## Resource

In this episode of Hot For Your Health, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with her friend and colleague Dr. Juliana Hauser, a licensed couples and family therapist, renowned sex educator, and author of A New Position on Sex. Together, they reframe sexuality as a vital component of whole-person health, longevity, and self-development—not just a set of sex acts. Dr. Hauser introduces her holistic framework for understanding sexuality, including the importance of agency, connection, and self-trust, and explains why sexual health deserves the same attention as other medical "vital signs." The conversation dives into how culture, aging, hormones, and lack of education shape our relationship with desire and pleasure, especially in midlife and menopause. With compassion and clarity, they explore how learning to identify your personal "yums and yucks" can transform not only intimate relationships, but your relationship with yourself. This episode is an invitation to rethink sexuality as a lifelong pathway to authenticity, connection, and well-being. ••• Connect with Dr. Juliana Hauser: Website: https://dr-juliana.com/ Instagram: @drjulianahauser Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjulianamorris ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com Dr Vonda's Unbreakable Bone Health provides bone density and quality support by using ingredients that have over 30 years of clinical research, patented and are directly linked to increasing bone strength, bone density, and improving the health and integrity of the bone.
