About this episode
Sex is an integral part of a healthy life. At least, it should be… Yet, when we want to treat any problems related to sex, most doctors routinely prescribe hormones and drugs without digging deeper for real answers. Dr. Keesha Ewers talks intimately about her journey that began as a quest to find answers to her rheumatoid arthritis at age 30, eventually leading her to the world of integrative medicine and becoming a renowned expert in sexology in this very special Living 4D episode.

(37:40) Critical thinking, discussion and doing what’s right for you are becoming taboos in lieu of polarized judgments. (43:55) “Fetishes come from a place where there's been something on that libido map where there is an arrested development and trauma.” (55:19) The real concept of Tantra — rejection of the caste system — is far different than what Western cultures perceived it to be. (57:44) Some self-destructive behaviors and practices — due to a lack of cultural approval — are unconscious ones too. (1:00:06) The anti-aging movement is a lot like perpetual adolescence and arresting the development of grown adults.
