Ep. 279: Hormones, Menopause & Better Sex in Sobriety: What Every Woman Needs To Know

If your sex drive has gone missing, your body feels like it’s betraying you, or you think that wine is the only thing that can get you through the mood swings, hot flashes, and insomnia of midlife—this episode is for you.

I asked Dr. Kelly Casperson—board-certified urologist, hormone and sex expert, and author of You Are Not Broken: Stop Shoulding All Over Your Sex Life—to break down how perimenopause, hormones, alcohol, and aging all affect our desire, sex lives, and emotional well-being in midlife. Spoiler alert: it’s not just in your head, and there are things you can do about it.

Dr. Kelly is also the host of the You Are Not Broken podcast, and she’s a no-BS, wildly smart voice helping women understand what’s actually going on with their hormones, desire, and bodies. 

In this conversation, we talk honestly about sex in sobriety, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), perimenopause symptoms, and how alcohol is quietly making everything worse.
