Joint Pain Isn't Just Aging
Women come to my practice having spent a year, sometimes longer, going from the joint specialist to the surgeon to the pain doctor. Frozen shoulder. Hip pain. Knee pain. Heel pain. That stiffness getting out of bed that absolutely did not used to be there. And what almost none of them have been tol…
Stop Chasing the Orgasm
Leah Piper opens this one with the cleanest definition of Tantra I have heard: the yoga of the bedroom. A solo practice for learning your own instrument, and a partnered one for playing with the band. Then she takes apart the three things she sees people do that quietly work against them. Making th…
Midlife Plot Twist: Time Doesn't Heal Grief
Here is the truth no one told us: time does not heal. We say it to each other constantly, and it is one of the kindest sounding, least helpful things we pass around. On this Midlife Plot Twist, I go straight at it. By the time we reach midlife, every one of us is carrying loss, and often a layer of…
Aliveness at Every Age: Tantra and Midlife Desire with Dr. Elsbeth Meuth
Here is what I want you to sit with: my guest is 77 and radiantly, unapologetically alive. Dr. Elsbeth Meuth is the co-founder of the TantraNova Institute, and she is one of my favorite people to talk to about the thing my whole message is built on: feeling alive at every age. Elsbeth reframes tant…
Spicy Science #1 - Loss of Libido
Two things women tell me in the exam room, almost word for word. The first is that they would be fine if they never had sex again. The second is that their partner is very understanding. What I do not say out loud is that understanding has a shelf life, and that libido was never only about sex in t…

Dr. Lyster brings decades of experience in women's health and a particular focus on helping women navigate hormonal changes in midlife.

Normal Is Not Optimal
Here is the line I want you to keep: "Normal is not optimal." Donna White has spent over 30 years teaching providers how to do hormones properly, and her example stopped me. A lab range for testosterone might run from around 300 up past 1,000. Come in at 352 and you are, officially, normal. Nobody …
Sunscreen or Skip Everything Else
I have known Jen Rowell for 12 years, which means she has had her hands on my face for the whole of my own midlife. So when I asked her what she sees happening to women's skin in their forties and fifties, she did not hand me a list of products. She started underneath. Oil production drops and cell…
When Her Employer Went Bankrupt, This OB/GYN Built Her Own Practice
How many times does the company that employs you have to change hands before you stop calling it security? For Liz Lyster, it was three sales and a bankruptcy. She started at Cigna in 1994, when it still ran its own hospital locations in Los Angeles, and watched the model eat itself: the office was…
What is "Hotness"? Confidence - Dating in the Wild #3
Solo travel was never on my list. I've traveled my whole life, almost always with family or to visit family, so landing in Las Vegas on my own for a business meeting has been an eye-opener. You make every call yourself, right down to what's for dinner and when. That turns out to be a quick way to b…
