* Why testosterone is a game-changer for women in perimenopause and menopause





Do you feel dismissed, broken, or completely alone during perimenopause or menopause? You’re not broken—and it’s time we change the narrative.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kelly Casperson—board-certified urologic surgeon, sex educator, and host of the You Are Not Broken podcast—to talk about the truth no one tells women: testosterone is essential for feeling strong, sexy, and energized in midlife.




We dive into:


* Why testosterone is a game-changer for women in perimenopause and menopause

* The truth about libido, desire, and sexual health (beyond the myths)

* How to finally have the right conversation with your doctor about hormone therapy

* Other hormone replacement options that can boost energy and confidence

* Why so many women feel isolated with symptoms like Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause

* Dr. Casperson’s brand-new book The Menopause Moment and her mission to empower women everywhere





This isn’t about “fixing” you—because you’re not broken. It’s about reclaiming your health, confidence, and vitality so you can thrive in midlife and beyond.
