The Future of Men's and Women's Health: Testosterone, Public Policy, and Preventative Care What if the hormone most associated with men's health is also one of the most underutilized tools in women's medicine — and the biggest barrier isn't science, it's politics? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Helen Bernie urologist and tireless advocate for hormone health reform, to unpack why testosterone remains one of the most misunderstood, over-regulated, and under-prescribed interventions in modern medicine. We go deep on the FDA, the data, and what it's actually going to take to change the system. We cover: Why low testosterone should be part of routine health screening — for everyone The real links between testosterone deficiency and early mortality, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease How erectile dysfunction is a cardiovascular biomarker hiding in plain sight The policy history that turned a hormone into a controlled substance — and what it's costing us Why women are still being left out of the testosterone conversation Peyronie's disease: what it is, how to prevent it, and what treatment actually looks like How combining hormone therapy with GLP-1s and lifestyle changes can reverse metabolic disease The dangers of unregulated men's health clinics — and what evidence-based care looks like instead New research on testosterone administration routes and clot risk Why healthy hormones aren't just personal — they're a public health issue This is the conversation medicine has been too uncomfortable to have. We're having it anyway.

This week on You Are Not Broken, I sit down with breast oncologist and historian Dr. Elizabeth Comen to talk about her powerful book All in Her Head and the long, complicated history of how women’s health has been misunderstood, minimized, and medicalized. If you’ve ever been told your symptoms are anxiety… stress… hormones… or just part of being a woman — this episode is for you. We explore the historical roots of dismissal in women’s healthcare and how those patterns still show up today, especially in cancer care. Dr. Comen walks us through how breast cancer treatment has evolved, what we’ve gotten right, what we’ve gotten wrong, and why quality of life must be part of the conversation — not an afterthought. We also talk about: Why women’s pain has historically been labeled “hysteria” How medical bias still affects diagnosis and treatment The real tension between longevity and quality of life Hormonal therapies in breast cancer — and how nuance gets lost Why advocacy matters more than ever The double-edged sword of social media and AI in health information How understanding medical history helps us build better medicine today This episode isn’t about blaming the past. It’s about understanding it — so we stop repeating it. Because when women are dismissed, care suffers. And when women are informed, everything changes. If you care about evidence-based medicine, health equity, and empowering women with real information — this is a must-listen.

This week I sit down with Autumn Calabrese to talk about fitness, mindset, and stress management—especially as they relate to women in midlife. We explore how hormonal changes can affect energy, recovery, motivation, and overall health, and why many women find that the fitness strategies that once worked no longer feel effective or sustainable. We also discuss how women’s fitness culture has evolved over time, shifting away from extremes and toward a more balanced, realistic approach that prioritizes consistency over perfection. This episode highlights why managing stress is just as important as working out, and how nutrition, quality sleep, and community support play foundational roles in long-term wellness. At its core, this conversation is an invitation to reframe fitness as a tool for resilience, strength, and vitality—not punishment—and to encourage women to embrace change, stay consistent, and prioritize their health through every season of midlife. Fitness helps support warmth, energy, and resilience, especially during winter Mindset is a major driver of sustainable fitness and health habits Stress management is essential for overall health in midlife Hormonal changes can significantly impact women’s physical and mental well-being Fitness culture is evolving toward balance rather than extremes Consistency in workouts leads to better long-term health outcomes Nutrition is a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle Quality sleep is critical for recovery and overall well-being Embracing change can transform the midlife experience Community and accountability enhance motivation and long-term commitment Autumn's IG BODI platform To my fellow clinicians: listen to the You Are Not Broken podcast on ⁠⁠⁠Pinnacle's network to earn FREE CME credit⁠⁠⁠ Listen to my Tedx Talk: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Why we need adult sex ed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take my Adult Sex Ed Master Class:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interested in my sexual health and hormone clinic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Waitlist is open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Thanks to our sponsor ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Midi Women's Health⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken, Dr. Kelly Casperson is joined by Joanna Strober, CEO of MIDI Health, for a direct and hopeful conversation about menopause care, hormone therapy, and what women actually need from the healthcare system. Joanna shares the story behind building MIDI Health and why access, education, and properly trained providers are essential to closing the massive gaps in menopause care. Despite the data, only a small fraction of eligible women are receiving hormone therapy—leaving millions undertreated, dismissed, or told to simply “push through.” This episode tackles outdated narratives around menopause, reframes hormones as foundational to long-term health and longevity, and makes a strong case for advocacy—by clinicians, companies, and women themselves. How MIDI Health is delivering hormone therapy to 25,000 women each week Why only ~5% of women over 40 are currently using hormone therapy The critical need for education and training in menopause care How hormone therapy can help prevent downstream health issues Why menopause care doesn’t end when periods stop What’s broken in women’s healthcare—and how to fix it Real patient success stories that show what’s possible The role of hormones in longevity, vitality, and overall health Why advocacy is essential for meaningful change MIDI Health’s vision to become a trusted, national brand for women’s health Menopause is not the end of care—it’s the beginning of a new phase that deserves attention, education, and evidence-based treatment. Hormone therapy isn’t about vanity or “anti-aging”; it’s about giving women access to the healthcare they’ve always deserved.

