Time for “the talk.” Seriously, we get sex ed when we go through puberty to know what to expect. But then we hit the other end of the hormonal spectrum and...crickets. Loss of libido and painful sex are real issues during menopausal years and, all too often, women suffer in silence. Issues like vaginal dryness don’t just hurt your sex life (though that’s bad enough!), they also just plain hurt when you’re trying to live an active life. None of that is particularly conducive to feeling and performing your best.
This week’s guest Dr. Lauren Streicher, author of Sex Rx- Hormones Health and Your Best Sex Ever, is one of the top authorities on the topic of menopause and sexual health. Dr. Streicher is the founder and medical director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Menopause and the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Health, which includes programs on Sexual Medicine and Vulvar and Vaginal Health. She’s been featured on Oprah, Good Morning America, Nightline, 20/20, Today, and the Meredith Vieira Show, just to name a few. She dishes out straight talk on sex solutions to help improve your “SexAbility” through menopause and the rest of your life. You can learn more about her and check out her work at: DrStreicher.com

0:33.0 | So, first, again, I would like to take a minute just to thank all of you for your kind words |

0:44.2 | Many of you thanked me for being brave and for being vulnerable and I guess I don't really |
0:49.1 | think about myself that way. |
0:51.0 | I just want to be honest and open about what's going on inside because otherwise all |
0:56.1 | people see is what's going on on the outside, right? And I think there's a danger there, |

1:23.9 | stuff about ourselves that we're not particularly proud of, but that's what |
1:28.3 | makes us humans. |
1:30.6 | And I think it's important to share that humanity. |
1:33.8 | So anyway, thank you all for being here and thank you for sharing this journey. |
