Painful intercourse is a horrible experience for many reasons (especially when you're told to just relax or that it's all in your head...). Our guest today, Occupational Therapist Jess Seitz, shares how she uses her degree and personal experience overcoming 8 years of vaginismus to walk women through healing. This isn't just for the married ladies, though, but any woman experiencing pain inserting a tampon, having a pelvic exam, etc. She discusses the keys to success, including addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual influences that have an impact. If you experience pain, stinging, burning, pressure, or discomfort and you're not sure if there's anything that can be done, this episode is for you. NOTE: This episode is not appropriate for young audiences and does include anatomical terms and pointed discussion about intercourse. GUEST BIO: Jess Seitz is an Occupational Therapist and creator of the successful Pain-free Intimacy program. How to connect with Jess:PainFree Intimacy website @painfree.intimacy on InstagramOther episodes you might enjoy:Ep. 8: Pelvic Floor 101 (Part 1)Ep. 9: Pelvic Floor 101 with Dr. Rachel Moran (Part 2)Send us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

Trisha Goddard rose to fame as a TV journalist. She was the first black TV presenter in Australia and is best known in the UK for her eponymous TV show which aired on ITV and Channel 5 in the late 90s and 2000s, earning her a reputation as the British Oprah. She joins Anita to talk about her career, appearing on Celebrity Big Brother and why she chose recently to go public with her diagnosis for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.Air pollution kills more than 500 people a week in the UK and costs more than 500 million pounds a week in ill health, according to a new report, "A breath of fresh air," by the Royal College of Physicians. The report highlights growing evidence about health issues linked to toxic air and calls it “a public health crisis”. Today, a group of doctors, nurses and campaigners are walking from Great Ormond Street Hospital to Downing Street with a letter calling on government ministers to commit to more ambitious air quality targets. Anita talks to two of them, Rosamund Kissi Debrah, whose daughter Ella became the first person in the UK to have air pollution cited on their death certificate and Professor Sir Stephen Holgate, co author of today's report.Only 3.1% of PREP users in England are women.

Yet women accounted for 30% of new HIV diagnoses in England in 2023. Today, the Elton John AIDS Foundation is launching pilot programmes to increase women's access to PREP. Anita is joined by Dr Jenny Whetham, Consultant and Joint Clinical Lead, Sexual Health and HIV Medicine, Brighton and Anne Aslett, CEO of the Elton John AIDS FoundationThe clever one. The funny one. The beautiful one. But which one is The Favourite?

In this episode of Please Me, Eve sits down with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care, for a raw, eye-opening conversation about the serious gaps in standard STI testing — and how his personal experience sparked a much-needed revolution in sexual health care. Robert shares how a routine STI panel — that came back negative — still left him unknowingly transmitting gonorrhea. That one moment revealed a much bigger problem in the way most doctors approach STI testing, especially when it comes to oral and asymptomatic infections. Together, Eve and Robert dive deep into: Why “full panel” testing often isn't full at all The shocking truth about oral gonorrhea and how often it's missed How the swinger and ethically non-monogamous communities approach safe sex — and where they fall short The stigma, controversy, and misunderstanding around herpes testing How Shameless Care is filling critical gaps left by traditional medical care The conversations we should be having with our partners before becoming sexually active PLUS: Robert shares valuable free resources that can help you advocate for comprehensive STI testing with your own doctor, even if you can't afford full at-home kits.

But who doesn't love a "natural" alternative to support women's sexual health?

