Podcasts about sexual activity

I'm joined by board-certified general surgeon Dr. Lee Howard, who walked away from traditional medicine. Why he feels traditional medicine doesn't really help its patients plus we cover what supplements are good for everyone to take, how to navigate allergy season with kids, what the heck the MTHFR gene is, how we should be approaching our kids' health, why were gonna start to hear more and more about creatine, ways we can help the aging process, plus perimenopause and menopause- how to minimize symptoms and recognize when we start to enter that stage. And we cover once and for all what those silly eye twitches are from. Clip 3: Low Testosterone and Alzheimer's RiskMost people think of testosterone as a hormone that just affects sex drive or muscle mass. But the brain is actually one of its biggest targets. A massive 2023 study from the University of Sydney looked at older men and found something shocking: men with low testosterone had a 26% higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. And we're not talking about late-stage life—these patterns start decades earlier. Testosterone helps regulate inflammation in the brain, supports memory circuits, and even promotes the growth of new neural connections. When levels drop too low, especially without being noticed, the brain becomes more vulnerable to decline. Here's the kicker: most men never get their levels checked. And if they do, the 'normal range' is often outdated or way too broad. What's normal for a 75-year-old is not what you want at 45. I've had women come in concerned about their partner's mood, irritability, even motivation—and it turns out his testosterone was tanked. If you're in a long-term relationship and your partner is acting like a different person, you're not imagining it. And getting his hormones evaluated might be the missing link to helping him feel like himself again—and preventing cognitive decline down the line.Study source: University of Sydney & Neuroscience Research Australia (2023)https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/alz.1252Clip 5: Gut Health and MoodThere's a direct, two-way communication line between your gut and your brain—and researchers now believe that the gut may play just as much of a role in mental health as the brain itself. A major review from 2024 showed that people with poor gut diversity were significantly more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, even when diet and lifestyle were controlled. Why? Because 90% of your serotonin is actually made in your gut. If your microbiome is inflamed or out of balance, your body literally has fewer raw materials to make feel-good brain chemicals. On top of that, gut inflammation sends stress signals to your brain—keeping you in a low-level “fight or flight” state, even when nothing's wrong. And if you've ever felt brain fog, irritability, or sadness after a weekend of sugar and alcohol… this is why. What's exciting is how quickly you can make a shift. Just increasing your fiber, adding fermented foods, or taking the right probiotic can make a measurable difference in just a few weeks. This isn't woo. This is the future of psychiatry. And if you've done therapy, made lifestyle changes, but still don't feel right—check your gut. It might be where your healing needs to start.Study source: Review from the Polish Society of Gastroenterology (2024)https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11811453Clip 8: Hormone Imbalances and MarriageYou'd be shocked how many couples come into my office thinking they have a communication problem—when what they really have is a hormone problem. He's irritable, unmotivated, maybe withdrawing. She's exhausted, anxious, snapping at small things. They think they've grown apart. They think the spark is gone. But when we test their hormones—testosterone, cortisol, DHEA, thyroid—what we find is that their biochemistry is off. And once we start restoring balance, everything shifts. The mood improves. The intimacy returns. The little things don't feel so overwhelming. We now have solid evidence that hormonal health directly impacts emotional regulation, sexual desire, and even empathy. And if both partners are dysregulated, it can feel like the marriage is falling apart—when really, it's just that their physiology is out of sync. This isn't a relationship failure. It's a hormone crisis. And once you name it, you can fix it. I've seen couples on the brink of divorce completely turn things around—because we stopped blaming each other and started healing their bodies.Study source: APA + American Journal of Men's Health (2023–24)https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15579883231166518Clip 11: Whole Milk in Schools Might Actually Be SmarterFor decades, schools have pushed low-fat or skim milk, based on outdated beliefs about fat and weight. But new evidence is flipping that script. A growing body of research now shows that children who drink whole milk are actually less likely to be overweight than those drinking low-fat milk. Why? Because fat makes food more satisfying. It helps with blood sugar regulation and keeps kids fuller longer—so they're less likely to snack on junk later. In 2025, there's increasing pushback from pediatricians and nutrition researchers against the one-size-fits-all low-fat approach. Some school districts are already considering bringing whole milk back, and they're seeing better nutrition outcomes. Whole milk also contains essential nutrients like vitamin D and calcium in more bioavailable forms, especially when paired with fat. It's time we stop fearing fat—especially when the data shows that cutting it hasn't actually reduced childhood obesity. In fact, we may have made things worse. So if your kid likes whole milk, don't feel guilty. It might just be the more nourishing option after all.Study source: Associated Press report (2025)https://apnews.com/article/e4868fdc2dc4e85aeb9375edcd27da49Clip 13: Hormone Fluctuations and Depression in WomenOne of the biggest blind spots in women's health is how powerful hormone fluctuations are—especially on mood. A 2025 study published in Biomedical Reports found that estrogen and progesterone shifts during puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause play a massive role in rates of depression. This isn't just anecdotal. These hormonal changes alter brain chemistry, sensitivity to stress, and even how the body processes trauma. In puberty, many girls who were previously confident begin to struggle with mood and self-esteem—but instead of checking hormones, we tell them to tough it out. In postpartum, we're finally starting to talk about depression more—but the hormonal crash that happens after birth still catches most women off guard. And in perimenopause, where mood swings and anxiety often resurface, women are still too often told it's “just part of aging.” It's not. It's biology. And the good news is, once you understand that hormones are a major player, you can treat the root cause instead of just masking symptoms. Whether it's bioidentical therapy, lifestyle shifts, or targeted nutrients, women deserve to know that their brains and their hormones are on