114 Sex Matters! with Dr. Jennifer Berman

It's a fact that good sexual experiences are crucial when it comes to our physical, mental and emotional health. Besides being a known source of pleasure, sex also boosts our immune system and improves our overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, despite scientific and psychological progress made in the field, there are still many women out there who are not able to enjoy sex and sexuality, and have to deal with the frustration this causes. In this episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I'm fortunate to be joined by Dr. Jennifer Berman, co-host on CBS' daytime talk show "The Doctors," world-renowned expert, NY Times best- selling author and one of the nation's leading authorities in the field of female sexual health. Dr. Berman emphasizes how important it is for women to dig deep in order to discover their very own sexual preferences, as well as being confident enough to share them with their partners. In this episode, Dr. Berman and I discuss the following: The current pandemic context as a chance to reconsider relationships and re-connect with what really matters. The concept of brain-genital connections, and the importance of developing these if you haven't already. How cannabis can help diminish the frontal cortex "inner talking" that usually makes it difficult for women to physically connect when having sex. Hormonal shifts that women experience during pre-menopause, and some natural medicines that are useful when having to cope with these. How likely it is to fall back in love with somebody.
