Sexual Health

Rhea Johnston's job involves listening to peoples inner most thoughts. There's something intimate and disarming, for many, about sitting in the hair stylist's chair. To the point that you almost don't notice anyone to the right or to the left, and sometimes you completely open up (same as getting tattooed).

After a couple years of monthly sits in Rhea's salon chair, we decided to bring the 'hair-apy' session to the Blue Hotel, as Rhea's debut includes a deep dive into the wonderful world (or shit-show) of dating and dating apps. Which leads us to how to best go about it, what to ask, what to tell, how much, and how soon, deal-breakers, alignment, and more. PLUS, Rhea tells a really great story about rejection. Oh, and somehow we get into porn preferences. Because why not.

A decrease in libido or difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection during sex are tell-tale signs of erectile dysfunction, and they can be uncomfortable to address. Sure, aging and performance anxiety are part of the story, but believe it or not, erectile dysfunction is not just about sexual health. It’s often the first clue of bigger health issues.

In this episode of my Health Bites series, I explore the root causes of erectile dysfunction, delving into the limitations of conventional medicine, the little blue pill, and how we can utilize the power of Functional Medicine by making changes to our diet, lifestyle, and even trying things like supplements, peptides, and hormone therapy.

Menopause often happens at a time when you are juggling a career, relationships and caring responsibilities.

Here Dr Nadira Awal, a GP and menopause specialist, joins Dr Louise to discuss her work in raising awareness of the menopause and the importance of partners and families understanding what their loved on is going through.

Dr Nadira’s personal experience of the menopause helped drive her passion for educating and supporting other women, especially those in ethnic minority communities who may not feel able to speak openly about it. She talks about increased health risks owing to genetics, particularly with diabetes and increased blood pressure, and the challenge of treating a woman’s symptoms holistically in a ten-minute GP appointment.

Contrary to popular belief, women cannot follow the same health and fitness protocols as men and expect the same results. Unlike men, women in their reproductive years have specific hormonal considerations, and their rise and fall throughout the month impact everything from energy to focus, mood, metabolism, and the ability to adapt to good-for-you stressors like exercise or fasting. Meanwhile, perimenopause and menopause pose a whole other list of considerations to keep women feeling well.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Mindy Pelz and Dr. Sara Gottfried about why we need to prioritize teaching women about their hormones.

Dr. Mindy Pelz is a renowned holistic health expert and one of the leading voices in educating women about their hormonal health. She has empowered hundreds of thousands of people around the world to tap into their bodies' innate healing abilities through her “5-Step Approach,” which uses fasting, personalized nutrition, stress management, chemical detoxification, and lifestyle changes to optimize health and slow the aging process.

Dr. Sara Gottfried is a board-certified physician who graduated from Harvard and MIT. She practices evidence-based integrative, precision, and Functional Medicine. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Thomas Jefferson University, and Director of Precision Medicine at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health. Her three New York Times bestselling books include: The Hormone Cure, The Hormone Reset Diet, and Younger. Her latest book is called Women, Food, and Hormones.

In this episode, you are going to learn how to have better sex. You have an appointment with a leading sex expert, Dr. Emily Morse. I will be the first to admit that I want to have better sex, but I don’t know how to achieve it.

And I’m asking all the uncomfortable questions you want to ask.

This conversation is going to make you think differently about this topic and inspire you to prioritize pleasure and connection in bed, no matter your age, relationship status, or gender.

And if you are saying, “This doesn’t apply to me,” or as my friend just said, “I’m in way worse than a drought! At this point, I’m a born-again virgin."

No, you’re not. And this episode is for you too, because our expert says improving your solo sex life is the first step.

You may not want your little ones to listen because, when it comes to confessions about sex, I'm going first.

Dr. Emily claims that everything you have been taught or observed about sex is WRONG.

Wait. WHAT??...

Dr. Emily is insightful, and this conversation is hilarious and actionable.

You will learn:

• The 3 unexpected ways you are killing your sex drive.
• How to get out of your head when you’re in bed.
• Why meditation and sex might be the combo you need to orgasm.
• You are NOT alone if you cannot orgasm from penetration.
• How to tell time with your vulva (yes, it is a thing).
• Masturbation without shame and secrecy.
• Why skipping foreplay is ruining your chance of having great sex.
• The 5 ways your self-awareness ignites hot and steamy sex.
• Let’s stop faking orgasms. Know the four steps to how you can really get there.

Grab your mirrors and vibrators, and leave your inhibitions and embarrassment at the door. And according to our expert, it’s amazing foreplay to talk about sex. So why don't you and your partner listen to this together? You’ll thank me later.

Maybe we’ll call these sex episodes “Listen and Lube”?

Xo, Mel
