Summary

Pre Order my book: You Are Not Broken: Stop "Should-ing" All Over Your Sex Life Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Naomi Potter discuss menopause myths and misconceptions, focusing on topics such as vaginal estrogen, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and testosterone. They highlight the importance of educating women about the safety and benefits of these treatments, as well as the need for women to advocate for themselves in healthcare. They also address the cultural stigma around menopause and the natural aging process, emphasizing the role of hormones in maintaining women's health and quality of life. Takeaways Vaginal estrogen is safe and has advantages, including reducing urinary tract infections. HRT is beneficial for women's health, including reducing the risk of heart disease and dementia. Women need to advocate for themselves and seek multiple opinions when it comes to hormone therapy. There is a cultural stigma around menopause and the use of hormones, which limits women's access to beneficial treatments. The healthcare system needs to catch up with the evidence and provide better education and options for women. https://www.instagram.com/dr_naomipotter Thanks to our sponsor Solv Wellness!
