Red or Blue. Left or Right. Listening to the news these days feels like American life exists in a binary. Even public health—a discipline designed to keep populations thriving—is politicized. But here is the truth: Science doesn’t have a political party. On a recent episode of our Love, Mia Vita podcast, we chatted with public […]
Sneeze Freely & Stay Lubricated The last thing we want to do when we’re having a belly laugh is worry about holding in our urine because we might experience bladder leakage. It takes the joy out of letting ourselves live in the moment! Yet, laughing hard or sneezing can easily provoke that feeling of needing
For too long, women have walked into medical appointments only to leave feeling unheard. Fatigue? “Part of aging.” Pain during intimacy? “Normal after menopause.” Brain fog, anxiety, sleepless nights, low libido? “Just hormones.” This is exactly why finding an authentic, science-backed women’s health podcast matters now more than ever. At FemmePharma, our mission has always

These days, we are likely interacting with Large Language Models (LLMs) during our searches. This is because search engines like Google increasingly rely on AI to deliver answers. These AI search
For many women in midlife, wellness can start to feel… complicated. What once worked suddenly doesn’t. Energy dips, focus shifts, sleep becomes unpredictable—and the advice that used to feel manageable now feels impossible to maintain.

We believe women’s health clinical literacy is our ultimate tool for self-advocacy. Between wellness hacks and an increase in “AI slop”—low-quality content that doesn’t rely on clinical accuracy—we find ourselves in a land of information chaos. When you’re going

For many women in perimenopause and menopause, sexually transmitted infections can feel like something firmly in the rearview mirror—part of youth, dating years, or a past chapter of life. But one STI deserves our attention at every age: HPV in menopause is a topic often overlooked, yet human papillomavirus remains a critical health factor for
For many women in perimenopause and menopause, midlife can feel like a quiet turning point. Children may be leaving home, careers may be shifting, relationships may be changing, and your body and emotions may feel unfamiliar. In the midst of all this, it’s surprisingly easy to slip into isolation. Yet one of the most powerful protectors of mental
Thinning hair can feel like one of the most frustrating midlife surprises. One day your ponytail feels full and strong; the next, it seems like you’re shedding more than your cat. The truth is, thinning hair is extremely common for women in perimenopause and menopause—and it’s rarely about just one cause. Hormones shift, stress piles
We are proud to stand with our partner, the Center for Intimacy Justice (CIJ), an organization committed to ensuring that every woman has access to safe, accurate, and dignified care. In a recent interview, CIJ leaders broke down the critical gap between medical ethics and patient reality, revealing why the fight for intimacy justice is
There’s something about the holidays that tugs at your heart—warm lights, familiar faces, nostalgia.
