Summary

This episode is brought to you by Joymode, Strong Coffee Company and Cured Nutrition.

In this high-energy and revealing episode, intimacy expert Dr. Susan Bratton, PhD joins us to explain why great sex is not just pleasurable — it's powerful. We explore how optimizing your sex life is the "fourth health factor" that most high achievers overlook, yet it plays a critical role in cognitive sharpness, hormone balance, longevity, and emotional resilience. Susan breaks down the science of pleasure, the importance of blood flow and nitric oxide, the difference between male and female arousal timing, and why communication is the foundation of great sex. From libido botanicals to red light therapy to "sexual biohacking," this episode is a no-BS guide to upgrading your health, relationships, and self-confidence — inside and outside the bedroom.

"Sex is the fourth health factor. The longer you have hot, orgasmic sex, the longer, healthier, and happier your life is."

0:00.0	You have to watch the video, everybody, because you got to see this this hot mess we got going on here that you have very nicely organized.
0:07.0	She brought toys. She brought gifts. She brought goodies.
0:09.8	Doing a deep dive into sexual health, pleasure, performance, intimacy, but I think a unique spin for general well-being, maybe unlocking some other areas that, for whatever reason, have felt maybe
0:21.8	oppressed or unsafe, but also high performance. Yes. And really caring over your sexual
0:27.1	health and intimacy and even eroticism into everyday life. Yeah. Outside of the bedroom, in the
0:33.4	bedroom, the boardroom. High performance people, super achievers, entrepreneurs, people who are
0:38.1	growth mindset oriented. They're the people who know, oh, if it's not working for me, I could

0:50.0	why wouldn't sex be a part of that? Hi, I'm Susan Bratton on Ever Forward Radio.
0:55.0	I'm the intimacy expert to millions, and I had such a fun time talking to Chase about all kinds

1:37.8	And they give it up because it doesn't satisfy them because they're kind of doing what they've seen modeled in the world, and that's
1:44.9	not very satisfying for most people. It's what leads to the sexless marriage. But high
1:51.0	performance people, super achievers, entrepreneurs, people who are growth mindset oriented, they're
1:56.7	the people who know, oh, if it's not working for me, I could learn something and do a better job. And I want to fire on all 12 cylinders of my life. And so why wouldn't sex be a part of that?
2:08.4	And so what do I need to know? Tell me what I need to know. And that's my person. I actually
