When most people think about metabolic health, they think of weight management and steady energy. But here’s what often gets overlooked: metabolic health also plays a major role in sexual function and fertility.
Our hormones depend on a delicate balance—and when blood sugar spikes and crashes, that balance gets thrown off. The result? Not just weight gain, mood swings, and fatigue, but also a higher risk of erectile dysfunction, infertility, reduced sexual pleasure, and more.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with experts on how sexual health can reflect your overall metabolic health.
Dr. Casey Means explains that blood flow, hormones, and psychology are the three pillars of good sexual function. She shares how diet impacts all three through a hormonal cascade, along with effects on nitric oxide and neurotransmitter production.
Dr. Rena Malik dives into the importance of a healthy sex life and the common challenges men and women face—from low libido and hormone imbalances to lifestyle factors that get in the way. She breaks down the science behind sexual health, including the roles of diet, exercise, and orgasms, and unpacks the key roadblocks that can prevent us from experiencing a truly fulfilling sex life.
