What does it really mean to come home to your body after cancer?
In this powerful episode of S3x Is Medicine, Certified S*xologist Staci Steinbock opens up about their personal journey through ovarian cancer - and what it truly takes to reclaim pleasure, sensation, and connection to your body after treatment.
Cancer doesn’t just affect the body. It reshapes how you experience intimacy, desire, and your very sense of self. Yet s*xual wellness remains one of the most overlooked aspects of cancer survivorship care - leaving survivors without resources, language, or the confidence to advocate for their own needs.
Staci brings both lived experience and 20 years of expertise in human s*xuality to this honest, compassionate conversation about s*xual healing and self-empowerment.
Whether you’re a cancer survivor or not, this episode is one you won’t want to miss. Head to our site to listen now

Have you ever fallen into an intimacy trap? No, we’re not talking about love-bombing and emotional manipulation.
This week on S3x Is Medicine we’re talking about the three biggest intimacy traps that men fall into when trying to navigate the complex landscape of post-pardom, perimenopause, hormonal fluctuations and more with .
For many men, regular, fun s*x becomes a distant dream both after kids and through perimenopausal shifts for their partner. Rejection becomes so common that they don’t even try anymore, and the s*x they do have feels distant, uncomfortable, or very one-sided.
This was such an insightful conversation & such a vital one - head to our site for the full conversation!

What happens when shame goes unspoken? It gets louder.
In this episode of S*x Is Medicine, we’re joined by - a former Buddhist monk, meditation teacher, and ICF-certified executive coach who spent years blending ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science to help men overcome compulsive behaviours.
Jeremy’s path here is anything but ordinary. He earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Genetics & Genomics and was pursuing a PhD at Duke University before leaving academia to confront his own struggles with addiction, shame, and self-judgment. A period of monastic training in Myanmar deepened his mindfulness practice and marked the beginning of a lifelong commitment to growth and service.
Now, as founder of Unhooked Academy and host of the Unhooked Podcast, Jeremy is a leading voice in destigmatising p**n addiction - and he brings that same clarity and compassion to this conversation.
We go deep on how p**n rewires the brain for novelty and escalation, the Buddhist concept of the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts and what it reveals about modern compulsion, the “Rat Park” experiment and what it actually tells us about addiction, and why shame is fuel - not a cure.

From U.S. Marine to Somatic Intimacy Guide - Andre Lazarus has walked one of the most unexpected paths into intimacy work, and that’s exactly what makes this conversation so powerful.
You may recognise him from the UK series Virgin Island, where he worked as a professional surrogate partner alongside licensed therapists - showing the world that true intimacy work is built on safety, consent, and the courage to be real with yourself and another person.
Through his practice, Coming Closer, Andre supports men navigating midlife, trauma survivors reclaiming safety in their bodies, long-term couples reigniting passion, and everyone in between. His approach is rooted in the Somatica® Method - learning through the body, and replacing shame with curiosity.
In this episode, Andre introduces us to Embodied Intimacy - a somatic, relational, and deeply healing practice that is worlds away from the performance-driven, p**n-inspired version of s3x our culture normalises.

Our podcast is back🎉🎉🎉
And we’re opening the reboot of S3x Is Medicine with a conversation that goes straight to the root.
For this first episode are delighted to be joined by Anna Linde *xologist - a Swedish-Brazilian S*xologist (MSc), Dance & Movement Therapist, and Certified S*x Coach whose work sits at the intersection of s*xual liberation, embodiment, pleasure, and the sacred.
Anna’s published research an among the first of its kind in the world - explores the s*xual health of international adoptees from their own perspectives. In 2026, her focus turns to something that touches all of us: the Motherwound, and how the internalized voices and wounds we carry from our maternal lineage quietly shape our sensuality, capacity for self-love, and yes - even our relationship with money and success.
Anna guides us through the profound links between the Motherwound, s*xual energy, and financial abundance, drawing on Somatic S*xology and the embodied wisdom that lives within each of us.
