“In the Ladies’ Room with Dr. Donnica” is the only public ladies' room you can enter any time without ever waiting on line! Hosted by women’s health expert and media commentator Donnica Moore MD, the podcast will feature real conversations, with real women, about really intimate issues. They may be embarrassing, sad or funny, but they will always be
interesting & informative. You know, like the best conversations you've ever had in ladies' rooms with your best friends. . .or total strangers. . .and a physician!

With a wide variety of guests with “been there, done that” expertise, Dr. Donnica discusses the health and wellness topics women often talk with her about in the ladies’ room. . . after speaking engagements, media
briefings, at events, or just because they happen to be chatting anonymously while waiting on line or over the sink. Generally, these topics tend to be things that are embarrassing; issues Dr. Donnica calls “the Toilet Talk topics” (anything related to bowel or bladder issues, gas, bodily functions, periods, discharges, etc.); questions related to sex and intimacy; subjects women are uncomfortable discussing in public or in “mixed company”; challenges women are struggling with; or anything top of mind or in the news. In each topic, we add our Top Tips about that topic as well as a call to action.

Heat and humidity can wreak havoc on your skin – particularly if you are one of the 16 million people with rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin condition that’s plagued by facial redness, acne-like breakouts, and sensitive skin with burning or itching.

With me today is Dr. Ava Shamban, a leading board-certified dermatologist, who is going to debunk common skincare myths, provide need-to-know tips to maintain clear skin in warmer weather, and provide further information about the symptoms, triggers, treatments for rosacea.  She understands the close link between appearance and self-esteem, and dedicates herself to helping patients of all ages improve their skin to live happier lives.  She loves to say ““Life happens but it doesn’t have to show on your skin.”
