In her book, You Are Not Broken, Dr. Kelly Casperson points out the societal myth that sex is just “extra”--something to enjoy while it lasts and accept when it’s gone. I'm excited to welcome Dr. Casperson to the podcast today to discuss the impact of cultural stigmas about women's health and sexuality, and expand on last week’s episode about practical ways women can advocate for themselves when it comes to perimenopause. Here’s what we cover:
The narrow societal definition of who deserves a sex life and the misinformation it has caused
How good girl rules are often reinforced by medical professionals even when it’s not intentional
The female body isn’t a niche–every physician should understand it
Changes in women’s sexuality that can signal perimenopause: arousal, desire, pain, and orgasm
Why one of the biggest menopause myths is that you “get over it” at a certain point
The goal of perimenopause education isn’t perfection–it’s living life at the highest quality possible
I can’t wait for you to listen.
