“Unlocking Your Sex Span”

Bestselling author, world-renowned sexual biohacker, spokesperson for GAINSWave™, and “The Intimacy Expert to Millions.”

What if the secret to lifelong love, happiness, AND longevity starts in your bedroom?

Get ready—this episode pulls back the covers on the truth about sex, intimacy, and personal fulfillment!

In this must-listen-to edition of Thrive LouD, host Lou Diamond is joined by Susan Bratton—bestselling author, world-renowned sexual biohacker, spokesperson for GAINSWave™, and “The Intimacy Expert to Millions.” Susan shares her deeply personal journey from Silicon Valley tech maven to pioneering sex and relationship educator, revealing how revitalizing her own marital connection became the spark for empowering millions to reclaim their intimate lives.

Key Highlights:

Susan’s Transformation: How hit-or-miss sex and looming divorce led her and her husband to hack their own intimacy—and eventually co-create a global digital education business devoted to passionate, lasting relationships.
Breaking Taboos: Susan’s courageous “straight talk” approach for helping people shed shame, break through cultural and personal hang-ups about sex, and invite more joy into their relationships.
The “Sex-Span” Effect: Why extending your sexual vitality (sex span) is more than pleasure—it’s a game-changer for your overall health span, and what regenerative treatments like GainsWave mean for men and women as they age.
Three “Legs” of Lasting Intimacy: The powerful combination of lovemaking techniques, high-level communication skills, and intimate wellness that supports a thriving bedroom and a thriving life.
Busting Myths: What pop culture and mainstream media get wrong about desire, libido, and the true differences between male and female arousal.
The Business of Passion: Susan’s candid look at building and running a stigma-busting intimacy brand, staying resilient in a “bad neighborhood” (the sexuality space), and why podcasting is her secret marketing superpower.
