9 HRT and Menopause Podcasts

This conversation between Dr. Andrew Huberman and OB-GYN Dr. Mary Claire Haver reframes menopause and perimenopause as a major, actionable health transition rather than a brief hormonal event. Dr. Haver explains the endocrinology of the “zone of chaos” in perimenopause, the sharp decline of ovarian hormones, and why timing of hormone therapy is critical for brain, heart, bone, and metabolic health.

Mel Robbins interviews menopause specialist Dr. Mary Claire Haver about what actually happens to women’s bodies, brains, and hormones during perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Andrew Huberman interviews OB-GYN and hormone expert Dr. Sara Gottfried on how female hormones interact with stress, gut health, nutrition, and life stage to shape vitality and longevity.

Neuroscientist Dr Lisa Mosconi explains that menopause is not just the end of fertility but a profound neuroendocrine transition that rewires the female brain, temporarily lowering brain energy and altering structure and connectivity.

Women’s sexual and urinary health complaints are frequently dismissed because many clinicians are not trained in sexual medicine anatomy, diagnosis, or modern hormone therapies beyond reproduction-focused gynecology.

Four leading experts in fertility, sports medicine, orthopedics, and menopause reveal how profoundly women’s health has been overlooked in research, education, and clinical care. They explain why female physiology is not just a smaller version of male physiology and how that misunderstanding harms women across their lifespan—from puberty to menopause.

Mel Robbins interviews OB-GYN Dr. Jen Gunter about what menopause really is, how it affects the body, and how women can safely treat symptoms using evidence-based medicine. They reframe menopause as “puberty in reverse,” a normal life stage that can be both challenging and liberating, not the end of a woman’s value or health. A major focus is separating FDA-approved menopausal hormone therapy from unregulated compounded “bioidentical” products and pellets, and clarifying real versus exaggerated risks such as breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. The conversation also covers non-hormonal strategies, how to talk to doctors and loved ones, and why women should refuse to blame hormones for structural sexism or “mediocre men.”

Andrew Huberman explains how testosterone and estrogen work across the lifespan and how behaviors like competition, sleep, breathing, light exposure, and exercise shape these hormones.

Orthopedic surgeon and healthy aging expert Dr. Vonda Wright explains why most of what we call “aging” is actually the result of lifestyle, not inevitability, and how mobility can radically change our health trajectory.
