| 12 Dec 2024 | Unlocking the Secrets to Hair Health: Nutrafol’s Dr. Isabelle Raymond on Women’s Unique Hair Needs | 00:30:40 | |
Dr. Isabelle Raymond, Head of Clinical and Medical Affairs for Nutrafol, joins SHE MD to dive into the science of hair health. Together, they explore the complex root causes of hair thinning in women, including genetic factors, hormonal changes, stress, and the transformative impact of life stages like perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Raymond sheds light on how Nutrafol’s targeted, science-backed formulations stand apart, explaining how they’re designed to address women’s unique hair health needs with supplements for different life phases, including postpartum, and menopause. With a holistic approach to hair care, Nutrafol embraces the interconnected factors of diet, microbiome health, and inflammation, dispelling common myths about hair thinning.

NUTRAFOL’S 5 TAKEAWAYS: 1. Not all supplements are created equal. Supplements as a category overwhelmingly relies on single-ingredient studies, and that can make it confusing as a consumer to understand which products are going to deliver the impact they promise. Look for products with clinical studies conducted on full formulations. 2 Not all clinical studies are created equal. Who, how and what is evaluated is as meaningful as the outcome in a clinical study. As a consumer, here are some key things to look for that can help you decipher information from clinical studies: subject selected by random process, diverse group of subjects studied, test treatments measured against a controlled treatment, studies completed on final formulas and not just single ingredients, studies that have been published by peer-reviewed journals 3. Hair health is reflective of whole-body health. That’s why it’s important to target the key root causes of thinning, by incorporating a supplement into your routine as well as addressing lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep or environmental factors. Your body and hair will also change based on your life stage and lifestyle. Nutrafol's formulas are uniquely tailored to support you where you are and with what you and your hair need most. 4. Menopausal hair thinning is common, but there are ways to address it head on. More than 50% of women will experience hair thinning through menopause. Supporting your body with a hair-focused supplement like Nutrafol that addresses hormonal shifts as a root cause can help support your hair through these changes. 5. Advocate for – and educate – yourself! It’s inspiring to see the landscape beginning to shift, as women and female physicians have a bigger voice in leading and informing medical research. But 80% of women still report never receiving education about menopause! I encourage women to educate themselves on menopause so they feel better prepared for the changes that menopause brings and can voice them, or any other concerns, with their physician. GUEST BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Isabelle Raymond is Nutrafol’s Head of Clinical and Medical Affairs. Her expertise is in dermatology, with a focus on hair health. In her role at Nutrafol, Dr. Raymond oversees Nutrafol’s rigorous clinical testing process and medical research publications, ensuring that the formulations are scientifically sound and effective.

| 30 Apr 2024 | Hysteria, Witchcraft, and Bikini Medicine — Dr. Elizabeth Comen Talks the Truth and Lies of Early Medicine | 00:44:14 | |
Dr. Elizabeth Comen has dedicated her medical career to saving the lives of women. She’s a Memorial Sloan Kettering oncologist, a medical historian, and the author of “All in Her Head — The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women’s Bodies and Why it Matters Today.” In this episode, Mary Alice and Dr. Aliabadi get a crash course in the problematic history that has shaped women’s healthcare, from the catch-all-diagnosis of hysteria that persisted into the early 20th century to the “bikini medicine” keeping women’s healthcare limited today. Dr. Comen dives into the shift from midwifery to gynecology, as women healers became scrutinized for witchcraft and men paved the way for modern obstetrics. She shares findings from her extensive research, including how the desire to control women’s sexuality historically led to outrageous medical beliefs like the idea that scoliosis was caused by masturbation. Dr. Comen and Dr. Aliabadi discuss gender bias as it pertains to female physicians and feminine nurturing in medicine, and the shame they observe in patients who aren’t comfortable sharing symptoms and apologize for natural bodily responses, even in their final moments. Women’s issues in medicine are typically underfunded, under-researched, and often misdiagnosed. Dr. Comen discusses the root cause of societal stigmas and lingering ignorance that shape women’s healthcare and our relationships with our own bodies. Don’t miss this fascinating episode of SHE MD.

We're not waiting for any particular milestone or marker because I think a lot of women think, Oh, well, I haven't suffered enough, or my symptoms aren't bad enough. That should not be the standard of care we use. We treat it when the symptoms are bothersome for you.” Dr. Sharon Malone “So, the things that we talk about like hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, vaginal dryness. The list goes on and on. All of those things can happen well in advance of when you think menopause is supposed to start, and It causes a lot of consternation because we're not prepared for it and women don't know what to do.” Dr. Sharon Malone See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. | |||

Have you ever wondered why diets don't work? We're sitting down with sought-after nutrition therapist Elyse Resch, co-author of the acclaimed bestseller Intuitive Eating, and the nutritionist who cured Mary Alice's relationship with food to discuss the science and psychology behind the Intuitive Eating method.

The conversation turns to how children are influenced by their parents’ food choices and the best way to keep kids healthy without projecting or shaming.

Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina TAKEAWAYS 1. Reframe ‘Clean’: Clean Skincare Does Not Mean Acne-Safe! Organic coconut oil = organic pimples! Even natural ingredients can clog pores. 2. Get Rid of Pore-Clogging Ingredients: To build an acne-safe skincare routine, google ‘CLEARSTEM Pore-Clogging Ingredients Checker’ and search for your products. Our resource will help you identify the potential pore-clogging ingredients in your current product lineup so you can swap them out for clear-skin alternatives. 3. Simplify Your Skincare: You don’t need an 18-step routine. Keep your routine streamlined and focus on product efficacy. CLEARSTEM has clinical trials to demonstrate our effectiveness in clearing acne. 4. Address the Root Cause of Your Acne through Nutrition & Lifestyle: There are many hidden internal acne triggers, like gluten & dairy, refined sugar & industrial seed oils, and even the protein found in egg whites. Dive deeper than topical skincare to reduce inflammation and clear your skin from within. 5. Think Beyond Acne Prescriptions: Traditional acne medications and birth control can help, but these ‘solutions’ often have adverse side effects that last for years. Our goal at CLEARSTEM is to empower you with in-depth resources that support your holistic well-being on your path to clear skin for life.

In this episode, actress, activist, and author Olivia Munn gives a heart-wrenching account of her experience undergoing a double mastectomy for breast cancer just one year after giving birth to her son, whom she shares with partner John Mulaney.

Dr. Aliabadi, who similarly had a double mastectomy and breast cancer that was initially missed, explains how Olivia’s cancer alluded initial testing.
