In “Orgasm Rx”, Heather and John launch into what promises to be the first of many conversations around another topic many people tiptoe around for any number of reasons. But as Heather accidentally discovered on the path to creating Rockstar Woman, orgasms are much more than exhilarating, fleeting moments; they can be in fact a fundamental contribution to our immune system function, health and longevity.John asks the questions once again in this episode, so Heather can introduce us to all the leaping-off points that science has to offer here. We're talking oxytocin floods, bone density boosts, and immune-system-rocking DHEA production. Plus, the magic of 2-A-G, an endocannabinoid that calms nerves and amps up the immune system. This isn't just about pleasure; it's about longevity, bone health, and overall well-being, backed by studies, even if they're often skewed towards male subjects.
Together they begin more than a few to-be-continued conversations about the historical baggage around female sexuality and orgasm, why not many people yet really talk about it from an overall health perspective despite modern scientific findings, and more.
“Orgasm Rx” is a reminder to each of us individually that fully claiming our sexual health is powerful for healthy, vibrant aging - partner or not. Time to get juicy, people!
Episode Highlights
I thought I had found the Holy Grail
"The reason we want to talk about this is because orgasms are some of the most amazing, absolutely freest form of longevity that I have discovered. When I discovered this, I thought I had found the Holy Grail... I was making this formula with these botanicals just to boost my immune system. I quickly discovered that these botanicals insanely heightened my orgasmic experience."
orgasm rx: will improve my immune system
"...then, getting deeper, I'm discovering, oh, my goodness, a really good orgasm, any orgasm, really, will help my body create things that will improve my bone density, that will improve my immune system. And basically, I came to understand that the female orgasm is such a catalyst for strength in the female body."
what makes us want to stay with you people forever more
"When the female body orgasms, we produce oxytocin, women specifically. This is our love hormone. This is what makes us want to stay with you people forever more. This in turn produces DHEA. This is like the most massive immune system boost because DHEA improves your bone health. It initiates tissue repair. It increases the activation of infection-fighting cells."
orgasm rx: part of history
"Some crazy stories exist that there aren't stories. These are parts of history. Women were seen as hysterical when they went through menopause or when their periods or something. And so what did the doctors do? They developed a form of therapy where they basically The doctors put their hands up their skirts and masturbated the women until they came. And then these women kept going to the doctor over and over. There weren't enough doctors to do this. So they created the vibrator. "
orgasm rx: don't shut yourself out
"Make it easier on yourself to experience that massive release and get the stress reduction and get the appetite regulation and the sleep balance and the mood balance and lower your blood pressure and lower your cortisol and make your bones strong... people in our Gen-X time of life who don't have partners, don't shut yourself out. The science indicates that this is potentially life-changing and life-saving. "
