Why is it so important for both men and women to understand the physiology of sexual intimacy?

In this eye-opening episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Jamie and Teresa are joined by Dr. Liz Jones, a leading pelvic floor physical therapist from Bismarck, ND, to unpack one of the most sacred, yet misunderstood, aspects of the human experience: sexual intimacy.

Dr. Liz brings 20 years of expertise treating complex men’s and women’s pelvic health conditions at Jones Physical Therapy, the clinic she co-founded with her husband, Joe. Together they’ve helped countless patients find healing in areas often clouded by shame, fear, or misinformation.

This episode dives into both female and male pelvic floor therapy, with a special emphasis on common but often overlooked concerns in men, including:

Erectile dysfunction

Varicoceles

Internal and external hemorrhoids

Chronic pelvic pain

Pain or fear related to intimacy

For many men, these conditions go unspoken and untreated, often leading to emotional and relational strain. Dr. Liz helps normalize these issues and provides practical, hope-filled insight into how pelvic floor therapy can restore function and confidence. She is one of the few physical therapists who treats internal hemorrhoids and has developed a reputation for tackling difficult cases with compassion and clinical excellence.
