Summary

Dr. Kelly Casperson, urologist and author of "The Menopause Moment," highlights the importance of testosterone in women's health, particularly for mood, motivation, and muscle building, not just libido. She discusses various administration methods (pellets, creams, troches) despite the lack of FDA-approved female testosterone products. Dr. Kelly stresses the need for comprehensive sex education, addressing lifestyle factors, and open communication to optimize testosterone therapy and a healthy sex life, noting that desire isn't the primary factor in fulfillment. She also touches on the health implications of asexuality, emphasizing community and partnership alongside orgasms for longevity.

0:00.0	On this episode of The Resetter Podcast, I am bringing you Dr. Kelly Casperson.
0:09.4	Now, this is a really fun conversation.
0:12.3	I can't wait to see how you all enjoy it and eat it up.
0:16.3	I really wanted to bring a testosterone expert to all of you.
0:20.1	We've talked about the pros and cons of
