Boosting Sexual Wellness and Energy with Nitric Oxide: Insights from Cathy Eason on the SexBytes Podcast

When it comes to sexual health, most of us think hormones are running the show. But what if the real key to better intimacy, energy, and vitality was a simple molecule your body is supposed to make every single day?

That molecule is Nitric Oxide (NO)—and without enough of it, blood flow slows, energy dips, and sexual satisfaction suffers. On the latest episode of the SexBytes Podcast with Dr. Debra Durst, Berkeley Life’s Chief Science Officer, Cathy Eason, MS, CN, breaks down how NO is reshaping the conversation on libido, menopause, and overall longevity.

Nitric Oxide and Female Sexual Wellness

For years, most Nitric Oxide research focused on men’s sexual health. But Cathy explains that women need it just as much—especially for:

• Desire and arousal

• Lubrication and comfort

• Stronger, more satisfying orgasms

In Berkeley Life’s clinical studies, women reported:

• 83% enhanced orgasm sensation

• 72% improved natural lubrication

• 58% increase in libido

Beyond intimacy, NO is central to energy production. It signals your mitochondria—the “power plants” of your cells—to work more efficiently. Many people notice:

• Less afternoon fatigue

• Better focus and stamina

• More oxygen utilization during workouts

And because Nitric Oxide only lasts seconds in the body, it’s essential to support production daily through diet or supplementation.

Nitric Oxide, Menopause, and Longevity

As estrogen declines during menopause, Nitric Oxide production also drops, affecting circulation, heart health, and sexual function. Cathy shares how boosting NO can help women:

• Reduce hot flashes and night sweats

• Support cardiovascular health

• Improve sexual wellness and hormone balance

Berkeley Life is leading new studies on Nitric Oxides role in menopause - research that could change how women navigate this stage of life.
