Solving the Testosterone Mysteries with Dr. Kelly Casperson

Dr. Kelly Casperson, urologist and author of "The Menopause Moment," highlights the importance of testosterone in women's health, particularly for mood, motivation, and muscle building, not just libido. She discusses various administration methods (pellets, creams, troches) despite the lack of FDA-approved female testosterone products. Dr. Kelly stresses the need for comprehensive sex education, addressing lifestyle factors, and open communication to optimize testosterone therapy and a healthy sex life, noting that desire isn't the primary factor in fulfillment. She also touches on the health implications of asexuality, emphasizing community and partnership alongside orgasms for longevity.
