EP499 - You Don't Have a Low Libido. Here's What's Really Happening

Welcome to Episode 499 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am excited to be joined by Dr. Michelle Sands, who speaks to me about the connection between hormones, stress, the nervous system, and women’s sexual desire.In this episode, Dr. Sands explains why a loss of desire is not always a libido problem. We discuss how changes in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, circulation, sleep, and vaginal health can affect arousal and sexual comfort, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. We also talk about why pain during sex can naturally reduce desire and why women should not assume that they are broken or failing their partners.Dr. Michelle Sands, ND, is a #1 bestselling author, licensed naturopathic physician, speaker, female hormone expert, and epigenetics coach. She is passionate about helping women harness the power of nature to elevate their genetic expression and live vibrant, fulfilling lives by supporting their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.In this episode, you will hear:Libido As A Vital SignHormonal Changes During MenopauseUnderstanding Painful SexStress And Cortisol DysregulationAdvocating For Hormone CareRethinking Hormone Replacement TherapyScheduling Intimacy Without PressureSupporting Arousal And Blood FlowRestoring Nervous System BalanceSexual Health And LongevityA Woman's Guide to Reviving Sex Drivehttps://oasis2care.com/how-to-increase-your-libido/Book An Appointment With Dr. Nazanin Moalihttps://oasis2care.clientsecure.me  Spice Up Your Social Media Feed AND Your Sex Life: Follow Us On InstagramPodcast Produced by Vaudeo ProductionsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
