Welcome back to The Best Life Code with Dr. Rudy! In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that's capturing headlines and stirring up important conversations: "The Great Sex Recession." After a well-deserved summer break, Dr. Rudy returns full of energy - now as an empty nester - and ready to explore why sexual activity is on the decline in America.

Dr. Rudy unpacks startling statistics: fewer adults are having regular sex than ever before, intimacy priorities are shifting, and both psychological and biological factors are at play. In this episode we explore everything from the impact of technology and cultural changes to hormone health, stress, and the power of communication in relationships.

You'll hear new terms like SPREAD - Sexual Performance Related Anxiety and Depression - coined by Dr. Rudy, and pick up actionable tips on intimacy check-ins, battling sexual stigma, and finding joy in connection beyond just performance.

Whether you're looking for practical medical insight, honest relationship advice, or just a fresh take on an often-taboo subject, this episode brings humor, heart, and expert perspective. Tune in as Dr. Rudy helps you reclaim sexual vitality and reminds us all: living your best life starts with open conversation and self-awareness.