2/3 of Massachusetts voters support expanding access to abortion later in pregnancy, according to recent polling. Massachusetts still has on the books a 24-week abortion ban, with additional exceptions later added. Jeanette Kincaid, Associate Director of Care Coordination at DuPont Clinic and Kate Dineen, abortion later in pregnancy patient and advocate and Board Member of Reproductive Equity Now, sit down to talk with us about Massachusetts' abortion access status and the reality of exceptions.When Kate, located at the time in Massachusetts, had a personal experience needing access to an abortion later in pregnancy, she was told travel would be necessary to obtain care. Kate then traveled to the Washington, D.C. area to receive the care she needed. Currently in the Massachusetts, Kate and other advocates are working to pass the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, which would expand access to abortion care after 24 weeks of pregnancy based on the best professional judgement of a licensed physician. Getting rid of the state's gestational ban would increase access to care and equity not only for Massachusetts, but for the Northeast region. For more information, check out Boom!

"What if stress and anxiety are secretly sabotaging my intimacy?" If these questions echo in your mind, get ready for a candid, judgment-free conversation that pulls back the curtain on men's sexual health and confidence. Today, Larry Hagner sits down with Alex Grendi, a sex coach for men whose expertise is rooted in his own personal battles with performance anxiety and sexual health challenges.

After the Second World War, in what was then East Germany, or the German Democratic Republic (GDR), tens of thousands of women and girls were forcibly detained and abused in sexual health clinics. In 1977, at the age of 15, Sabine was at a house party in Leipzig when police came for her. She was taken to a so-called ‘Tripperburgen' which translates to ‘gonorrhoea castle'. After 31 days she was told to leave. Research shows at least 10 of these wards existed in the GDR and 70% of the women had not been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease. Sabine tells Megan Jones about what happened to her, including being subjected to her first ever gynaecological exam. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Tripperburgen at Riebeckstraße 63.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is a reconciliation bill which passed the House and has moved on to the Senate. Included in this bill are provisions that would defund Planned Parenthood, threaten health insurance access, undermine access to abortion and gender-affirming-care nationwide, and raise costs on working families. Ianthe Metzger, Senior Director, Advocacy Communications at Planned Parenthood, sits down to talk with us about this insidious bill and how it, among other things, threatens the care Planned Parenthood provides.Defunding Planned Parenthood, which refers to cutting the provider out of the Medicaid program, would threaten access to cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, prescription services, abortion care, and more across the country. In fact, a new analysis shows that, if the bill passes, nearly 200 health centers across the country would have to close, and 1.1 million people who depend on Planned Parenthood for a spectrum of care would be forced to look elsewhere.For more information, check out Boom!

There's definitely a gap in how seriously women's sexual health is taken compared to men's. For many, these issues aren't just physical—they hit self-esteem, relationships, and emotional well-being. But when they finally do speak up, they're often brushed off or handed solutions that barely scratch the surface. It's frustrating, especially knowing that real science exists—just rarely applied with women in mind. There's a growing sense that things need to change, not just in treatment but in the way the entire conversation is handled. Dr. Charles Runels, best known for inventing the O-Shot and Vampire Facial, is transforming how we approach sexual wellness and aesthetic medicine. Today, he talks about the science behind the O-Shot—a PRP-based treatment helping women with low libido, sexual dysfunction, and other intimate health concerns. It's a non-surgical, regenerative approach that uses the body's own healing abilities. With a background in chemistry and internal medicine, Dr. Runels blends hard science with practical application. His mission is to normalize conversations around sexual health and give women real, research-backed options. Stay tuned!

