We care about sexual health.
And people assume that their gynecologists know everything about sex.
And it turns out they don't.
And so it was a really fun field where I didn't have to deliver babies and be up all night.
And I could do women's health without being an obstetrician.
You did a sexual medicine...
fellowship, which is rare as well.
Yeah.
What was that like?
Yeah, I'm probably one of only a handful of people who can say that they're a sexual medicine doctor.
Now, there are many people who practice sexual medicine, but these fellowships are rare and we're hoping to build more.
That's one of my dreams is to have a fellowship.
If I speak it now, I can put it into the world.
But this, you know, my mentor is a guru.
Amazing.
You should totally have him on the podcast.
This guy, Erwin Goldstein, who really pioneered
men's sexual health and then realized, well, wait a minute, there's nothing for women.
And so he pioneered this amazing organization called ISWISH, the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, ISSWSH.
And he pioneered that over 20 years ago, around the time Viagra had come out.
