@megkoppeleduffy is a cofounder of the @theneurostudio, a premier education and movement company helping people living with neurological conditions move better, and teaching movement professionals the best cutting edge techniques to work with people living with Neurological Conditions. Meghann is a fast-talking, zero BS practitioner who has been called the Larry David of Pilates because she is skilled at "observing weird things". She claims to not be everyone's cup of tea, but who is? It's clear to us that Meghann is passionate about her work and is making an epic difference in the lives of people who want access to movement and freedom from pain. We talk about changes in proprioception throughout our life cycle, adapting to movement as we age, and using humor and honesty in work that can be emotionally difficult. We also teach you what a "cloner" is. Bonus points if you email us your best guess BEFORE listening to the episode! #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx #feminist #perimenopausehealth #womenshealth #pilates #pilateslovers #workout #gym #pilatesinstructor #pilatesreformer #fitnessmotivation #wellness #personaltrainer #motivation #neurology #neuroscience #medicine #brain #health #neuro #doctor #medical #brainhealth #neurologist #anatomy #mentalhealth #neurologia

Germany-based comedian Abigail Paul - @abbyfourlaughs - says that co-host Ellie is her oldest friend. Not her most elderly friend, but the friend she has known the longest. She met co-host Julia a few years later, making all three of them VERY ELDERLY/OLD FRIENDS. That should entice you to listen to this episode, because richness of history makes for juicy conversation. Abigail moved to Germany as a young adult because she was "on the lam", trying to escape her abusive and narcissist mother, whose life and death inspired Abigail's award-winning solo show Involuntary Momslaughter. There are many wonderful stories in this episode, including the one about Abigail ignoring her fibroid tumors until she collapsed in a pharmacy and ended up in emergency surgery, the one where her gynecologist proclaimed her vagina her weakest organ, and the one where 18-year-old Abigail and Ellie sat together to take a pregnancy test after a condom broke. Also, all three people in this episode had birthdays in the last week, so listen and laugh and feel seen and celebrate with us! #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx #feminist #perimenopausehealth #womenshealth #menopauseawarenessmonth #adhd #anxiety #adhdawareness #asd #add #adhdproblems #adhdlife #mentalhealthawareness #neurodiversity #adhdsupport #dyslexia #adhdparenting #adhdbrain #neurodivergent #parenting #adhdmemes #ptsd #adhdwomen #adhdisreal #adultadhd #adhdmom

Blaire Postman is a comedian who was diagnosed with #ADHD as an adult and then embraced it as a super-power. She created a solo show called Lady ADHD: Hilariously Mind Blowing Observations from a Hyper-Insightful Brain. Due to a current medication shortage, we got to interview Blaire ten days into "going commando", and we talked about emotional dysregulation, song-stimming, and how a performance piece about a topic like ADHD can make audiences feel seen and not alone. We can relate to that for sure. We hope that you will relate to Ellie cursing at her son in a fit of perimenopausal aggression, and Julia's incredulousness at the fact that they only just invented a crash test dummy that mimics the female form. #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx #feminist #perimenopausehealth #womenshealth #menopauseawarenessmonth #adhd #anxiety #adhdawareness #asd #add #adhdproblems #adhdlife #mentalhealthawareness #neurodiversity #adhdsupport #dyslexia #adhdparenting #adhdbrain #neurodivergent #parenting #adhdmemes #ptsd #adhdwomen #adhdisreal #adultadhd #adhdmom

It's #worldmenopauseawarenessday! Have we helped you at all? What have you learned from listening to our show? #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx #feminist #perimenopausehealth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #menopauseawarenessmonth

Dr. Kimberly Mangla < @kschreibsmd > is a reproductive psychiatrist who works collaboratively with the obstetrics department at Mt. Sinai Hospital in NYC. She is involved in the teaching and supervision of psychotherapy and medication management during pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. She also happens treat Julia's Adult ADHD, and in honor of ADHD Awareness Month, we asked her ALL of the questions. What is ADHD, and why do many women not discover this diagnosis until adulthood? How can someone have ADHD and be high-functioning and laser-focused all at once? What is the intersection between ADHD and perimenopause? When is it time to take medication to help treat it? Does Ellie have ADHD or is she merely addicted to the apps on her phone? We also talk about crunchy knees, forgetting to shower and brush teeth, and pharmacies that carry an expensive array of vibrators. #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx #feminist #perimenopausehealth #womenshealth #menopauseawarenessmonth #adhd #anxiety #adhdawareness #asd #add #adhdproblems #adhdlife #mentalhealthawareness #neurodiversity #specialneeds #adhdsupport #dyslexia #adhdparenting #adhdbrain #neurodivergent #parenting #adhdmemes #ptsd #adhdwomen #adhdisreal #adultadhd #adhdmom

Skip to 42:54 of our latest interview with Dr. Maria Uloko to find out. Spoiler alert, it's a lot! #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx #feminist #perimenopausehealth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #menopauseawarenessmonth #clitoris

