Embracing Eternity: Navigating the Journey of Death with Dr. Melissa Moreno
How do you want to be remembered? How do you want to live? How do you want to age lustfully?
We need to speak about death, not because we are aging but because we are old enough to be intimately touched by the transition of death. Agelust is about living fearlessly, and that is even in death.
"Why do people linger? ... Every person is here to learn something, do something, or teach something." Even at the end.
This episode is all about being the witness of this transition with Melissa Wentland Moreno FNP-bc DNP CURN With 30 years of nursing experience and extensive training in hospice palliative care and urology nursing. Dr. Moreno is passionate about assisting patients and families at the end of life.

Rethinking Alcohol: Exploring Sobriety and Non-Alcoholic Alternatives Below
Dive into the complexities of alcohol consumption in our latest podcast episode. Spoiler alert: it's not good for you, period. From its depressive effects to disrupting sleep patterns and being recognized as a poison by your body, the downsides are clear. But what about the allure of bars and social settings? Non-alcoholic bars are popping up in NYC, reflecting a growing trend.
Struggling to give up booze? We've got you covered with some essential reads:

- "This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life" by Annie Grace
- "Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze" by Tawny Lara
While AA has been a traditional support option since the 30s, the landscape is evolving. (Fun fact psychedelics were supposed to be a part of the sober journey.) Explore alternatives like Tempest Sobriety School, Loosid, Hello Sunday Morning, Soberocity, or Club Soda.

3:33 Thoughts #1 : Menopause is all in your head
Courtney Brame finds the positive in HERPES.
Why talk about herpes in a show about aging? Because it’s so common! You DEFINITELY know someone with a cold sore, if that someone isn't you.
According to the WHO “An estimated 3.7 billion people under age 50 (67%) globally have herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, the main cause of oral herpes.”
Then, what does this mean for those of us already in our 50s and beyond, those understanding their Agelust through expanding their experience, maybe divorce, or dating?
The question is how can we even reframe herpes as a gift, one not offered or asked for, but rather one that helps to bring one closer to one's body, to their nervous system.
With this 'gift', Courtney Brame has taken it and turned it into a positive impact on the world.
Courtney W. Brame is a sexual and mental health advocate for people struggling with their positive herpes status. Diagnosed with the virus himself in 2013, he stumbled through the stigma from all sides, including communication with health care providers, potential sexual partners, family, friends, and most importantly — his relationship with himself. This was brought to light in 2017 when Courtney began researching herpes groups, only to find others struggling with their diagnosis to the point of expressing suicide ideation. This led to the weekly interviews on his podcast, Something Positive for Positive People, which is now a 501c3 nonprofit organization that offers donation-based mentorship, and community, along with free support resources for people navigating all aspects of herpes stigma.

A LITTLE MORE INFO: Herpes has been around for millions of years, humans gave it to the Neanderthals along with stomach ulcers. Moderna is working on a vaccine and you can be part of their trial. Think of that next time you hear "Tale as old as time" from Beauty & the Beast.

What is a Menopause Doula: Grace Sealy guides to takes the pressure off.
Do you know the 5 stages of grief? Chances are that if you are going through menopause you are also experiencing the stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Calm down, not everyone feels grief but a lot of us do. Just like other transitions, rites of passage, they are best navigated with a guide, whether an Auntie, a community, or a doula.
Grace Veras Sealy is one of those guides. Grace is a Women's Holistic Health Coach (IIN), Perinatal Consultant, Doula, and Educator. She is a Menopause Health Guide at Elektra Health, a digital health company that provides evidence-based virtual care, education, and peer support for women navigating the 10-year menopause transition and beyond.
Grace helps people figure out how to take the pressure off in the best ways for you.
Topics include:
**Stigma Around Menopause:**
- Discussion about menopause in certain cultures, like the Dominican Republic, is taboo due to societal stigma around aging and women's health.
- Openly discussing menopause and age is considered uncommon and often met with surprise or discomfort.
**Misinformation and Varying Perceptions:**
- Within families, experiences with menopause differ; some members don't remember much about their menopausal phase, while others deny being in perimenopause despite experiencing classic symptoms.
- Limited reliance on hormone panels is noted, as they provide only a current hormonal snapshot and may not accurately reflect past or future menopausal changes.
**Debunking Misconceptions:**
- Grace aims to educate individuals that various symptoms experienced, like sleep disturbances, mood swings, weight changes, and hair loss, could be interconnected and indicative of menopause, regardless of age or current hormonal status.
- Encourages a shift in perception about menopause, advocating for open discussion and education to dispel misconceptions and promote better understanding.
Solutions for Menopause:
- **Menopause Doula:** Grace highlights the role of a menopause doula, offering holistic, non-medical support through personalized guidance, supplement recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional support during the menopausal transition.
- **Electra Health Services:** Electra Health provides a membership-based platform offering learning modules, continuous information updates, community interaction, and guidance from menopause guides. The service includes consultations with clinicians (currently out-of-pocket cost, aiming for insurance coverage in the future).
**Cultural Stigma and Menopause:**
- **Dominican Perspective:** Grace, being Dominican, acknowledges the cultural stigma surrounding menopause specifically in DR. She emphasizes the importance of addressing this stigma within Latin American and Spanish-speaking cultures.

