Sex, Intimacy, and Longevity

A conversation with Susan Bratton

In this episode, I sat down with Susan Bratton for a conversation that is open, honest, and surprisingly eye-opening.

Susan is the CEO of Better Lover, Personal Life Media, and The20. She has spent over two decades teaching something most of us were never taught and were often discouraged from even talking about, which is pleasure-based sex education. She is also the author of 44 books and programs and reaches more than 300,000 readers through her newsletters, where she shares practical guidance on intimacy, vitality, and connection.

We went straight into a topic that still makes many people uncomfortable, even though it touches every relationship and every stage of life. Susan explains how intimacy, pleasure, and even orgasm can play a role in longevity and overall health, and why this part of life does not have to decline as we get older.

What I really appreciated about this conversation is how practical it became. We talked about real issues that so many people quietly deal with, like vaginal dryness and erectile dysfunction, and instead of vague advice, Susan breaks things down into what actually works. From simple things you can do at home, to mid-level solutions, all the way to more advanced options like PRP, laser therapies, and red light devices, it is all laid out in a way that feels accessible rather than overwhelming.

There is also a genuine show-and-tell element, where Susan walks through some of the tools and devices she personally uses. It is not theoretical. It is grounded, real, and very approachable.

We also explored intimacy in long-term relationships, including her own relationship with her husband, and touched on concepts like yoni and yoni massage in a way that feels natural and easy to understand rather than abstract or intimidating.

This is one of those conversations that quietly shifts how you think about things. It opens the door to a topic many people avoid, and replaces discomfort with understanding and curiosity.

If you are interested in supporting your body as you age, staying connected in your relationship, and approaching intimacy in a more informed and empowered way, this is absolutely worth a listen.

How to Break a Water Fast

As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast. One school of thought insists on breaking the fast with fruit, more specifically watermelon and then lots of veggies and more fruit. Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water. I would also recommend abstaining from alcohol for at least a few days so you're not overburdening your liver. Listen to your body. Don't force the food if yo...

240 Hour Water Fast Completed

That's 10 whole days for those of you who are bad at math. :) Wow, what an accomplishment. I can't believe that I had the willpower to stick to this. How did I know it was time to break the fast? Hunger returned with a vengeance last night. Also, weight loss has really slowed down in the last couple of days. I guess my body was running out of things to munch on. Well, I could still think of a few places but we have to trust the system. I woke up this morning very excited and started with some kefir to replenish some of the intestinal bacteria before my first meal. I'm now enjoying a nice cup of matcha tea with extra cream and a bit of bone broth protein (I swear it tastes like hot chocolate, yum!) and thinking about what my first proper meal will be. I still have some broth left so I was thinking of perhaps making some cream of mushroom soup and pretty much sticking to liquids today but the day is still young. Will keep you guys posted.
