This week, my fellow Board-Certified OBGYN and the director of the Brooke Army Medical Center OBGYN Residency program Dr. Erin Keyser is back for part two of our conversation.

Today, we're dovetailing from that conversation and we're talking all about sex.

Discover how Dr. Erin and I help our patients understand the sexual dysfunction that generally comes along with menopause, how we treat the physical symptoms, and why medication generally isn't the answer for a low libido.

Sam's here to take a deep dive into building a peaceful and conscious relationship with food.
