You Are Not Broken

De: Kelly Casperson MD
  • Resumen

  • 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.

  • 314. High Functioning Depression
    Apr 27 2025
    In this powerful and deeply personal episode of You're Not Broken, Dr. Kelly Casperson is joined by psychiatrist Dr. Judith Joseph to unpack the complex relationship between trauma, high-functioning depression, and the systemic challenges facing both patients and providers in healthcare. Dr. Joseph shares her unique career journey from anesthesiology to psychiatry—a shift fueled by the pursuit of deeper fulfillment and connection. Drawing from her new book High Functioning, she explores how trauma can show up in unexpected ways: perfectionism, strained relationships, and even the culture of medicine itself. Together, Dr. Joseph and Dr. Casperson dive into the mental health crisis within the medical profession, the difference between complex PTSD and traditional PTSD, and why trauma-informed care must become the standard in healthcare. They highlight the need for preventative mental health care and why joy—not just happiness—is vital to healing. Key Takeaways: Dr. Judith Joseph’s new book High Functioning explores hidden depression and the masks people wear. A desire for deeper meaning and purpose sparked her transition from anesthesiology to psychiatry. Trauma can subtly impact daily life, relationships, and career satisfaction. Complex PTSD differs from traditional PTSD and requires a nuanced approach. Perfectionism may be a trauma response rooted in avoidance and fear. Many healthcare professionals operate with unresolved trauma, often unacknowledged and invalidated. The medical system itself can contribute to both patient and provider trauma. High-functioning depression is widespread but often misunderstood or overlooked. Preventative mental health care is crucial—waiting for a crisis is not sustainable. Joy is a core component of mental health, not a luxury or afterthought. Understanding one’s own trauma can make you a more effective and empathetic clinician. Identifying and naming emotions can be profoundly therapeutic. Self-care and setting boundaries are necessary acts of preservation, not selfishness. https://www.instagram.com/drjudithjoseph/ High Functioning Book by Dr. Joseph https://drjudithjoseph.com/ Sedona in October - only five slots left: https://www.ascendretreats.com/menopause-and-sexual-health-2025 Order my book "You Are Not Broken: Stop "Should-ing" All Over You Sex Life" 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?

  • 313. My Microbiome Made Me Do it
    Apr 20 2025
    In this enlightening episode of You’re Not Broken, Dr. Kelly Casperson sits down with Dr. Steven Gundry, renowned cardiothoracic surgeon turned gut health advocate. Dr. Gundry shares the personal and professional journey that led him from the operating room to the forefront of nutritional science. He breaks down the concept of leaky gut and how it contributes to autoimmune diseases, emphasizing how dietary changes can radically transform health outcomes. Together, Dr. Gundry and Dr. Casperson dive into the deep connection between gut health and mental health, the underrated power of vitamin D, and the hidden dangers lurking in our food supply and personal care products. They also tackle the pharmaceutical industry's influence on medical training and why it’s time for a paradigm shift in how we understand disease and wellness. If you've ever wondered how your gut impacts everything from anxiety to skin health—or why your mouthwash might be raising your blood pressure—this episode is for you. Top Takeaways: Dr. Gundry left a thriving surgical career after witnessing remarkable patient healing through nutrition. Leaky gut is a real, measurable condition that drives many autoimmune disorders. Genetics are less impactful than lifestyle, behavior, and environmental factors. Whole food diets can reverse chronic illness and improve quality of life. The gut microbiome plays a central role in immunity, skin health, and brain function. Modern agriculture and personal care products can damage the microbiome. Vitamin D is a foundational nutrient for both gut and mental health. Gut health is deeply tied to emotional states like anxiety and depression. Mouthwash can disrupt the oral microbiome and raise blood pressure. Probiotics and prebiotics are helpful—but only when used with care and intention. We must become more aware of what we eat, apply, and ingest daily. Personalized medicine is the next frontier in optimizing gut health. https://www.instagram.com/drstevengundry/ The Gut Brain Paradox - Releases April 15th https://gundrymd.com/ Sedona in October - only three slots left: https://www.ascendretreats.com/menopause-and-sexual-health-2025 Order my book "You Are Not Broken: Stop "Should-ing" All Over You Sex Life" 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?

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!!!