"Pleasure is a physical embodiment of health."In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, I sit down with Susan Bratton for an open and enlightening conversation about sexual health, a topic often neglected in broader discussions about well-being and longevity.We redefine what it means to have a “healthy sex life,” moving beyond intercourse to focus on pleasure, connection, communication, and exploration. Together, we cover how sexual wellness supports physical and emotional health, how fitness and performance are linked, and why practicing intimacy is essential as we age.The episode explores everything from the science of orgasm and the role of the brain in pleasure to regenerative therapies, sexual biohacking, and practical tools that help improve intimacy and satisfaction. Whether you're in your 30s or 70s, this episode is packed with insights to help you enhance your relationship with your partner and yourself.Key Takeaways- Sexual health is an essential part of overall well-being and longevity.- Great sex involves more than intercourse—pleasure and connection matter.- Understanding your body (and your partner's) leads to better experiences.- Fitness and sexual performance go hand in hand.- Stress, pain, and emotional safety all impact sexual desire.- Multiple orgasms are possible for all genders with the right knowledge.- Intimacy grows through practice, communication, and experimentation.- Toys, tools, and natural lubricants can be valuable additions to your sex life.- Regenerative therapies and biohacking can help maintain or restore sexual function with age.- Nitric oxide supplements support blood flow and performance.- The foundation of desire is built on trust, safety, and novelty.Links: DERRICKTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@drderrickInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/derrickbhines/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@DrDerrickSUSANInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/be_a_better_lover/?hl=enLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanbrattonHer Website: https://betterlover.com/ 

Mifepristone is the first (and extremely safe) in two medications that people will take during a medication abortion—and access to it is under blatant attack in the courts. Dr. Ushma Upadhyay, Public Health Scientist based at University of California San Francisco, and Julia Kaye, Senior Staff Attorney with the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, sit down to talk with us about recent anti-abortion propaganda and how it could be used to shape the FDA's regulations of medication abortion.A past case, Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA, was brought by anti-abortion groups to a federal judge in Texas known to have a hostile record against abortion with the goal of challenging the FDA's mifepristone regulations. The Supreme Court ruled that these groups could not challenge the regulations in June 2024. Anti-abortion Attorneys General of Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho are now attempting to revive this litigation, called Missouri v. FDA. Meanwhile, a new report from a Project 2025-backed organization falsely states that 11% of people who have a medication abortion have a serious adverse event. Sec. Kennedy has cited this report as a basis for conducting a “complete review” of the FDA's mifepristone regulations. For more information, check out Boom!

In today's show, we're talking about a new way of treating women’s most common sexual problems. My guest co-developed an online sexual health platform called eSense that's designed to bring evidence-based treatment for low sexual desire and arousal to the masses at a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy. It could very well be a game-changer in the way we treat sex problems. I am joined once again by Dr. Lori Brotto, an internationally recognized leader in sexual health research. She is a Professor in the UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, a Registered Psychologist, and Canada Research Chair in Women's Sexual Health. She is also author of the book Better Sex Through Mindfulness. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and how can it help in treating problems with desire and arousal? How can mindfulness-based therapy be useful in cases of low sexual desire? How does the eSense platform leverage both CBT and mindfulness training to treat sexual difficulties? How effective is therapy administered online compared to things like face-to-face therapy and pharmaceuticals? How will technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality change sex therapy in the future? You can check out Lori’s website to learn more about her work, and you can learn more about eSense at esense.health. Got a sex question?

