Just in time for Valentine's Day, we are chatting with sex therapist Celeste Smith. This episode is actually one we recorded over a year ago and has been sitting in the vault. We hope you enjoy Celeste's gentle approach to physical intimacy when you have a chronic illness, what it means to be regulated vs disregulated, and EDs.

This is a fascinating episode! Diagnosed with stage 2 lipedema, Shari Guess has endured one health crisis after another. One major culprit of her troubles? An allergy to heavy metals. And this may not be as uncommon as you think! Listen as she breaks down the implications of this issue and how it might be affecting lipedema patients. This episode is filled with so much good information! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
