    372. Deprescribing Antidepressants

    In this episode, Kelly interviews Dr. Mark Horowitz, a psychiatrist and author, about the long-term impacts of antidepressants, the challenges of coming off these medications, and the future of deprescribing. This conversation sheds light on why many people remain trapped on these drugs and what can be done to change this reality. Key Topics: The origins of Dr. Horowitz's involvement in deprescribing and his personal experience The widespread use of antidepressants in America and the long-term health risks How withdrawal symptoms can be mistaken for a need to stay on medication The insidious side effects of antidepressants, including weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and increased risk of fractures The lack of long-term studies and regulatory oversight on the effects of antidepressants The importance of informed consent and alternative treatment options How marketing and legal factors influence prescribing habits Strategies for safe tapering and support resources for deprescribing The evolving awareness and cultural shift regarding antidepressant risks Deprescribing book https://markhorowitz.org/ 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 To learn more about Via vaginal moisturizer from Solv Wellness, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠via4her.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and get 20% off your first order.

    367 - Brick House Bones - How to strengthen bones with PT

    In this episode of You Are Not Broken, Dr. Kelly Casperson sits down with physical therapist Dr. Lisa Moore, an expert in bone health, for a conversation that reframes how we think about osteoporosis—from something to fear… to something we can actively influence. If you’ve ever been told to “be careful” or “avoid injury” without being given a clear path forward, this episode is your antidote. Dr. Moore brings clarity, science, and practicality to a topic that is often clouded by confusion and limitation. Why physical therapists are essential to bone health Physical therapists are uniquely trained in the musculoskeletal system—bones, muscles, and joints. Dr. Moore explains how this expertise allows them to guide patients not just in recovery, but in building strength, resilience, and confidence in their bodies. Working with women undergoing breast cancer treatment, Dr. Moore saw firsthand how certain therapies increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Instead of accepting this as inevitable, she pursued deeper education and now empowers women with actionable strategies to protect and rebuild their bone health. Why balance training is non-negotiable Most fractures don’t happen because bones are weak alone—they happen because people fall. Dr. Moore shares why dynamic balance training (not just standing on one foot) is critical, and how practicing real-life movement scenarios can dramatically reduce fall risk. The underrated power of… power training Strength is important—but strength plus speed is what keeps you from falling. Power training helps your body react quickly and effectively, which is essential for maintaining independence and longevity. Why your starting point doesn’t matter as much as you think Dr. Moore emphasizes the principle of initial values: those starting at a lower baseline often see the greatest gains. Translation? It’s never too late to start, and your body is more adaptable than you’ve been led to believe. How to stay active without rigidity (even while traveling) Fitness doesn’t have to mean perfection. Dr. Moore shares how she balances structured workouts with joyful movement like hiking and swimming—reminding us that consistency over time matters more than any single workout. The truth about osteoporosis: it’s not fixed One of the most empowering takeaways—bone health is dynamic. With the right interventions, you can improve bone density, strength, and function. This is not a one-way street.

  4. 359. Fitness Tips and Inspo For Midlife with Alicia Erickson

    359. Fitness Tips and Inspo For Midlife with Alicia Erickson

    This week on You Are Not Broken, I’m joined by the strong, grounded, and refreshingly honest Alicia Erickson for a conversation about midlife reinvention — from hormones to heavy lifting. We talk about the real-life impact of perimenopause (and why projects like The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause matter), Alicia’s decision to get sober at 45, and what happens when women stop shrinking and start building — muscle, boundaries, and belief in themselves. Alicia shares her journey into strength training, progressive overload, and even stepping on a bikini competition stage — not for validation, but for growth. We break down body recomposition (yes, you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time), the critical role of sleep, and how hormone replacement therapy can dramatically shift quality of life in midlife. This is a conversation about doing hard things on purpose. About eating enough. About lifting heavy. About community. About deciding your second half will be stronger than your first. You are not broken. You might just need a barbell. Why perimenopause feels chaotic — and what’s actually happening hormonally Alicia’s sobriety journey and the connection between alcohol, mental health, and midlife Why strength training is non-negotiable for women over 40 Progressive overload explained simply Sleep as the foundation for body composition Hormone replacement therapy and quality of life Body recomposition: burning fat while building muscle Eating more (not less) to support muscle growth The mindset shift from “smaller” to “stronger” The power of community and doing hard things together If this episode resonates, share it with a woman in your life who needs permission to take up space — in the gym, in her body, and in her life. Because midlife isn’t the beginning of decline. It’s the beginning of power. https://www.instagram.com/aliciae/ 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.

    354. Building Companies, Busting Myths, And The Power Of Hormones

    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.

    351. The Perimenopause Revolution

    In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Kelly Casperson and Dr. Mariza Snyder discuss the transformative journey of women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mariza shares her personal experiences with chronic migraines and how they led her to become a functional medicine practitioner focused on women's health. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding hormonal changes, the impact of chronic stress, and the necessity of movement and nutrition in reclaiming health. Dr. Mariza encourages women to envision their future selves and take ownership of their health journeys, while also addressing the societal pressures that contribute to stress and unhealthy habits. Takeaways Dr. Mariza's journey from chiropractic to functional medicine was driven by her own health struggles. Chronic migraines often affect women in perimenopause due to hormonal changes. Empowering women through health can create a multiplier effect in communities. Movement is essential for recovery and overall well-being. Functional health practitioners focus on root causes rather than just symptoms. Women often feel pressured to be busy, which can lead to chronic stress. Adrenal fatigue is not a recognized medical diagnosis, but stress impacts health significantly. Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing health, especially regarding processed sugars. Insulin resistance is a growing concern for women in midlife. Reading and self-education can empower individuals to take control of their health.

    344. BONUS Episode! Historic FDA Label Change!

    THE WORLD IS CHANGING!!! Erasing fear with evidence, science and facts! This conversation delves into the significant impact of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on women's health, particularly in the context of menopause. Dr. Rubin, Casperson and Makary discuss the recent FDA decision to remove black box warnings associated with HRT, which have perpetuated fear and misinformation for decades. They emphasize the importance of educating both clinicians and patients about the benefits and risks of HRT, highlighting the long-term health advantages it offers, such as reducing the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. The discussion also addresses the need for informed consent and the importance of empowering women to make educated decisions about their health. Takeaways 50 to 70 million women have been denied health benefits from HRT. The FDA's removal of black box warnings is monumental. Misconceptions about HRT have persisted for decades. Education is crucial for both clinicians and patients. Hormone therapy can significantly reduce heart disease risk. Women often face barriers in accessing HRT. Informed consent is essential for women's health decisions. Long-term benefits of HRT include reduced risk of osteoporosis. The healthcare system needs to better address women's health issues. A collaborative approach is needed to improve women's health outcomes.