Inside Shameless Care: Revolutionizing Sexual Health Testing shamelesscare.com About the Guest(s): Robert Johnson is the founder of Shameless Care, a pioneering telemedicine company that specializes in delivering sexual healthcare tailored for real-life needs. After a personal experience with an STI test failing to detect an infection, Robert launched Shameless Care to offer comprehensive and judgment-free telemedicine services. His company focuses on thorough STI testing, inclusive of all potential infection sites, and has been leading efforts in providing honest and accessible sexual health resources. Robert's background is steeped in entrepreneurship and he is dedicated to improving healthcare by addressing gaps in traditional testing methods. Episode Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, listeners embark on an informative journey into the world of telemedicine and sexual health with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care. Highlighted by enlightening anecdotes and expert insights, the conversation navigates through the complexities of STI testing, the rise of telemedicine, and how these innovations are transforming the landscape of sexual healthcare. This episode shines a light on the crucial importance of thorough STI testing, addressing often-overlooked aspects such as oral and anal infection sites that remain asymptomatic and consequently contribute to the spread of infections. Throughout the discussion, Robert Johnson emphasizes Shameless Care's commitment to enhancing sexual health through patient transparency and comprehensive service offerings. With the increasing prevalence of STIs, Robert argues for greater awareness and proactive measures, dispelling myths and shedding light on underrepresented issues within sexual healthcare. This conversation also touches upon societal and technological shifts influencing sexual behavior and healthcare, including how telemedicine is paving new pathways for privacy and honesty in patient-doctor interactions. Through engaging dialogue, the episode underscores the transformative impact and potential of telemedicine in creating a world where sexual health is accessible and stigma-free. Key Takeaways: Comprehensive STI Testing: Shameless Care stands out for its rigorous testing of 14 STIs, including often-neglected sites like the throat and anal areas, which can harbor infections asymptomatically. Privacy and Transparency in Telemedicine: The telemedicine model permits patients to discuss their health issues openly and without judgment, ensuring more accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments. Prevalence of Asymptomatic Cases: Many STIs present without symptoms; thus, regular and thorough testing is essential for prevention and control. Innovations in Sexual Healthcare: Products like topical Viagra for women and Doxy PEP pills exemplify emerging solutions targeted at enhancing sexual health and prevention. Healthcare Accessibility and Education: Shameless Care's approach is educational and preventative, encouraging personal responsibility and safe sexual practices among users. Notable Quotes: "80% of our positive gonorrhea cases are oral only, caught only with that oral swab." "You can be completely honest with your doctor, and everybody should be honest with their doctor." "It's surprising how many times a married couple will order tests at the same time, get their test results back and not test positive for the same thing." "We're just really proud that we can offer a list of infections to help people get quality testing from their physicians." "Testing thoroughly is one of the most important actions people in the dating pool can take."

Mast cell activation syndrome isn't widely recognized, but for many women, it may explain years of pain, fatigue, and hormone related chaos no one could solve.I see a lot of patients who are struggling with fatigue, pain, and hormone symptoms that don't seem to make sense on paper. And I've noticed a pattern but I wanted to talk to someone who lives in the complexity of it every day.Dr. Tania Dempsey, is one of the few physicians who's helped bring mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) into the spotlight. Years ago, she was treating a patient who just wasn't getting better until she stumbled on a paper about mast cells that changed everything. That one article led to a phone call, a new way of thinking, and a career shifting collaboration with one of the leading voices in the field.In this conversation, we explore how MCAS shows up in gynecology especially in cases involving PCOS, perimenopause, and unexplained pelvic pain. We discuss why some patients are unusually sensitive to progesterone, how inflammation fuels insulin resistance, and what's actually going on when mast cells become overactive. We also get into the clinical triad so many of us see MCAS, hypermobility, and POTS and how they often appear together in patients who are struggling to get answers.Tania also talks about how she built her practice by spending more time listening to her patients and trusting that their symptoms meant something, even when the labs didn't show it. Highlights:What mast cells do and how they become overactive in MCAS.The overlooked link between PCOS, perimenopause, and mast cell dysfunction.Why some patients react badly to progesterone—and what to do about it.How GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic may help calm inflammation in MCAS.What to know before seeking a diagnosis or starting treatment.If this episode opened your eyes or gave you language for what you've been going through, please subscribe, leave a review, and drop a comment.

The most common sexual problems that women experience center around low sexual desire and/or difficulty becoming aroused, formally known as female sexual interest/arousal disorder. In today's show, we're doing a deep dive into what this disorder looks like, where it comes from, and why it seems so hard for women to access treatment for it. I am joined by Dr. Lori Brotto, an internationally recognized leader in sexual health research. She is a Professor in the UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, a Registered Psychologist, and Canada Research Chair in Women's Sexual Health. She is also author of the book Better Sex Through Mindfulness. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What is “female sexual interest/arousal disorder?” How is it clinically defined? How common is this disorder? What do we know about its causes? Is it physical, psychological, or a bit of both? Why does it take an average of 5 years for women to access treatment for sexual desire and arousal problems? Why is it so hard to develop drugs and medications that stimulate sexual desire?

