How to Turn Erectile Dysfunction into an Opportunity to Reconnect | Empowering Midlife Wellness
Erectile dysfunction or ED is incredibly common, affecting more than 70% of men by the time they reach age 70-yet we rarely talk about it. This week I’ll be exploring ways that (at the same time is seeking treatment) we can use this as an opportunity to learn how to spice up our sex life and communicate better than ever. I’ll be reflecting on my book “Sexually Woke” and the way the sexually woke women approached “problems” such as ED in a different way that leads to the growth and renewed connection.

Customer Reviews
Overall helpful info
I read a one-star review and I couldn’t believe anyone would rate this show that low. Most of the episodes are interesting and have great information about relevant topics to my age group. Susan talks not like your doctor but like your friend who is telling you what is available to you as we go through life changes and are worried about what is happening to our bodies like getting fat and hair falling out and other glamorous features of mid-age. I look forward to every episode, and I share some with my friends.
Life changing
This podcast was life-changing. I have been struggling with the typical menopause junk. Severe night sweats and hot flashes (at least 20x a day), mood swings and depression. My OB/GYN would not prescribe any form of estradiol. At one of my lowest points I was desperate and asked a new nurse practitioner for any type of relief. She casually recommended a compounding pharmacy that specializes in bio identical hormone replacement therapy. Thank you for all this information. Living in a rural area it is difficult to find a provider who is open to this type of HRT. I am taking your book to my next appointment!
I can’t listen anymore
I have listened for many weeks so this isn’t a one and review. What annoyed me first was how she raises her voice at so many of her sentences, like a question. I decided, I’ll keep listening because I’m in peri menopause and I want to learn from different doctors/people. I quit listening when she was complaining about “getting fat”. I thought it could be a good episode, but when she kept saying women “get fat” or “I thought I’d wake up at 200lbs”. I am not an “everyone can be healthy at any size” type of woman because obesity or over dieting will catch up to any person eventually, but a doctor talking like that I can’t tolerate. We all have fat, some people have more than others, but a thin person complaining about “getting fat” with a small increase in weight is terrible.
