Ask Dr. A: What Every Woman Should Know About UTIs
Urinary tract infections are one of the most common health issues women experience, yet there's still so much confusion about what they are, why they happen, and how they're different from yeast infections and other vaginal conditions. In this episode of Ask Dr. A, Dr. Aliabadi breaks down the anatomy behind UTIs, explains the difference between bladder infections and kidney infections, and shares the symptoms every woman should know. Dr. Aliabadi also dives into why some women seem to get recurrent UTIs while others never experience them, covering the roles of hydration, sex, genetics, hormones, menopause, and the vaginal microbiome. She explains how bacteria causes infection, why urine cultures are essential for an accurate diagnosis, and the common mistakes that can lead to repeated infections. Plus, you'll learn evidence-based prevention strategies, including the truth about cranberry supplements, D-mannose, vaginal estrogen, probiotics, and whether peeing after sex actually helps. If you've ever wondered why UTIs keep coming back, or how to lower your risk, this episode is packed with practical information every woman should know.

Go to TM.org/SheMD What You’ll Learn The difference between UTIs, bladder infections, kidney infections, and yeast infections How bacteria enters the urinary tract and causes infection Common UTI symptoms and warning signs you shouldn't ignore Why some women are more prone to recurring infections The role of hydration, sex, and vaginal health in UTI prevention How menopause and declining estrogen affect urinary tract health When a urine culture is necessary and why it matters The truth about cranberry supplements, D-mannose, and other prevention strategies Why recurrent UTIs may require a deeper investigation Key Timestamps 00:00 Welcome to She MD Podcast 00:46 UTI, Yeast infection, Bladder infection, and Kidney infection 07:12 E.coli and how you get them in the urethra 13:09 How is the test called? 19:45 What can a woman do for these infections? 29:13 What kind of treatment will help with the infection? 37:15 Vaginal Estrogen Treatment 45:18 How do you address the bacteria? 50:20 How much is too much? 51:40 Let's address some myths 53:33 Final Words Key Takeaways UTIs and yeast infections are completely different conditions that affect different parts of the body. Most UTIs begin as bladder infections caused by bacteria entering the urethra. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent serious kidney infections. Hydration, urinating after sex, and avoiding prolonged urine retention can reduce risk. Vaginal microbiome health plays a major role in preventing recurrent UTIs. Menopause-related estrogen loss can increase susceptibility to urinary tract infections. A urine culture is the best way to confirm whether symptoms are truly caused by a UTI. Cranberry extract and D-mannose may help prevent recurrent infections but are not treatments for active UTIs. Recurrent infections should prompt an evaluation of underlying causes rather than repeated rounds of antibiotics.

The Truth About Addiction That Every Woman Should Know ft. Dr. Sarah Wakeman
Addiction affects millions of people, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized medical conditions. This week on SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney sits down with Dr. Sarah Wakeman, a nationally recognized addiction medicine specialist, Harvard Medical School faculty member, and leading advocate for evidence-based addiction treatment. Dr. Wakeman shares how her experiences treating patients revealed a troubling reality: people struggling with addiction are often treated very differently than those with other chronic illnesses. Together, they explore why addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failing, and what needs to change in healthcare, policy, and public perception. The conversation also dives into alcohol use, women's unique health risks, pregnancy, breast cancer, and the growing body of research on how alcohol impacts long-term health. This episode is an eye-opening discussion about stigma, recovery, compassion, and the power of treating addiction with science instead of judgment.

Stigma and judgment often prevent people from getting the treatment they need. Many people with addiction have histories of trauma, adversity, or significant life challenges. Alcohol carries real health risks, including an increased risk of breast cancer, even at lower levels of consumption. Women metabolize alcohol differently and may experience greater health impacts than men. Recovery is possible, especially when treatment is rooted in science, compassion, and individualized care. Language matters; how we talk about addiction can either reinforce stigma or support healing. Understanding addiction as a medical condition is essential to improving care and saving lives. Guest Bio Dr. Sarah Wakeman is a nationally recognized leader in addiction medicine, a graduate of Brown University, and a faculty member at Harvard Medical School. She is double board-certified in Internal Medicine and Addiction Medicine and serves as the Program Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Addiction Medicine Fellowship. Throughout her career, Dr. Wakeman has been at the forefront of transforming how substance use disorders are treated, advocating for evidence-based, compassionate care that replaces stigma with science. She has helped develop innovative treatment programs, mentored the next generation of addiction medicine specialists, and worked to expand access to life-saving care for patients across the healthcare system. As a physician, educator, and national thought leader, Dr. Wakeman is passionate about changing the conversation around addiction; helping people understand that substance use disorder is a medical condition, not a moral failing, and that recovery is possible with the right support and treatment.

