When you lose over 230 pounds, everything changes—your body, your relationships, your libido, and your identity.
In this unfiltered conversation, men’s dating coach turned health advocate Frank Kermit joins Dr. Stacy to share the raw truth about sex, intimacy, and love after massive weight loss. From his battle with diabetes to his upcoming reconstructive surgery, Frank opens up about how healing his body forced him to face old trauma, changing attraction dynamics, and a new kind of vulnerability in his marriage.
This episode explores the emotional and sexual side of transformation—how to communicate through change, reconnect in a new body, and rediscover what intimacy really means when the physical layers fall away.