Where do we sign up!! W'ed follow Dr. Uloko anywhere! #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx #feminist #perimenopausehealth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #menopauseawarenessmonth #revolution

Dr. Maria Uloko is fired up, and we are right there with her. As the first ever Black female Urology student at her university, she has been trailblazing for the entirety of her career. Dr. Uloko specializes in comprehensive sexual health which includes the medical and surgical management of ALL genders. She is considered a world leader in chronic pelvic pain and vulvar conditions, she believes in empowering her patients to take ownership of their sexual health by providing a shame-free space to ask questions and share their stories, and she seeks to close gaps in disparities of care and implement systems that promote diversity and inclusivity. She is also an international award winning researcher with a focus in vulvar health, most notably her research in defining how many nerves are in the human clitoris. (Can you believe that this number was not known until recently, when she and her colleagues embarked on a study?) She told us that the anatomy of the vulva is not taught in medical school, even to gynecologists, and that this lack of knowledge and adequate care is equivalent to malpractice against those with female anatomy. She wants to start a revolution to correct all of this nonsense, and we have pledged to be her soldiers. We will march to the beat of Beyonce, and we will eat a cake in the shape of Queen Bey while we do so. #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx #feminist #perimenopausehealth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters

#FridayFunny with Rachel E. Gross have a great weekend!

Rachel E. Gross (@gross_out )is an award-winning science journalist who wrote an incredible book called Vagina Obscura which was a finalist for the 2023 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. Go ahead and be impressed, but do not be intimidated. Rachel will enthrall you with stories of outlandish treatments for ailments that plague people with female reproductive systems, including a personal tale involving rat poison and her own vagina. She takes us back through history to when the fallopian tubes were named after an Italian Catholic priest and when Freud decided that all "women's issues" were psychological. She discusses how medical terminology can be harmful, placing blame on the woman or the body part itself. If that's not enough to draw you in, listen as we realize that both Ellie and Julia know a ton about bacterial vaginosis, and in a delightful epiphany, Ellie gives the perfect name to the wall of vagina-inspired art in Rachel's home. Bonus points if you count the number of times "vagina" is said in this episode. #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx

This week Julia gets to talk to one of her #dream guests on the show! The incredible @gross_out talks to us about her book Vagina Obscura and tells us a harrowing story about #ratpoison. New #episode drops Wednesday! #perimenopause #science #menopause #genx

Congrats to @leohblooms and their 🫶🏻 engagement! On the latest episode of CTD #podcast, they explain what commitment looks like in a #polyamorous relationship! 💜 #perimenopause #menopause #genx #queer #nonbinary #prodom #pride

@leohblooms is a queer, fluid, and nonbinary-trans trauma-informed mentor and Pro Dom. Everything they do in their practice focuses on intimacy, mental health, gender, sex, and practical self-care. They help clients aged 21 and up to create lives they don't need to hide from by offering various levels of support in a power dynamic format, using kink for fun and as a healing modality. Listen to Leoh talk about coming out at the age of 45, jumping through medical hoops when a gender fluid person needs medical care, and explain what a Pro Dom actually IS and DOES. In response, Ellie talks about working in an office located upstairs from an old-school dominatrix, and Julia explores the idea of using a rope-tying technique for self-soothing. This was not our usual rodeo, and we liked it. We think you will, too. #perimenopause #menopause #genx #queer #nonbinary #prodom #pride

@WendySuzuki is a professor of Neural Science and Psychology and author of two incredible books, Good Anxiety and Healthy Brain, Happy Life. Her TED talk, The Brain-Changing Benefits of Exercise, has more than 60 million views, making it the 2nd most viewed TED talk of 2018. In spite of our awe, we managed to pick her fancy brain about many things, like how hormonal changes can lead to increased anxiety, tips for building resilience and staying motivated to exercise, and what to do about "choking" (AKA brain farts or derping). She told us all about her concept of "micro flow", causing us to envision a tiny Flo from the Progressive commercials sitting on our shoulders. This is why she is the Dean of the College of Arts and Science at NYU and we are not! We also talk about Ellie going braless for the summer and Julia rubbing emu oil on her skin. If you think the latter is problematic, remember Julia's words: "The emu is already dead at this point." #neuroscience #neurology #autism #brain #marines #airforce #navy #army #ptsd #physics #dementia #veterans #science #memory #perimenopause #menopause #genx

@aieshaturman does so many things and she does them with JOY. She is the kind of teacher that students keep in touch with for the rest of their lives, which is a rare and special thing. We totally get the appeal, because we had the best time talking to her about Reiki, Afrofuturism, literature, her work on the incredible award-winning documentary Crip Camp, and the differences AND similarities between the #hormonal transitions of her mother, her daughter, and herself. You'll also get to hear about Ellie graduating from her therapist, the time Julia #sharted the bed, and how strangers need to mind their own business and not offer random opinions to people they know nothing about. So much good stuff, PLUS a discount code for listeners who want to try Reiki with Dr. Turman. (You want to try it. Trust us.) #perimenopause #reiki #menopause #genx #afrofuturism #menopause #period
