Episode 58: If Sex is so Good for Me, Why Don't I Have More of It?

Higher Health with Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers

When it comes to health and longevity, intimacy and connection are often overlooked—but they’re just as critical to Higher Health as the food we eat and the way we move. In this episode I’m joined by our new resident "Sexpert", the incredible Susan Bratton, affectionately known as the "Intimacy Expert to Millions," to explore deep connection, intimacy, and health. Susan shares her wisdom on how to nurture lifelong passion and connection - and why this has everything to do with your ability to be healthy. Susan believes passion is ageless—and she’s on a mission to help us all reclaim our human right to pleasurable connection. Her unique combination of courage, scientific knowledge, and practical advice helps us achieve the connection and pleasure they deserve, no matter our stage of life. In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why intimacy and connection are vital components of overall health and optimal longevity.
• If sex or intimacy isn't happening at all or the way we want it to, why?