the same team—and that relief is possible.Study source: Biomedical Reports (2025)https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40083602Clip 14: Social Media Changes Teen Brain WiringWe now have MRI data showing that the more often a teen checks social media, the more their brain becomes wired for external validation. In a study from UNC Chapel Hill, researchers found that teens who compulsively checked platforms like Instagram or Snapchat showed measurable changes in the brain's reward centers. These areas lit up more intensely over time, meaning their brains were becoming increasingly sensitive to likes, comments, and digital attention. This isn't just about being distracted. It's about a neurological shift in what they find rewarding—and that shift can impact everything from self-worth to emotional regulation. The researchers even found that this pattern predicts increased anxiety and depression, especially in girls. And it makes sense—when your self-esteem is tied to a number on a screen, even a small drop in engagement feels like social rejection. So what can parents do? First, understand that this isn't just 'teen stuff.' This is brain development. Second, set tech boundaries that prioritize boredom, creativity, and real-life interaction. Even a two-week break can reset the system. Social media isn't going away—but we have to teach kids how to use it without letting it rewire them.Study source: UNC-Chapel Hill (2023)https://www.unc.edu/posts/2023/01/03/study-shows-habitual-checking-of-social-media-may-impact-young-adolescents-brain-developmenClip 16: Screen Time and Toddlers' SleepSleep is how toddlers consolidate memory, regulate mood, and grow both physically and neurologically. But more and more research is showing that screen exposure—even if it's 'educational'—can seriously disrupt toddler sleep. A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that children ages 2 to 5 who used screens within an hour of bedtime had shorter total sleep and more fragmented rest. Blue light delays melatonin production. Fast-paced content overstimulates the nervous system. And passive consumption before bed blunts their natural wind-down process. We think of it as relaxing—but their brains don't. What's worse is that these disruptions don't just affect nighttime. They carry over into the next day—affecting focus, mood, and even immune function. That's why experts now recommend at least 60 minutes of screen-free time before lights out—especially for young kids. Replace it with a bath, a book, a calm routine. These rituals help their circadian rhythm sync naturally. Sleep isn't just a health pillar—it's a developmental requirement. And screens may be the single biggest obstacle we're overlooking.Study source: JAMA Pediatrics (2024)https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/282519Clip 18: Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals = Global Health RiskA sweeping review by the Endocrine Society in 2024 called endocrine-disrupting chemicals a 'global health threat.' These are substances—often found in plastics, pesticides, cosmetics, and even receipts—that can mimic, block, or interfere with your body's hormones. They've been linked to everything from infertility to obesity to neurological conditions and cancer. And they're everywhere. Prenatal exposure can affect fetal brain development. Chronic exposure is associated with thyroid dysfunction and metabolic syndrome. And it's not about one product—it's about cumulative load. What's scary is how underregulated many of these substances are in the U.S. compared to Europe. But what's hopeful is that you *can* reduce your exposure. Swap plastic for glass. Say no to fragrance. Wash produce well. Choose organic when you can. Each swap reduces total burden. This isn't alarmist. This is modern environmental medicine. And it affects every system in your body.Study source: Endocrine Society Global Consensus Statement (2024)https://www.endocrine.org/news-and-advocacy/news-room/2024/latest-science-shows-endocrine-disrupting-chemicals-in-pose-health-threats-globallyClip 19: Gut-Brain Axis and Mental HealthWe used to think the brain controlled everything. Now we know the gut plays just as big a role—especially in mental health. The gut-brain axis is a communication superhighway that links your microbiome to your nervous system. And studies show that disruptions in gut health are strongly linked to anxiety, depression, and even neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD. Certain gut bacteria help produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA. Others regulate inflammation, which directly impacts mood. A 2025 review of over 50 studies found that targeted probiotics improved symptoms of depression in many patients—sometimes as effectively as medication. What you eat, how you digest, and what lives in your gut may affect your mind more than your therapist knows. That doesn't mean meds aren't useful—but it means we have to zoom out. If your gut is inflamed, your brain is inflamed. And no amount of mindset work can override a body that's chemically out of balance. Heal the gut. Watch what changes.Study source: PubMed Meta-Review on Gut-Brain Axis (2025)https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3963000Perimenopause: Recognizing and Addressing Early SymptomsDid you know that up to 90% of women experience symptoms of perimenopause years before menopause actually begins? Despite that, most women are either dismissed by doctors or told they're too young to be entering that phase. Perimenopause can start as early as your mid-30s, and it's not just hot flashes—it's insomnia, anxiety, irritability, brain fog, and cycle irregularities. A study from Stanford's Center for Lifestyle Medicine in 2025 emphasized that when women are supported with hormone therapy earlier—during perimenopause, not just postmenopause—they report significantly better mental clarity, energy, and quality of life. But here's the problem: most conventional providers aren't trained to spot this transition, and women are left thinking it's just stress, parenting, or age catching up with them. When really, it's hormones shifting. Estradiol begins to fluctuate, progesterone declines, and the nervous system takes the hit. Women deserve to know what's happening inside their bodies—and what they can do about it. Simple steps like tracking symptoms, checking hormone levels through saliva or urine testing, and considering targeted bioidentical support can change everything. This isn't about vanity—it's about function, clarity, and reclaiming your life before things spiral. If you've ever thought, 'I just don't feel like myself anymore,' and your labs came back 'normal,' this is your sign to dig deeper. You're not crazy. You're not weak. You're likely perimenopausal. And you deserve care that actually sees you.Study source: Stanford Lifestyle Medicine (2025)https://longevity.stanford.edu/lifestyle/2025/03/06/menopause-hormone-therapy-is-making-a-comeback-is-it-safe-and-right-for-you/Menopause and Muscle Mass: The Critical Role of Resistance TrainingMuscle loss during and after menopause is one of the most overlooked drivers of weight