Summary

"Most women think it's their problem, their flaw, that they need to be better or different. But no, you're not broken. You just didn't get an education." — Dr. Kelly Casperson I was blown away by my conversation with Dr. Kelly Casperson, a board-certified urologic surgeon who's on a passionate mission to educate women about their bodies, hormones, and sexuality. As one of the rare female urologists who specializes in menopause and sexual medicine, Kelly opened my eyes to how dramatically our society has failed women when it comes to education about our bodies. We dove deep into the truth about testosterone for women (yes, we need it!), the life-changing benefits of vaginal estrogen that no one talks about, and why "responsive desire" is completely normal. Kelly brilliantly reframes hormones as "neuro hormones" rather than just "sex hormones," revealing how essential they are for brain health, bone strength, and overall well-being. Her approach combines medical expertise with a refreshing emphasis on empowerment – giving women the knowledge to advocate for what they need during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. What you’ll learn: Why responsive sexual desire is completely normal for women (and why spontaneous desire is often a myth) How testosterone affects women's health and wellbeing beyond just libido The surprising benefits of vaginal estrogen that doctors rarely discuss Why the way we label hormones as "sex hormones" rather than "neuro hormones" impacts treatment How menopause affects everything from bone density to brain health The importance of prioritizing intimacy in relationships and practical ways to do it Why women need to be educated and empowered about their hormones to make informed choices Love the Podcast?
