I wasn't sure if I'd publish this as a podcast episode considering I'm exploring the new territory of just collecting information from health care providers that can support my mission to help people navigate the stigma that comes with not only a herpes, but any STI diagnosis. As I learn more, I learn more. While I filter and curate this information from them to you, maybe you'll have my same experience and growth while I'm learning out loud here through these conversations. So I decided to get their consent to share these recordings that aren't quite podcast episodes, but conversations with providers on their challenges and perspectives as they treat patients. Dr. Lourdes here is the first interview in that series. I look forward to sharing with you here. Lourdes Mantecón-Garza obtained her medical degree in 1982, at the medical school of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, in Monterrey, Mexico. She continued with specialty studies in Internal Medicine at the SSA Metropolitan Hospital in the same city in 1988. She completed a master's degree in business administration at the University of Texas (MBA, UT-PanAmerican) in 2005. She continue with studies on human sexuality at the Institute for Advanced Studies of Human Sexuality (IASHS) and at the Buehler Institute, both in California USA. Dr. Mantecón is a certified clinical sexologist by the American College of Sexologists International and is also a certified sexuality counselor by the American Association of Sexuality, Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) also in the US. Dr. Mantecón -Garza has fellow studies in women's sexuality by the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH). She is a visiting professor for human sexuality readings at different educational institutions in Mexico (UANL) and the United States (UTRGV school of medicine and family residency).

In addition to her practice, Dr. Mantecón Garza decided to write reference books that could be available to the population without the difficulty of medical technicalities. His first work, “The diet and the diabetic”, was published by Editorial Trillas in 1996, the second is “Healthy Sexuality” in the process of printing with the same publisher. She is dedicated to work as sexuality counselor at her office in McAllen Texas, she also offers services through telemedicine in English and Spanish.

When we feel good about ourselves - sexually, lovingly - we can conquer the world.” Rachel and Tracy are thrilled to be joined by Dr. Laurie Landeen for an enlightening conversation all about women's intimacy and sexual health!

Did you know that sexual health is just like any other aspect of health? As sexual beings, it's important we understand and honor that sexuality is part of being human, and that there should be no shame is discussing, addressing, and caring for it. Pregnancy and postpartum introduces it's own pleasures, challenges, and differences, so let's take a look at how to maintain pleasurable sexual health throughout these stages.  In this episode, Dr. Rachel Rubin discusses the importance of good sexual health and how pleasure is essential for a healthy relationship. She also stresses the importance of communicating with your partner about your sexual needs in order to maintain a strong bond.  As children grow, Dr. Rubin recommends that parents discuss sexual health with them and provideinformation on how sex works biologically and psychologically. By understanding these matters, families can create a foundation for healthy sexuality, openness and safety. Dr. Rachel Rubin is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist. She is an assistant clinical professor of Urology at Georgetown University and works in a private practice in the Washington DC region. She is one of only a handful of physicians fellowship trained in male and female sexual medicine. Dr. Rubin is a clinician, researcher, and vocal educator in the field of sexual medicine.

In addition to being education chair for the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH), she also serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal Sexual Medicine Reviews. In this episode: Dr. Rachel talks about the importance of understanding our bodies as much as possible.  Sexual health is important throughout the life cycle, but it's particularly left off the table during pregnancy and early parenting. Sexual health is like any other health - it should not be disregarded and should be treated with significance. Understanding how hormones work empowers individuals to further understand their responses and biological reasons. Dealing with sexual problems involves desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain and entails varying treatments. Sometimes a vaginal estrogen prescription will help postpartum for better and faster tissue healing. Physical therapy can also help with muscle healing postpartum. The secret to remaining sexually active with a sexual partner is having both individuals gain joy and pleasure - it is never one-sided. The genitals are capable of bringing so much joy and life forms through them. Therefore, it should not be seen as shameful or disgusting. Focusing on your quality of life may mean varying aspects of health to focus on such as sexual health, mental health, etc. Check out https://www.isswsh.org/ to find a provider to help you address quality of life issues.   Key Takeaways: Pleasure and joy are important parts of our lives Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum issues are a wildfire of hormone changes When experiencing discomfort, make that extra visit and put yourself a priority Take care of yourself to be able to take care of everybody else Search for ways to show intimacy and connection with your partner After birth, our bodies will look different and that's okay Understand what happens to your body parts to appreciate their function Knowledge about the body should start young with no shame Sexual organs are body parts - they can experience problems too   Tweetable Quotes: “Sexual health is just health. It is a part of health. It is a part of how you feel about your own body, about your own pleasure in your own skin. Pleasure is so important. Joy is so important.” - Dr. Rachel Rubin   “If you are having pain or discomfort or problems, you have to check back in with your doctor, you have to make that extra visit and put yourself a priority. Remember, you have to put your oxygen mask on first, if you're going to show up to be a good partner, to be a good mother, you have to take care of yourself. And too often women put themselves last. ” - Dr. Rachel Rubin   “Understand what the biology is right now, find the ways to have pleasure, find the ways to enjoy each other to show intimacy and connection.” - Dr. Rachel Rubin   “Love your body.

Symptoms of HSDD include decreased spontaneous sexual thoughts or fantasies, decreased responsiveness to stimulation, inability to maintain interest through sex, and loss of desire to initiate sex. Women with HSDD may also avoid situations that could lead to sexual activity. Did you know there are treatments available? Men have the little blue pill - now women have options.

In this episode we continue our discussion about testosterone replacement therapy.  In a previous episode, we spoke to Dr. Amy Pearlman about how men can determine whether testosterone therapy may be right for them. But what do you do after you decide that you want to proceed with testosterone therapy?  What type of testosterone treatment should you try: shots, creams, pellets, or even pills?  What are the risks and benefits of each? How are the different treatment options administered? And what do you need to monitor and watch out for when receiving testosterone replacement? In order to help us answer these questions, we are fortunate to be joined by an expert in testosterone supplementation.  Dr. Rachel Rubin is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist.

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.