gain, fatigue, and metabolic decline in women. In fact, women can lose up to 10% of their muscle mass in the first five years post-menopause. That's not just a cosmetic issue—it's a health crisis. Loss of muscle means decreased insulin sensitivity, weaker bones, and lower resting metabolic rate. But the good news? It's reversible. A landmark 2025 study from the University of Exeter showed that menopausal women who engaged in just 12 weeks of resistance training experienced a 21% improvement in lower body flexibility and significant increases in strength and mobility. What's even more promising is that these improvements came from just two to three sessions a week using basic strength exercises. Muscle is your metabolic engine. And during menopause, when estrogen drops, protecting that muscle becomes your superpower. This isn't about getting shredded or spending hours at the gym—it's about lifting enough weight to send your body the message that it's still needed. Because when your body doesn't get that message, it starts letting muscle go. This leads to increased fat gain, inflammation, and risk of chronic disease. If you're entering menopause or already postmenopausal and you're not lifting weights, you're missing one of the most effective, protective tools for your long-term health.Study source: University of Exeter (2025)https://news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-health-and-life-sciences/first-of-its-kind-study-shows-resistance-training-can-improve-physical-function-during-menopause/The Importance of Sexual Activity as We AgeHere's something most people don't expect: research shows that sexual satisfaction actually improves with age. A 2025 study published in Social Psychology revealed that older adults reported higher levels of emotional intimacy, comfort, and fulfillment during sex—especially when partnered with someone long-term. It turns out that fewer distractions, better communication, and reduced self-consciousness all contribute to more satisfying experiences in later years. But biology still plays a role. Hormonal shifts—like lower estrogen or testosterone—can affect desire, arousal, and comfort. The good news? These challenges are highly treatable. We now have non-invasive, low-risk treatments like vaginal DHEA, testosterone therapy, or pelvic floor physical therapy that can radically improve function and satisfaction. And here's the key: sexual health isn't just about sex. It's about cardiovascular health, immune health, sleep, and mood. An active sex life improves oxytocin levels, reduces stress, and strengthens the emotional bond between partners. Unfortunately, a lot of providers still don't ask about it. And many people are too embarrassed to bring it up. But this is a health issue—and you deserve support. So if intimacy has changed, bring it into the conversation. Because aging doesn't have to mean disconnect—it can actually mean rediscovery.Study source: PsyPost (2025)https://www.psypost.org/sexual-satisfactions-link-to-marital-happiness-grows-stronger-with-age/Preventing Alzheimer's and Type 2 Diabetes: Blood Sugar and Brain HealthThere's a reason Alzheimer's is now being called 'Type 3 Diabetes.' A 2024 study published in JAMA Network Open found that people with Type 2 Diabetes who kept their A1C in the target range significantly lowered their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. In fact, risk was reduced by up to 60%. Why? Because insulin resistance doesn't just affect your pancreas—it affects your brain. High insulin impairs memory centers like the hippocampus, increases inflammation, and accelerates plaque formation. That means your morning bagel and soda aren't just spiking your blood sugar—they may be spiking your dementia risk. The solution isn't extreme dieting. It's metabolic awareness. Simple tools like continuous glucose monitors, strength training, walking after meals, and eliminating ultra-processed carbs can dramatically stabilize blood sugar. Add in sleep and stress management, and you've got a recipe for brain protection. Most people wait until symptoms start. But prevention is where the power is. If you have a family history of Alzheimer's or Type 2 Diabetes, take this seriously. Your future brain is being built right now by the food on your plate.Study source: JAMA Network Open (2024)https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2821878Testosterone and Aging: It's Not Just About Sex DriveMost people hear 'testosterone' and immediately think of sex drive. But this hormone does way more than that. Testosterone plays a critical role in muscle maintenance, bone density, energy, focus, and mood. A 2025 review from the HE Clinics found that testosterone levels in men start declining around age 30—and continue to drop about 1% per year. That might sound gradual, but by your late 40s or 50s, it's enough to cause noticeable issues: brain fog, irritability, fatigue, and loss of motivation. What's even more concerning is that low testosterone has now been linked to a 26% higher risk of developing Alzheimer's. The brain literally needs testosterone to function well. The challenge is, many men go undiagnosed because they don't get tested—or they get told their levels are 'normal for their age.' But 'normal' doesn't mean optimal. And restoring optimal levels, especially with bioidentical therapies under medical supervision, has been shown to improve mood, clarity, libido, and physical performance. This isn't about bodybuilder doses or quick fixes—it's about reversing a gradual decline that's robbing men of their edge. If you or your partner feels like something is off, it's worth investigating. Because aging doesn't have to mean decline. It can mean recalibration.Study source: HE Clinics (2025)https://heclinics.com/testosterone-therapy-in-older-men-recent-findings/Why Functional Medicine Is Gaining Ground Over Conventional CareIf you've ever felt dismissed in a 7-minute doctor's appointment, you're not alone. Traditional primary care is built for volume—not personalization. That's where functional medicine comes in. A 2019 study published in JAMA Network Open found that patients receiving care through a functional medicine model saw a 30% greater improvement in health-related quality of life than those in conventional care. Why? Because functional medicine is built around asking better questions, running more comprehensive labs, and looking for root causes—not just masking symptoms. Instead of saying 'your labs are normal,' we ask, 'are you thriving?' We look at hormones, nutrition, sleep, gut health, toxin exposure, and genetics as pieces of a bigger picture. This approach is proactive—not reactive. It focuses on reversing disease, not just managing it. More and more people are turning to this kind of care because they're tired of feeling unseen. If you've been told everything is fine but you still feel off, functional medicine might be the approach you need. You deserve care that listens longer, digs deeper, and treats the whole you.Study source: JAMA Network Open (2019)https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2753520A word from my sponsors:Quince - Get cozy in Quince's high-quality wardrobe essentials.

