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.
