SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk about how to improve your relationship, develop sexual intimacy, and increase your health and longevity through compromise. This is part 3 of my series on love, sex, relationships and wellbeing. As I mentioned in parts 1 and 2 of this podcast, relationships can be incredibly challenging at times. But they are also incredibly rewarding and can have a beneficial effect on our mind, brain and body health, right down to the level of our telomeres, and can contribute to better longevity.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Dr Caroline Leif and welcome to my podcast, Cleaning Up the Mental Mace. |
| 0:09.4 | Well, today's part three of the series I've been doing called Love Sixth Relationships |
| 0:14.4 | and Telomeres and I'd love you to go back and listen to part one and part two where |
| 0:19.5 | this is basically a continuation. |
| 0:22.1 | It's what we have found from research is that when we are developing our relationships, |
| 0:28.8 | growing our relationships, creating safe spaces for our relationship, including sexual |

| 1:20.1 | that you can develop these safe, supportive relationships, which can contribute not just |

| 1:30.9 | And the research also shows is that long term supportive relationships lead to increased |
| 1:36.7 | levels of happiness, health, telomere length, etc. |
| 1:39.2 | So therefore, the whole thing that I always talk about how the mind-brain body influence |
| 1:44.0 | is connected and how we are in our environment to fix the mind-brain body connection is pretty |
