• Leverage sexual wellness to improve skin, gut and endocrine health
• Learn how to love your body and that of your partner in all their supposed “flaws”
• Find a natural way to tackle your hormonal and fertility issues, including Polycystic Ovaries, naturally
• Unpack the unique Ayurvedic perspective on aphrodisiacs as energy-boosters
• ‘Get’ Ayurveda’s right conditions for healthy sexual expression
• Balance the masculine and feminine energies in your body
• Restore the fiery, juicy energy in your “dry” relationship
• Discover the right sexual and physical hygiene that respects your inner ecology
• Learn techniques to have longer, more blissful orgasms with your partner and help him or her achieve the same
• Regain vitality holistically without synthetic hormones or harmful drugs (like Viagra)
• Boost your stress-response and improve immunity

Well, that’s because we are socialized to view sex as exactly that – JUST SEX! We think sex is limited to pleasure and that pleasure in itself is not that important. Think of the many times people say this in response to your problems…

• “I have lost interest in sex now that I’m older” – “That’s inevitable, it’s just sex…” (or worse: “just take Viagra or synthetic female hormones”)
• “I can’t connect with my partner sexually” – “It happens…It’s just sex….” And so on

WELL, GUESS WHAT, IT’S NEVER ‘JUST SEX’.

Let’s clear all that JUDGEMENT for once and give yourself a break to focus on something very unique and very fresh: picture your own body as a treasure chest of health tools. What if you had a powerful tool in this chest, whose TRUE potential you have yet to recognize or use? And imagine discovering and optimizing this tool? How exciting would that be and what an ENORMOUS difference it could make to your overall health and well-being! In other words:

ENHANCING SEXUAL WELLNESS WILL DIRECTLY BOOST YOUR OVERALL HEALTH.

That is why sexual wellness can change your life. Whether you’re sexually active or not, Ayurveda doesn’t have judgements on your choices… Sexual Wellness in this sophisticated science is about balacing and harnessing your powerful sexual energy. In a state of balanced sexual energy, your vital life force or RASA is constantly replenished, keeping you juicy, strong and calm.

And here’s another eye opener….

You can be in any phase of life; a 20-something or a grandparent, you can be single or partnered, a working parent who thinks the fire has gone out of his long-term partnership, you can be asexual or celibate or sexually active. You don’t need to be any particular way to have sexual wellness but just be someone who wants to embrace health.

Here is what life looks like when you have sexual wellness:

• You LOVE your body and that of your partner in all their supposed “flaws”
• Your romantic relationships are more meaningful
• You practice proper sexual and physical hygiene, so you stay disease-free
• Your endocrine function improves
• The rasa in your body is constantly replenished, keeping your blood and lymph channels unblocked
• You have better bone and muscle health, because your rasa is supplying nutrients to every part of your body!
• You have enhanced immunity and energy
• Because you have a healthy attitude towards sex and relationships, you are emotionally happy and mentally calm!
• The masculine and feminine energies in your body flow in balance, so issues like menopause and prostate enlargement are easier to deal with…

Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? So how do you get to this place of sexual wellness holistically? You don’t need expensive sessions of couples’ therapy or spend hundreds of dollars on “anti-aging” products or synthetic hormones.

No confusion, no artificial intervention, just this:

Making small RASA-REPLENISHING changes in your lifestyle can bring you in a state of sexual wellness. It is as practical as that and this is where Todd comes in!

Humble and empathetic, Todd has healed and taught literally hundreds. In his own words:

My goal is to teach both my patients and students to become self-reliant, to develop for themselves an insightful and penetrating vision of health that allows them to see past the hype.

And this is how Todd explains Ayurveda’s definition of Sexual Wellness:

“The third component of the tristambha is brahmacharya, and literally refers to sexual continence and chastity. More broadly, however, brahmacharya relates to practices that are orientated towards the attainment of spiritual consciousness and eternal bliss…. Normal sexual relations are a part of this attainment, as an act reflected in the cosmic principles of creation itself.”

And that’s why Todd’s view of sexual wellness is such a breath of fresh air and so sex-positive! No more thinking of sex as “frivolous” and confusion or myths around sexual wellness and the areas of life it impacts. To help you harness your sexual energy and bring balance into your life, as well as handle very common endocrine and reproductive issues like Infertility, Polycystic Ovarian Disease and Erectile Dysfunction,
