In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric speaks with Jeralyn Glass, internationally renowned sound healing pioneer, founder of Crystal Cadence, and author of Sacred Vibrations. After the tragic loss of her 19-year-old son, Jeralyn transitioned from a celebrated opera career to the transformative world of sound healing. In this deeply moving conversation, Eric and Jeralyn explore the power of music to help us process grief, regulate our nervous system, and connect with the unseen—sharing practical tools, personal stories, and spiritual insights that resonate far beyond the conversation. They also touch on how sound may serve as a bridge between science and spirit, and how universal truths are encoded in musical harmony. Key Takeaways: → Sound, especially crystal singing bowls, can help process and express grief in ways talk therapy sometimes cannot. → Vibrational frequencies of music create structure and safety that allow deeper emotional exploration. → Music connects us to our loved ones, even after their passing, and can serve as a bridge between the seen and unseen. → Simple practices like humming can calm the nervous system and help us “tune” ourselves. → Grief is not something we "get over" but something we learn to move with, transforming us in the process.

This is more than a conversation about ED—it’s a revolutionary look at how reclaiming sexual health may be the ultimate biohack for longevity, confidence, and connection. The two dive deep into taboo-busting truths, ancestral health principles, porn’s impact on desire, and why your brain—not your genitals—is your most vital sexual organ.Key Takeaways:→ Sexual health is a vital sign—not a vanity metric—and often the first indicator of deeper cardiovascular issues.→ The “little blue pill” is a short-term fix that can silence serious health warnings and create long-term dependency.→ Optimal testosterone isn’t one-size-fits-all; understanding free testosterone and SHBG is essential for real results.→ Lifestyle changes—like diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction—can naturally restore and amplify sexual vitality.→ Emotional safety, open communication, and supportive relationships are just as essential to sexual performance as physical health.More from Dr. Anne Truong:Dr. Anne Truong is a leading voice in regenerative medicine and men’s sexual health, blending Western medical training with Eastern practices like acupuncture to treat root causes of dysfunction.
