For too long, women’s sexual health has been overlooked, misunderstood, or simply not talked about. In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with world-renowned sexual health researcher Dr. Lori Brotto to unpack the science of desire, what really changes during menopause, and why so many women have been led to believe they’re “broken” when they’re not. We explore spontaneous vs. responsive desire, why low desire is often deeply misunderstood, and how mindfulness may be one of the most powerful and overlooked tools for improving sexual well-being.

We also dive into pain with sex, the role of hormones and relationships, and how women (and clinicians) can start having more open, shame-free conversations about sexual health. This is a practical, compassionate, and deeply validating episode that sheds light on a topic that impacts quality of life in profound ways but rarely gets the attention it deserves.

Whether you’re postpartum, in midlife, or just want to feel stronger and more confident in your body, this conversation guide you to understand your core, your workouts, and your long-term health.

Meet Michelle, a rural family physician who spent nearly three decades caring for her community while her own health slowly took a back seat. Between long shifts, motherhood, and the loss of her fitness community during COVID, she found herself feeling isolated, deconditioned, and unsure how to move forward. As menopause began to shift her body in ways she didn’t recognize, she knew something had to change—but didn’t know where to start.

Michelle shares how she rebuilt her strength, confidence, and energy—achieving things she never thought possible, like a 175 lb back squat at 56. We talk about navigating menopause, recovering from surgery without losing progress, and what it actually looks like to prioritize yourself in a demanding career. Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how the odds feel stacked against you, it’s possible to feel strong and confident in your body as a busy woman in medicine.
