Send us Fan Mail  Emma Galland, founder of Tantric Awakenings, joins Dr. Stephanie to explore male sexuality through a tantric lens — why most men are desensitized rather than "too sensitive," how disconnection from your own body (not your partner) is often the real root of low desire, and practical tools like breath work, pelvic floor relaxation, and mindful self-pleasure that can reshape a man's relationship with pleasure and performance.

Send us Fan Mail Why can't you get turned on even when you want to? The answer might be less about attraction and more about your nervous system. In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Jessica Idowin, a licensed relationship and sex therapist trained in somatic trauma modalities including EMDR, about the science of connection, arousal, and what it actually takes to stay close to a long-term partner.

Send us Fan Mail Why does almost no doctor ask about orgasm quality, arousal, or sexual satisfaction — even when they're asking about everything else? In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Dr. Deborah Durst, a former ER physician and owner of Revitalize MD, about the massive gap in hormone and sexual wellness care, and why cash-based, comprehensive practices are stepping in to fill it. What you'll learn in this episode: Why sexual health questions (orgasm quality, arousal, lubrication) should be standard intake questions — and almost never areWhy hormone therapy can't be treated as an "add-on service" after a weekend course — and what real hormone management actually requiresThe real difference between perimenopause and menopause, and why "12 months without a period" isn't the full pictureWhy testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone can't be adjusted in isolation — and why compounded combo products are often a red flagThe truth about compounding pharmacies: how they're regulated, why they've filled a 20+ year gap in women's hormone care, and why misinformation about their safety persistsWhy insurance-based medicine is built for emergencies, not prevention or quality of life — and how that shapes what your doctor can and can't offer youWhat a truly comprehensive hormone workup looks like (labs, symptoms, and how it all connects — thyroid, vitamin D, cortisol, and more)If you've ever left a doctor's appointment with more questions than answers, this conversation explains why — and what better care can look like. 🎙️ Guest: Dr. Deborah Durst, founder of Revitalize MD  🔗 YouTube: Deborah Durst MD Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com [email protected] Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: [email protected] #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?

In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Courtney Faye Long, an intimacy expert and sexuality educator with nearly 30 years of experience, about highly sexual women, the shame that keeps them silent, and what she calls "erotic abandonment" — the ache of wanting more intimacy than you're getting.

Send us Fan Mail Most of us went on birth control at 16 or 17 and never thought about it again. But what if it's been quietly affecting your mood, libido, bone density, and more — for decades — and no one told you? In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Tierra Duncan, author of The Birth Control Illusion: Reclaiming Hormones, Health and Your Cycle, about the gaps in women's health education around hormonal contraception — and what informed consent should actually look like. What you'll learn in this episode: Why estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are "whole body" hormones, not just reproductive onesHow synthetic hormones in birth control differ from your body's natural hormones — and why that mattersThe real link between birth control and mood disorders, low libido, vaginal dryness, and bone density lossWhy the "period" you have on the pill isn't a real period (and the surprising marketing history behind it)How birth control is often prescribed for symptoms (acne, cramps, heavy periods) instead of addressing root causesNon-hormonal alternatives, including the fertility awareness method and copper IUD trade-offsWhy postpartum birth control decisions deserve more caution and conversationHow tracking your cycle can help you understand your energy, mood, and body better — without falling into rigid "cycle syncing" rulesWhy sleep, stress, and nutrition play a bigger role in hormone health than most people realizeThis is the conversation so many women wish they'd had before they ever started birth control — and one worth having now, no matter your age or stage. 🎙️ Guest: Tierra Duncan, author, educator, and women's health advocate  🔗 Book: The Birth Control Illusion (Amazon, Audible, Kindle, Barnes & Noble) | YouTube & Instagram: @tierraduncanauthor | Website: tierraduncan.com Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com [email protected] Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: [email protected] #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?

Send us Fan Mail What if the key to better sex, real consent, and healing from trauma isn't in your head — it's in your body? In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Sara Perry, a somatic sex educator and sexological body worker (and owner of Haven Space Coaching), about what it actually means to reconnect with sensation, desire, and pleasure — and why so much of our sex education leaves this out entirely. What you'll learn in this episode: What "somatic" really means, and why healing happens through the body, not just the mindWhy teaching consent without teaching self-awareness leaves people unable to identify what they actually wantThe "spectrum of response" — how yes, no, and maybe have far more nuance than we're taughtWhy safe words often go unused, and better ways to communicate "slow down" or "let's shift" in the momentWhy being told "no" by a partner is actually a sign of trust and safety, not rejectionHow the body can respond sexually even during non-consensual or traumatic experiences — and why that doesn't mean anything about the personWhat sexological body work is, how it differs from pelvic floor therapy, and who it can help (including scar tissue, discordant ejaculation, and reconnecting with a body that's changed after illness or surgery)A simple at-home somatic exercise anyone can try todayThis is a conversation about slowing down, tuning in, and giving yourself permission to feel — exactly as you are, in this moment. 🎙️ Guest: Sara Perry, somatic sex educator & sexological body worker, Haven Space Coaching  🔗 Website: havenspacecoaching.com | TikTok & Instagram: @havenspacecoaching Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com [email protected] Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: [email protected] #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?

