0:00.0	Welcome, you're on air with Ella, where we share simple strategies and tips from people who are doing something better than we are.
0:08.9	Whether it's wellness or relationships to just living better and with more energy or changing your mindset to accomplish more in your own life and succeeding however you define it.
0:18.2	This is where we share the best of what we're learning from the experts,
0:29.6	and we're learning more every day. Live better. Start now. Hey, you're on air with Ella, and today I am joined by Dr. Lori Batito. Her bio is so very long. I could keep you here all day just based on that,
0:35.7	but Dr. Lori, could you please tell us who you are and what you do?
0:39.7	In short, I'm a clinical psychologist and sex therapists. I've been practicing for over 34 years, almost 35 years.
0:49.3	I've spent my entire career talking about sexuality, bringing sex education, science-based, evidence-based
0:57.6	science education to the masses. And I started doing that first through radio. I'm based out of
1:03.9	Montreal, Canada. And then I started a podcast. So the name of the show's passion. I continued
1:09.3	with that. So it's passion with Dr.
1:17.4	Lori. They wrote a book called The Sex Bible for People Over 50. Between writing and television and radio and a full private practice, I'm pretty busy. Well, we are happy you are here.
1:25.0	And I want to talk about several things today. And the first thing I
1:28.0	wanted to talk to you about is sex and aging. Now, this audience, this podcast family that we have
1:34.3	here, comprises people of all different ages, Dr. Lori. But one of the things that I want to do today
1:41.6	is demystify some of the misconceptions about sex after a certain
1:46.8	age. And frankly, I don't even care what that age is. Sex is different in your 20s than it is in
1:52.0	your 30s than it is in your 40s and so on. And that's the conversation I'd love to have with you if you're
1:56.2	up for it. Absolutely. And I think instead of sex and aging, we could talk about just the evolution of sex,
2:02.8	or the evolution of our sexuality, because we're all different.
2:06.3	And different things happen to us at different times.
2:10.4	The only thing is we do know that post menopause, we know there's a role of hormones.
2:16.0	There is definitely hormones do play a role in all of this.
