Summary

Menopause is generally completely misunderstood, even to doctors and women! So how is the male population expected to understand the changes in their partners and even to understand their own "manopause" journey? Our guest, Dr Rachel Rubin, is one of only a handful of physicians with fellowship training in sexual medicine for all genders. Dr. Rubin is a clinician, researcher, and passionate educator. Dr. Rubin completed her medical education at Tufts University, her urology training at Georgetown University, and her sexual medicine fellowship training with Dr. Irwin Goldstein in San Diego. On this show we break down all the symptoms and solutions to menopause, giving some helpful supportive tips to our male counterparts!

0:00.0	Welcome to Sex, Body and Soul. I'm Kate Roberts, founder of the Body Agency, and on this show,
0:06.4	we talk about the marvel that is our bodies and souls, what they can do and what we need to thrive.
0:13.1	You out there, listen up. We have some pretty hard, but juicy conversations here, and you need to hear this.