My Mammogram Was Clear. I Still Had Breast Cancer ft. Stacey Hunt
On this deeply personal episode of SHE MD, co-host Mary Alice Haney sits down with her lifelong best friend, Stacey Hunt, to share the story of how listening to the podcast led Stacey to advocate for herself, and ultimately, catch her breast cancer early enough to save her life. After hearing the Olivia Munn episode and learning about lifetime breast cancer risk assessments, dense breast tissue, and the importance of MRIs for high-risk women, Stacey decided to take action. Despite having a recent “clear” mammogram and no symptoms, she pushed for additional testing after learning her lifetime risk score was 28%. That MRI revealed a tiny invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; something her mammogram missed entirely. Together, Stacey, Mary Alice, and Thais Aliabadi have an emotional and eye-opening conversation about self-advocacy, early detection, dense breasts, genetic testing, the realities of a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment decisions, reconstruction options, menopause after cancer, and the emotional toll that comes with survivorship. This episode is both a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives and a call for every woman to know her lifetime risk of breast cancer. Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Sponsors Myriad: Go to GetMyRisk.com to learn more about hereditary cancer testing and how you can use Myriad’s virtual care option for fast, at-home testing - no office visit required. What You’ll Learn Why every woman should know her lifetime breast cancer risk score The difference between 2D and 3D mammograms Why women with dense breasts may need ultrasounds and MRIs What the Myriad genetic test measures The difference between ductal and lobular breast cancer Why invasive lobular cancer can be harder to detect How to advocate for yourself when a doctor dismisses your concerns The emotional reality of receiving a breast cancer diagnosis The connection between menopause, breast cancer, and hormone replacement therapy Non-hormonal options for managing menopause symptoms after breast cancer Why repetition and education empower women to take control of their health Key Timestamps 00:00 Why You’re Tired Even When You’re Doing Everything Right 01:40 The Random Phone Call That Changed Everything 02:30 This Story Honestly Scared Me 03:29 The Podcast Episode That Literally Saved Her Life 04:14 The Breast Cancer Test Nobody Told Her About 05:42 She Got Her Results Back… And Freaked Out 09:16 Her Doctor Basically Said “You’re Fine” 11:58 When Your Doctor Makes You Feel Dramatic 13:26 The MRI That Found What Everyone Missed 14:11 The Type Of Breast Cancer That Hides 16:49 The Call Nobody Ever Wants To Get 19:18 What Having Cancer Actually Feels Like 22:50 Why She Removed Both Breasts 30:44 The Hormone Question Everyone is Asking 41:58 How Cancer Completely Changed Her Perspective 43:49 The Advice Every Woman Needs To Hear Key Takeaways Early detection can dramatically improve breast cancer outcomes, especially for aggressive or hard-to-detect cancers. Dense breast tissue can make mammograms less effective, which is why additional imaging may be necessary. A normal mammogram does not always mean you are cancer-free. Knowing your lifetime risk of breast cancer can help determine the right screening protocol for you. Self-advocacy can save your life, even when medical professionals initially dismiss your concerns. Invasive lobular breast cancer is often more difficult to detect than ductal breast cancer. Every woman’s treatment journey is personal, and mental health and peace of mind matter when making decisions. There are non-hormonal ways to manage menopause symptoms after breast cancer. Community, education, and shared experiences can empower women to take action for their health. The “SHE MD effect” is real: informed women help save other women’s lives. Guest Bio Stacey Hunt is a breast cancer survivor, mother, and longtime friend of Mary Alice Haney whose life was changed after listening to SHE MD. Inspired by the podcast’s conversations around breast cancer risk assessments and early detection, Stacey advocated for additional screening despite having a recent negative mammogram and no symptoms. Her persistence led to the discovery of an early-stage invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; a diagnosis that may have otherwise gone undetected for years. In this powerful episode, Stacey shares her deeply personal journey through diagnosis, self-advocacy, treatment, and recovery, offering an inspiring reminder of the importance of knowing your risk, trusting your instincts, and speaking up for your health.

