680: You Are Not Broken: Why Women Need Testosterone to Feel Strong, Sexy & Energized with Dr. Kelly Casperson

54 minutes

Feeling alone, dismissed, and broken during your perimenopause and menopause transition? Sadly, so many women do.

That’s why in this episode, we’re here to set the record straight. I’m sitting down with women’s health and sexual health expert Dr. Kelly Casperson, and let me tell you, she pulls no punches.

We’re talking the real truth about libido, hormone therapy (especially testosterone for women!), and how to finally have the right conversations with your doctor.

Dr. Casperson also busts myths around Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause and explains why so many of us feel isolated when these symptoms hit out of nowhere.

This episode is full of empowering tools and guidance to help you reclaim your health and confidence. Remember, you don’t have to navigate midlife changes alone!

QUOTES
“Just because you're really good at what you do doesn't mean that's what you should keep doing. And I think that's the power of midlife– it’s this amazing opportunity to wake up.”

“There are days where I'm like, oh man. But, I recalibrate. I reset. And the thing I always tell myself is that tomorrow is another day.”

“A hundred percent of women have low testosterone after a certain age… and only about 20% of men are low producers, [yet] they have 20 [testosterone] products.”
