What’s Up With Women’s Sexual Health & Fertility?

Our guest, Dr. Lori Brotto, is a professor in the UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and a registered psychologist. She is the executive director of the Women’s Health Research Institute of BC located at BC Women’s Hospital and holds a Canada Research Chair in Women’s Sexual Health. She is the director of the UBC Sexual Health Laboratory where research primarily focuses on developing and testing psychological and mindfulness-based interventions for women with sexual desire and arousal difficulties and women with chronic genital pain.

On this episode we will be discussing our favourite topic of all: Sex!

We chat with Dr. Brotto about the pandemic's effect on sex with a partner (and without), dwindling libidos post-kids (good times), reframing the brain as the main sexual organ (especially for the ladies), arousal and desire in men vs. in women, arousal and fertility, and more!

This episode was created in partnership with the Women's Health Collective Canada in order to help raise awareness about the gap in women's health research. Learn more here: https://whcc.ca/
