And how some things in our lives that we think of as "chores" may be worth re-examining. You can listen to the full uncut interview and episode here or anywhere you listen to podcasts: Episode 27 of the Navigating Joy Together podcast " Sharing JOY through 'My Aloof Vagina' with Martha McBride" It's a sweet show with practical tips on how to stay connected to joy as a family.

HRT or the "Natural Route" for Perimenopause? With Hormone Replacement Therapy, Why Is Your Own Research Key? When Should You Give Up Alcohol? with Guest Deanna Boyd 29:44

منذ 2 years29:44

Martha is joined again by Deanna Boyd, Make Up Artist & Photographer, and they discuss the different paths. To HRT or Not to HRT? What is the outlook and perspective of a woman who has decided to manage all this “naturally” - without HRT and or even herbal HRT alternatives? How might someone end up on the HRT path in her early 50s? Which lifestyle change might you feel compelled to make during perimenopause? (Martha's margarita-loving self is resisting the news.) And why might reading up on things - step away from the Google first - help us ride this wave with more peace and bring our loved ones along for the ride?

Seek out information and support. Don't rely on your gynecologist to know how to guide you. It can be confusing, but you really do get to choose what's right for you and your particular circumstances. Read up on it so that YOU make the decision for yourself. Take care of yourself.

In this Bonus Episode from the Galentine's Day Livestream - the day before Valentine's - or V-day - for VAGINA which was the official launch day of My Aloof Vagina - Martha is joined by Tara, a kink coach she's known for almost 20 years, to celebrate the long-awaited launch of this way overdue podcast. Tara, a favorite guest from episode 2 , returned to talk about the ways our desires and experiences change as we age, her top recommended adult toys for women & some fun tips on things you can do to spice things up with things from around your house. You'll never look at a spatula quite the same way again. Join us to see what's cooking! Tara also shared: changes some men experience at our age that are not erectile dysfunction, but can be confusing and upsetting the reason we shouldn't JUST be masturbating our clitoris why someone as literal-minded as Martha might miss out on available fun As promised during the show, here are the best-selling and highly recommended vibrators she shared: A FAVE comes with a warranty, high-end materials, discreet and a MIND-BLOWING treat for your clitoris. (No C.A. here! And no need for a womanizer! This is the one. Clitorally mindblowing! ) Tara's very favorite toy!

Martha & Sally talk about the collection of changes that made Sally realize she was in perimenopause, even as her doctors continued to claim that her hormones “looked fine” and they didn’t “think” she was in it yet. Is part of “the change” external and more connected to the messages we’re getting about being “too old” or “past our prime”? (Things that aren’t really reflected in those snapshots of a hormone blood serum draw.) And how do some of those messages contribute to the increase in rather flippant recommendations to “just get a hysterectomy” in our 40s? What IF you aren’t ready to give it up? Your career, sex, your uterus, your right to reinvent yourself? We explore these questions and more and arrive at some answers in this episode. We START this conversation talking about how we’re targeted — solutions-peddlers are leveraging our pain points to make the sale! And we're not loving that that makes the product sellers our main source of information. We END this episode talking about how I HAPPILY spent hundreds of dollars on a vFit - a medical red-light therapy device for my vagina that two years later I still love! (You can save 10% with the link below.) And, because my friends see me wearing them all the time (along with the eye gels) Frownies facial patches come up once again. You can save 10% with code MAV10 or by using the link below. MAV TIP: If any medical professional (or friend giving you "medical advice") suggests a surgery or procedure, do your homework. Research it a little! Just because someone else is happy they did something, even if their symptoms seem similar to yours, doesn't mean their solution is the most up-to-date one or even appropriate for your particular situation.

Martha is joined by her friend Kristen who shares a back-to-back series of alarming symptoms she had. What does it look when you go to even your GOOD doctor with hard-to-document symptoms when they know you have struggled with anxiety in the past? What about when you advocate for yourself, they run tests and the tests show nothing? Or the tests show SOMETHING but your doctor doesn’t seem spurred to action? And SHOULD you avoid consulting Dr. Google before you go? These questions and more are covered in this episode. Products & details mentioned The iron supplement and blood builder that finally reversed Martha's anemia. She was able to tolerate it and stay on it long enough to increase her ferritin and blood iron. She buys the 180-count bottle and that last 6 months, but it's available in 30 -count to try. Before that she had success and results with this liquid iron , a similar nutritional profile, but stopped using it because it stained her teeth unless she drank it with a straw in some orange juice...and that just wasn't sustainable with her routine (plus hard to travel with) Kristen is using these raw iron tablets. MAV Tip: This too shall pass! But in the meantime, if you’re concerned, seek medical attention. And if the medical personnel you seek attention from don’t seem to “get it” consider seeking practitioners who understand perimenopause and menopause and will work with you to find you some relief.

Martha's friend "Jen" joins her to talk about things she's learned about sex with men as they age. “Jen” blew Martha's mind last fall with her insights about sex with guys after they're 50. That led to this recorded conversation revisiting the revelations and exploring what may be driving the changes we’re noticing in our sexual encounters in the over-50 dating world. What’s the deal with these marathon love-making sessions guys are serving up to us as we get older? What’s a sure sign your man is using Viagra and not telling you? And what’s the way forward, navigating our aging sexual organs together? The answers to these questions and more are in this episode. MAV Tip: Communicate. It's basic, I know. And doesn't JUST apply to aging members, but it sure does make everything in the bedroom better. So, if you're not communicating, learn from my mistake and avoid my oblivious situation by being open about what's going on with you and trusting that the GROWN UP you are getting naked with can deal with life.

