Hello!In today's episode, I'll explain the science behind sexual health, focusing on the processes of libido, arousal, and orgasm, and the factors that can influence them.I'll tell you how libido and arousal are regulated by a delicate interplay of hormones and neurotransmitters, including testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estrogen, serotonin, and dopamine. I'll also explain how stress, lifestyle, and certain medications, such as antidepressants and beta-blockers, can negatively affect sexual function.Next, I'll list supplements that can help improve sexual health at each of its "stages": libido, arousal, and orgasm. Among them, I'll mention how citrulline, Pycnogenol, and cocoa polyphenols can improve blood flow by enhancing nitric oxide, leading to better lubrication and erections.

Good morning!!Today I bring you, probably, the most personal episode of my podcast that I've shared with you since I launched this podcast almost a year ago.Thanks to my friend and also psychologist, Cristina Romero, we tackle tremendously important topics that are often not very visible or taught in our society, such as: The need to set boundaries in our relationships and how the key to knowing how to set and maintain these boundaries lies in our self-esteem (love for who we are as complete individuals). How to know if we are in a healthy personal relationship (of any kind: intimate, friendship, family) or if, on the contrary, we need to start thinking that we are in a toxic relationship. Suicide. Everything that is not seen, how it can be more present than you think in your day-to-day life, how to relate to a person with a history of suicide so that they feel safe with us and at the same time we help them fight for their life. We talk about this and much more with Cris, I hope you fall in love with it as much as I did. If you want to follow her on her IG, it's @cris.psico where you can learn from her and even request an appointment, both in-person and online.You can always find me on my IG @isabelvina for anything related to medicine, hormones, metabolism... and especially health :)For more information, you know you can find me on my Instagram @isabelvina where I share daily content.My TikTok @isabelvinabasOn my YouTube channel YouTube ChannelAnd the supplements formulated by me on my website My website

Hello! In today's podcast episode, I'll tell you everything you need to know about supplementation in children. Specifically, about the importance of vitamin D, omega-3, and magnesium supplementation in certain age groups. I'll discuss, among other things: Why vitamin D deficiency is so common now and why children (especially younger ones) are more susceptible to its deficiency. Vitamin D content in foods. Why omega-3 is so crucial in pediatric age and therefore it's necessary to ensure a minimum daily amount of these essential fatty acids for proper neurodevelopment. Magnesium and its importance in vitamin D metabolism. Why calcium, in general, is easier and more advisable to get through food rather than supplements in pediatric age. Calcium-rich foods and how to combine them. I hope this helps you resolve many doubts and concerns you may have.
