Sexual health isn’t optional — it’s an essential component of longevity. Our Senior Advisor on Women’s Health, Dr. Sally Greenwald, is reframing how medicine approaches this core aspect of well-being. Research shows that sexual activity and orgasm influence hormone regulation, immune response, vascular health, and mood stability — yet for many women, these topics are rarely addressed in medical settings. At Private Medical, we view sexual health not as a side note, but as a vital sign. 🎧 Hear more from Dr. Greenwald on Peter Attia’s Drive podcast: https://lnkd.in/gnCcky4A
