Listen Later

Midlfe can be a roller coaster of changes - and none more destabilizing and confusing than the hormone shift that starts happening. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone - what is happening in our bodies, and how in the world do we get control?

Mary asks: “I’m 50 years old and I’m really trying to educate myself on hormones and hormone therapies. I hear a lot about estrogen and progesterone, but the one that confuses me is testosterone. Why would a women need to take testosterone? What are some of the symptoms it can treat?”

In this shortie episode, we bring Dr. Kelly Casperson, a urologic surgeon and the author “You Are Not Broken”, back to the show. Dr. Casperson explains what’s going on hormonally and helps clear up some common hormonal confusion.
