Why Is It Still So Hard to Talk About Sex? | Brainz Podcast with Dr. Linda Fraim

Dr. Linda Fraim, Clinical Health Psychologist, Marriage & Family Therapist, certified Sexologist, educator, television host, and author, joins the Brainz Magazine podcast for a fascinating conversation on psychology, relationships, sexuality, communication, and holistic healing.

In this episode, she shares how an unexpected career journey led her from studying engineering to becoming an internationally recognised psychologist, and why life rarely unfolds according to plan. Drawing on decades of clinical practice, teaching, and public education, Linda explores common misconceptions about mental health, why true wellbeing depends on balancing the mind and body, and how our earliest experiences shape the way we connect with others.

The conversation also explores why conflict escalates, practical techniques for turning heated arguments into healthier conversations, the importance of trust and attachment in relationships, and why conversations around sex continue to feel uncomfortable despite living in a world with more information than ever before. Linda also shares insights from her extensive research into the history of sexuality, revealing how attitudes towards intimacy have evolved across different cultures and what those lessons can teach us about relationships today.

From the science of attachment to the history of sexuality, this conversation explores the many factors that shape how we love, communicate, and connect with one another.

Is Your Mouth the Key to Better Health? Brainz Podcast with Dr. Marc Mortiboys

Dr. Marc Mortiboys, dentist, founder of The Dental Shaman Movement, and advocate for holistic oral health, joins the Brainz Magazine podcast for a fascinating conversation on dentistry, healing, and the deeper connection between the mouth, body, and mind. In this episode, he shares how nearly 40 years in dentistry, a powerful near-death experience, and his work with indigenous and shamanic healing traditions shaped a very different way of looking at oral health. Moving beyond the traditional view of dentistry as simply fixing teeth, Marc explains why the mouth can reveal so much about stress, inflammation, nervous system health, and overall wellbeing. The conversation explores the link between oral health and wider physical health, including saliva, acidity, jaw tension, teeth grinding, gum health, and the growing awareness around the oral-systemic connection. Marc also discusses the mission behind The Dental Shaman Movement and why prevention, self-awareness, and a more natural approach to health are becoming increasingly important.

This is a thought-provoking episode for anyone interested in holistic health, dentistry, and personal transformation, offering a deeper perspective on why your mouth may hold more insight into your wellbeing than you realise.
