What if your sex life is one of the most honest health reports your body will ever give you? We tend to treat everything below the belly button as a mystery, something private and separate from the rest of our health. But your genitals are just another body part, and when they're working well, it means your blood flow, hormones, nerves, and brain are working well too.

Dr. Rena Malik, a board-certified urologist, pelvic surgeon, and sexual health expert, to talk about her new book, The Hard Truth. We explore why erectile dysfunction can show up two to five years before heart disease, why most women need about 25 minutes to become fully aroused, and the four pillars that form the foundation of a healthy sex life: fuel, strength, environment, and confidence. This is your permission to stop treating sex as an afterthought. Sexual health is health.

What we explore:

- Why erectile dysfunction can be an early warning sign of heart disease and poor blood flow.

- How diet, exercise, pelvic floor health, stress, and sleep affect testosterone and libido.

- How to talk to your partner about sex and intimacy without starting a fight.

- How vaginal estrogen, lubricants, and libido treatments can ease painful sex after menopause.
