What if the very thing you've been taught to cover up… is the medicine you've been searching for?

In this intimate and eye-opening episode of the Sex and Bacon podcast, Sarah sits down with Kerry Kott, licensed physician of Chinese medicine, herbalist, and host of the Naked to Human podcast, for a raw conversation about nudity as healing. Together, they unpack how the simple act of being naked can transform shame, trauma, and body image into self-acceptance, confidence, and liberation.

From exploring nudity in nature, to the power of yoni sunning and grounding, Kerry shares her journey of moving beyond sexualization and judgment into wholeness and connection. They dive into why women carry so much shame about their bodies, how retreat spaces create safety and freedom, and why getting naked with intention can be one of the most profound healing experiences available.

Whether you've struggled with body image, experienced trauma, or just want to feel more at home in your own skin, this episode will challenge your conditioning and invite you to reimagine what's possible when you let go of the shame, and the clothes.
