You Are Not Broken
Kelly Casperson, MD
Empowering women (and the partners who love them) to live their best mid lives. Combining the power of mind-work, body-science and relationships, I joyously smash the societal barriers that are keeping us from living our best intimate lives. Whether you are young or past menopause, single or in a long-term relationship, it is never too late or too early to realize YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. With humor, candor and ease, I break down the stories that we have been told about being sexual beings, to help us play, and normalize our intimacy and health. Nothing in this podcast is personal medical advice, of course.

Optimal Sex - Learn From the Pros
Today I report on a paper that interviewed individuals with great sex lives. Yes, surprise, they tended to be older! Older and wiser!
Dr. Kleinplatz is the lead author on this 2009 paper and I run through their six-ish top traits that people with optimized sex lives share. Hint - good sex is not just the absence of dysfunction. AND - NONE of it was "I have a spontaneous sex drive"! This is good news for all of us!

YANB Bonus Content! - Dr. Kelly's Webinar to the MS Society
I have too much content so I need to start releasing more than once a week! Eeek! What a good problem to have! This week I did a live webinar to the Multiple Sclerosis society about Sexuality - specifically female but I do talk about viagra (okay I just mention it once). It is a whirlwind talk and I do some great Menopause and Hormone myth busting at the end during the Q&A. This talk applies to everyone! Not just those living or caring for people with MS. Enjoy!
