Reclaiming the Slow Burn: Embodiment, Sensuality, and the Art of 1% More. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We live in a culture that has systematically commodified sex while simultaneously severing us from our bodies. High-speed, hyper-visualized, and hyper-performative, mainstream sexuality is largely shaped by a pervasive porn culture. The demands of instant gratification, dramatic performance, and wildly one-dimensional, surface level, sex acts. It tells us that pleasure is something we give or display, rather than something we inhabit, conjure, embody, and build with transcendent life force energ
Listen to our Daughters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A month ago I was chatting with a good friend of mine, and as often happens, the conversation came around to our teen daughters who happen to be the same age. She mentioned her daughter’s struggles with her menstrual cycle and I expressed sympathy. She shrugged it off. “Well, she has to just suck it up and push through it you know. This is life.

Willow Rose is focused on Women’s Health and it wasn’t originally in my lineup to write in-depth articles about men’s health. However, we women don’t exist in isolation, we have fathers, brothers, husbands and sons and we are often as concerned about their health as we are about our own.Last month I wrote about supporting the health of teenage girls. Although puberty looks different for boys and girls, much of the foundation is similar. Both are building brains, bones, immun
Supporting the Health of Our Teen Girls (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When our children were young, it was relatively easy to manage their health and well being by putting a plate of their favourite (and hopefully relatively healthy) food in front of them, sending them outside to play, and telling them it’s bedtime. They were strong, active, full of life and energy, laughing, running, playing and healthy.And then they become teenagers — or more accurately, they start puberty — and everything got a lot more complicated. In this article, and my next one, I want to t
