About this episode
In episode 301 of the You're Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson discusses 15 things she wishes would change in women's health, focusing on hormonal health, the healthcare system, sexual health, and education. She emphasizes the importance of choice regarding hormone therapy after breast cancer, the need for better sex education, and the challenges posed by the current healthcare system. Dr. Casperson also shares her aspirations for future clinics and the importance of addressing orgasmic inequality and healthcare costs. Takeaways Hormones after breast cancer should be a choice. There is a need for FDA-approved female-dosed testosterone products. Healthcare costs are a significant barrier to accessing care. Sex education in the U.S. is inadequate and needs reform. Orgasmic inequality is prevalent, particularly in heterosexual relationships. Vaginal estrogen is safe and should not carry a cancer warning. Healthcare providers need better work-life balance to prevent burnout. Education is key to improving sexual health and understanding. The healthcare system should prioritize patient care over profits. Future clinics are needed to support women's health and hormonal optimization.
