• Ep. 65 Sex Drive, Estrogen, and the Vagina Conversation No One’s Having: The Truth About Female Aging + Hormonal Shifts | Dr. Rhadika Sharma

  I’ve never had a conversation quite like this one. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Radhika Sharma, an incredible OB-GYN, wellness coach, and host of the Double Scrub podcast, who’s become not just a guest but a true friend. We talk about everything women are too embarrassed to ask: perimenopause, hormones, vaginal health, low libido, dryness, aging, and how to feel good again. Nothing is off-limits. You’ll hear anonymous questions from real women, questions I’ve asked myself too. If you’ve ever felt confused, alone, or dismissed this conversation is for you. You’re not broken. There’s help. There’s hope.Resources mentioned in this episode:https://mysevawellness.com/ https://menopause.org/  Here are the key moments from the episode:0:07 Why We’re Talking About This6:47 Meet Dr. Radhika Sharma10:33 “Welcome to Getting Old”14:06 Hair Loss, Anxiety, and Feeling Broken17:17 The Shame Around Periods and Menopause23:05 The Truth About Estrogen and Dementia30:05 The Study That Misled a Generation38:12 Let’s Talk About Vaginas46:23 Yes, Even Breast Cancer Survivors Can Use It53:23 “Why Do I Smell Differently?”59:39 Water-Based Lubes and What to Avoid1:08:07 It’s Not Just About Function, It’s About Truth
