Postpartum to Perimenopause: Bounce-Back Culture, Body Shame, and Normal Anatomy with Dr. Shieva Ghofrany
About this episode
Dr. Sameena Rahman discusses postpartum to perimenopause issues with Dr. Shieva Ghofrany, focusing on body image and the impact of bounce-back culture.
Welcome to Between Two Labia, a new series filmed in my office in front of my 8-foot vulva. When colleagues come to town, I sit down with them to talk about the things you want to ask but think you shouldn't. These are the conversations I have with friends and colleagues that you wouldn't normally get to listen to. Dr. Shieva Ghofrany is my first guest, and you'll see these episodes pop up from time to time between regular podcast episodes. We discuss the weird limbo between having a baby and hitting perimenopause, why bounce-back culture is toxic, why every vulva and labia looks different (and that's completely normal), and much more. Shieva talks about how going through her own health challenges made her a more empathetic doctor. And of course, we cover the basics: you NEVER and we mean never have to apologize for your body. We don't care how you come for your appointments. Get in Touch with Dr. Shieva Ghofrany Website Instagram Get in Touch with Me: Website Instagram Youtube Substack
