This can KILL orgasms…

The vast majority of women who do Botox have no idea it could be affecting their sex life…

Sounds crazy, but I stumbled on some wild research:

A 2018 study published in Scientific Reports followed 24 women who received Botox treatments (PMC6170457).

Women who received Botox for frown lines reported reduced sexual satisfaction - orgasms were harder to achieve and less satisfying ☹️

​

It comes down to something called the facial feedback hypothesis that I find fascinating:

Your facial expressions don’t just reflect what you’re feeling, they actually help CREATE the feeling itself.

So when Botox paralyzes the facial muscles involved in these expressions, you’re potentially disrupting that feedback loop.

The face can’t make the expressions that would normally help amplify the sexual experience, so the intensity gets dampened.

You see, we have “mirror neurons” in our brain…

When you make an expression - whether you’re my child, my spouse, or someone I’m dating - I unconsciously mirror that expression.

This mirroring is how we connect. It’s how we feel empathy. It’s how we bond.

If I paralyze the muscles on my face, I become unable to mirror your emotions. And that affects my ability to feel empathy for you.

When you can’t mirror someone’s sadness, how do you connect with them when they’re going through a hard time?

When you can’t mirror their joy, does it affect your ability to share in their happiness?

And what about bonding with your own children?

This is what concerns me most…

What if a woman has had Botox and she’s with her child who’s sad?

If she can’t make a sad face, does she have LESS ability to feel sadness with her child and bond with them?

We have 43 muscles in our face. The complexity of human facial expression is one of the things that makes us uniquely human.

When we start paralyzing these muscles, we’re potentially interfering with fundamental aspects of human connection.

The good news is, I believe you can maintain youthful-looking skin WITHOUT Botox…

People who eat an animal-based diet and optimize their lifestyle consistently look younger and healthier… almost like they’re aging backwards.

Here’s what they do:

#1 Eat meat and organs

High quality meat and organs is ideal... focus on grass-fed meats that will give you high quality, bioavailabkle protein.

You’ll also want to eat collagen-rich parts of the animal, especially connective tissue like skin, bones, and cartilage.

Or, take a quality collagen supplement like Lineage Nose-to-Tail Collagen.

It contains Type I, II, and III collagen, plus hyaluronic acid and vitamin C from natural sources to support skin elasticity and hydration.

(This one’s a non-negotiable… you lose about 1% of your collagen production each year after 25!)

Alongside this, they:

#2 Eliminate seed oils

These can cause oxidative damage and premature aging from the inside out. Seed oils can deplete vitamin E over time - and vitamin E is one of the main things that protects these oils from oxidation in your skin.

#3 Get quality sleep

This is when your body repairs itself. Most skin “aging” is actually damage from poor sleep and nutrition.

#4 Use non-toxic sunscreen

Tallow-based with non-nano zinc if you’re going to be in intense sun. Most sunscreens contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, and avobenzone - potential carcinogens that are absorbed through your skin.

#5 Experiment with red light therapy

There is some evidence that red light therapy can help with fine lines and wrinkles and collagen production in the face.

The Bottom Line…

We’ve reached a point where women would rather potentially impair their ability to connect emotionally and experience sexual pleasure than show signs of aging.

That’s not vanity - that’s a deeper cultural problem about how we value appearance over authentic human experience.

Your body is an integrated system.

You can’t paralyze muscles in your face and expect it to only affect wrinkles.

Everything is connected - your facial expressions, your emotions, your ability to connect with others, and yes, even your sexual experiences.

To anyone reading who’s a fan of Botox or considering it…

Know that I’m not telling you what to do.

If looking young on the outside is more important than what’s actually going on inside you… then go ahead, stick those needles in your face.

But I want you to have all the information to make an informed choice.

⭐️ Also consider...

Your skin, your connective tissue, even your ability to feel and express deeply human emotions are all built on the raw materials you give your body.

Lineage Nose-to-Tail Collagen provides Type I, II, and III collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C from whole food sources. These are the exact nutrients your body uses to rebuild skin elasticity, support hydration, and maintain the integrity of those 43 facial muscles that make human connection—and yes, even sexual pleasure—possible.

Supporting your collagen production naturally may be one of the most powerful ways to stay vibrant, expressive, and deeply connected for years to come.
