Summary
Has your doctor dismissed those midlife symptoms as “just part of aging”? What if those migraines, that frustrating brain fog, and your vanishing sex drive were something you can actually fix?
Meet Dr. Kelly Casperson, a pioneering urologist who's challenging everything we thought we knew about hormones -- like did you know testosterone isn't JUST for men?! In fact, it might explain why you're not feeling like yourself lately...
Testosterone plays a vital role in various aspects of women's health: from brain function, to energy levels, to overall mood - including libido.
From the importance of testosterone for women, bioidentical and synthetic hormones (including birth control), to overall quality of life - Dr. Casperson breaks down what you need to know about taking control of your hormonal health as we age.

| 0:00.0 | You know, women will say, like, I can think faster. I'm more curious about the world. I'm asking more questions. I feel like myself again, which is a huge one. These are things that are ultimately very difficult to study in a lab. How do you study? I feel more like myself. But I would argue that that is the most important thing. |
| 0:20.0 | Hi, I want to welcome you to Midlife Conversations. I'm |
| 0:22.7 | Natalie Jill, your host, and I help Midlife Women redefine and rebrand aging. On this podcast, |

| 0:33.9 | to us now and breaking it all down simply with actionable steps that you can |
| 0:38.5 | implement to level up your life because your best years are yet to come. I also regularly |

| 1:12.4 | our friends about it, our family members, when we're in midlife, a lot of times we're told |
| 1:16.7 | that we either need to tough it up, it's just age, accept it, or we're told to go on things |
| 1:22.8 | like antidepressants or synthetic birth control pills. Well, today I want to dive a little bit more into this, |
| 1:29.1 | a lot more into it actually, talking about hormones specifically testosterone and a lot of other |
| 1:34.5 | questions I want to ask her today. I've got Dr. Kelly Casperson here today. And I really want to talk |
| 1:40.1 | with her about this because she is a fascinating MD. If you at all are on Instagram, |
| 1:45.2 | you've probably seen her there. She's got some great informative videos. But as she just shared |
| 1:49.3 | with me before I pressed record, it's really hard to get things across in a minute or a minute |
