In this episode of the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney is joined by two powerhouse OB-GYNs and co-founders of Fem.ed, Dr. Sara Twogood and Dr. Alyssa Quimby from Cedars-Sinai. Together, they tackle the often-taboo topics of sexual health, perimenopause, and the mental load women carry as they navigate motherhood and their careers. This episode breaks down important discussions around:

• The impact of perimenopause and postpartum changes on sexual health.
• How to improve communication with your partner about sex and intimacy.
• Common physical changes women experience, from vaginal dryness to irregular bleeding.
• Misconceptions around HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and who might benefit from it.
• Tips on vaginal health, including what to avoid and how to care for your body.
• The importance of having conversations about mental load, self-care, and sexual well-being with your sexual partner(s).
