About 60% of women in perimenopause report "not feeling like themselves". And it’s more than just mood swings—it's about energy, memory, motivation, passion for life, intimacy, and so much more. 

That’s why in this week’s powerful episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Kelly Casperson to dive into the often-overlooked role of hormones—especially testosterone—in women’s health during perimenopause and beyond.

We’ll talk about midlife hormone changes impacting your romantic life, and why hormone therapy is such an essential (and safe!) conversation for you to have with your doctor. 

If you’re ready to feel passionate about your life again, reclaim your energy, and advocate for your long-term health, this is an episode you cannot miss. Dr. Kelly’s insights are practical and empowering for any woman navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply feeling a little lost in her own body.

Tune in to learn how to be more in tune with your changing body, re-ignite a spark in your love life, and feel overall healthier again in midlife and beyond!

“A big thing about sex– number one and two about sex is you have to feel safe and you have to not be stressed.”

“They're like, ‘so is your goal to get every woman on hormones?’ And I'm like, ‘No. My goal is to educate every single woman so that she can make the right decision if she chooses not to.’”