“Are you in a relationship?” “do you have boyfriend?” “Do you have a girlfriend?” “Are you dating anyone?” These are all questions from curious friends and relatives that teenagers have historically had to navigate as part of the adolescent and young adult experience. It's not unusual for the answers given to leave members of the older generation scratching their heads. You see, the nature of romantic relationships and how they are navigated by kids has changed over the years. Now, let me confuse you even more with a new term that's being used: situationship. A situationship is defined as a romantic relationship that lacks any kind of commitment or traditional norms. If you're in a situationship, it can include spending time together, affection, and sexual activity. It's been described as more than a friendship and less than a committed relationship. This new reality must prompt us to teach what God's Word says about friendships, dating, sexuality, and the beauty of covenantal marriage.

     You might have seen headlines, or even read articles that tout the immunity-boosting benefits of sex. Well, it turns out the benefits don't stop there, particularly when it comes to your mental health. Yet, sadly our sexual activity is lower today than it has been in previous generations, which made us ask “could a lack of sex put your mental health at risk?” In this week's episode, we're answering that question and sharing how much sex you should be having for your mental health.

Let's dive in!    References mentioned include: Trends in Frequency of Sexual Activity and Number of Sexual Partners Among Adults Aged 18 to 44 Years in the US, 2000-2018 Sex on the brain!

A new MP3 sermon from Shiloh Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Abstain from Sexual Activity Outside of Marriage Part 2 Subtitle: Church Member Responsibilities Speaker: Wayne Maynard Broadcaster: Shiloh Baptist Church Event: Sunday - PM Date: 6/9/2024 Bible: Hebrews 13:4 Length: 23 min.

A new MP3 sermon from Shiloh Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Abstain from Sexual Activity Outside of Marriage Part 2 Subtitle: Church Member Responsibilities Speaker: Wayne Maynard Broadcaster: Shiloh Baptist Church Event: Sunday - PM Date: 6/9/2024 Bible: Hebrews 13:4 Length: 23 min.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - Speaker: Isaiah Maynard - Today's question brings up quite a few issues related to it, such as love, romance, morality and immorality, even brokenness related to sexual desires. As we talk about these things, I really want us to see that there is one thing that can hold them all together and that is the glory of God. Viewing these issues as a means to see the glory of God helps us make sense of a biblical Sexual Ethic. A question like this could be answered with a list of do's and don'ts but it would miss the heart behind it. The heart behind it ultimately belongs to God, and it is my hope that we instead come away from this brief time with a deeper longing for what God offers us in Christ. So the objective for today is for us to see and understand how God is glorified through our sexual morality.

Today's episode we have Dr. Rachel Ollivier - She is a maternal and women's health researcher and nurse practitioner and clinical scientist at BC Women's hospital.We talk about sexual health after birth and questioning the 6-week checkmark until you really are ready.  Dr. Ollivier was inspired to do her research because, she says, “We didn't have a lot of research on sexual health after birth that specifically looked at sexual health in the context of a more holistic approach.” Erin Junker | Paediatric Sleep ConsultantInstagram @thehappysleepcompanyWebsite www.thehappysleepcompany.com

Friend, this chat is critical. As we attempt to reframe our view of sex, we are missing the mark if we continue to focus on a narrow and limiting view of “sexual activity” vs. the oneness and meaning that comes through “sexual intimacy.”    Let's unpack the differences, think about how we got here and how we find a way forward. And, let's embrace a lifestyle of love making, where intimacy permeates every aspect of a marriage.  We'll dig into these topics:   The traditional view of sex as solely sexual activity is limited and fails to capture the depth and beauty of sexual intimacy. A more aligned with design view of sex, sexual intimacy, which involves vulnerability, communication, and connection, and extends beyond the bedroom into all aspects of a marriage. Practicals for creating a lifestyle of love making prioritizes intellectual, physical, and emotional intimacy, creating a more integrated and fulfilling experience. Encouragement to have open conversations in your marriage about your sexual experiences and work towards deepening their sexual intimacy. 101 Course: Strong Foundations to Starting Well CLAIMING A HEALTHY VISION FOR MARRIED SEX To build a love that lasts, you must begin with a strong foundation. Whether you're newly engaged or in need of a new lens, this course is essential. You'll be equipped to set a Biblically integrated and practically grounded vision for sex, marriage and the calling to steward the gift of pleasure and intimacy.

