LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

Do you feel like your sex life took a hit as you grew older? In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Podcast, I chat with Susan Bratton about sexual biohacking. Most women tend to let their sex lives die off as they grow older, especially if their body changes in ways where sex just doesn’t happen to feel the same way that it used to. From vaginal dryness to difficulty achieving orgasms, Susan talks about the different sexual rejuvenation treatments and protocols women can try out so that they can continue to enjoy intimacy with their partners even as their bodies change over time. We also chat about the importance of cultivating intimacy with a partner that you have been with for a long time. Susan shares her sex bucket list, among other tools, and explains how this tool can help light up that spark that may have been dormant between you and your partner for a while. Susan Bratton is an Intimacy Wellness Expert, Sexual Bio-Hacker, and self-proclaimed “Orgasmanaut”, who is a champion and advocate for all those who desire lifelong intimacy and passion. She’s a best-selling author and publisher of 44 books and programs including Sexual Soulmates, Relationship Magic, Revive Her Drive, Ravish Him, Steamy Sex EdTM, The Passion Patch, Hormone Balancing, and Hot To Trot.

Key Takeaways:

• One of the most common complaints women make once they reach menopause is that nothing feels good when it comes to love-making. The reason? They just can’t get aroused like they used to. Given that your vagina is a muscle and not a gland, it can’t lubricate itself without blood flow. Your vaginal tissue requires blood flow to seep through the layers of its tissue to wet the lining. But over time, as women reach menopause, the tissue thins out and tends to dry up. Thus, the importance of doing the work to bring blood flow back to your pelvic bowl - especially as you get older.
• The #1 reason why women don’t enjoy sex is that they’re engaging in intercourse BEFORE their bodies are properly prepared for it! See, men tend to be aroused very quickly and are ready for intercourse within a few minutes of foreplay. On the other hand, women need an average of 20 to 30 minutes of consistent stimulation to be fully aroused. As a result, this makes sex less enjoyable as women engage in intercourse BEFORE enough time has gone by to ensure adequate blood flow has made its way toward their vaginal tissue - which would properly lubricate their vagina. And as women get older and the vaginal tissue thins out, it takes even more time to...

What We Discuss:

(1:45) Breast implants and their ability to wreak havoc on the body.

(5:45) It can be difficult to diagnose implant infection because it’s not rigorously tested for.

(7:30) Breast implants over time can cause chronic inflammation and chronic inflammation affects all systems in the body, like our respiratory system, GI tract, immune system, and/or muscular system.

(14:20) Resolving the issue without explant surgery is rare.

(17:30) Fat transfers are ideal because body fat is a dynamic tissue, and your body reacts well to its own stem cells.

(21:30) Women concerned about longevity - what are the odds the implants will affect homeostasis?

(28:35) Breast implant illness is not just a surgical problem - it’s an inflammation and genetic issue.

(30:20) Cellcore supplementation before and after surgery to help detox and reduce inflammation. A holistic approach is essential.

(38:00) The use of peptides to help with recovery.

(42:00) Dr. Whitefield's approach to facial rejuvenation for natural results.

(51:48) Thank you to Dr. Whitefield and where to find more information. Make sure to order his coming book!

Key Takeaways:

• Breast implant illness presents atypical systems, causing some women to be gaslit by their doctors. A review of all bodily systems must be done to diagnose true breast implant illness. It’s not understood by a wide range of medical professionals, so being in tune with your symptoms is important. The most consistent symptoms are neurological like brain fog and memory loss. Difficulty swallowin...