This is the audio from an amazing webinar I did with Alloy Health. I was so fortunate to be interviewed by their community leader, Rachel Hughes. What I’m seeing clearly is that Gen X is leading the menopause conversation — we’re asking better questions, demanding better answers, and refusing to be dismissed. At the same time, Millennials are shifting the focus toward prevention, not just treating disease after it shows up. That mindset matters, and it’s changing healthcare. I talk a lot about why self-care isn’t indulgent — it’s essential if you want to thrive in midlife and beyond. That starts with education. You cannot make informed decisions about your body if no one ever taught you how hormones actually work. Hormones are not just reactive tools — they can be preventative, supporting long-term health when used thoughtfully and appropriately. Progesterone and testosterone play real, meaningful roles in women’s health, and vaginal estrogen is both safe and incredibly effective for many women — despite how rarely it’s discussed. We also have to talk about sex. Communication is foundational to a fulfilling sex life in midlife, and silence only benefits outdated narratives, not women. The bottom line? You have more control over your health than you’ve been led to believe. Empowerment doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from understanding your body and advocating for yourself in a system that often won’t do it for you.

I just wrapped 6 years of podcasting!!! Episode 350 marks a major milestone for You Are Not Broken: six years, 350 episodes, and a whole lot of growth—personally, professionally, and culturally. In this end-of-year “big winter blowout,” Dr. Kelly Casperson reflects on what 2025 brought, what changed (for better and worse), and why continuing to speak up for women’s health still matters more than ever. From world events that shaped the year to personal health wins (yes, including her first colonoscopy), Dr. Casperson shares an honest recap of the moments that mattered. She celebrates big professional milestones—like opening the Casperson Clinic, publishing her second book, winning a podcast award, and helping remove outdated FDA boxed warnings on hormone therapy—while also naming the frustrations, resistance, and misconceptions that persist. This episode also looks ahead: new courses, retreats, sexual health innovations (including a vibrator!), and the continued expansion of education around hormones, sex, and aging. Anchoring it all is a reminder from Theodore Roosevelt’s Man in the Arena: progress belongs to those willing to show up, be imperfect, and keep going. Six years and 350 episodes of You Are Not Broken A candid end-of-year reflection on 2025 and the state of the world “Baby’s first colonoscopy” and why health screenings matter Travel highlights, including Sydney and the Opera House Publishing a second book and opening the Casperson Clinic Major personal health improvements through strength training and lifestyle changes The book "you are not broken" winning an award and hosting a second annual retreat in Sedona Three separate FDA engagements—and successfully removing outdated boxed warnings on hormone therapy The biggest misconception about FDA changes and how fast (and messy) change can be A frank moment of accountability (and humor) around language and advocacy Updates from the Casperson Clinic, waitlists, and the subscription-based care model Addyi approval for postmenopausal women The future of online education, including upcoming “Summer School” hormone courses Takeaways from male-dominated FDA panels and what they miss What’s next: retreats, documentaries, new courses, and new products The top five most-listened-to You Are Not Broken episodes of 2025 Should I Take Hormones? (Ep. 328) How (and Why) to Prescribe Hormones (Ep. 318) GLP-1s with Dr. Salas-Whalen (Ep. 329) Getting Better at Sex – Part One (Ep. 333) Perimenopause Is Real (Ep. 324) New online courses covering testosterone for women, female sex education, GSM, perimenopause, and hormones for longevity A retreat in Whistler (August 2026 — limited spots remaining) The M Factor 2.0: Before the Pause (premieres expected early 2026) A sex education course with Commune launching in 2026 And yes—building a vibrator Dr. Casperson closes with Theodore Roosevelt’s Man in the Arena, a reminder that meaningful change doesn’t come from critics on the sidelines—it comes from those willing to step into the work, get messy, make mistakes, and keep advocating anyway.