What exactly does a sexual health coach do? This week we're joined by Tiffany Marie, who's breaking down the often misunderstood world of sexual wellness coaching with refreshing honesty and humor.Tiffany explains how she transitions from respiratory therapy to helping couples reconnect intimately during the pandemic, using her medical knowledge and straightforward communication style to tackle taboo topics. She reveals the stark difference between how men and women approach bedroom problems—men typically ask "how do I get my wife in the mood?" while women seek ways to improve overall connection despite challenges like menopause or exhaustion.The conversation takes unexpected turns as we explore how everyday actions like doing dishes can be more effective than any pill for rekindling desire. "Do you really think women want to come home after handling everything else and immediately get intimate?" Tiffany asks, highlighting how partners can show care through simple acts that build the foundation for connection.We dive into practical advice about goal-setting in relationships, the health benefits of regular intimacy (from improved sleep to clearer skin), and the importance of pelvic floor health for both genders. Tiffany offers insights on popular products, debunks myths, and explains why some men feel threatened by toys while others embrace them as relationship enhancers.Throughout our candid discussion, one theme emerges clearly: sexual wellness isn't just about physical pleasure—it's about communication, understanding, and intentionality. Whether you're struggling with intimacy after children, dealing with health changes, or simply looking to deepen your connection, this episode offers practical wisdom without judgment.Subscribe now and check out Tiffany's resources at partieswithtiffany.com or follow her on social media as "Sexual Health Coach by Tiffany" for more straightforward advice on reclaiming intimacy in your relationship.

Hey friends! In this episode, I'm joined by the amazing Dr. Heather Quaile, DNP, as we dive into all things ISSWSH — that's short for the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (try saying that five times fast). We talk about how this incredible organization has exploded in size and why that matters for women everywhere. We get into the power of staying curious in sexual medicine, why funding research is still such a grind, and how hormones — yes, especially testosterone — play a huge role in sexual function. Heather and I also share some of our favorite takeaways from recent ISSWSH conferences, like new ways of looking at orgasm and sexual dysfunction that actually make sense. We don't shy away from the hard stuff either — off-label meds, outdated guidelines, and the frustrating lack of clarity around hormone therapy. But more than anything, this convo is about how we, as healthcare professionals, need to collaborate and push for change that reflects real women's needs. If you're curious about the future of female sexual medicine or just want to hear two clinicians geek out over the latest research, this episode is for you.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this podcast, Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, discusses the significant impact of obesity on health, particularly in Australia where heart disease is prevalent. He emphasizes the concerning rise of ultra-processed foods in diets, which are linked to increased obesity rates due to their addictive nature and high calorie density. Dr. Bishop highlights that traditional weight loss studies often fail in the long term, as most dieters regain lost weight, primarily due to metabolic adaptations. He advocates for a focus on high-protein whole foods, resistance training, and lifestyle consistency to achieve sustainable metabolic health changes.

