On this weeks episode of The Beats, Kelly Kennedy sits down with her long time friends Dr. Carchedi to talk about sex.
Yup, you read that right folks.
We all have sex organs and we all take part in sexual activities and intimacy, yet we often don’t think or talk about how sex contributes to our overall health.
In this episode Dr. Carchedi and Kelly Kennedy break that barrier and bring to the forefront topics that we all need to hear and acknowledge. At the end of the day we are all sexual beings thus sex is also an aspect of our bodies we need to acknowledge to attain overall health.
