2025 Ep 31 Sexology: Clinical sexologist Melissa Hadley Barrett
In a completely different field of science that I am used to, I sit down with clinical sexologist Melissa Hadley Barrett to talk about the science of sexual health and wellbeing. Melissa shares her expertise on common misconceptions around libido, erectile dysfunction, prostate cancer recovery, the role of hormones, and how lifestyle factors influence intimacy.
The discussion highlights the importance of open conversation, evidence-based care, and a broader understanding of sexual health as an essential component of overall quality of life. This episode is designed to educate, challenge stigma, and provide listeners with a clearer perspective on the science behind sex, relationships and their own bodies, because things change when you get older.
