Ep. 28 - Libido: What's Going On Down There?

Your libido can tell you a lot more about your health than you might think, and that’s why James often asks about it in clinic. Far from being just about sex, changes in libido can be a red flag for things like hormone imbalances, stress, nutrient deficiencies, or medication side effects. In this episode, James and Julie explore what really affects sex drive in both men and women, how hormones like testosterone and progesterone come into play, and why a healthy libido is a sign your body’s functioning well. They also cover the impact of perimenopause, menopause, performance anxiety, and relationship dynamics — and what you can do to bring your mojo back. If your spark’s fizzled out or you’re just curious to understand more, this episode is for you.
