Episode 2, Season II | Sex & Intimacy Series: “Pleasure, Not Shame - STD Truths, Healing, and Sexual Empowerment with The Yoni Nutritionist”
Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC.
Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind’s complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.
Episode 2, Season II | “Pleasure, Not Shame - STD Truths, Healing, and Sexual Empowerment with The Yoni Nutritionist”
In this powerful and much-needed episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley is joined by a trailblazer in the world of sexual wellness—Adrienne, better known as The Yoni Nutritionist. As a vaginal health nutritionist and sexual health advocate, Adrienne specializes in helping women get to the root of chronic yeast infections and supports both women and men in understanding and managing herpes (HSV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) diagnoses with compassion, knowledge, and zero shame.
Together, Dr. Hensley and Adrienne bust some of the biggest myths surrounding STIs and STDs—like the false belief that your sex life is over after a diagnosis or that these infections only happen to people who are “irresponsible.” Spoiler: they don’t, and it isn’t. With over two-thirds of the population carrying HSV-1 and a staggering number of individuals living with HPV unknowingly, it’s time we normalize the conversation around sexual health and stop tying our self-worth to a lab result.
Adrienne walks us through what informed, empowered intimacy looks like after an STI/STD diagnosis. From navigating conversations with partners to understanding the role of nutrition and stress in flare-ups, this episode offers both emotional reassurance and practical steps. Whether you’re currently dealing with symptoms, supporting a partner, or simply want to learn more about your own body, this is the kind of sexual health education we all should have received.
Listeners will also gain insight into the often-overlooked connection between the gut microbiome and vaginal health, and how dietary and lifestyle changes can play a significant role in both prevention and symptom management. Adrienne offers a refreshing, body-positive perspective that invites us to release shame, reclaim our sexual agency, and embrace the truth: having an STI or STD does not make you “damaged goods.” You are still fully worthy of love, desire, and pleasure.
You won’t want to miss this incredibly affirming and informative conversation. To connect with Adrienne and learn more about her work, visit her at www.yoninutritionist.com or follow her on Instagram or TikTok at @yoninutritionist.
