    The PGspot - Green Flags of Healthy Relationships

    We spend so much time talking about the red flags we should avoid in relationships that we often overlook the qualities that truly help love thrive. In this episode, we're shifting the focus to the green flags; the behaviors, attitudes, and patterns that create emotional safety, trust, and lasting connection. We'll explore what healthy communication really looks like, why conflict doesn't have to be something to fear, and how respect, curiosity, accountability, and emotional responsiveness strengthen intimacy over time. Whether you're dating, married, or simply reflecting on your own relationships, this conversation will help you recognize the signs of a partnership that supports growth instead of draining it. Healthy relationships aren't perfect. They're built by two imperfect people who are willing to learn, repair, and choose each other again and again. Join me as we unpack the green flags that matter most and discover how to cultivate a relationship where both partners feel seen, heard, valued, and loved. I would love to hear your feedback about today's episode, as well as any questions or topics that you would like addressed in future episodes.

    The PGspot - Reproductive Freedom and Population Debates

    World Population Day often sparks conversations about birth rates, population growth, and demographic change. But behind the statistics lies a more fundamental question: who gets to decide whether, when, and under what circumstances to have children? In this episode, we explore the complex history of contraception and family planning, from the expansion of reproductive freedom to the troubling influence of eugenic policies that shaped public health initiatives in the twentieth century. We'll examine how reproductive justice emerged as a framework that goes beyond access to contraception, emphasizing the right to have children, not have children, and the right to parent in safe and supportive communities. We'll also discuss how modern concerns about declining birth rates, aging populations, and economic growth intersect with reproductive decision-making, and why factors like affordable childcare, paid parental leave, accessible healthcare, housing security, and economic stability often influence family planning choices as much as biology itself. Join us for a nuanced conversation about population, policy, history, and the importance of protecting reproductive autonomy in a rapidly changing world. I would love to hear your feedback about today's episode, as well as any questions or topics that you would like addressed in future episodes.

    The PGspot - The Pink Pill Paradox: Sex, Science, and Double Standards

    When it comes to sexual health treatments, why have men historically had more options than women? In this episode of The PG Spot, Dr. Patty Jalomo explores the fascinating and controversial journey of Addyi (flibanserin), the first FDA-approved medication for acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women. We'll dive into the years-long approval process, the advocacy movement that challenged the FDA, and the debates surrounding safety, efficacy, and gender equity in medicine. Along the way, we'll examine a larger question: Why has women's sexual health research lagged behind men's, and how has that affected treatment options for low desire and sexual dysfunction? Whether you're a healthcare professional, a woman struggling with low desire, or simply curious about the intersection of science, policy, and sexual health, this episode sheds light on the ongoing effort to close the gap in sexual medicine and ensure that women's sexual well-being receives the attention it deserves. Join us as we explore the story behind the "little pink pill" and what it reveals about the future of women's sexual health.

    The PGspot - Sexual Desire and ADHD in Women: What Nobody Talks About

    Sexual desire and ADHD in women is rarely talked about openly, but it affects far more people than most realize. In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between ADHD, dopamine, sensory processing, emotional regulation, burnout, and intimacy. From fluctuating libido and novelty-seeking to shutdown, overwhelm, and relationship challenges, this conversation breaks down the experiences many women have silently struggled to understand. We also discuss why ADHD sexuality is not one-size-fits-all, how hormones and stress can intensify symptoms, and what practical strategies may help women reconnect with desire without shame or self-blame. Whether you have ADHD yourself, love someone who does, or simply want a deeper understanding of women’s sexual health and neurodiversity, this episode opens the door to a conversation that has been missing for far too long. I would love to hear your feedback about today's episode, as well as any questions or topics that you would like addressed in future episodes.

    The PGspot - Beyond the Scale: GLP-1's, Libido, and Identity

    In this episode of The PGspot, we explore the complex and often overlooked effects of GLP-1 medications beyond weight loss. While these treatments are transforming the landscape of obesity care, their impact doesn’t stop at the number on the scale. We dive into the nuanced connections between GLP-1 use, changes in libido, and the evolving sense of identity that can accompany rapid physical transformation. How do shifting hormones, body image, and self-perception influence intimacy and relationships? What happens when the external changes outpace the internal adjustment? This conversation unpacks the psychological, emotional, and relational layers of weight loss in a way that goes far deeper than before-and-after photos. If you’ve ever wondered how weight loss medications intersect with sexuality, confidence, and identity, this episode offers insight, validation, and a more holistic perspective on what it really means to change your body, and yourself.

    The PGspot - Five Ways We Sabotage Intimacy

    Intimacy doesn’t usually fall apart overnight, it fades in the small, everyday ways we show up (or don’t) in our relationships. In this episode, we’re breaking down five common ways we unintentionally sabotage intimacy and what we can start doing differently. From letting flirting and playfulness disappear, to expecting sex to “just happen,” to avoiding the conversations that actually bring us closer…these patterns are more common than you think. And the truth is, most of us were never taught how to nurture intimacy in a sustainable, connected way. We’ll also talk about why focusing on performance over connection can backfire, how unspoken resentment quietly erodes desire, and why communication is one of the most powerful (and underused) tools in our relationships. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, stuck in routine, or unsure how to reconnect with your partner, this episode is for you. Because awareness is the first step…but action is what creates change. I would love to hear your feedback about today's episode, as well as any questions or topics that you would like addressed in future episodes. Although "Fanmail" doesn't allow for me to respond back directly, I am happy to address any questions in upcoming episodes.

    The PGspot - Beyond Monogamy: What the Research Says About Consensual Non-Monogamy

    In this episode, we explore what research actually says about consensual non-monogamy (CNM). While monogamy is often treated as the default relationship model, studies over the past two decades have examined how some people successfully build ethical, transparent relationships outside of that structure. We’ll look at the communication strategies, boundary-setting practices, and emotional skills that researchers have found are common in successful CNM relationships. We’ll also discuss topics like jealousy, trust, and relationship agreements—and what these findings might reveal about healthy relationship dynamics more broadly. Whether you're simply curious, skeptical, or exploring alternative relationship structures yourself, this episode offers a research-informed look at how and why consensual non-monogamy can work for some people.
