    402. Feeling Broken? UTI’s, Low Libido & Prolapse with Dr. Kelly Casperson

    A lot of the changes that happen during midlife and menopause are widely discussed online and on social media - weight struggles, bone density issues, nutritional needs, hot flashes, belly fat, and hormonal shifts to name a few. But what about the challenges nobody talks about? Many women in midlife begin dealing with a bunch of “somewhat embarrassing” issues that can make them feel like their body is just not working properly anymore. Urinary tract infections, prolapse, low libido and other challenges with intimacy, can be really discouraging and impact quality of life. And they just aren’t talked about, so how do you know what to do? That’s where Dr. Kelly Casperson comes in! She’s a urologic surgeon and the author “You Are Not Broken”, as well as the host of the podcast by the same name. In this conversation, we’ll discuss: the pervasive feeling of 'brokenness' women often feel regarding their sexual and pelvic health the impact of societal norms on women's sexuality the significance of pelvic health in midlife the role of hormones in women's health and the often-overlooked condition of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). If you’re needing encouragement to seek help and advocate for your pelvic health, this is it!

    Midlife can feel like a roller coaster. One day everything is going swimmingly - you feel good, loose and pain-free. And then you wake up the next day and BAM! Joint pain you’ve never had before. What is going on?! Listener Angela experienced the same thing: “I recently turned 48 and I feel like my joints are suddenly hurting all the time. I don’t feel like I’m doing anything different, and I refuse to believe that this is just part of getting older and there’s nothing I can do about it. So can you help explain why this might be going on and some options to help relieve this joint pain? I’m feeling it mostly in my wrists and my knees.” If you’re wrestling with the sudden onslaught of joint pain or you’re hoping to prevent it, then this quick episode is for you. We’ll talk about the reason joint pain flares up in midlife, and the action steps you can take NOW through movement and nutrition to help prevent it from slowing you down. 💥Taking listener questions!!!