In this heart-racing episode of Hustle and Flowchart, host Joe Fier invites Dr. Anne Truong, a sexual health expert, to delve into the often-overlooked connection between sexual wellness, stress management, and overall health. As a renowned specialist, Dr. Truong reveals astonishing statistics and practical advice on how entrepreneurs and professionals can integrate healthy practices to improve their sex life, reduce stress, and protect their heart health. This conversation is an eye-opener into how our personal wellbeing is intricately linked to our productivity and entrepreneurial success. Erectile Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Health Dr. Anne Truong begins by discussing the striking statistic that 67% of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) will experience a heart attack within 7 to 10 years, showcasing the importance of seeing ED as a potential early warning sign for cardiovascular issues. This highlights the need for awareness and proactive health check-ups. Four Pillars to Sexual Health and Longevity Dr. Truong introduces the four pillars essential to sexual health and longevity: diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. Adopting a Mediterranean diet, staying active with walking or other exercises, ensuring enough restorative sleep, and lowering stress levels can lay the foundation for improved sexual health. Intermittent Fasting, Productivity, and Stress Reduction Touching on the benefits of intermittent fasting, Dr. Truong suggests that this practice can rejuvenate the body, promoting cell turnover and aiding in stress reduction. She also notes its positive impact on productivity when combined with regular breaks and exercise. Sexual Activity's Role in Cardiac Health Sexual activity is not only a natural part of life, but it's also a boon for cardiac health. Studies indicate a correlation between an active sex life, longevity, and healthier living. The conversation also emphasizes the need for communication and incorporation of these life-affirming practices into our daily routines. Cortisol, Stress, and Their Effects on Health Dr. Truong dives into the impact of cortisol, the stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Chronically elevated cortisol levels can cause various health issues, including hormonal imbalances and cardiovascular strain. Saliva tests are one way individuals can gauge their cortisol levels throughout the day. Stress Management Techniques The duo discusses various techniques to manage stress effectively, including yoga, meditation, proper diet, regular physical activity, and natural supplements like ashwagandha. Dr. Truong adds that sexual activity is a potent stress reducer, leading to a decrease in cortisol and an increase in dopamine levels. Dr. Truong's Personal Journey with Stress Dr. Truong shares her close encounter with stress-related health problems, including Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT). By adopting a more balanced lifestyle and monitoring her cortisol levels, she was able to normalize her health indicators and overcome stress-induced issues within a few months. Sexual Health and Entrepreneurial Success The conversation shifts to how sexual health is interconnected with professional success. Dr. Truong explains that maintaining good blood flow through sexual activity can boost organ functionality and overall wellbeing, thus contributing to enhanced focus and energy for entrepreneurs. The Importance of Blood Flow and Vascular Health Exploring the physiology of blood flow, Dr. Truong emphasizes its importance for organ function and the positive effects of sexual activity on the brain, which releases feel-good hormones and neurotransmitters. Joe Fier connects these insights to the importance of tuning into the body's needs and responses. Practical Advice for Sexual Health and Relationships Closing the episode, Dr. Truong and Joe discuss the vital role of maintaining sexual health in relationships and emphasize open communication between partners. They also share resources such as Dr. Truong's YouTube channel "Sexual Health for Men" and various online coaching programs for those seeking guidance. Conclusion This episode serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the interplay between sexual health, stress, and cardiovascular wellness. Joe and Dr. Truong provide actionable insights and natural approaches to enhancing sexual vitality, making it clear that maintaining our sex lives is essential, not just for personal fulfillment but for our overall health and success. Listeners are left with invaluable lessons on the importance of love, connection, and intimacy, and are encouraged to engage with further content on the topic, such as Dr. Truong's educational platforms.

Getting physical and getting hives – two things that aren't commonly thought about simultaneously. But over the past couple of decades, allergies, especially to food, have become front-and-center. As has hook-up culture. We were reminded by a listener that their intersection deserves attention, too, when we got this question: How do I teach my kid to be safe and respectful when hooking up with someone who has allergies? And if my kid is the one who's allergic, how do they stay safe while getting intimate?

And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?” 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.”6 So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab was doing and how the people were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” And Uriah went out of the king's house, and there followed him a present from the king. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” 11 Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” 12 Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, so that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down, and die.” 16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting. 19 And he instructed the messenger, “When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king, 20 then, if the king's anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'”22 So the messenger went and came and told David all that Joab had sent him to tell. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men gained an advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate. 24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall. Some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.” 25 David said to the messenger, “Thus shall you say to Joab, ‘Do not let this matter displease you, for the sword devours now one and now another. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it.' And encourage him.”26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband. 27 And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.We can, bravely, put on a uniform to protect community, and country, but relinquish our duties as brave parent(s), and leader(s), to the culture of unchecked wokeness.-Watson Prunier, SOChttps://www.fatherly.com/love-money/why-its-so-hard-men-say-i-love-you-to-fathers“He Makes it So Awkward”: 8 Men On Why It's Hard to Tell Their Dads They Love Them1.

Most of us assume women are judged more harshly for promiscuous behavior. A study from Norway suggests the opposite is now true.

Nurses Out Loud with April Snipes RNFA, BSN, CNOR – Will these policies lead to an increase in sexual misconduct by eliminating criminalization for actions now considered to be human rights violations? Is this simply a reflection of our overall society's desire to adopt a fairer society of sexual freedom without biological or social consequences?