My friend and colleague Tony Overbay is back, and we're unpacking one of the most transformative concepts in relational healing: differentiation. At its core, differentiation is the ability to say, “This is who I am” and to stay rooted in your identity, beliefs, and emotions, even when others might pressure you to conform. It's about holding onto yourself while staying connected to others, without relying on external validation to feel okay. In this episode Tony and I talk about what differentiation really means, and how developing a solid sense of self—what Tony calls a “90% solid, 10% flexible” ratio—can change how you navigate conflict, boundaries, intimacy, and even sex.  Differentiation isn't something you do to fix the relationship. It's something you do to help you hold onto or come home to yourself. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: The truth about interdependence and how it is the opposite of codependence (14:03) Tony breaks down the four points of balance in differentiation: building a solid sense of self, self-regulating emotions, managing reactivity, and sitting with discomfort for growth (17:22) The dangers of chasing external validation instead of developing self-worth from within (20:08) Why “constructing your crucible” is both hard and necessary (39:15) Learn more about Tony Overbay:  Tony Overbay is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Mindful Habit Coach, and host of two award-winning mental health podcasts, The Virtual Couch and Waking Up to Narcissism, with over 12 million downloads across 150+ countries.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common than you think – but stigma and silence often stand in the way of testing, treatment, and honest conversations. So what happens after a diagnosis? How do we navigate disclosure, dating, and self-worth? We spoke with Emily L. Depasse, MSW, MEd, a leading sex educator, to break down what sexually transmitted infections really are – how they’re spread, the difference between bacterial and viral types, and why many often go undiagnosed. We debunk myths, highlight the importance of early detection, and explore how stigma impacts both public health and personal relationships. We also dive into the emotional side – how to talk about status with partners, tips for dating with an STI, and ways to support friends and loved ones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2014, the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health together with the North American Menopause Society introduced the term “Genitourinary syndrome of menopause” to replace the prior term vulvovaginal atrophy. Ten years after that, in 2024, a related term “Genitourinary Syndrome of LACTATION, was introduced to better capture the genitourinary issues lactating women may experience. A new systematic review, soon to be released in the journal obstetrics and gynecology, provides new data on GSL prevalence and characteristics. This is a good reminder for any clinician who evaluates postpartum/lactating women to ask about GSL. How does sexual dysfunction fit into this question? Listen in to the next episode of Dr. Chapa's Clinical Pearls Podcast for more details.

Global reproductive rights and investment in the agencies and organizations that support reproductive rights have often been used as a political football. The bodies of women, girls, and LGBTQI+ persons have been used to push and pull power for decades—and this anti-rights, anti-choice framework has become increasingly exported around the world. Beth Schlachter, Senior Director for U.S. and External Engagement for MSI Reproductive Choices, talks to us about how attacks to human rights frameworks and funding will further endanger global reproductive health and rights.Some apparatuses the U.S. have been using to redefine human rights, and therefore, redefine access to sexual and reproductive healthcare services, include the Commission on Unalienable Rights, the International Ministerial Conference on Freedom of Religion or Belief, and the Geneva Consensus Declaration. These frameworks and tools then get internationally exported. MSI has a host of programs around the world that will be impacted by these tools, frameworks, and funding attacks. MSI's programs support maternal health and access to other reproductive health services. In addition, these attacks will likely and broadly impact child marriage programs, the PEPFAR program, the Sustainable Development Goals, and more.For more information check outThe Nocturnists: https://thenocturnists.org/Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/   What if your low energy, brain fog, or poor sleep had more to do with your hormones than you realize?   In this episode, I sat down with Patricia Zamora, a nurse practitioner who helps men improve their health through hormone balance. We talked about how to raise testosterone naturally, when TRT might be a good option, and why some men still don't feel great even if their lab numbers look normal.   Patricia shared why cardio is key for overall health, especially if you're on testosterone. We also covered how medications like Clomid and Enclomiphene work, and why many regular doctors aren't fully trained in hormone therapy.   We wrapped up with simple habits that can make a big difference, like walking more and slowing down with breathing or mindfulness. If you've been feeling off and want to get back to feeling like yourself, this episode is a great place to start.   Key Takeaways:    TRT Isn't Always the First Step.   Most doctors aren't trained in hormone therapy. Don't assume your GP is an expert.   Hormone issues affect both partners. Couples should learn and work through it together.   Resources:    Patricia Zamora is a men's health nurse practitioner who focuses on hormone optimization, testosterone therapy, and sexual wellness. With a passion for education and practical solutions, she helps men understand how lifestyle, stress, and medical care affect their hormones and overall health. Patricia also emphasizes the importance of cardio, mindfulness, and clear communication in relationships for long-term well-being.   Patricia Zamora's Website thepatriciazamora.com   @themenshealthnp (IG)  https://www.instagram.com/themenshealthnp    YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@themenshealthnp  _________________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.
