Crazy Stupid Midlife

Welcome to Women's Health with OB/GYN Dr. Sara Mckinney (Part 1)

Renee & Dannielle Episode 11

Are you feeling off, overwhelmed, or just… not like yourself? You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not crazy.

In this episode of Welcome to Women's Health, Dr. Sara McKinney gets real about the symptoms so many women experience but few doctors talk about: mood swings, low sex drive, sleep issues, brain fog, and hormone shifts tied to perimenopause and menopause. She shares what most OB/GYNs are missing in these conversations — and what you should be asking for in your own care.

Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, this episode will help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take control of your health.

Below you’ll find a link to Dr. McKinney's profile at UCSD Health and links to some of the memoirs and recommendations she mentioned during our conversation so you can explore further or follow up on anything that resonated with you.
