Sometimes it seems men and women are doomed when it comes to finding alignment in sex and love. Our biological wiring is seemingly totally opposite. The myth that men want and enjoy sex more than women has been propagated for centuries. The argument that marriage mostly benefits women has also been falsely promoted. In this episode of Sex Talk Cafe I interview researcher, scientist and renowned author D. Liat Yakir, who shares her findings on the science of love in an easy to understand conversation. Learn how our biological and hormonal differences can actually be used to bring us closer together and to strengthen long term bonding between partners where love and sex can grow stronger over time, not weaker.

Psychedelic therapies are a revolutionary approach to resolving numerous issues most commonly delegated to the mental health arena. The realm of sex therapy is one of those realms where ketamine and other psychedelic therapies

can shed a new light for hope and healing of common sexual issues such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, challenges with reaching orgasm, communication,

and other common relationship challenges couples face.

In today’s episode I interview Dr. Stephen Radowitz, Chief

Medical Officer, Co-Founder, Nushama, a psychedelic wellness center located in Manhattan, NY.  Starting his career in New York during the peak of the opioid and AIDS crises, Dr. Steven Radowitz has a wealth of experience seeing the effects trauma and addiction can have on our

physical health. Dr. Radowitz joined Nushama, at the intersection of science and spirituality, to oversee and develop treatment modalities. He believes psychedelic medicine’s framework of neuroscience, mystical experience, and integration therapy is the future of mental wellness, and current solutions often fall short, treating symptoms without addressing underlying issues.    

Tune in to our juicy conversation to discover:

*Why ketamine is a groundbreaking psychedelic

therapy.       

*How ketamine works and how to know if you or a loved

one qualifies for this kind of therapy.

*Why psychedelic medicine’s is the antidote to current

solutions that often fall short.

*The problem with treating symptoms instead of root

causes.    

*How our relationships with ourselves can develop

and grow through psychedelic therapy.

*The most common sexual wellness issues that

ketamine therapy has been shown to alleviate.
