All About You With Dr Shauna Watts

In this week’s bite-size episode, we’re coming to you live from Dr Shauna’s recent event: SHE THRIVES. This snippet is from Dr Alison Mooney, a Scottish born GP specialising in menopause care and management. Dr Alison unpacks bone health during the perimenopause, and in particular how you can prevent developing osteoporosis. It’s estimated that 1 in every 2 women over 50 worldwide will develop osteoporosis (if they are not on Hormone Replacement Therapy). But the good news - osteoporosis is 100% preventable!

This week’s episode is a big one! Dr Shauna is joined by the incredible Dr Kelly Casperson - a leading and internationally recognised advocate for women’s sexual health. Based in the US, Dr Kelly is a board certified urologist, author, speaker, podcast host and sex expert, with a passion to empower women to live their best love lives. In her work as a urologist, Dr Kelly found the differences between treating male and female patients profound - when men had issues with sex, prescribing testosterone or viagra was encouraged and common, but when women lost libido during the perimenopause or were experiencing symptoms like vaginal dryness, they weren’t taken seriously. In this conversation, Dr Shauna and Dr Kelly are talking all things sex during midlife. Why do some women find sex painful during menopause, and what can be done about it? How uncomfortable is vaginal dryness, really? What role does HRT play? And what can you do to improve your sex life during this transitional period? Loved this episode?
