She also highlights the importance of patience, exploring new ways of stimulation, and the use of lubricants and sex toys to enhance the sexual experience during these years.

    By comprehensively discussing the risks and benefits of both medical and surgical interventions, she empowers women to feel confident in their health decisions, Dr. Mathews’ practice is built on the belief that women deserve a physician who not only cares deeply but also equips them with the knowledge and confidence to take charge of their health.

Majelc ,

Very educational and fun

I really like this podcast, it’s super informative, but not in a dry way (pun intended)
The guests are experts and interesting to listen to! A wide range of interesting subjects is covered.
Took me a little while to warm up to her voice though, it’s quite unique, but that’s a personal preference I guess.
Love this podcast!
