This week is a "game" changer episode. For those who watched the Super Bowl, you may have noticed a commercial asking women what is "VMS"? None could answer but the commercial was actually promoting awareness for vasomotor symptoms (a/k/a hot flashes and night sweats).
Astellas Pharmaceuticals paid for this advertisement because it has a non- hormonal medication currently in Phase 3 trials with the FDA. The medication is called Fezolinetant and is a neuron inhibitor that will hopefully improve menopausal symptoms for women with moderate to severe hot flashes.
Our guest this week is Dr. Nanette Santoro, a professor and E. Stewart Taylor Chair of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a reproductive endocrinologist specializing in menopause. Dr. Santoro is also on the Board of Review for Astellas and has written several research papers on this new medication.
She explains what benefits fezolinetant will offer as a non-hormonal options for moderate to severe hot flashes, how it works and if approved by the FDA, how long will it take to get to market.

DId you know that 75% of adult ADHD goes undiagnosed? On this week's episode, we are discussing ADHD in adult females (and yes, that includes menopausal women).
Our guest is Dr. Zoe Martinez, a Board Certified Psychiatrist who specializes in children and adult ADHD and she is also a clinician at Done Mental Health Services. Done offers online services to diagnose and treat ADHD.
Women are 50% less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. Many women chalk symptoms up to hormones or a busy schedule but if you have trouble focusing, prioritizing facts or remembering appointments and schedules, it may be more.
Dr. Martinez discusses options for treatments that are available and range from medication to lifestyle changes. Learn more about adult AHDH this week on Hot Flashes & Cool Topics.
