In this episode of The Woman’s Doctor, we had a very intriguing conversation with Amy Killen. Amy is board-certified in emergency medicine and is now an anti-aging and regenerative medicine physician specializing in aesthetics and sexual medicine. She’s an expert on sexual health and today she drops the key gems on how to have a long, happy, and healthy sex life.    We branch off into many different topics but the main ideas we discussed are the tips on how to properly do kegels, the benefits of stem cells and o-shots, what types of services she offers for men seeking to better their sexual health, vaginal red light therapy, and much more. We also dive into exosomes and where a good place to start would be for people intrigued with the idea of sexual optimization and regenerative medicine.   Sexual health is something that does not get enough attention so I think it’s very important that women are able to have these types of conversations. Our cells decrease in regeneration ability as we age so it is vital that we assess our sexual health now so that we can have a long and healthy sex life because, at the end of the day, intimacy plays a major component in the health of our romantic relationships. Tune in to find out more about this amazing woman and how she can help you improve your sex life today!   KEY TAKEAWAYS [2:55] Tips on how to properly do kegels [4:40] Benefits of stem cells and O-shots [8:10] What types of services are available for men [10:21] Average age range of people seeking sexual health services [12:14] Benefits of vaginal red light therapy [16:40] What exosomes are and how they are beneficial [20:47] A good place to start for people looking to maximize sexual potential   HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST Instagram: @dr.amybkillen https://dramykillen.com/   MEMORABLE QUOTES “I think it’s easies to learn just sitting or lying down. But once you actually know where your pelvic floor is and you can relax everything else, then you can start to do Kegels in other ways… But you want to practice it when you’re in a relaxed state so that you’re not tensing up your other muscles.” “Stem cells are the cells in your body that are responsible for the upkeep and repair of all the tissues and organs of your body. And you have different types of stem cells everywhere. Your skin, your hair, your muscles, your heart, everywhere.” “What happens is as we get older, our stem cells become less active, so they’re just less active in repairing and regenerating. So when we have an injury or if we get sick, things don’t get repaired as quickly.”  “We can do injections with stem cells, PRP, and exosomes, into the penis to help with blood flow and sensation, just like with women.” “And we can also do low-intensity shock therapy… it’s essentially using high-intensity sound waves to kind of trigger a healing response in the penis.” “I have patients in their 80s who I’ve treated and have had great results with these things. So it depends on the health of patients. I don’t think that any of these things are going to help someone who is not healthy, to begin with. So you really have to establish that foundation of health first.” “If you’re doing it with just the plasma, with your blood, I think depending on where you are in the US, it’s probably between $1000 and $1500. Some places are more expensive than other places.”  “Exosomes are kind of the part of the stem cell that is called the action arm of the stem cell. So when a stem cell communicates with other stem cells, one way it does this is by releasing these little tiny bubbles full of information.” “Those are just ways to activate your own stem cells to increase collagen, pyloric acid… all these things in our skin that start to decrease after about the age of 25 or so.”
