Sex has long been regarded a taboo topic, but it’s actually an essential part of human health that can impact your life in a multitude of ways. Your sexual experiences and performance can shed light on your cardiovascular fitness, affect your mental health, and so much more. But sadly, there’s a lot of misunderstanding and lack of education when it comes to sexual health.

On this compilation episode of The Model Health Show, I’m bringing you conversations from two powerhouse experts in the field of sexual wellness. Dr. Jolene Brighten is a board-certified endocrinologist and clinical sexologist, and Dr. Rena Malik is a board-certified urologist and sexual health expert. You’re going to hear the latest science around pleasure, orgasms, and sexual function.

You’re going to discover how your sexual function can reflect what’s happening inside your body, how to give and get more pleasure, what the health benefits of orgasms are, and some anatomy lessons you probably didn’t get in your sex ed class. I hope you enjoy this compilation episode! In this episode you’ll discover:
