About this listen
In this episode of Up One, hosts Sawyer Stone and Dr. Bill Andrews are joined by world-renowned sexual health expert Dr. Amy Killen to explore the profound link between physical intimacy and biological longevity. The conversation breaks down the "four pillars" of sexual health—the mind, hormones, blood flow, and pelvic support—while highlighting research that suggests regular sexual activity can lower all-cause mortality by 50%. From the benefits of oxytocin and nitric oxide to emerging regenerative treatments like shockwave therapy and stem cells, the trio discusses how maintaining sexual vitality isn't just about reproduction; it is a critical biomarker for overall physical, mental, and immune health. Challenging the myth that sexual decline is an inevitable part of aging, Dr. Killen provides actionable advice on lifestyle choices, supplements, and the importance of open dialogue to help listeners reclaim their health span.
