    Fantastic podcast
    I have learned SO much from Heather Hirsch, and feel I can navigate HRT with more knowledge and understanding. [Also, just to say (re: episode 200) I don't think you need an editor. :) I like your free flow.]

    Amazing
    Thank God for this woman!!!
  • FriendsForever84
    Thankful for Dr. Heather’s Show!
    Dr. Heather’s podcast really offers the best information and options for discussions on menopause. OB-GYNs just doesn’t take the time (or have the time) to explain “this stage of life!” I’ve recommended the show to many others. 🤙 This is all you need to know and then, go talk to a doctor (like Heather or Heather’s Team!!!) and see how HRT will help you live better and longer!

    Fabulous podcast!
    I have followed Dr. Hirsch for a few years and learned so much. Lots of helpful information for those of us experiencing or even preparing for peri menopause and menopause. I am so thankful for her and the expertise she shares! I feel educated and empowered to make life changing choices to manage my personal menopause. We appreciate you Dr. Hirsch! ❤️

    Wanting my life back
    I have been having perimenopausal symptoms for a couple years I believe but didn’t know that’s what they were until I spoke to a friend that went to a NAMS provider and got on HRT and she told me about Dr Heather and her podcast. Wonderful eye opener and I have an appt scheduled for October with a NAMS provider that I am praying will listen to me and help me! Us women do not have to suffer!! Thanks for your great and insightful podcast and all your care really shows!

    Love Dr. Hirsch!
    I’ve been listening for awhile, luv your podcasts. So much useful information that I use regularly in my practice and for myself!

    Shocked & saddened
    Found Dr Heather & felt so blessed to have such an amazing resource until the afternoon I was listening to her interview with Rochelle Weitzner when out of nowhere, Dr Heather unprompted by Ms Weitzner, makes a sneering passive aggressive shrouded comment about a particular demographic. She’s certainly entitled to free speech even if it’s hateful but she should let her patients know she doesn’t view everyone the same. If I’ve misunderstood her tone, maybe it’s a reminder to return to medicine without discussion of religion or judgment of one’s core values. Sad part is, I don’t think she is even aware of it.

    Love all the info!!
    I experienced early menopause and I am loving this podcast! So much informative and detailed information that has helped me greatly. Thank you!!

    Start listening now!
    I am so grateful that I found this podcast, I’ve binged three years of podcasts into about three months. Heather is very kind, and is very excited to share her knowledge with us. I’ve been struggling with perimenopause, and after learning from her, I was able to find a physician who is NAMS certified and we have a plan moving forward. I feel like I would have been set back without Heather helping me throughout this whole thing through her podcasts. She is a wealth of knowledge and information and she is there for us. It’s an exciting time to be a woman in her Perimenopausal/menopausal years because of people like Heather who are advocating so strongly for us.

    Such important information!
    This podcast provides women with invaluable, evidence-based information that is unfortunately very hard to find otherwise. If you are 40+, this podcast is a must listen!

  • L Anne2981
    A wonderful source of information for a midlife women
    This is a fabulous podcast! Not only does Dr. Hirsch provide relevant information for midlife women trying to navigate perimenopause and menopause, she gives very specific information that we can take to our own doctor to help guide the journey. She is also easy to listen to and down to earth. Thank you Dr. Hirsch!
  • Nastia006
    Amazing for patients and physicians
    I am a primary care doc and found wealth of information here. I sent my patients here all the time to get more information because health care 15 min appointments are not set up for detailed discussions. Highly recommend. Thank you!
  • Ak forty niner
    Best for women’s health!!
    Really informative and interesting. Always learning something from Dr. Hirsch. Super easy to listen to!
  • pickle1974!!!!
    Episodes mislabeled & off topic
    I’ve tried to contact the creator on instragram (DM, comments on stories, comments on posts) because the episodes titles don’t line up with what is actually in the episode. I think she would want to fix that. I’m a paid subscriber because I want to hear the episode on migraines and can’t get it even with subscription. The episodes I have heard go off topic. Personally I am disappointed in my subscription.

    Let’s Evolve!
    THE BEST podcast and resource I’ve found for menopause. I am a midwife and became more educated and empathetic after- surprise surprise- I hit menopause myself. Unfortunately I relied on my “impression” of HRT vs the data on HRT and never prescribed (or asked about varied symptoms). Thank you thank you thank you Heather!!!! I am a much better clinician because of this podcast.
  • Gustavo & Lisi
    Fantastic podcast dedicated to women specially in midlife
    I’m physician specialized in menopause myself and I love Heather Hirsh’s podcast. I’m always learning and amazed with her knowledge and experience and more than this…. She really cares about us patients, women’s health workers and every women that wants to learn more about her health. Love U Heather! Keep recording this great show for us!
  • Parteraross
    Excellent and informative!
    I am a nurse midwife and have learned so much from this podcast. I love that Heather presents the information at a level that is helpful for clinicians and accessible to patients. I have shared it with numerous patients and friends. Thank you and keep up the good work!
  • donnak26
    Very informative
    Thank you for taking the time to put out this detailed information on menopause. It can be life changing for many women and unfortunately a lot of doctors do not address it or are not educated on t. I have been educating my doctor & friends from your expertise. “)

    One Podcast to the Next!
    I recently started a podcast called Dietitians Dish. I often recommend listening to our podcast followed by yours for the perfect blend of women’s wellness! A co worker told me about this podcast and I’ve binged all episodes since that time. Thank you for what you are doing on this platform. The information is missing from everywhere else. BTW, come back Ohio, we need you!!
  • aacolemann
    Best information from extremely knowledgeable doctor
    I love this podcast!!!! Not only is it knowledge that we all need and deserve to know, but it is delivered in a fun and easy to understand way. Thank you so very much for all the information. We women need to stick together and we should know how our bodies work and how to stay healthy throughout our whole lives.
  • baker’sjoy
    Great info from a kind heart
    Since it seems like most of us struggle to be heard by our health care providers, whether they’re male or female, this is a must listen. I discovered Dr. Hirsch on Instagram, and I’m so grateful. She provides helpful information on subject that has been ignored and dismissed for forever. She’s easy to listen to, a friendly and compassionate voice that’s desperately needed.
  • ellie17163
    Great podcast!
    Dr. Hirsch is extremely intelligent, seems very genuine, and explains complicated women’s health concepts in an easy-to-understand fashion. I am 21, and thus much of what she discusses does not directly apply to me right now, but I find the information fascinating and educational nonetheless. I plan to become a PA and would recommend this podcast to other pre-health students.
  • Casperdaughter
    This Doc is Easy to Listen to!
    Just listed to the UTI talk. She seems approachable and friendly and I wanted to be in that living room talking with the two of them. Mommadocit for more.

    Another former patient that misses her
    I was referred to Dr. Hirsch a couple years before she left OH an am grateful for her podcasts. In my mid 50’s I was overwhelmed by how much I didn’t know about menopause let alone all the women’s health issues that preceded that. Her clear explanations in her podcasts are a must listen as there is never enough time at any office visit. I have recommended Dr. Hirsch’s podcasts to my 20 something daughter and she listens to those relevant to her. I appreciate Dr. Hirsch’s genuineness, honesty and transparency.
  • Helga Schiffbauer
    Great podcast: holistic patient-centered perspective
    Full disclosure- I was lucky to have had Dr Hirsch as my physician/health coach. I miss her! Although I no longer see her at my annual appointments, I still am able to soak up her health education information by listening to her podcasts.
  • LBK1976
    Helpful and straightforward
    Dr. Hirsch shares helpful information in a straightforward manner. I wish there were more doctors like Dr. Hirsch.
  • Kellyorn
