Your Doctor Might Not Understand You: Self-Advocacy, Menopause & Understanding Your Sexuality and Health | Menopause Coach

In this empowering episode of the Please Me Podcast, Eve welcomes Dr. Victoria Mondloch, retired OB/GYN, women’s health advocate, and author of Full Bloom, for an important conversation about hormonal health, sexuality, menopause, and learning how to advocate for yourself within the healthcare system.

Dr. Mondloch explains why so many women feel dismissed, misunderstood, or under-supported when seeking help for symptoms related to hormonal changes. Together, she and Eve explore the physical, emotional, and sexual health impacts of perimenopause and menopause, helping listeners better understand what’s happening in their bodies and why these transitions deserve more attention and care.

The conversation dives into the importance of hormone testing, symptom tracking, and individualized care. Dr. Mondloch breaks down common signs of hormonal imbalance—including fatigue, mood changes, low libido, sleep disruption, brain fog, weight fluctuations, and vaginal dryness—while also discussing the role of cortisol, stress, and lifestyle factors in overall hormonal wellness.

Eve and Dr. Mondloch also discuss how hormone health connects to bone density, dental health, cardiovascular wellness, and long-term quality of life, emphasizing that menopause is not simply something women should “push through” without support.

Through real-life case studies and patient experiences, Dr. Mondloch encourages women to ask questions, seek second opinions when needed, and become active participants in their own health journey. This episode is both educational and validating, offering practical guidance for women navigating hormonal transitions with more confidence and clarity.