The Pregnancy Test Every Woman Should Know About ft. Zhenya Lindgardt & Dr. Tiffany Inglis
Following the overwhelming response to the Hailey Bieber episode, SHE MD sits down with Sera Prognostics CEO Zhenya Lindgardt and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tiffany Inglis for a powerful, science-backed conversation about preterm birth, maternal health, and the pregnancy blood test most women, and most doctors, have never heard of. They unpack how a simple test taken between 18 and 20 weeks can predict and help prevent preterm birth in women who would otherwise be considered "low risk." This conversation goes deep into the science behind the PreTRM test and the two proteins it measures. The doctors explain why other current screening methods miss nearly 80% of women who will go on to deliver prematurely, and how the preTRM® test is changing maternal care from reactive to preventive. They break down the role inflammation and placental health play in pregnancy, and how the preventive protocol used in the PRIME study helped reduce early preterm births by 56%. They also dive into the emotional, physical, and financial toll of NICU stays, disparities in maternal healthcare, and why women need better access to personalized pregnancy care. This episode is ultimately about agency: knowing your individual risk, advocating for the care you deserve, and shifting maternal medicine from reactive to preventive. Whether you're pregnant, planning to be, or supporting someone who is, this conversation delivers the science, the resources, and the mindset shift that could change the trajectory of a pregnancy and the lives that depend on it.

Over the course of her career, she has helped thousands of patients build families through IVF, IUI, and egg freezing, and counseled many more through the realities of PCOS, endometriosis, recurrent loss, and unexplained infertility.

