<p>If you’re a man in any kind of relationship with a woman, you need to listen to this podcast. Menopause isn&#39;t just a women&#39;s issue. And if you&#39;re in a relationship with someone going through it, this conversation might be the most useful thing you listen to all year.</p><p><br></p><p>Dr. Kelly Casperson is a urologist, author, and host of the <a href="https://kellycaspersonmd.com/you-are-not-broken-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><em>You Are Not Broken</em></a> podcast.