Send us Fan Mail What if your low libido, ED, or fatigue isn't a hormone problem — it's a cellular energy problem? In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Dr. Jess Armine, a functional medicine practitioner with nearly 50 years of clinical experience specializing in long COVID, post-viral syndromes, and complex chronic illness. Dr. Armine breaks down why so many patients "do everything right" — fix their hormones, follow the protocol — and still don't feel better, and what's actually happening underneath at the cellular level. What you'll learn in this episode: Why mitochondria (your body's energy factories) drive far more than energy — including sexual functionThe "cell danger response": how toxins, infections, and even emotional trauma can all trigger the same cellular dysfunctionWhy sexual arousal requires high energy output and a calm nervous system — and what happens when your body doesn't have eitherWhy hormone replacement alone sometimes "stops working" over time if root causes aren't addressedThe connection between long COVID, chronic fatigue, and sexual dysfunction in both men and womenSimple, practical steps for supporting cellular health: liposomal vitamins, gut health, digestive enzymes, and moreWhy treating the whole picture (hormones + nervous system + immune system + cellular energy) gets better results than treating one lab value in isolationIf you've been doing "everything right" and still don't feel like yourself, this episode explains what might actually be missing. 🎙️ Guest: Dr. Jess Armine, functional medicine practitioner  🔗 Website: DrJessarmine.com | YouTube: @DrJessarmine | Instagram: @DrJessearmine724 Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com [email protected] Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: [email protected] #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?

In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP sits down with Jocelyn Silva, a sexual empowerment and intimacy coach whose work centers on what she calls "relentless authenticity." After surviving the fallout of her own infidelity and rebuilding her life through SLAA (Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous) recovery, Jocelyn has spent over 15 years helping thousands of people release sexual shame, rediscover desire, and build relationships grounded in truth. What you'll learn in this episode: Why intimacy cannot exist without authenticity — and how to tell if you're holding backHow growing up in a shame-based household shapes adult sexuality, and how to unlearn itThe real reason couples avoid talking about sex (hint: it's not lack of desire)Jocelyn's "playground" framework for setting clear boundaries so sex feels safe, not stressfulWhy you should be having "state of the union" conversations about your sex life every 6–12 monthsHow aging, health changes, and life stages (kids, illness, caregiving) constantly reshape intimacy — and why the conversation is never "one and done"A simple way to give and receive feedback about sex without shame or hurt feelingsThis conversation is a masterclass in communication — for anyone who's ever avoided a hard conversation with their partner because it felt easier not to have it. 🎙️ Guest: Jocelyn Silva, sexual empowerment & intimacy coach  🔗 Instagram: @iamjocelynsilva | Website: jocelynsilva.com Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com [email protected] Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: [email protected] #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?

Send us Fan Mail She was one of the first reproductive acupuncturists in North America. She worked with over 10,000 infertile couples. And then she built an AI that beat her by 6%. In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP sits down with Kirsten Karchmer — reproductive health pioneer, author of Seeing Red, and founder of Conceivable — for a conversation that will make you rethink everything you know about your period, your hormones, and what fertility really means. Kirsten spent 20 years in clinic before a single statistic changed everything: less than 3% of couples can afford fertility treatment. So she built something better, and it works. In a pilot of 105 women, with zero human interaction and no IVF, her AI app increased the likelihood of natural conception by 150 to 260% in just four months — for $15 a month. What you'll learn in this episode: Why tracking ovulation with a fertility monitor may actually increase your miscarriage risk — and what to do insteadWhat a "conceivable cycle" looks like (most women have never had one and don't know it)Why 80% of the 16,000 women Kirsten surveyed had energy levels of 6 or below — and why that matters enormously for fertilityThe connection between fatigue, exhaustion, and miscarriage that almost nobody is talking aboutHow PMS is not normal — and how 85% of women can have almost none of it within 90 daysWhat your menstrual blood is actually telling you about your liver, hormones, and overall healthWhy the app uses a virtual AI care team (nutritionist, therapist, data analyst, and more) to address fertility from every angle simultaneouslyThe forever chemicals in your skincare products that are quietly disrupting your hormonesHeart rate variability, the vagus nerve, and why getting out of fight-or-flight is the missing piece for so many womenWhat happened when Kirsten got accidentally pregnant at 47 with an FSH of 23 (yes, really)Find Kirsten and Conceivable: 🌐 conceivable.com — sign up for early access and the personalized supplement quiz📖 Seeing Red — available wherever books are sold📅 Navigating perimenopause, hormone imbalances, or sexual health concerns?
