Sleep, Mood, & Memory: How Menopause is Affecting your Brain Health
Welcome back to another enlightening episode of The Stay Podcast! Today we are joined special guest and Woman On The Glow : Dr. Pauline Maki, a renowned professor and researcher from the University of Illinois. She is an expert in obstetrics, gynecology, psychology, psychiatry, and women's health. Dr. Maki runs a cutting-edge research lab and center focusing on menopause and its myriad effects on women's brains and bodies.
Dr. Maki is joining us to share her incredible insights on the challenges and transformations women face during menopause, from the perplexing "brain fog" to the critical connections between hot flashes, sleep problems, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's risk. We'll discuss groundbreaking NIH-funded studies, innovative therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and the crucial role of hormone therapy.
We'll also delve into the personal motivations driving Dr. Mackey's research, including her feminist perspective, and how she balances her professional life with her own wellness practices. And stay tuned for a fascinating conversation on the influence of alcohol, stress, ADHD and depression during menopause, and why managing these factors is vital for maintaining a vibrant, "juicy" life.
Grab a comfy seat, maybe a warm cup of tea, and let's dive into this vital conversation on women's brain health and menopause with the incredible Dr. Pauline Maki.

5 Libido Stealers: Overcoming Low Sex Drive During Menopause
Welcome to another enlightening episode of The Stay Juicy! Podcast! Today, we’re diving deep into the topic of low libido—a subject often wrapped in hushed tones and uncomfortable giggles. We'll be tackling what I call "libido stealers," common culprits that can rob many women, especially those in menopause, of their sexual desire.
In this episode, I'll share my personal experiences along with real-life stories from women and patients who've navigated these very waters. From the stress that bogs us down, to the physical discomforts like vaginal dryness, we're leaving no stone unturned. We'll discuss medical solutions, from vaginal rejuvenation treatments to FDA-approved medications, and share practical tips for reclaiming your sexual health.
Plus, we'll shed light on hormone therapy, address misconceptions about female sexual anatomy, and explore the powerful connection between mental relaxation and libido. It's time to normalize these conversations, challenge societal narratives, and empower ourselves with knowledge and action.
Tune in, because your sexual well-being deserves attention, understanding, and—most importantly—celebration. Let's Stay Juicy!
