If your erections are changing, it may not be “just aging.”

Rita De Michele sits down with Dr Arthur Burnett II, a Johns Hopkins urologist whose research helped make treatments like Viagra possible, to explain why erectile dysfunction can be an early signal of bigger health issues like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. They also unpack common testosterone misconceptions, when men should ask for PSA screening, and how modern prostate cancer care can protect long term sexual function. This is a practical, straight talking conversation to help men advocate for their health earlier, not later.

Rita De Michele sits down with Mary Petto to unpack why so many women feel stuck in stress loops, anxiety patterns, and emotional overwhelm even when they logically know they are safe. This conversation explores how the body and inner mind can stay locked in survival mode, how early experiences shape the meaning we attach to situations, and why two people can live through similar events but carry completely different emotional patterns.
