This week, Dr. Heidi sits down with Natalie, the founder of Tabu, to talk about the part of women’s health that almost no one prepares us for — how cancer treatment, menopause, postpartum recovery, and hormonal changes impact intimacy, libido, comfort, and relationships. Together they dig into the reality of painful sex, dryness, low desire, hormone disruption, body confidence, and what really happens when partners don’t understand the changes women are going through.
Heidi and Natalie explore why intimacy isn’t “optional” for healthy aging and why maintaining a sexual wellness routine is crucial for tissue health, libido, and overall connection. They talk openly about the “use it or lose it” phenomenon, why scheduling intimacy actually works, and how to have honest conversations with partners without shame or embarrassment. This episode is about breaking the silence — intimacy after cancer or menopause is possible, and women deserve the tools and information that make it feel good again.
Today’s episode is sponsored by Tabu, a sexual wellness brand designed to support women through postpartum, menopause, cancer, and other major life stages. Their Golden Hour Kit Luxe includes a clinically backed, hormone-free vulva moisturizer, a heated wand massager modeled after a dilator that warms to 97°, an organic water-based lubricant, and a step-by-step guide to rebuilding comfort and desire. It’s a full-system approach to intimacy that’s doctor-informed, non-hormonal, and built for real women with real bodies that change over time.
