The Sol Women are officially in season 5 of the podcast! This episode was so much fun for the women to host. They welcome Christine DeLozier, acupuncturist, herbalist, and author of Diet for Great Sex: Food for Male and Female Sexual Health. Her book dives deep into the true catalysts of what makes our bodies fire on all cylinders and the best steps to maintain them through diet for as long as possible. Trigger warning: this episode speaks on sex as well as healthy food consumption and the topic of body weight and diet is discussed. The women go into what it means to have great sex, how blood flow, diet, and hormones all have a play into creating the best possible sex. Christine spills some great tips on what the best foods and worst foods for sex are and why, she also shares a date night sex menu! This episode sheds light on the difference between the societal focus on the male and female experience, their differences biologically when it comes to hormones, and how the function of testosterone plays such a large roll in both. Christine largely focuses on kindness and what it means to be a giver in a relationship, both in and out of the bedroom, and the importance of focusing on your partner's pleasure. She also touches a bit on traditional Chinese medicine and how that factors into natural and healthy eating habits, as well as how far away Western culture has moved from our primal instincts with food. The women discussed the controversial term "diet" and what that actually means in the context of Christine's book. "It's not about beating your body into submission, it's not about restriction or diet culture," is a quote from this episode. The women make it known that it's all about listening to their bodies and learning which foods are higher in nutrients and will benefit us long term. This conversation is about breaking the stigma of what healthy really means and what it looks like.
