Lana Kerr Integrates Sexual Wellness into Women’s Longevity Discussion

CO2Lift® CEO Lana Kerr has brought a new dimension to the longevity conversation at LIVELONG NYC, integrating sexual wellness into the broader discussion on women’s health and aging. Kerr, along with Dr. Tess Mauricio, introduced HERgevity™, a framework that connects skin, sexual wellness, and strength, placing intimate health alongside familiar topics such as hormones, metabolism, muscle, brain health, and healthy aging.

Kerr emphasized that while women are often encouraged to protect their brain, bones, muscles, and skin as they age, sexual wellness is still a topic many hesitate to discuss. She argued that comfort, confidence, connection, and sexual wellness should be integral parts of the longevity conversation.

Kerr highlighted that women may experience painful sex, changes in sensation, urinary leakage, or altered sexual responses, yet often assume these are normal parts of aging. HERgevity™ challenges this assumption by promoting the idea that common symptoms do not necessarily mean women should endure them without seeking help. The presentation encouraged a broader conversation that includes tissue health, circulation, pelvic floor function, nerves, and hormones, rather than focusing solely on libido.

Kerr’s approach is part of a broader vision to make women more informed about the physical changes they experience as they age. She encouraged the use of anatomically correct language, understanding basic anatomy, recognizing that pain is information, and addressing intimate health without shame. Kerr also stressed the importance of starting these conversations long before women reach menopause or experience symptoms.

The HERgevity™ platform is expanding beyond the stage. At LIVELONG, Kerr continued the conversation through The HERgevity™ Orgasm Guide, which aims to make education around female sexual wellness more accessible and encourage women to better understand their bodies, sexual response, and intimate health. This guide is part of a larger editorial platform being developed under HERgevity™.

Kerr’s vision for HERgevity™ is to focus on giving women more information about the bodies they will live longer in. She believes that longevity should not just be about adding years but also about understanding and protecting the body a woman will live those additional years in. The platform is built around the pillars of skin, sex, and strength, bringing together education, science, and candid conversation surrounding healthy aging, intimate wellness, and women’s long-term quality of life.

The presentation also reflected the broader direction Kerr is building for Lumisque and the CO2Lift brand. CO2Lift® first established its position through topical carboxytherapy and regenerative skin health. The company’s CO2Lift® V extended this science into intimate wellness, creating a bridge between the company’s expertise in tissue health and Kerr’s larger vision for women’s longevity. HERgevity™ now brings these conversations together, addressing areas that are often excluded from mainstream conversations about healthy aging.

Kerr’s journey to becoming a more informed woman is personal. She shared her experiences of reaching adulthood, marriage, motherhood, and a career in beauty and wellness while still realizing there were aspects of her own body she had never fully understood. This realization became the foundation for HERgevity™, which aims to make such questions less common for future generations of women.

In summary, the presentation at LIVELONG NYC marked a significant step in Kerr’s mission to make sexual wellness a more open and informed conversation for women. By integrating this topic into the broader longevity discussion, HERgevity™ is setting a new standard for women’s health and wellness.
