In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, we had the pleasure of speaking with sexual health and hormone expert, Dr. Anna Cabeca. Dr. Anna dives deep into the often-overlooked aspects of sexual health, emphasizing the importance of nurturing relationships, effective communication, and aftercare. We explore the intricate links between vaginal and overall health, how stress impacts sexual desire, and the crucial roles of oxytocin and testosterone. She also discusses practical solutions for common issues like bladder leakage and 'honeymoonitis,' and introduces her innovative product, Julva, designed to enhance vulvar health naturally. We also touch on the broader benefits of intimacy and pleasure for well-being, debunk myths about hormonal treatments, and underline the significance of a holistic approach to women's health.

In this interview, we discuss:

• How sexual health is integral to overall health and wellbeing

• Why oxytocin is the single most important (and often least appreciated) hormone

• The best way to increase oxytocin production

• How to switch out of stress mode and into 'ready for intimacy' mode

• Why sexual desire isn't the best measure of sexual health

• Some of the most common blocks to sexual health, and how to address them

• Why estrogen-containing vaginal creams aren't the best option

• Resources for you and your clients for optimizing sexual health
