Our new paper in Lancet Obstet Gynaecology and Women’s Health reveals 25% of women aged 40-69 have a sexual dysfunction, the most common being desire, arousal and sexual self-image dysfunction.

We also found that the proportion of women affected in early perimenopause is double that of premenopause.

Misinforming women is misogyny

Questioning and calling out people who spread questionable content and misinformation is not being mean, it’s FACT CHECKING.

People have the choice to respond with the data. I, for one, would be very interested to see the HUMAN studies that show menopause hormone therapy stops the brain from eating itself.

I think that falling back on “women should support women” is insulting, because to me that means a women’s right to facts about her body are secondary. That protecting someone who didn’t have the data to back up their claims is more important.

And hey, if the data exists and none of us can find it, why not show it to us? It should be easy to produce, right?

any thanks to the New York Times and brilliant journalist Ashwin Rodrigues for featuring me in this important piece on the risks of supplement overuse and the culture that fuels it, alongside my brilliant colleague

When the New York Times reached out, I was thrilled that Ashwin wanted to include real patient stories (privacy protected, of course). So often, our discussions about evidence-based medicine on social media focus on data, research, statistics and confidence intervals, and of course guidelines, all essential… but through Ashwin’s dynamic storytelling, this piece brings the human side of science to life.

I’m grateful to contribute to a conversation that helps people navigate health misinformation with clarity, empathy, and evidence.

We know that supplements when used outside of deficiency or guideline indication (ie folic acid in women of childbearing age, B12 for those who are plant based, vitamin D for individuals in certain regions, to name a few) do not lead to any benefit, and can have significant harm. If a supplement truly delivered the benefits its promoters claim, it wouldn’t be sitting in an influencer’s link in bio - it would be in the clinical guidelines. And that’s the point. The wellness economy thrives not on rigorous evidence, but on aspiration and fear, turning unproven hope into a business model far more profitable than proof ever could be.

Mike Johnson, keep pregnant women out of you f*cking mouth. How dare you!

Inappropriately focusing on undocumented people is a distraction. The 1% affecting your access to medical care are the billionaires not paying their taxes! Dr jennifer gunter

Raw, real, and inspiring.

OB/GYN and bestselling author opened up about what truly motivated her to step into the world of science communication.

In a time when misinformation spreads faster than facts, we need leaders like Dr. Gunter – voices we can trust, rally behind, and celebrate.

Congratulations again on your King Charles III Coronation Medal 👏 Well deserved.

Thank you for nominating me for a King Charles III Coronation medal. What an honor. To receive this award alongside so many incredible Canadians dedicated to science and science communication is incredibly meaningful to me.

Now more than ever it is important to seek out those who understand the importance of the scientific method and finds ways to advance the cause. We can all contribute in so many ways.

I admit, I’ve felt a little “What is the fu***ng point?” lately. The President, RFK Jr, and Makary are decimating science and the supplement shills have taken notice. The MAHA environment is conducive to the illusion of science and social media is designed to spread fear and lies and outrage faster than the truth. And this contagion easily spreads beyond the United States.

I am happy to report that being around a group of people who are as passionate about science and communicating it to the public helped to fill my tank! So many great ideas were shared. I feel invigorated to think more strategically and creatively. And even to think bigger.

Thank you again and to Canada for this award. I am so very honored and invigorated!

And here’s one way we can all make a difference starting now. Before you share something on social media, pause and fact check it. If it’s worth sharing it’s worth the 5 minutes to fact check. Chaos is a tool for fascism and when the truth and lies are indistinguishable it only helps the lies! Dr jennifer gunter

It’s great to have a tightening of the advertising regulations for Pharma. Can we have some of that attention to supplements?????

Those who sells supplements use all of these same tactics. If protecting the consumer matters here for Pharma, who doesn’t also matter with supplements? Doesn’t the public deserve transparency and a commitment Ho truth for all the products they use for health?

And when is the last time you saw an ad or content for a supplement that mentioned the side effects or risks?

How do we define heavy periods?

Here are some tips to help you evaluate your own flow.

Heavy periods can be a sign of many things, from bleeding disorders, to fibroids, to endometriosis and more. It’s important to be evaluated so you can get the right therapy.

Also heavy bleeding is a very common cause of iron deficiency, which feels to me like an epidemic. I diagnose it at least 3-4 times a day.

Heavy bleeding is more common at the menstrual bookends, so in the first few years after the first period and during the menopause transition/perimenopause. It can cause many symptoms that are typically associated with menopause, such as brain fog and hair loss and can be a factor in restless leg syndrome.
