SHE+ 55 | The Menopause Moment with Dr. Kelly Casperson

Sex Care is Self Care host Patty Brisben sits down with urologist, menopause expert, and bestselling author Dr. Kelly Casperson to talk about her powerful new book, The Menopause Moment. Together, they unpack why menopause is not a medical footnote, but a pivotal moment in women’s health, pleasure, and autonomy.

In this conversation, Patty and Dr. Casperson explore the myths and misinformation that have shaped how menopause is treated, how shame and silence impact care, and what it means to reclaim agency over our bodies as we age. They also discuss the significance of the FDA’s removal of black box warnings on vaginal estrogen, why that decision matters for patient safety and access, and how evidence-based care can radically improve quality of life.

This episode is both practical and affirming, grounded in science, lived experience, and the belief that sex care is self care at every stage of life.
