The word genius is so overly used that I have come to be annoyed by it. The rare gem I have had the lottery-winning luck of meeting worthy of the title genius is Dr. Molly Maloof. Years ago, I met her while she was speaking on a panel at my friend’s exclusive conference for ultra-high-network investors in the homeopathic and alternative healing industry. Intrigued with everything she does, from her informative social media content to her mind-blowing book, which has changed how I think about my body and health, I wanted to know more about her bioscience company, Adamo.
Living Adamo Bioscience is a “sexual wellness company dedicated to pioneering the science of love-making to help dysfunction and optimize sexual health.” Once I started reading the published studies and stats on relationships and sexual woes a prodigious number of Americans face daily, I was shocked. For example, over half of men and women globally are dissatisfied with the physical and emotional aspects of their sexual relationships. I had to know more.
Dr. Molly Maloof provides health optimization and personalized medicine to high-achieving people who want the most out of their bodies. She created the therapy program, The Adamo Method. Since 2012, she has worked as an advisor to more than 50 companies in digital health, consumer health, and biotechnology. Dr. Maloof is on the frontier of digital health technologies, biofeedback-assisted lifestyle interventions, psychedelic medicine, and science-backed wellness products and services. What follows is our Q and A that every adult and mental healthcare professional must read.
Why did you start this company?
Our company was started with the vision to spark a revolution in human connection by demonstrating that love is embodied medicine that enhances longevity and awakens a healthier, happier, and more resilient world. We are driven by the mission to empower people to cultivate healthy, fulfilling, and satisfying sexual lives through a comprehensive and evidence-based sexual wellness program. The ultimate goal is to heal sexual dysfunction and optimize sexual health, promoting a world where intimacy is an undisputed force for human flourishing.
What is your company’s sales pitch?
Our company’s sales pitch is best summarized in our tagline: “Better sex through science.” We focus on revitalizing romance, unlocking passion, transforming intimacy, and igniting desire by providing a science-backed path to better sex and greater love (really–we measured it!) for everyone.
Adamo offers a revolutionary digital sex therapy platform that elevates human connection and empowers love through a transformational mind-heart-body protocol shown to improve a broad array of measures of sexual and relational health (e.g., reducing sexual shame, improving sexual confidence, increasing emotional closeness, enhancing orgasm frequency and quality, improving sexual arousal, increasing lasting time in the bedroom, reducing sexual routine, etc.).
How does a good or bad sex life impact people’s overall health (immune system, diseases)?
A good sex life is strongly linked to overall health, longevity, and happiness. High-quality romantic relationships, which include sexual satisfaction, are associated with slowed aging and improved well-being. Conversely, a bad sex life, especially in the context of dissatisfaction or dysfunction, can lead to decreased intimacy, increased stress, and relationship dissatisfaction and may even contribute to chronic diseases due to the negative impact on mental and emotional health.
Is there anything you’d like to share with the world?
Adamo Bioscience emphasizes that love and connection are not just emotional experiences but also scientific phenomena that significantly impact health and longevity. The company would like to share the idea that by rethinking and optimizing sexual health, we can foster stronger connections and, ultimately, a healthier and more fulfilling life. We believe having a healthy sex life is as important as nutrition, fitness, sleep, managing stress, and living a healthy environment. Because it’s so taboo, people currently turn to adult content for how to learn to f*ck, but what people are seeing is fundamentally performative. It doesn’t show what great sex looks like.
Who would benefit most from Adamo Bioscience?
Adamo Bioscience is designed for individuals and couples who are struggling with sexual dysfunction, emotional disconnection, or dissatisfaction in their sexual lives. It is also beneficial for those looking to optimize their sexual health and deepen their connection with their partner. The program is suitable for those dealing with psychosomatic sexual dysfunction, biological sexual challenges, or who simply want to shift from routine sex to embodied love-making. Clients who felt their sex lives were already amazingly discovered that our program could amplify their experiences by giving them a greater repertoire of skills in the bedroom.
How does it work?
The Adamo Method is a 9-week protocol designed to be integrated into daily life. It consists of five main phases: psychosexual preparation, non-penetrative play, penetration techniques, creating and maintaining suction during sexual movement, and integrating learning to deepen partner connection. The method focuses on both physical and psychological aspects of sexual health, using techniques such as pelvic floor breathing, consent communication, and personalized sexual exercises to enhance intimacy and sexual satisfaction.
What’s an example of an exercise?
An example of an exercise from the Adamo Method is “Pelvic Floor Breathing.” This exercise involves learning and practicing breathing techniques that focus on the pelvic floor, both individually and with a partner. The goal is to increase blood flow and arousal, which can help address issues like erectile dysfunction and enhance sexual pleasure. Your pelvic floor is a diaphragm, and learning to push it out rather than just pull it in (like in Kegels) can help you generate greater orgasmic potential.
How long does this method or training program take to learn and apply?
The Adamo Method is designed as a 9-week program, but it can be adapted to individual needs. Some participants may complete it within this time frame, while others may take the program at their own pace or repeat it to fully absorb the learnings and integrate the knowledge. The program can be self-guided or used alongside therapy (e.g., couples therapy, sex therapy, pelvic floor therapy, hormone replacement, etc.).
When is a good time for couples to use this?
A good time for couples to use the Adamo Method is when they are experiencing challenges in their sexual relationship, such as routine sex, emotional disconnection, or sexual dysfunction. It is also beneficial for couples who want to reignite passion, improve intimacy, or explore new sexual techniques to enhance their relationship. You don’t have to have problems to use this. If you want more passion, intimacy, better sexual communication, greater sexual satisfaction, and better orgasms — you should check us out.
What are some common questions you get from people on the fence about using this method and what would you like those people to know?
Common questions include concerns about time commitment, effectiveness, and whether the program can address specific issues like low desire or sexual dysfunction. We would like people to know that the method is designed to be comprehensive and flexible — you can take it as fast or slow as you want. Our program offers long-term benefits and is supported by scientific evidence, making it a valuable investment in one’s sexual and overall well-being.