Hi there
Just a little intro: What is Agelust about?
Sexpot Apothecary: An herbal approach to intimacy
Apologies for the plosive Ps, in. the beginning intros. One day I will have a sound person/editor for these episodes, today is not that day. If you know someone please send them my way.
In this episode of the "Agelust" podcast, two generations of Jessicas engage in an insightful conversation with the founder and primary herbalist of Sexpot Apothecary, Jessica Godfrey. The episode delves into Jessica Godfrey's journey in herbal medicine, starting from her childhood experiences of crafting teas, salves, and tinctures with her German herbalist grandmother. They explore the importance of preserving this traditional art and how it's often overlooked in modern times.
Jessica Godfrey's dedication to herbal medicine led her to formal education and informal apprenticeships with clinicians, naturopaths, and traditional healers across the globe, from Ayurvedic healers in Nepal to traditional healers in West Africa. Her diverse training forms the foundation of her work in herbal medicine.
In 2021, Jessica founded Sexpot Apothecary, a unique venture exclusively focused on herbs for holistic sexual wellness. The discussion touches upon various aspects, including fertility, hormone balance, libido, and arousal, showcasing the multifaceted approach to intimate health. A key highlight is the emphasis on education, as herbs offer potent support in this realm, yet many individuals remain unaware of where to begin their journey into herbal remedies.
This engaging conversation between the two Jessicas provides valuable insights into the world of herbal medicine, its potential to bridge the gap between pharmaceuticals and herbs, and the importance of embracing age without limitations or shame.

Low Pressure Fitness with the Mistresses of The Menopausal Mind
In 2021 I started the Mistresses of the Menopausal Mind, a Mistress Mind all about the menopause transitions. We would come together 2x a month, once meeting to shoot the shit and the other to learn about how to support ourselves through this transition in ways we may not have thought of.
In total, there were 11 expert sessions ranging from Human Design and transition, psychedelics, hormones, scarcity, beauty, and of course sex.
One of these sessions was on Low-Pressure Fitness. The pelvic floor can be a part of our bodies often overlooked until it gives us issues. We settle with sneezing and peeing, discomfort with sex, or even full-out prolapse. LPF is an amazing modality that strengthens with relaxation and expansion. Stacy Graham, RN, LPF-CT has been teaching and studying for close to a decade. She is kind and knowledgeable. Stacy has been my teacher for a bit over a year now. Check out her site https://www.coreessencetraining.com/.
Mistresses are no longer .... for now, but I plan to release more videos from the sessions as we head into the fall.
Intro to the LPF episode
More on LPF
Feet, Hormones and Pelvic floor (Dogs barking, pissy pants and grey pubes)
This short and sweet off-the-cuff, from-the-hip episode is all about feet and estrogen, and the pelvic floor. So really a little about a lot.
Special guest my husband who chimes in on the benefits of Low Pressure Fitness.
Me, practicing LPF on IG
“Squatting isn't good for your pelvic floor.” Correction squatting is excellent for the pelvic floor except when you are peeing. The pee is trying to drop it like it’s hot, and you are trying to keep it all together while you hover over the bowl, that's what's not good for your pelvic floor.
Low-pressure fitness example.

