69. You Are Not Broken: The Truth About Women’s Health with Dr. Kelly Casperson

We’re joined by urologist, author, and one of the most unfiltered voices in women’s sexual health, Dr. Kelly Casperson. What started as one patient’s pain became a complete career shift, one that led Dr. Casperson to uncover just how deeply women are underserved, dismissed, and undereducated when it comes to their bodies, especially in midlife and beyond. In this conversation, we get into the systemic gaps in women’s healthcare, from the shocking disparities in how men’s and women’s sexual health are treated to the myths that still surround menopause and hormone therapy. Dr. Casperson breaks down why so many women are told to “wait until it gets worse,” why pleasure is still treated like a luxury instead of a health issue, and how misinformation continues to shape care at every level. We also talk about the emotional toll of feeling “broken,” the cultural conditioning that keeps women from advocating for themselves, and what it actually looks like to reclaim ownership over your body, your health, and your voice.
