ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if your low libido, ED, or fatigue isn't a hormone problem — it's a cellular energy problem?
In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Dr. Jess Armine, a functional medicine practitioner with nearly 50 years of clinical experience specializing in long COVID, post-viral syndromes, and complex chronic illness. Dr. Armine breaks down why so many patients "do everything right" — fix their hormones, follow the protocol — and still don't feel better, and what's actually happening underneath at the cellular level.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why mitochondria (your body's energy factories) drive far more than energy — including sexual function
- The "cell danger response": how toxins, infections, and even emotional trauma can all trigger the same cellular dysfunction
- Why sexual arousal requires high energy output and a calm nervous system — and what happens when your body doesn't have either
- Why hormone replacement alone sometimes "stops working" over time if root causes aren't addressed
- The connection between long COVID, chronic fatigue, and sexual dysfunction in both men and women
- Simple, practical steps for supporting cellular health: liposomal vitamins, gut health, digestive enzymes, and more
- Why treating the whole picture (hormones + nervous system + immune system + cellular energy) gets better results than treating one lab value in isolation
If you've been doing "everything right" and still don't feel like yourself, this episode explains what might actually be missing.
