The Role of Progesterone in Perimenopause and Menopause

A lot of women are told that estrogen is the only hormone that matters in perimenopause and menopause — but that’s not the full story. In this episode of the Modern Menopause Podcast, Morven and Dr. Robyn Kutka break down one of the most common misconceptions women hear: that all menopause symptoms come from low estrogen. But what if that’s not the full story? From feeling foggy to tossing and turning at 3am, a lot goes on during perimenopause and menopause that doesn't always trace back to estrogen alone. Dr. Robyn makes the case for why progesterone deserves way more of the conversation.  The information provided is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

Testosterone & Libido After Menopause: Myth, Truth, and What Else Matters

Is testosterone really the answer to low libido during perimenopause and menopause—or is that just another overhyped myth? In this episode of Modern Menopause, your host Morven and hormone expert Dr. Robyn Kutka break down the truth about testosterone and women’s libido. While it’s often promoted as a quick fix, libido is far more complex—especially during midlife. We get into why libido during midlife is so much more than one hormone — from stress and sleep to relationship dynamics and beyond. Every woman's body is different — and this conversation is a great reminder that no single hormone tells the whole story. If you’ve been told “just take testosterone,” this conversation will give you a much more complete—and realistic—picture. 💬 Plus: listener questions on orgasm, sensitivity, and what else actually supports libido during menopause.
