Manage episode 442822558 series 3433471
Join us for this podcast episode as Host Holly Thacker, MD tackles the often-ignored issue of midlife sleep disturbances in women with guest James Simon, MD, a leading expert in women's health.
Stress and anxiety can wreak havoc on sleep quality, but stabilizing hormone levels may offer some relief. From effective bladder habits to the novel idea of a "sleep divorce," they cover a range of strategies to improve sleep.
Dr. Thacker and Dr. Simon guide us through how to improve sleep during the menopausal transition, including non-medication approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, melatonin and magnesium. They also highlight good sleep hygiene practices and the careful use of prescription medications.
*As of September 2024, the FDA has updated the prescribing information for Veozah (fezolinetant) to include new guidelines for liver function testing:
- Before starting Veozah: Healthcare professionals should perform a baseline liver function test.
- During the first three months: Patients should have their liver function tested every month.
- After the first three months: Patients should have their liver function tested at months 6 and 9.
- If liver function tests are elevated: Patients should stop taking Veozah immediately and contact their healthcare provider.
