Commune with Jeff Krasno

Lasting love isn’t something you find; it is a skill you must practice. In this episode, Jeff Krasno speaks with two leading relationship experts, Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez) and Jillian Turecki, to explore how to build healthy relationships through emotional responsibility, conscious communication, and self-awareness.

While society focuses on the romance of falling in love, very little guidance exists on what it takes to sustain connection over time. This episode dismantles the myth of the “perfect partner” and provides actionable tools to navigate the inevitable challenges of long-term commitment, from boredom to conflict.

This episode covers:

The three anchors for loving better: Kindness, Compassion, and Growth

Emotional Responsibility: How to communicate feelings without blaming your partner

The “Comfort Trap”: Balancing stability with novelty to keep the spark alive

Healing the Past: Why your relationship with yourself dictates your romantic success

Conflict Resolution: Moving from “fighting to win” to listening to understand

Love as a Verb: Practical rituals to show up for your partner even when you don’t feel like it

This podcast is for couples feeling stuck in a rut, singles looking to break old patterns, and anyone ready to approach love with greater mindfulness and maturity.

So many of us feel anxious or disconnected from our bodies because we don't understand why our sexual desire fluctuates. This episode breaks down the hormonal dance that drives (and sometimes derails) your sex drive, explaining what happens to your metabolism, mood, and libido through midlife. 

We get crystal clear on desire vs arousal vs orgasm, why estrogen is a major driver of fantasy and craving, and why progesterone can make you drier, slower to warm up, and harder to orgasm (you’re not broken, you’re hormonally alive). Then we zoom out to the midlife reality: metabolism shifts, insulin resistance, body changes, stress, sleep… and the underrated longevity superpower that changes everything: connection and community.

What you’ll learn:

Responsive vs spontaneous desire (both normal)

Why ovulation can feel like “sex brain”

Why the luteal phase can mean dryness + more foreplay

What shifts in perimenopause (metabolism, muscle, belly fat)

Simple blood sugar levers: protein, fiber, walking, sleep

Why body image and stress can tank libido

Why connection might matter more than any supplement

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is something wrong with me?”, this episode is your permission slip: your libido isn’t a personality flaw. It’s biology + life.

Featured Guests:

Dr. Jolene Brighten – Naturopathic endocrinologist, author of Is This Normal? and Beyond the Pill

Dr. Mariza Snyder – Functional wellness expert, author of The Perimenopause Revolution

Rosie Acosta – Host of Radically Loved, yoga and meditation teacher

In this episode of The Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Dr. Michael Breus, clinical psychologist and board-certified sleep specialist, to explore why sleep is foundational to recovery, metabolism, and immune health. They discuss chronotypes, the real science behind melatonin, and how seasonal shifts, temperature, and breathing techniques all shape sleep quality.

Dr. Breus also shares practical guidance on hydration, diet, and sleep aids, along with his vision for where sleep science is headed.

The Luminescence Podcast, hosted by Schuyler Grant, powered by Commune.

A space for science-based, culturally curious, and politically fearless conversations illuminating women’s health.

Ever been turned on but dry as the Sahara? Vaginal lubrication doesn't always match desire, and in this episode, Schuyler Grant and her expert panel (Dr. Jolene Brighten, Dr. Marisa Snyder, and Rosie Acosta) explain what our culture – and our doctors – fail to teach us. We break down vaginal health, pH balance, and what is really going on in your body during arousal.

What you'll learn:


Arousal non-concordance (your wetness doesn't have to match your desire)


Vaginal pH and why estrogen is basically a farmer for your vagina


What really happens during arousal (spoiler: it takes longer than porn suggests)


Why every vagina needs estrogen (postpartum, perimenopause, menopause)


Vaginal health myths busted (Can tampons get lost? Are tight vaginas better?)


How to know when dryness, itching, or pain needs medical attention


Why vaginal health is connected to your overall wellbeing

Can you get pregnant during your period? (Depends.) Are all vaginas pink? (Absolutely not.) Should you be doing 50 Kegels a day? (Please stop.) You'll learn why the “tight vagina” myth is harmful, how semen affects vaginal pH, and why vaginal health changes throughout your life. It’s the vagina education you never got—science-backed, shame-free, and actually useful.

In this episode of The Commune Podcast, Jeff welcomes back Dr. Gabrielle Lyon — physician, longevity expert, and author of The Forever Strong Playbook — to explore why skeletal muscle is the most overlooked organ in health and aging. They discuss the metabolic link between muscle and brain health, how to think about protein intake at any age, and why building strength safely over time matters more than just lifting heavier.

Dr. Lyon also makes a compelling case for mindset as a core pillar of physical transformation. She shares practical ways to build mental toughness alongside muscle, from small daily friction exercises to doing hard things with your family. Today's episode is a grounded, actionable conversation for anyone ready to take their health seriously.
