I want to share this with everybody to be clear… The science is here… Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe to use in pregnancy.

ACOG reaffirms the safety and benefits of acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
More than two decades of research have found no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.

One of my menopause patients asked me about the benefits of probiotics yesterday. Here’s a great explanation. 

🦠✨ Can probiotics help with menopause symptoms? A new July 2025 meta-analysis says… maybe!

📚 39 studies. 3,100+ women. Researchers found probiotics may:
• Ease hot flashes & night sweats
• Support mood, stress & sleep
• Help protect vaginal health
• Boost bone support during estrogen decline
• Even enhance effects of estriol & isoflavones

🧬 Why? Because your gut and vaginal microbiomes help regulate estrogen. The gut’s estrobolome helps recycle estrogen — and when estrogen drops, so do the good bugs.

✨ What to know:
Probiotics aren’t magic, but they’re part of the toolkit.

🥗 You don’t need pills. Eat fermented foods like:
✔️ Yogurt
✔️ Kefir
✔️ Sauerkraut
✔️ Kimchi
✔️ Miso
✔️ Kombucha (in moderation)
✔️ Fermented veggies

🌿 Feed your microbiome with prebiotics (fiber!), too.

💡 Bottom line: A healthy gut and vaginal microbiome won’t solve everything, but they do support your hormone balance, vaginal comfort, and whole-body health — especially during menopause.

A reminder to be careful and do your research before taking supplements, herbs, botanicals, vitamins, meds, etc. Not everything “natural” means it’s good for you.

Katie Mohan started taking daily turmeric pills in March after seeing a doctor on Instagram tout its benefits for inflammation and joint pain relief. A few weeks later, the 57-year-old started having stomach pain, nausea and fatigue.

“I just did not feel well generally,” she said. “I also noticed that despite drinking a lot of water every day, that my urine was darker.”

Mohan didn’t link her symptoms to the herbal pills until she saw an NBC News report in May about rising liver damage from supplements. She recognized her symptoms in a patient taking the same high dose of turmeric.

Within a week, Mohan went to urgent care, where tests showed her liver enzymes were 70 times the normal level.

“It was very serious,” said Dr. Nikolaos Pyrsopoulos, a hepatologist at NYU. “Katie actually was one step before full liver damage, liver failure, requiring liver transplant.”

Menopause takes me everywhere. One week I’m talking to lawyers. The next I’m talking to cardiologists. And for good reason. Helping cardiologists understand more about women’s ovaries is a no-brainer. Here’s some reasons why: ➡️ Menopause increases a woman’s risk of heart disease Our c...

This is vital information that I believe every patient going through perimenopause and menopause should know. It provides the foundation for my guidance on coping with this phase of life and treating menopausal symptoms.

Information is power. But with the lack of above board ethical menopause doctors, the door is wide open for all kinds of ways to take advantage of desperate women. So, I recommend looking at The Menopause Society website to check their resources for information. You deserve safe, reliable, tried and...
