  • The Bedroom Gap: What Menopause Does to Your Sex Life — Dr. Maria Sophocles

    The Bedroom Gap: What Menopause Does to Your Sex Life — Dr. Maria Sophocles
    May 6 2026
    Why does desire disappear during menopause — and what can you actually do about it? OB-GYN and sex counselor Dr. Maria Sophocles joins Stacy London to answer the questions your doctor won't ask and most women are too embarrassed to bring up. Dr. Sophocles is the author of The Bedroom Gap and one of the leading voices on women's sexual health and menopause. In this episode: the physiology of why menopause affects desire and arousal, the safety of vaginal estrogen and testosterone (even for cancer survivors), FDA-approved medications for low libido, how to talk about sex in a long-term relationship, and why sexual health is the fifth pillar of longevity. Dr. Sophocles also shares what she's doing beyond the exam room: mentoring clinicians, developing a documentary called HOT!, building a clinic in Kenya, and getting copies of The Bedroom Gap into domestic violence shelters and marginalized communities nationwide.

  • Motherhood, Menopause & Mental Health: Ruthie Ackerman on Life After COVID

    Motherhood, Menopause & Mental Health: Ruthie Ackerman on Life After COVID
    Oct 29 2025
    Author Ruthie Ackerman joins Stacy for an honest conversation about the messy overlap between postpartum, perimenopause, and pandemic-era mental health. They unpack how COVID blurred the lines between hormonal and emotional change—and why self-advocacy is essential for women’s healthcare today. Together, Stacy and Ruthie discuss how the isolation and emotional toll of lockdown amplified symptoms that were already difficult to parse, the importance of self-advocacy in women’s health, and the ongoing “COVID hangover” still affecting collective well-being. Ruthie Ackerman is the author of The Mother Code and the founder of the Ignite Writers Collective. Her writing has been published in Vogue, Glamour, TIME, and Oprah Daily, not to mention her Modern Love essay in the NYT. She lives in Brooklyn with her family.
