 Dr. Liz Stadler, a pelvic health physical therapist at Sparrow Pelvic Health, joins Dr. Stephanie to explain how much your pelvic floor affects sex, pain, and everyday function — from painful intercourse and testicular pain to erectile and orgasm quality. They cover what a pelvic floor exam actually looks like, why "just do Kegels" is often the wrong advice, and simple techniques like breathing and sensory tools that can create real, lasting relief.

 Emma Galland, founder of Tantric Awakenings, joins Dr. Stephanie to explore male sexuality through a tantric lens — why most men are desensitized rather than "too sensitive," how disconnection from your own body (not your partner) is often the real root of low desire, and practical tools like breath work, pelvic floor relaxation, and mindful self-pleasure that can reshape a man's relationship with pleasure and performance. A candid, holistic conversation about connection, sensation, and stepping out of performance mode.

 Jeff Nuziard joins Dr. Stephanie to unpack what actually causes erectile dysfunction — and it's not just "blood flow." They break down the real mechanics behind ED, why testosterone alone won't fix it, why so many TRT and shockwave providers are getting it wrong, and how Regenmax's regenerative approach aims to treat the root cause instead of masking symptoms. A candid conversation about hormone mismanagement, the ED-suicide connection, and why men deserve real answers instead of another prescription.

What if the most painful relationship of your life was actually the greatest teacher you'll ever have?

In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards, spiritual counselor, international speaker, and author of The Venus Flytrap, about the toxic relationship that changed his life — and the patterns underneath it that most of us never see in ourselves.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why toxic relationships often "happen for you," not just to you — and how to actually get to that place without bypassing real pain
• How childhood patterns quietly repeat themselves in adult relationships, over and over, until they're addressed
• The difference between staying a victim and stepping into your own power — and why that shift is a process, not a single decision
• The "giver and taker" dynamic common in toxic relationships, and how givers slowly lose their own identity to keep the peace
• Why setting boundaries matters even when (especially when) you're afraid the other person will leave
• How shame and secrecy keep people stuck, and why naming what happened out loud is often the first real step forward
• What it actually looks like to rebuild your identity, routines, and self-worth after a relationship like this ends

This is a raw, honest conversation about heartbreak, self-recognition, and what's possible on the other side of a relationship that nearly broke you.

Why can't you get turned on even when you want to? The answer might be less about attraction and more about your nervous system.

In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Jessica Idowin, a licensed relationship and sex therapist trained in somatic trauma modalities including EMDR, about the science of connection, arousal, and what it actually takes to stay close to a long-term partner.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What EMDR therapy actually is, how it works, and why it's used for processing sexual trauma
• Why your brain needs to shift into a parasympathetic ("rest and digest") state before arousal can happen at all
• Simple transition rituals couples can use to move from "work brain" to connection after a stressful day
• Why mismatched libido often isn't about attraction — and the psychoeducation that helps both partners feel less rejected
• The "emotional bank account" concept, and small daily habits that build (or erode) relationship connection
• How to know if your relationship needs repair work vs. individual therapy vs. a "six month" trial period before deciding to separate
• Fun, low-pressure ways to reconnect sexually, including sensory exploration and yes/no/maybe lists
• Why taking orgasm or penetration "off the table" can actually improve intimacy

This is a grounded, practical conversation about what it really takes to stay emotionally and sexually connected over the long haul.

Why does almost no doctor ask about orgasm quality, arousal, or sexual satisfaction — even when they're asking about everything else?

In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Dr. Deborah Durst, a former ER physician and owner of Revitalize MD, about the massive gap in hormone and sexual wellness care, and why cash-based, comprehensive practices are stepping in to fill it.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why sexual health questions (orgasm quality, arousal, lubrication) should be standard intake questions — and almost never are
• Why hormone therapy can't be treated as an "add-on service" after a weekend course — and what real hormone management actually requires
• The real difference between perimenopause and menopause, and why "12 months without a period" isn't the full picture
• Why testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone can't be adjusted in isolation — and why compounded combo products are often a red flag
• The truth about compounding pharmacies: how they're regulated, why they've filled a 20+ year gap in women's hormone care, and why misinformation about their safety persists
• Why insurance-based medicine is built for emergencies, not prevention or quality of life — and how that shapes what your doctor can and can't offer you
• What a truly comprehensive hormone workup looks like (labs, symptoms, and how it all connects — thyroid, vitamin D, cortisol, and more)

If you've ever left a doctor's appointment with more questions than answers, this conversation explains why — and what better care can look like.

One-third of women have a higher sex drive than the average man — so why does no one talk about it?

In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Courtney Faye Long, an intimacy expert and sexuality educator with nearly 30 years of experience, about highly sexual women, the shame that keeps them silent, and what she calls "erotic abandonment" — the ache of wanting more intimacy than you're getting.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why the "men always want it more" narrative is a myth — and why so many high-desire women hide it
• The 8 types of erotic abandonment, including desire gaps, rushed warm-ups, mechanical sex, and unseen hunger
• Why women's bodies often need 20–45 minutes of arousal time — and why that's physiological, not just emotional
• How to navigate mismatched finish times in a relationship without shame or resentment on either side
• The subconscious roots of sexual shame, and how hypnotherapy can help clear it
• A simple daily "pleasure practice" to help women reconnect with their bodies and desires
• The physiology of feeling wanted: how desire itself increases blood flow, lubrication, nitric oxide, and vaginal tenting
• Why asking your partner "what makes you feel desired?" changes everything
• The role of exercise (cardio and resistance training) in boosting arousal through nitric oxide

If you've ever felt "too much" for wanting more intimacy, this episode is your permission slip.

Most of us went on birth control at 16 or 17 and never thought about it again. But what if it's been quietly affecting your mood, libido, bone density, and more — for decades — and no one told you?

In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Tierra Duncan, author of The Birth Control Illusion: Reclaiming Hormones, Health and Your Cycle, about the gaps in women's health education around hormonal contraception — and what informed consent should actually look like.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are "whole body" hormones, not just reproductive ones
• How synthetic hormones in birth control differ from your body's natural hormones — and why that matters
• The real link between birth control and mood disorders, low libido, vaginal dryness, and bone density loss
• Why the "period" you have on the pill isn't a real period (and the surprising marketing history behind it)
• How birth control is often prescribed for symptoms (acne, cramps, heavy periods) instead of addressing root causes
• Non-hormonal alternatives, including the fertility awareness method and copper IUD trade-offs
• Why postpartum birth control decisions deserve more caution and conversation
• How tracking your cycle can help you understand your energy, mood, and body better — without falling into rigid "cycle syncing" rules
• Why sleep, stress, and nutrition play a bigger role in hormone health than most people realize

This is the conversation so many women wish they'd had before they ever started birth control — and one worth having now, no matter your age or stage.
