Dr. Lori Brotto joins Sex Care is Self Care for a powerful conversation on women’s sexual health, pleasure, and the science behind sexual wellness. Hosted by Patty Brisben, this episode explores how stress, trauma, menopause, desire, and communication all shape women’s sexual well-being—and why sexual health must be treated as whole-person health.From her early research journey to becoming a leading voice in women’s sexual health, Dr. Brotto shares how mindfulness-based interventions transformed care for women experiencing pain, low desire, and disconnection from their bodies. She breaks down common misconceptions around libido, lubricants, aging, and pleasure, while emphasizing that healthy sexuality is defined by the individual—not by societal expectations.Together, Patty and Dr. Brotto discuss the urgent need for better provider education, increased research funding, trauma-informed care, and accessible support for women navigating sexual health concerns. This episode is both educational and empowering—a reminder that pleasure matters, communication matters, and asking for help is a form of self-care.Because sex care is self-care—and women deserve evidence-based care, better conversations, and better outcomes.
