    How Orgasms Could Add Years to Your Life, with Dr. Diane Mueller

    You may do intermittent fasting, optimize your diet, take your supplements, and prioritize sleep. But there's one powerful longevity tool that almost no one in the wellness space is talking about. What if the secret to living longer, reducing inflammation, and protecting your heart wasn't in a bottle or a biohack, but something your body already knows how to do? In this episode, Dr. Diane Mueller, a board-certified sexologist with dual doctorates in naturopathic medicine and acupuncture, reveals the surprising science behind how orgasms can add years to your life. Dr. Mueller explains how oxytocin (the hormone released during orgasm and cuddling) protects your cardiovascular system, resets your stress response, and reduces inflammation. If you're looking for evidence-based strategies to enhance your longevity while also improving your relationships and quality of life, this conversation will change how you think about pleasure and health.

    How Postmenopausal Hormone Changes Affect Your Vision, with Dr. Meenal Agarwal

    Postmenopausal changes can alter your perception of what is normal for your vision, sometimes in ways that go unseen.
