  • Summary

  • Empowering women (and the partners who love them) to live their best mid lives. Combining the power of mind-work, body-science and relationships, I joyously smash the societal barriers that are keeping us from living our best intimate lives. Whether you are young or past menopause, single or in a long-term relationship, it is never too late or too early to realize YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. With humor, candor and ease, I break down the stories that we have been told about being sexual beings, to help us play, and normalize our intimacy and health. Nothing in this podcast is personal medical advice, of course.

They also discuss the dangers of defining self-worth by titles and the importance of pursuing passions. The conversation highlights the challenges women face in the healthcare system and the need for women to take control of their own health. Perimenopause and hormone therapy can lead to a journey of self-discovery and awakening. There is a lack of support and education for women's hormonal health, leading to many women not getting the help they need. Hormone therapy can have a significant impact on relationships, requiring couples to navigate changes and redefine their dynamics.

    261. Unlocking Pleasure: Exploring Sexuality & Relationship Dynamics
    Apr 21 2024
    Unlocking Pleasure: Exploring Sexuality & Relationship Dynamics In this episode, Caitlin V. Neal, a sexologist and researcher, discusses her journey into sex education and coaching. She shares her experience working with individuals and couples to improve their sexual performance and pleasure. Caitlin also introduces the concept of the Erotic Blueprints, which categorizes different types of sexual preferences and desires. Additionally, she addresses the common myths and concerns surrounding premature ejaculation and provides insights on how to address this issue. In this conversation, Caitlin V and Dr. Kelly Casperson discuss various topics related to sexuality and relationships. They explore the impact of conditioning on premature ejaculation, the understanding of female squirting, navigating sexual expectations in heterosexual relationships, the invisibility of bisexual women, and the discrimination against non-monogamous relationships. Takeaways Premature ejaculation can be influenced by conditioning and unrealistic expectations placed on men. Female squirting is a normal and natural phenomenon that can be learned and experienced by many individuals. Open and honest communication is essential in navigating sexual expectations and desires in heterosexual relationships. Bisexual women often face invisibility and discrimination due to societal misconceptions and stereotypes. Non-monogamous relationships are often stigmatized and judged, leading to discrimination and lack of acceptance. youtube.com/caitlinv https://www.instagram.com/caitlinvictoriousx https://www.caitlinvneal.com/ FirmTech sponsors this podcast today.

    260. Women and Testosterone
    Apr 14 2024
    260. Women and Testosterone I join Dr. Harper on her “Women’s Power Hour” in the UK on IG live and it was such a good chat she let me have the audio for the podcast. Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Harper discuss the importance of testosterone for women's health, including muscle mass, metabolism, mental health, and the health of the genitourinary tract. They address common questions and misconceptions about testosterone, such as why it isn’t easy to prescribe and the normal ranges for women. They also explore the use of testosterone in the treatment of genetic urinary syndrome of menopause and its potential benefits for breast cancer survivors. The conversation highlights the need for personalized hormone therapy and the importance of considering other factors that may impact libido and overall well-being. Why are there many urologists who are experts in female pelvic health and hormones? There are no “perfect” testosterone levels; we don’t treat it to a level, but rather, there is a range. How Testosterone helps with genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). In perimenopause, sometimes testosterone is the first thing we start for symptoms. Sometimes testosterone supplementation takes several months to have effects. What to do if you don’t feel effects. Dr. Harper shares some tips and tricks. Testosterone is important for women's health, including muscle mass, metabolism, mental health, and the health of the genital, urinary tract. There are misconceptions and challenges surrounding the prescription of testosterone for women, including the lack of a female-licensed product and the off-label use of male testosterone products. Testosterone can be beneficial for women with genetic urinary syndrome of menopause and breast cancer survivors, but individualized treatment and monitoring of hormone levels are important. Hormone therapy should be personalized, and other factors that may impact libido and overall well-being should be considered. Testosterone positively affects brain function and mental clarity, which can greatly improve the quality of life for women. Should we use hormones for preventative health? We make estrogen via the androgen pathway. Reasons that we benefit from testosterone. There is no female-licensed product in either the UK or the USA. https://www.instagram.com/drshahzadiharper/ https://theharperclinic.com/ FirmTech sponsors this podcast today.

Amazing!!! How did I not know these things?

Women’s sexual and mental health education is severely inadequate and sometimes nonexistent. I believe in Dr. Casperson‘s message “You are not broken”. We need to make this go viral!!

She continues to amaze me

A client shared Dr. C's information with me a few months ago. I have only started listening recently. I am 12 yrs post menopause and I struggle with trying to find my libido... it's hidden. I did not know I could see a urologist for this. Now I need to find one in Raleigh to go see.
Thank You!!!
