Trauma, Lost Desire, and ART: A Breakthrough Therapy with Brooke Bralove
Most people who walk into therapy already know what happened to them — they can name it, trace it, explain it — and still feel stuck. That's because trauma isn't a knowledge problem. It's a nervous system problem. Therapist Brooke Bralove joins Dr. Rahman to talk about Accelerated Resolution Therapy, why lost desire is often a symptom of survival mode, and what it actually means to heal.
Understanding Orgasms: Science, Solutions, and Why Doctors Don't Ask with Dr. Lauren Streicher
70% of OB-GYNs never ask patients about orgasm. And when women finally bring it up themselves, the answer is usually "this just happens when you age." Dr. Lauren Streicher — sexual medicine specialist — joins Dr. Rahman to explain what's actually happening, what's actually causing it, and what actually works.
Pelvic Venous Disorders, Chronic Pain, and the Pelvic Floor with Dr. Julie Baron
For years, Dr. Julie Baron — a pelvic floor physical therapist — couldn't sit or stand for more than 10 minutes without needing to lie down. She saw urologists, gynecologists, GI docs, and colorectal specialists. Everyone told her she was normal. She finally diagnosed herself, pushed for her own imaging, and found 12-millimeter varicose veins across her uterus. This episode is for every woman who has been told her chronic pelvic pain is just part of life.
Labiaplasty, Anatomy, Overdoing It, Traveling for Surgery & Prevention with Dr. Dahlia Rice
What's actually normal when it comes to labial anatomy — and what happens when surgery goes too far? Dr. Dahlia Rice joins Dr. Rahman for an honest conversation about labiaplasty: who it's for, who it isn't, the risks of overdoing it, and why traveling abroad for the procedure deserves serious thought before you book.
Fertility Myths, Egg Freezing, and The Lucky Egg with Dr. Lucky Sekhon
Is 35 really a fertility cliff? Should everyone freeze their eggs? Dr. Lucky Sekhon — double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and author of The Lucky Egg — joins Dr. Rahman to give the actual numbers most fertility doctors won't say out loud, and explain why vague answers from your doctor are a red flag.
How We Treat Pelvic Pain, Painful Sex, and Sexual Dysfunction
Insurance gives you ten minutes for pelvic pain, painful sex, and sexual dysfunction. That's not care — that's a timer. Dr. Rahman sits down with her nurse practitioner and pelvic floor PT to explain what comprehensive sexual health care actually looks like, and why she left insurance behind to deliver it.
Functional Strength Training, Nutrition, and Midlife Reset with Katalin Rodriguez-Ogren
Her doctor offered marriage counseling when her menopause symptoms got severe. So Katalin Rodriguez Ogren — 25-year owner of Chicago's POW Gym and a lifelong martial artist — wrote a book instead. Dr. Rahman and Katalin get into protein, estrogen, and why midlife is a metabolic reset if you know what to do with it.
