Picking up where they left off last time, Heather and John get deeper into a more scientific understanding of what happens when we orgasm —and why pleasure, immunity, and longevity just might share the same spark. In this episode, Heather and John try to connect the dots between the body’s most overlooked regulator of vitality: the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and the essential role it plays in our sex lives.
Spoiler alert—it’s not about getting high. It’s about unlocking the system your body already runs on to regulate pain, mood, sleep, metabolism, immune response, and, yes, orgasm.
We explore how the ECS supports hormone balance, reproductive cycles, and even menopause itself—down to how estrogen and anandamide (the “bliss molecule”) team up to stoke desire. We unpack what really happens to your immune system during climax (hello, natural killer cells), why 2AG, your body’s own cannabinoid, surges during orgasm to spark healing cascades, and how immune optimization through orgasm can temper the undesirable outcomes of menopause, promote homeostasis and possibly lead us on the road to longevity.
Your fire is already burning. We’re just helping you tend it.
