Is it possible to cook great meals in minutes?

Yes indeed, says our friend and best-selling cookbook author, Melissa Joulwan.

Her latest book, Well Fed Weeknights: Complete Paleo Meals in 45 Minutes or Less, shows busy people like us how to make crazy-delicious meals without losing our minds in the kitchen.

Our guest this week is Dr. John Gray, author of the mega-bestseller Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. He literally wrote the textbook for my wife Alyson’s communication class in college.

His new book, Beyond Mars and Venus, shows how women can get back in touch with their feminine side and actually boost a man's testosterone levels.

In today's episode of the show, John will tell us how we can bring passion back to our relationships by restoring our hormonal balance.
