In this episode…
Is your missing sex drive just part of getting older? I’m joined by Jennifer Gularson, a women’s midlife health and hormone expert, to explain why libido fades in perimenopause and menopause, and the solutions available for women.
We cover testosterone dosing and the pros and cons of creams, injections, and pellets. We also get into why oral progesterone can change your sleep and stress, and how high cortisol pulls resources away from your sex hormones.
Jennifer describes how vaginal estrogen improves comfort and helps prevent recurring UTIs, and why feeling safe matters so much for desire. We also look at metabolism, microdosed GLP-1s, sleep hygiene, and fast-acting options.
Key discussion points…
- Why libido changes during menopause
- Low testosterone and what women can do about it
- How stress steals from sex hormones
- Progesterone for sleep and stress resilience
- Estrogen, vaginal dryness, and comfort
- Impact of metabolism, body image, and GLP-1s
- When to seek help for low libido: find the right practitioner
- Misconceptions about libido loss during menopause
- UTIs and vaginal health
- Quick ways to boost libido
Libido loss in menopause is common, but that doesn’t mean that it’s normal.
