Sex and relationships are intimate — and sometimes intimidating to talk about. Host Anita Rao guides us on an exploration of our brains and our bodies that touches down in taboo territory.

Host Anita Rao is on a journey to uncover just what happens when we open ourselves up to taking on these taboo topics on Embodied, a weekly show about sex, relationships and your health.