The worshiping of idols was common mixed with drunkenness and perverse sexual activity. In 1 Corinthians 10, we are given a stern reminder of what idolatry, and many other sins, did to Israel. Experience can be a painful teacher. We can learn wisdom from studying the mistakes of others. Pastor Jesse continues his series "Growing Pains" with this installment on 1 Corinthians 10:1-14.

Pay pigs and prayer warriors, we come to you with tragic news. Unfortunately, Kenny has perished in a tragic dressage horse related incident. However, due to their connection to the Kennedys, they will be back and stronger than ever due to the same cybernetics that they gave to Robert Kennedy. And rejoice! for the All-Mother of Big Soy Naturals, the legendary Joan Summer of Eating for Free has arrived to replace Kendall. This week, Ceres and Joan tackle the Protestant sexual politic of the incoming generations. Where every other two bit verified Twitter user has gotten it wrong, your they and she-devils are here to get it right. The duo talk about the trend of sexual puritanism and how it all ties back to FOSTA-SESTA, hyper-individualism, a commodity-based culture, and a rise in the belief that sexual relations should be used only to produce new labor. Stay on that sigma grindset! And by grindset we mean grinding your genitals together in public.

This week on Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan:Non-pecuniary damages are compensation for personal injury losses that have not required the outlay of money. The purpose is to compensate injured people for pain, suffering, disability, inconvenience, and loss of enjoyment of life. They are also referred to as compensation for pain and suffering. Such damages are distinct from pecuniary damages for things such as lost income, the cost of care or special damages for things like the cost of medication or medical equipment. In 2002 the BC Court of Appeal, in a case called Brisson v. Brisson, decided that juries shouldn't be given instructions from the trial judge with respect to what range of non-pecuniary damages should be awarded. The idea was that this should be left for the jury to decide based on the evidence rather than having judges influence this. When a judge is deciding on the amount of non-pecuniary damages, they would consider how much has been awarded in previous cases to achieve some measure of consistency. Another factor is that, in 1978, the Supreme Court of Canada, in a series of cases often referred to as the trilogy on damages, capped non-pecuniary damages at $100,000. The purpose of the cap was to reduce the cost of car insurance. The cap has increased in accordance with inflation but remains in place. The maximum amount that can be awarded in catastrophic cases is now approximately $400,000. Because juries are given no instructions about the cap or what has been awarded in previous cases, it is not uncommon for there to be appeals when a jury award is higher than in similar cases or above the cap. In the case discussed on the show, a jury awarded a single mother who was injured in a car accident $350,000 in non-pecuniary damages as a result of injuries that persisted for at least ten years, which caused ongoing pain, the loss of ability to physically care for her children or run a daycare business. On appeal, two of the court of appeal judges hearing the case reduced the award to $250,000. A third judge would have reduced the award to $200,000 while criticizing the lack of guidance provided to the jury. The public policy question this all raises is who should decide how much compensation is appropriate: juries or judges. In BC, because of the change to ICBC no-fault insurance, there is no longer any compensation for pain and suffering at all. Someone who is injured would only receive reimbursement for financial losses. Had the injury in the case discussed occurred now, the badly injured mother would have received no compensation other than for her pecuniary losses. Also, on the show, another split decision from the BC Court of Appeal is discussed. In this case, the court was reviewing a trial judge's decision in a sexual assault case not to permit evidence about prior sexual activity to be considered. The case involved a married couple who were in the process of separating after the husband told his wife that he was having an affair. The wife claimed that the husband sexually assaulted her when they were living in separate bedrooms in the home. She told the police that they had engaged in consensual sexual activity the day before the allegation. At trial, she claimed that there had been no sexual activity for two weeks prior to the assault.One of the Court of Appeal judges found that the accused husband should have been permitted to ask questions about the inconsistency. Two other judges disagreed. As a result of the split decision, the husband will be allowed to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. Follow this link for links to the cases discussed.

Different categories of women, including converts, captives who were freed, and maidservants - who were expected to have has sexual intercourse, given the circumstances of their lives - unless they completed those statuses prior to being 3 years and one day old. Then they are considered virgins. Plus, recanting one's childhood conversion (for example). Also, a cases where the unions do not result in a virgin's ruptured hymen. And the status of "mukat eitz," where the hymen has been ruptured, but not via sexual intercourse. Plus, the question of when a claim of virginity is to be expected or not relevant. With implications for the ketubah money.

