  • Decoding Sexual Health with Dr. Rachel Rubin
    2026/10/06

    Sex is supposed to be fun and feel good. So why are pain, low desire and changes in arousal so often treated as something women should simply live with?

    Dr. Poynor is joined by urologist and sexual medicine specialist Dr. Rachel Rubin for a candid, joyful conversation about women’s sexual health. They unpack what’s behind common sexual concerns, available treatments, and why these issues deserve the same curiosity and care as any other part of our health. Along the way, Dr. Rubin makes the case for talking about sex more openly – and for expecting more from the care we receive.

  • Decoding Cardiovascular Health with Dr. Anu Lala
    2026/09/22
    Heart disease is the number one killer of women, but unlike many other major diseases, there’s no single screening test that can tell you if you’re at risk. So how do you know where you stand? Dr. Poynor is joined by cardiologist Dr. Anuradha (Anu) Lala-Trindade (Lala), the program director for the Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Fellowship at Mount Sinai and a professor of cardiology, population health, and obstetrics and gynecology. Together, they unpack the many factors that can shape a woman’s cardiovascular risk and break down why midlife is an especially important time to start paying attention to them. Resources mentioned during this episode: Dr. Anu Lala’s 14-part framework for an initial cardiology assessment: 1. Family history 2. Gynecologic history — pregnancy journey, fertility journey, and gynecologic surgeries, including fibroid surgeries 3. Laboratory results — genetic risk markers plus microalbuminuria (protein in the urine, as an early marker of cardiovascular-relevant kidney health) 4. History of high blood pressure — personal history, in-office reading, and family history 5. Cholesterol panel 6. Insulin resistance and inflammation biomarkers 7. History of autoimmune disease or inflammatory conditions 8. An EKG to check for any abnormalities 9. Weight and weight redistribution 10. Sleep 11. Movement (her preferred term over "exercise") 12. Diet — specifically processed food intake, alcohol, and food timing 13. Tobacco use and cessation 14. Mindfulness and well-being, or mind-body medicine Here are the numbers Dr. Lala wants women to know. 1. Blood pressure 2. Cholesterol panel 3. Lp(a) — a genetic marker of atherosclerosis, checked at least once 4. Hemoglobin A1c — a marker of insulin resistance, metabolic risk, or diabetes 5. Microalbuminuria For some women, she also recommends: 1. ApoB — not for everyone; informative specifically when LDL is elevated 2. Coronary artery calcium score — not for everyone; useful for those at intermediate-to-high risk, with high LDL, or with a relevant family history About Dr. Lala: https://profiles.mountsinai.org/anuradha-lala-trindade#about CDC overview of women and heart disease: https://www.cdc.gov/heart-disease/about/women-and-heart-disease.html National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute resources for women and heart disease: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/coronary-heart-disease/women#How-do-symptoms-differ-for-women?

  • Decoding Intermittent Fasting with Dr. Chris Rhodes
    2026/09/08

    How can the research behind intermittent fasting help us rethink the way we approach our nutrition and our daily habits? Dr. Chris Rhodes has spent much of his career studying the science of fasting. He joins the show to unpack how fasting works in the body and what the research tells us about its potential benefits.

    Dr. Rhodes earned his PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry at UC Davis and is also the co-founder of Mimio. We discuss why someone might try intermittent fasting - from longevity to weight loss - as well as the importance of strength training and personalized nutrition.

    Links to resources mentioned in this episode:

    and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41372565/

    Here's a meta-analysis looking at the effects of time restricted eating: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41586347/

    Note: the glycine data we mention is only in mice: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6516426/

    Important caveat for this episode: the evidence is strongest in animal studies and human markers of aging. No intermittent fasting regimen has been shown to extend human lifespan or reduce mortality in humans.
