    #22- Tired but Wired After 40 Why Stress Hits Differently in Midlife (and What Actually Helps)
    2025/12/17

    Feeling exhausted but unable to shut your brain off at night? Waking up tired, crashing in the afternoon, and feeling constantly on edge—even though you’re taking care of yourself?


    In this episode, Dr. Jill and Dr. Ade explain why stress feels different in midlife and why strategies that used to work often stop working after 40. They break down how cortisol is supposed to function, how hormonal shifts change the stress response, and why many women feel dismissed when labs come back “normal.”


    This is a clear, physiology-based conversation about what’s actually happening in the midlife stress system—and how to support it without blaming yourself or chasing quick fixes.

    #21 - Peeing Constantly? Pain with Sex? ‘BV’ That Won’t Go Away? Here’s How to Fix It Fast.
    2025/12/03
    🎙️ Episode 21: Peeing Constantly? Pain with Sex? ‘BV’ That Won’t Go Away? Here’s How to Fix It Fast.If you’ve been peeing constantly, dealing with dryness or burning, or wondering why sex suddenly hurts when it never used to — this episode is for you. And here’s the truth you may not have heard: these symptoms are not “just aging,” and you absolutely do not have to live with them.In this essential episode of The Modern Midlife Collective, Dr. Jill Woodruff and Dr. Ade Akindipe break down Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) — one of the most common, most misunderstood, and most treatable conditions in perimenopause and menopause.✨ If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or embarrassed about these symptoms…this conversation is about clarity, biology, and getting you relief fast.Episode Highlights💧 What GSM Actually Is — and Why It Shows Up in Midlife How declining estrogen affects the vulva, vagina, bladder, and urethra — causing dryness, burning, UTIs, urgency, leaks, pain with sex, and pelvic discomfort.🚫 Why These Symptoms Are Misdiagnosed GSM looks like UTIs, yeast infections, BV, pelvic floor dysfunction — so women bounce between treatments without answers.🔟 The Top 10 Symptoms of GSM From dryness and tearing, to bladder spasms and recurrent UTIs — and why they’re all connected.🔥 Myth-Busting GSM • Vaginal estrogen treats bladder symptoms — not just dryness • The black box warning never applied to vaginal estrogen • Systemic HRT is not enough to reverse GSM • Lube is comfort — not treatment • GSM is not something you have to “just deal with”🩺 Treatments That Actually Work • Vaginal estrogen (cream, ring, tablet) — the gold standard • Pelvic floor physical therapy for leaks, urgency, painful sex • DHEA inserts for elasticity, sensation, and comfort • Moisturizers, vitamin E, coconut oil for daily hydration • Joylux/vFit for improved moisture, elasticity & pelvic support💞 GSM & Intimacy How pain disrupts desire — and how treating GSM restores connection, pleasure, and confidence.🧭 When to Seek Care If you’re peeing constantly, avoiding intimacy, getting frequent UTIs, or feeling uncomfortable daily — don’t wait. These symptoms are common and fully treatable.Memorable Quotes“This is not shame. This is biology — and we can treat it.” – Dr. Jill “When women understand the ‘why,’ their whole body softens. Relief begins with clarity.” – Dr. Ade “GSM is one of the most treatable conditions in menopause. You deserve comfort.” – Dr. Jill “Lube helps the moment.

  • #20 - The Estrogen Lie: What the FDA Finally Admitted After 20 Years

    #20 - The Estrogen Lie: What the FDA Finally Admitted After 20 Years
    2025/11/19
    🎙️ Episode 20: The Estrogen Lie: What the FDA Finally Admitted After 20 YearsFor more than 20 years, women were told estrogen was dangerous — linked to breast cancer, heart attacks, stroke, and even dementia. But this month, the FDA finally admitted what menopause experts have known all along: the black box warning on estrogen was wrong.In this powerful episode of The Modern Midlife Collective, Dr. Jill Woodruff and Dr. Ade Akindipe break down what the FDA got right, what the WHI study got wrong, and how a single misunderstood study reshaped menopause care for an entire generation.They explain why the warning never applied to the typical woman starting hormone therapy, how relative-risk headlines fueled unnecessary fear, and why both systemic and vaginal estrogen carried risks that modern science does not support.✨ If you’ve ever been told hormones are “too risky,” this episode may change everything you thought you knew.Episode Highlights🔥 What Just Happened: The FDA’s Decision Why the FDA removed the black box warning — and why the correction is decades overdue.⚠️ What a Black Box Warning Really Means And how estrogen never met the threshold for one.📚 The WHI Study: Misinterpreted From the Start What the study measured, what it didn’t, and how early reporting went wrong.📉 The Statistics Behind the Fear Why the infamous “26% increase” wasn’t statistically significant — and what absolute risk really shows.💔 The Fallout of Fear-Based Messaging Women suffering avoidable symptoms, stopping therapy cold-turkey, and avoiding even safe vaginal estrogen.📜 What the FDA Decision Fixes Clarity. Nuance. Individualized care. Plus the critical distinction between systemic and local estrogen.🧠 Confirmation Bias & Why It Took So Long Why fear spreads faster than facts — even among clinicians.🌿 What Women Should Do Now How to start a truly informed hormone conversation with your provider.Memorable Quotes“Fear is sticky. But so is empowerment.” – Dr. Ade “The FDA didn’t say hormones are perfect. They said the warning was wrong.” – Dr. Jill “We deserve individualized care — not blanket fear.” – Dr. Jill “When women have accurate information, they make powerful decisions.” – Dr. AdeGet to know the doctors behind the insights of The Modern Midlife Collective Podcast:Dr. Aderonke "Ade" Akindipe, DNP, MBA, APRN, FNP-CA board-certified nurse practitioner and the founder and medical director of Rejuvenate Health & Wellness.