Episode 100: Sexercise. Written by Valerie Civelli, MD. Comments by Namdeep Grewal, MD; and Hector Arreaza, MD. Have you ever wondered if sex is a good workout? Drs. Civelli, Grewal and Arreaza discuss the topic based on evidence offered by science. The following episode is not recommended for young children or people who consider sex a sensitive topic. This is the Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it's sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.___________________________Sexercise. Written by Valerie Civelli, MD. Comments by Namdeep Grewal, MD; and Hector Arreaza, MD. A: If I say “bow chika wow wow” what's the first thing that comes to mind? The Chipmunks movie right?B: Yes, exactly, I can hear Alvin in his high-pitched voice, [higher tone] “bowchicka wow wow”. For those of you unfamiliar with this movie, don't feel too left out because even Alvin was hinting to exactly what you're thinking.A: Yep, we're going there today people.  Let's talk about sex.  Medically speaking of course. B: That's right because 1. If you're doing it, your risk for heart attacks and strokes are decreased after age 50 and 2. If you're not doing it, ask you're doctor, we should be discussing it and why not.A: Yes, that is the guideline-directed recommendation actually. We're recognizing more and more the importance of sexual activity in medicine and its impact on overall health, quality of life and even level of risk for mortality. However, given the sensitive nature of sexuality, few studies have been done to better correlate and define exactly what this means for our health specifically. Sex can be an embarrassing topic to discuss by patients, doctors and researchers which has been largely influenced by culture, religion and other societal norms.  Well, today let's break this proverbial glass. B: I agree, let's talk about sexuality activity and what research do we have.A: It has been said that Dr. Masters and Dr. Johnson were the earliest pioneers of this type of investigation. They published the first study of its kind in 1966, which examined the physiological responses of sexual activity. This was an 11-year observational study involving 382 females, ages 18 to 78, and 312 male volunteers, 21 to 89 years of age. The study identified a progressive increase in respiratory rates, up to 40 per minute, an increased heart rate 110 to 180 beats/min and an increase in systolic blood pressure by 30 to 80mmhg during sexual activity. In 1970, Hellerstein and Friedman identified the mean heart rate at the time of orgasm was 117.4 beats per minute with a range of 90 to 144. This was done in middle-age men, average age 47.5. Interestingly, the 24-hr ekg monitoring also identified a lower peak post coital heart rate, which was usually lower than the heart rates achieved with normal daily activities (around 120.1 beats per minute). In 1984, Bohlen et al. did a racier study with 10 couples using ECG, oxygen consumption (measured using a fast-responding polarographic O2 gas analyzer), heart rate and blood pressure monitoring before and during 4 types of sexual activity. This study obtained data during self-stimulation, partner stimulation, man-on-top and woman-on-top coitus.  The men were aged 25 to 43 years of age.  Results showed that self-stimulation increased the heart rate by 37 % from baseline to orgasm compared with a 51 % increase with man-on-top coitus. B: So already it was clear in 1966 to 1984 that physical exertion in the bedroom correlates to physiologic responses like increased heart rate, blood pressure, etc.  However, our question of the day is, does sexual activity count as exercise, and to that question we ask why or why not?A: When I think about exercise, I think about heart rate and blood pressure.  I think about indicators of energy expenditures and/or intensity. And specifically, while I'm working out…I'm talking about at the gym, and I'm running on the treadmill for example, my mental state is, how much longer until I can quit.  Duration and level of intensity while under this physical exertion feels most important. And according to the AHA, this has been heavily studied.  That's why 150 active intentional minutes of exercise are recommended per week to improve cardiovascular health. Does this translate to sexual activity? B: Well before we answer this, let's first mention the Bruce protocol. Have you ever heard of this? The Bruce protocol is a standard test of cardiovascular health, comprised of multiple stages of exertion on a treadmill, with three minutes spent per stage. Also at each stage, the incline and speed of the treadmill are elevated to increase cardiac work output, which is called METS. Stage 1 of the Bruce protocol is performed at 1.7 miles per hour and a 10% incline. Stage 2 is 2.5 mph and 12%, while Stage 3 goes to 3.4 mph and 14%. If you're a pilot for example, the FAA expects testing to achieve 85-100% of Maximum Predicted Heart Rate (220 minus your age) for a 9-minute duration.  With the Bruce protocol in mind, we circle back to our question of the day, does sex count as exercise?A: In 2007, Palmeri et al. reported that in 19 men and 13 women aged 40-75 years old, the intensity of sexual activity was comparable to stage II of the standard multistage Bruce protocol (moderate intensity) on a treadmill for men and stage I (low intensity) for women. In addition, maximal heart rate and blood pressure during sexual activity was approximately 75 % of that attained during maximum treadmill stress testing of the Bruce protocol. Collectively, based on these above studies, the physiological responses of sexual activity seem to be at a moderate intensity. B: Okay, so “you're saying there's a chance.” Right, one in a million Lloyd. Another movie reference, if you've seen the American classic Dumb and Dumber, you can appreciate it.  The point is, the level of intensity was identified by Palmeri's research but are we convinced sex may be used as exercise based on studies that were conducted more than a quarter of a century ago? As a studious, thriving resident physician, with a heavy background in research, I turned to Up to date for more data, and recommendations.  I had zero findings. Naturally I turned to Men's Health magazine to see what is out there to the general public:A: “You're in bed with your partner and you just finished a vigorous sex session. You're hot and sweaty, worked past that side cramp you got while thrusting, and are convinced you just burned as many calories as you would at the gym. You figure you can skip the treadmill today since your sex workout—a.k.a sex exercises, a.k.a sexercises—got you plenty of cardio.Well, we may have bad news: it depends on the type of sex you're having—specifically, how active you are during it, and how long you're having it—but unless you're really going at it for a couple of hours, odds are, it wasn't that great of a workout. To better quantify this, couples were evaluated while running on a treadmill for 30 minutes and compared to their sexercise. The results, which were published in the journal PLOS ONE, concluded that men burn 100 calories during the average sex session, while women burn about 69 calories. The researchers estimated that men burn roughly 4.2 calories per minute during sex, while women burn 3.1 calories. B: Men may be more physically active during sex which potentially explains why they burn more calories, study author Antony Karelis. But the main reason, Karelis told Time, is that “Men weigh more than women, and because of this, the energy expenditure will be higher in men for the same exercise performed.”It's also worth knowing that sex sessions in the study lasted an average of 25 minutes That's far longer than average. Times varied in the study, ranging from 10 to 57 minutes.  A: The longer the session, the more calories burned.  B: One study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that most sex sessions last six minutes. A: Here are some tips for burning more calories during sex:Make some moans and sighs to burn some extra calories.Change your position to make it more of a workout, especially women. If you're on top, move your hips like a belly dancer. It will feel good while giving you a workout.Experiment with a position where you squat on top of your partner and then bounce up and down. That's a great way to work out your thighs and rear.Try being on top rather than on the bottom, because research suggests that requires more energy.Kiss in unusual positions. Have the guy on his back. Do a push up on top of him. Come down to kiss him and then push back up.Take off your clothes in ways that burn calories. Draw it out and make it part of your foreplay. Or tease him as you get undressed. Do a seductive dance with a silk scarf, for example.Give a good massage to get your heart rate up. Ramp things up by going deeper. It's more sensual and works different muscles. Take turns so you can both get the calorie burn and its arousing impact. B: Harvard source:  During sexual intercourse, a man's heart rate rarely gets above 130 beats a minute, and his systolic blood pressure nearly always stays under 170. All in all, average sexual activity ranks as mild to moderate in terms of exercise intensity.  A: As for oxygen consumption, it comes in at about 3.5 METS (metabolic equivalents), which is about the same as taking a walk or playing ping pong. Sex burns about five calories a minute; that's four more calories used than watching TV. B: How do we decide if one is fit enough for sexual activity? For a 50-year-old man, the risk of having a heart attack in any given hour is about one in a million; sex doubles the risk, but it's still just two in a million. For men with heart disease, the risk is 10 times higher — but even for them, the chance of suffering a heart attack during sex is just 20 in a million. In short, if you are able to climb 3 flights of stairs, you are safe to proceed.  A: Circling back to exercise, keep in mind 4-5 calories burned per minute is still better than zero. Any time spent engaging in any level of physical activity is better than sitting on the couch.  B: Further, “Having sex for at least 10 minutes contributes to your cardiorespiratory health, increased serotonin levels (the happy hormone), and improved sleep,” Silberstang says. Studies have found that sex can relieve everything from anxiety and depression to high blood pressure.  A: When men orgasm, their bodies release serotonin, oxytocin, and prolactin, all hormones associated with better moods, relaxation, and lowered stress. Multiple studies have also found links between regular sex and a reduced risk for heart disease and prostate cancer, and a stronger immune system. One reason that sex isn't classified as a workout is due to its average duration: 3 to 13 minutes,” Silberstang explains. “So, naturally, one of the ways to make sex more of a cardio workout is to increase the time of the act.” C: The present study indicates that energy expenditure during sexual activity appears to be approximately 85 kcal or 3.6 kcal/min and seems to be performed at a moderate intensity in young healthy men and women. These results suggest that sexual activity may potentially be considered, at times, as a significant exercise. Moreover, both men and women reported that sexual activity was a highly enjoyable and more appreciated than the 30 min exercise session on the treadmill. Therefore, this study could have implications for the planning of intervention programs as part of a healthy lifestyle by health care professionals. B: We look forward to future studies that may further show the relationship between psychosocial/qualitative factors and energy expenditures which could explain how these variables could affect overall health and quality of life.____________________________Now we conclude episode 100, “Sexercise.” If you ever wondered if sexual intercourse was a good workout, today we learned that in general it is not an energy-demanding activity. The average man burns just 24 kilocalories during sex, but with some adjustments you can burn more calories, especially if the activity takes longer. If your patient is not having sex, they do not have to start having it just to exercise, remind everyone to be sexually responsible to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.Today we thank doctors Valerie Civelli, Namdeep Grewal, and Hector Arreaza. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