Learning the Ropes of Menopause use "Menokin" for a $40 off discount.
There is opportunity for personal growth and transformation in this journey, but it is essential to be equipped with information about the process, and access to mind-body tools that work for you.
This 2-day gathering is an opportunity for deep and embodied exploration of menopause in a community of peers guided by menopause healthcare providers who are also skilled in somatic approaches to mind-body integration.
The menopause transition brings with it specific physical and psychosocial challenges for those who identify as women. We will hold sacred space to share and process the particular experiences of those who identify with the cultural experience of being a woman in the menopause transition at this moment in time. Together we will explore both the physiology of the menopause transition and evidence-based approaches to menopause symptom management, as well as somatic tools for pleasure activation and connection with the body.
We will use the modalities of breathwork, movement, and conscious kink (specifically, shibari, Japanese-inspired rope bondage) as an exploration towards listening to and befriending your ever-changing body.
Our time together will include learning with storytelling facilitated group discussion, guided breathwork, functional movement, and beginner shibari self-tying practice.
Unveiling the world of sex surrogacy: Embracing intimacy with Carolina Lainez
Do you know what a surrogate partner is, what they do, more importantly
what they do not do?
Meet Carolina Lainez www.santantra.org started her personal and professional journey in sexual healing about 15+ years ago when she began to study different sexuality traditions and somatic bodywork. She was trained as a Surrogate Partner Therapist in the Western model for sexual healing and is certified in Tantra Massage and Massage Therapy and has been working with clients for over 10 years. Most recently she is completing her training as a clinical sex therapist, as well as creating a program around sensuality and the menopausal journey.
Being a surrogate is a calling.
“It was a no brainer for me to step in and to share and provide a space for another human to explore something so sacred”
“It’s taboo, it’s holy and human.”

Buck Angel, the Man with a 🐱 talks ageing and being the TRANPA
I just realized that Buck was 50 when the film was released, 20 years into his body. His comfort with his expression of self, his manhood was an example for me of what it means to be embodied. As far as how he impacted my career, well he talked about the importance of getting all body parts checked, caring for all parts and for him, because he has a pussy, this meant going to the gynecologist.
Buck has since stopped making films and is now focused on pleasure products for all bodies, as well as the power of cannabis. Most recently he has been outspoken about inclusion in the trans community, his concerns that trans kids are moving too quickly into medical transition.
Topics: Transgender or Transsexual
Buck's transition
Ageism
Pleasure without orgasm
Vaginal care for transmen
2nd Puberty
Edging
House music

8 Decades of Fabulous - Pat Bowie from "And Just Like That"
I am blessed to have an example of what it means to age with strength, grace, and evolution.
Pat Bowie, otherwise known as Mom, has been singing and acting professionally since the mid-1960s. She recorded 2 records with Prestige Records "Out Of Sight!" and "Feelin Good!" Featuring Charles Mcpherson, Kenny Burrell, Tommy Flanagan, and Ray Bryant.
She has won several awards and was the first Black Mrs. Cratchit in a professional production of A Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theater in Chicago.
She was asked to test to be the first Black centerfold for Playboy but didn't do it.
Most recently she played Eunice in "And Just Like That" and she's back for the second season. Check out this article from Vogue, yes Vogue.
During our conversation, we talked about aging, sex, vibrators, menopause, and of course her professional career as well.
Also, you'll hear the thoughts of my eldest daughter as she shifts from adolescence to emerging adulthood.
There's also a lot of talk about my father, George Badonsky, who was a powerhouse in his own right. A man who loved my mother to the very end, and my mother called him her one true love.
Thank you, especially, to my husband, who believes that people's stories hold great power. RC, without you, I can't say for sure whether I would have recorded this.
I hope you take time to talk to the elders in your family, even those that you struggle with and learn who they are.
A word about this episode, I am a one-person show and learning how to navigate this format, needless to say, it probably would have benefited from a producer. You can help by following, liking, sharing and rating AGELUST on Apple Podcast, and Spotify, and then maybe we can dig a hole large enough for me to get a producer.
Keep coming back because we have more guests!!!! Remember to "choose wisely", or at least as wisely as you can at this moment. You can always make another choice.
Testosterone
Supplementing testosterone can raise testosterone levels in men and women. But don't expect your testosterone supplement to turn you into some type of Avenger!
It's great for people with low testosterone levels since it can reverse symptoms like fatigue, muscle loss, and decreased libido. You will need to work with a prescriber to figure out the best course of treatment. Taking testosterone supplements can restore vitality.
All the highlights of this episode:
- Testosterone: what it is and how it’s made
- Too much and Too Little
- T Supplementation for Men
- T Supplementation for Women

Menopause is one d@mn day!
Agelust is a space to look forward with the understanding that we made through all of our past, and know that there is a lot more lustful life to come.
Today's episode is on menopause, the term, the event not all of the sensations associated. You may be surprised to learn that menopause is one day
-Climacteric is where it’s at.
-We talk about it as this long process when it’s really a single event.
-How Saturn's return is linked to menopause
-All people (he, her , them) go through a PAUSE
-Re-framing is a great way to start.