Aging Is Natural, Declining Is Not: The Algae Science Most Doctors Miss
She's 70 years old, holds a PhD she earned in her late 60s, and looks like she cracked the code on aging. But Dr. Catharine Arnston isn't selling a beauty secret she's sharing 17 years of research into two of the most scientifically documented superfoods on Earth: spirulina and chlorella. In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Aliabadi sit down with Dr. Catharine Arnston, Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits, for one of the most eye-opening conversations we've had on this show. It started with her sister's breast cancer diagnosis and a pivot away from a 25-year corporate career. What she found in the research changed everything she thought she knew about energy, brain health, aging, and women's bodies. This isn't wellness fluff. There are over 100,000 peer-reviewed studies on these two algae. NASA has been feeding them to astronauts for 50 years. The United Nations endorsed spirulina as the answer to world hunger. And yet most women in the Western world have never heard of them. Learn More Here: https://energybits.com/discount/SHEMD?rfsn=9096638.6abd9cc1&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=9096638.6abd9cc1 What You'll Learn Why algae was the first life on Earth and why that matters for your body The difference between macroalgae (seaweed, kelp) and microalgae (spirulina, chlorella) How spirulina creates cellular energy without the crash of caffeine or sugar What phycocyanin is and how this blue pigment behaves differently in healthy versus unhealthy cells Why mitochondria decline with age and how to protect them with nutrition The role of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and why your body stops making it after age 30 Why menopause damages women's mitochondria twice as fast as men's How chlorella detoxes heavy metals, glyphosate, aluminum, and other environmental toxins Why chlorella is essential for anyone on a GLP-1 or any weight loss journey How chlorella naturally supports serotonin, melatonin, sleep, and bowel motility The right dosage of each algae by age, condition, and time of day Why high heat in processing kills the benefits of most algae on the market The truth about excess stored iron, inflammation, and "rusting from the inside" after menopause How ENERGYbits are sourced in Taiwan in triple-filtered mountain spring water How to use algae for weight loss, sleep, brain fog, skin health, and longevity Key Timestamps 00:00 Welcome Dr. Catharine Arnston & Why Algae Matters 00:25 Catharine's Sister, Cancer, and the Origin of ENERGYbits 01:49 Plant-Based Nutrition and the Otto Warburg Discovery 02:46 Why People Don't Eat Vegetables (and What to Do About It) 03:28 Why No One Knows About Algae Despite 100,000 Studies 04:19 Why NASA Feeds Algae to Astronauts 04:43 Algae Is Food, Not a Supplement 06:45 "Aging Is Natural, Declining Is Not" 07:08 Macroalgae vs. Microalgae Explained 08:24 Why Lake & Ocean Algae Can Be Toxic 09:27 Spirulina: Energy at the Cellular Level 10:22 Why Algae Protein Beats Animal Protein 10:49 Dosage 101: When and How Much to Take 12:13 Phycocyanin: The Blue Pigment That Targets Unhealthy Cells 14:34 The Electron Transport Chain & ATP (The "Ferrari" Analogy) 15:48 Aging, Mitochondria & Cellular Decline 16:13 Superoxide Dismutase (SOD): The Hidden Antioxidant 17:53 Why Menopause Hits Women's Mitochondria Twice as Hard 19:38 Brain Fog, Depression & Damaged Mitochondria 20:37 Mary Alice's Family History & The Case for Prevention 22:10 How Fast You'll Feel It & Mitochondrial DNA Regeneration 23:16 Anti-Angiogenesis & Stopping Tumor Blood Supply 24:10 Chlorella: The Body's Tow Truck for Toxins 27:45 Chlorophyll, Hemoglobin & Building Your Blood 28:35 Glutathione, Liver Health & Tryptophan 29:03 Chlorella, Serotonin & Mood 29:34 Chlorella for Bowel Motility 30:25 The Athlete Protocol (NHL & NFL Dosing) 31:12 Sleep, Melatonin & Why Chlorella Works at Night 32:54 Chlorella for Chemotherapy Recovery 36:01 Pricing, Daily Cost & the Discount Code 36:45 Important: Talk to Your Oncologist Before Combining 38:17 Algae for Weight Loss & GLP-1 Support 40:32 Safety, Sourcing & Why ENERGYbits Are Grown in Taiwan 42:20 Catharine's Trip to Taiwan & Why It Matters 43:31 Excess Iron, Menopause & "Rusting From the Inside" 46:07 Final Thoughts & Why Consistency Wins 47:32 Absorption, Exosomes & Why Algae Works So Fast 48:39 Dosage for Kids, Husbands & Pets 49:41 Beauty Bits: The Pink Spirulina for Skin & Hair 51:07 Mary Alice Starts Her Algae Journey Key Takeaways Aging is natural, declining is not Algae is food, not a supplement, so your body recognizes and absorbs it instantly Spirulina nourishes & energizes, chlorella detoxes & repairs You need both algaes for different reasons, especially after 40 Most brain issues trace back to damaged mitochondria Women lose antioxidant and hormone protection twice as fast as men in menopause The right dosage matters more than the right ingredient Consistency beats intensity, your body is not a light switch Most supplements are artificial, your body wastes up to 90% of them Toxins live in your fat, so detoxing is part of any weight loss journey The science exists, the connection between scientists and women is what's missing Mother Nature provided answers long before pharmaceutical companies did What you can't see at the cellular level is often what's hurting you most Guest Bio Dr. Catharine Arnston is the founder and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits, the medical-grade algae company she launched 17 years ago after pivoting from a 25-year international corporate career to research plant-based nutrition for her sister, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her research led her to spirulina and chlorella, two microalgae backed by more than 100,000 scientific studies, and to a mission of bringing clean, hand-sourced algae nutrition to women, families, and elite athletes around the world. Catharine earned her health coaching certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and went on to complete her PhD in her late 60s, becoming one of the most credentialed and outspoken advocates for algae nutrition in the world. Her upcoming book, Love Your Health to Bits with Algae, set for an October release, distills 17 years of research into accessible, "science with sarcasm" guidance for the everyday reader. Catharine lives by the philosophy that "aging is natural, declining is not" and is on a mission to make algae as common in the Western world as it has been in Asia for the past 60 years.
