In this summit, Dr.Bartlik discusses how mental and sexual health play a vital role in an individual’s well-being, and in a busy mom's life. Her message is that it is important to connect intimately - even when one is stressed - as intimacy can help reduce stress and increase mutually supportive bonds with one's partner. She also discusses ways to enhance these through natural approaches, such as improved micro-nutrition via targeted use of certain nutritional supplements.