     You might have seen headlines, or even read articles that tout the immunity-boosting benefits of sex. Well, it turns out the benefits don't stop there, particularly when it comes to your mental health. Yet, sadly our sexual activity is lower today than it has been in previous generations, which made us ask “could a lack of sex put your mental health at risk?” In this week's episode, we're answering that question and sharing how much sex you should be having for your mental health. Let's dive in!    References mentioned include: Trends in Frequency of Sexual Activity and Number of Sexual Partners Among Adults Aged 18 to 44 Years in the US, 2000-2018 Sex on the brain! Associations between sexual activity and cognitive function in older age Frequency of Penile–Vaginal Intercourse is Associated with Verbal Recognition Performance in Adult Women Thank you for listening to The Happy Eating Podcast.

Due to the mind-numbing circumstances of this week's Supreme Court decision, we decided to re-release our abortion episode. Right, critics, we know if our moms got abortions, we would not be born to tell the tale. Your fallacy of logic is too exhausting to even address.  As women, moreover as mothers, we are consumed with grief and anger over what is happening on the daily to threaten our children, but now, even the bodies of our female children?  While we regroup and figure out how to take action, we want to reshare our thoughts and some facts about Islam and abortion. Check our shownotes on this one for sure to get the links.  For all these years, the cockroaches have been warning the world about Sharia Law when their own religious laws are SO MUCH more dangerous to women. The irony is maddening. Tell us what you think about Roe v Wade being overturned in comments, but if you identify as male, you should observe and remain silent. As owners of the only set of organs to have laws created to control them, we are hypervigilant right now and have given fair warning to tread lightly or not at all. Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon, or ask Alexa.
