Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about the polarity of masculine and feminine energy in a relationship. Let's talk about what we don't say out loud and the truth in our shadow. What does it mean to be a man in a time where women are both drawn to fantasy books and movies about men who ravish their partner, and also in a time of "me too" and consent. What does this say about the health of the masculine in society? Of the feminine? Dr. Mel and Jase dive deep into these questions while discussing ways to bring some healthy ravishing into your relationship - and your bedroom.

What is naturopathic medicine? What is comprehensive wellness?  Dr. Mel and Jase explore these questions, and the importance of owning your own health - from nutrition to relationships, and exercise to community.
