Questions We're Finally Asking—A HERology/Vitals Crossover

What if the questions women have been asking for decades are finally getting answers? 

In this special crossover episode of The Vitals and HERology, Vitals host Leslie Schlachter sits down with Drs. Joanne Stone, Anna Barbieri, and Leslee Shaw to celebrate the opening of Mount Sinai's Carolyn Rowan Center for Women's Health and Wellness—and to explore how it's reshaping women's healthcare. 

From puberty through pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging, the conversation tackles the hormonal transitions that affect every stage of a woman's life. The panel separates fact from fiction on hormone therapy, GLP-1 medications, peptides, compounded drugs, and the flood of wellness advice dominating social media, while explaining why prevention, education, and personalized care matter more than ever. 

Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, 60s—or simply want to better understand women's health—this episode offers practical, evidence-based guidance from leading experts who are changing the conversation.