Flooding periods, IUDs and IUD Removal and Progesterone the HRT "Gateway Drug" - BONUS 13:31

In this NSFM* ladies-only episode, Martha's friend returns to talk about midlife issues that are top of mind. This shorter episode contains just one side of the conversation about flooding periods during perimenopause, IUDs and IUD removal, and how progesterone is often the first HRT intervention suggested and the first "needed" (by those who choose to go that route) What are some doctors using to manage perimenopause symptoms? Why is being drunk in love dangerous when middle-age is bearing down on you? Get the answers to these questions in this episode. * Are you one of my male listeners? This episode is marked NSFM (NOT suitable for men) due to menstruation stories you DEFINITELY don’t want to hear. 😂 Instead, please listen skip to the Viagra episode for some all-gender commiseration and laughs. It's a “sexier” less-likely-to-traumatize-you episode. You’re welcome! And get your own deck of Martha's inappropriate affirmation cards . MAV Tip: There are many ways to navigate the hormonal roller coaster of perimenopause, from diet, exercise, and other lifestyle habits to hormonal interventions, natural and pharmaceutical. If you need birth control in your forties, maybe a hormonal IUD could be right for you. Vasectomies, of course, are also useful. :) Even if you don't go the IUD route, if you're experiencing flooding periods your doctor can explore options with you. If they don't take your heavy periods (or excessive breast tenderness) seriously, seek out other medical opinions - even if it means finding a non-gyno menopause practitioner. NAMS (the North American Menopause Society) offers a searchable directory of Menopause Practitioners they certify. *Unnecessary is in the eye of the beholder. You do you, boo. You get to choose.

Why So Many Uninformed Hysterectomies in Midlife? How Did YOU Know You Were in Perimenopause? What Was Your First Menopause Symptom? What’s the Deal with Younger Guys Hitting on Older Women? Ladies… 29:20

Warning: NSFM* What it’s like to wait for “the menopause symptoms” to show up & then have your “big sign” be your period shifting a little at 55 and just *poof* ending in a span of less than 3 months? Oh. AND mood swings? JUST crazy mood swings! And what ABOUT those periods? What drastic intervention are some doctors offering as a “solution” to heavy periods in our 40s or early 50s? It’s upsetting, but it’s something you should know. In this NSFM* ladies-only episode, Martha & Stacy talk about unnecessary hysterectomies, the canaries in the coal mine that tip you off that you’re in perimenopause, and flooding periods. Related: Here's Martha's TikTok from the "Convention Incident" (Men...be forewarned...this story isn't really for you!) And finally - what’s a surefire way to make 30-year-old guys realize you’re more than old enough to be their mom? And will that stop them from hitting on you? Get the answers to these questions on this episode with Martha and Stacy. * Are you one of my male listeners? This episode is marked NSFM (NOT suitable for men) due to menstruation stories you DEFINITELY don’t want to hear. 😂 Instead, please listen to one of my other “sexier” less-likely-to-traumatize-you episodes, like the one right before this focused on Happy Endings. You’re welcome! Martha's Botox alternative: Frownies (Save 10% with MAV discount link or by using discount code MAV10) MAV Tip: Get a second opinion if a hysterectomy is suggested and a) you're not already seeking it for your own reasons and b) there isn't a pathology or serious issue that makes removing your uterus urgent. A lot of the perimenopausal conditions that lead to "unnecessary"* hysterectomies can be handled pretty effectively with HRT, natural remedies, and other treatments like ablation.

Martha visits her friend Dr. K who's moved to Arizona and found the desert energy has led to an influx of interested men in her life. This Part 1 episode from their conversation touches on dating in your 50s, learning to trust your instincts, and provides a sneak peek into how massage "Happy Endings" work. This felt like inner-sanctum dude intel and Martha and Dr. K report back breathlessly (and sometimes in hysterics) after getting the 411 from one of their guy friends. He didn't hold back, so they don't either.

Martha recalls a harrowing incident with a dangerously full bladder in the cockpit of a tiny plane mid flight. And she and her friends drive themselves to distraction about their over-50 bladder habits & the "easy-peasy" procedure that helped their friend KK with her stress incontinence. Imaginations run wild with the idea that you could go in for a full tune up! Get Bulkamid injections, some Botox, a little filler for your nasolabial folds! Top it all off with the pleasure-boosting O Shot ! (...which Martha was thisclose to getting in 2021. Phew!) KK's procedure: Bulkamid (she says it worked well for her) Martha's Botox alternative: Frownies (Save 10% with MAV discount link.) Photos from the fateful cockpit emergency are on Instagram here , including the screenshot of the note she wrote to her colleague. Video from the flight coming soon. We explore pelvic health more thoroughly and learn more about the aging vagina and the typical path to incontinence later in Season 1 with Dr. Wendy Chorny: What Happens to Our Vaginas As We Age & What's Estrogen Got To Do (Got To Do) With It? Why Is Pelvic-Floor Health So Important? What Makes Minor Urine Leakage Worsen? Does Peeing When You Sneeze Lead to Bigger Issues? MAV Tip: Hydrate. We know you hear it everywhere; you already know! But between kidney stones, UTIs, and crepey-looking skin, letting yourself get dehydrated in midlife is just asking for trouble. Hate the taste of water? Add some salt, lemon or cucumber and make it "spa"-gua. Trying drinking 12 oz as soon as you wake up and 12 more 20 minutes later and you'll get ahead for the day. Thank you for listening!
