Why I Pre-Ordered The Menopause Moment - and Why Midlife Women Deserve Excellent Health

I am post-menopause. And here’s something I want you to know: I’ve been using hormone therapy for years — safely, with excellent results — and I’m still staying open to the best, most cutting-edge practices.

My own gynecologist, Dr. Cheruba Prabakar — a menopause specialist who I trust deeply — was the one who first told me about Dr. Kelly Casperson’s You Are Not Broken podcast. I’ve been a listener ever since, and I’ve learned so much from the way Dr. Casperson blends science, humor, and honesty to help women truly understand what’s happening in their bodies.

That’s why I didn’t hesitate to pre-order her new book, The Menopause Moment. I ordered mine through my local bookstore Orinda Books , but you can also find it on Amazon .

What You’ll Learn Inside The Menopause Moment

Dr. Casperson is a urologist, sex educator, and international podcaster with a clear mission: empowering women to live with confidence, intimacy, and health at every stage of life. Her book covers what so many of us were never taught:

• Why menopause is more than “just the end of periods.”

• How estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone really work.

• What’s happening in the “midlife brain” (yes, there’s science behind the fog).

• How to talk to your doctor without being dismissed or gaslit.

• How to talk to men in ways that actually get heard.

• What your sex life can look like in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.

• The truth about hormones: are they bad, or have we been misled?

Plus, preorder now and you’ll also receive access to two live author Q&As and the Midlife Summer School replays. That's what I did!

Why This Moment Matters

The FDA recently held a public hearing on menopause, and experts recommended removing the outdated black box warning on low-dose vaginal estrogen. This one step could open the door for millions of women to get the care they need without unnecessary fear.

It feels like we’re finally at a turning point: myths and silence are being replaced with science and empowerment.

For anyone seeking credible information, I also highly recommend exploring resources from The North American Menopause Society, a trusted leader in evidence-based care.

Staying Open, Staying Curious

One of the things I’ve learned in my own post-menopause journey is that knowledge keeps evolving — and so do we. That’s why I plan to listen to Rich Roll’s podcast with Dr. Mindy Pelz (author of Fasting Like a Girl, a book already on my shelf). Like Dr. Casperson, Dr. Pelz challenges us to think differently about how women’s health can be supported in midlife and beyond.

For me, this isn’t about chasing youth. It’s about embracing what’s possible — because women have both the potential and the right to expect excellent health, energy, and joy at every stage of life.

Why This Connects to Sexy in Your 60s

This is exactly why I created my Sexy in Your 60s program. It’s about giving women over 50 the tools, coaching, and community to take what the science shows us — and actually live it out every day.

Dr. Casperson’s book gives us the science. My program helps you turn that science into habits, routines, and confidence.

Because Sexy in Your 60s is not about perfection or pretending we’re still 30. It’s about embracing who we are now — with clarity, vibrancy, and purpose — and knowing that excellent health is still ours to claim.
