More than 2.4 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis were reported in the U.S. in 2023. Still, the numbers show the cases of reportable STIs tended to decrease, or at least saw a sharp decline in the rate by which they increased. In this episode of the Sex+Health podcast, we talk with Bradley Stoner, MD, PhD, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of STD Prevention, for his thoughts on what's driving the epidemic and why the latest data show there may be cause for optimism. *STI Fact Sheets: https://www.cdc.gov/sti/communication-resources/index.html * Free, Confidential Testing: https://gettested.cdc.gov/ * STI Statistics: https://www.cdc.gov/sti-statistics/index.html * How to prevent STIs: https://www.cdc.gov/sti/prevention/index.html * About congenital syphilis: https://www.cdc.gov/syphilis/about/about-congenital-syphilis.html * Preventing STIs with doxy PEP: https://www.cdc.gov/sti/prevention/doxy-pep.html * Conversation tips: https://www.cdc.gov/sti-awareness/pbyt/conversation.html * The conversation badge: https://www.cdc.gov/sti-awareness/pbyt/badges.html

My response to the protesting of sexual health curriculum in Canada and the support for trans kids & gender non conforming kids in schools. We are also seeing a tremendous backlash in the USA with a record number of anti-trans & LBGTQIA ++ laws being passed — we in the midst of a mental health epidemic of depression, anxiety, addiction & trauma. Please listen and share with an open mind. We need to give kids the safe spaces they need to thrive. Schools are that safe space — and using gender affirming language not only creates safe spaces, it also protects kids from mental health crisis and suicidality.

INTERVIEW: What is cycle syncing anyways? Should I be doing this? How do I even get started?! This week I'm in conversation with Sam Doyle, the cycle syncing goddess herself, to tell me everything we need to know about living our most authentic lives in sync with our periods. And yes, while I know this topic is for menstruators, I actually think we all can learn a thing or two from this intuitive way of being. On this episode Sam shares with Bedside what the 4 phases of every menstrual cycle entails and gets granular around the foods, movement, creativity, and energy each phase calls for. Sam tells us about her Catholic school days, what inspired her to overhaul her health journey, and spills SO many tips for intuitive living. And for my manifestation babes, this conversation is filled with all the universal gems for stepping into that next level you. This was such a nourishing conversation and I can't wait for all of us to tap into this super power. LFG!!

Our sexuality is an integral part of who we are, yet our understanding of sex has been warped by everything from age-old taboos and religious dogma to a popular culture that views sexuality as transactional. In this “edgier” episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Liz Goldwyn about her new book, Sex, Health, and Consciousness, and how we can each reclaim our birthright of pleasure and joy.  Tune in as they discuss why it's never too late to experience better sex and more pleasure; the metaphor of the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi; a much-needed new vision of sex ed; inquiring into your beliefs about sexuality; how your individual relationship to sexuality is as unique as your fingerprint; bringing discipline, mindfulness, and practice to your sex life; creating a safe and healthy ethos around sex; the concept of aftercare; how bondage can become a healing tool; using sex to fill a void in your life; developing porn literacy; Orgasm Breathing—and a guided practice of its first stage; harnessing our sexual energy; and how the integration of sex, health, and consciousness is critical at this time in our collective lives.
