether she wants to be kissed, but her husband has no idea why? For more than 2 years, David sent Judy essentially the same email every Wednesday or Thursday: "The weekend is coming. Here’s what I thought we could do." Why? Because asking his own wife if she wanted him had become miserable. In this raw episode of Marriage and Menopause, we tell the story of what happened to our sex life
Marriage and Menopause Podcast Episode 27: Perimenopause Sleep Issues (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sleep and menopause is the thing nobody warned us about. For two years Judy woke up at three in the morning. Not most nights. Every single night. And falling asleep got hard first, an hour or more of lying there waiting, before the 3am waking ever started. Ask any woman in perimenopause what time she wakes up and she'll tell you three. It's the same hour for all of us and nobody has ever explained why. You'll notice Bella in Judy's lap for this entire episode. Her brother Red hurt his foot and h
Marriage and Menopause Podcast Episode 26: Brain Fog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Menopause brain fog took the one thing Judy never worried about losing. She taught for twenty two years and did math in her head faster than her students could do it on paper. Then she started standing in doorways trying to remember the sentence she walked down the hall to say. In this episode we talk about what brain fog actually is, and it isn't forgetting. The information is still in there. You just can't get to it. Judy walks through the files she worked and lost, the clients she'd already t
Marriage and Menopause Podcast Episode 25: Joint Pain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Menopause joint pain took eight years of my life before a single doctor said the word hormones. I was forty four when my shoulder locked up so bad I couldn't lift my arm to put on my own bra. David had to dress me. The orthopedist called it frozen shoulder and said it was probably my diabetes, and then everyone stopped looking. Nobody checked my estrogen. Not once. Then the PAIN spread. Both shoulders. Pain in my hands, my knees, my hips, my neck, my feet. A herniated disc. Trigger finger so bad
Marriage and Menopause Podcast: Episode 24: Low Testosterone in Men (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No morning wood. That's what Judy noticed first, weeks before David ever said a word. In this episode, Judy tells David's story: the signs of low testosterone in men that showed up quietly inside their marriage while she was starting her own HRT. Loss of morning erections, erectile dysfunction, and low libido together are what doctors call the sexual triad, the clearest signal something is wrong with testosterone. David had all three and didn't put it together. His bloodwork came back low. Genui
