Intelligent Medicine®
Dr. Madeleine Castellanos joins us for a discussion of integrative treatment of female sexual dysfunction. Dr. Castellanos is a chapter co-author with Dr. Hoffman of “Integrative Sexual Health,” part of a Dr. Andrew Weil series of textbooks about integrative medicine. She offers a deep-dive on women’s sexual responses which involve a complex interplay between physical and psychological factors. What health benefits does sex confer? What are common roadblocks to sexual enjoyment among women? Why was “female Viagra” a bust? What roles for testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, oxytocin, estrogen, progesterone? Why are birth control pills and antidepressants sexual downers? Can a woman’s thyroid get in the way of her sexual enjoyment? Do diet and supplements make a difference? Are nutraceuticals like Maca, ginseng and soy isoflavones helpful? What does “Mindfulness” have to do with sex? Click HERE for part 2.
Aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down—if you give your body the right support.
As we age, our cells build up damage and their ability to create energy drops. Mitopure, the revolutionary Urolithin A supplement from Timeline, fights back against the forces of time, restoring your energy at the source by igniting mitophagy—your body’s natural anti-aging pathway.
Boost your cellular energy, and enhance muscle strength and endurance—all without changing your diet or exercise routine.
I discovered Mitopure a few years ago, and have made it part of my regular routine.
