    You’re Not Broken: Low Libido & Vaginal Dryness After 40 with Dr. Betsy Greenleaf

    Send a text 🎙️ Welcome to Fit in Your 40s Podcast If intimacy feels different than it used to — low libido, vaginal dryness, discomfort during sex, or a disconnect you don’t recognize — this episode is for you. So many women in their 40s and beyond assume these changes are just part of aging. Our mothers stayed silent. Our grandmothers stayed silent. And many women today are still suffering quietly, believing there’s nothing they can do. That stops here. In today’s conversation, Doucky is joined by Dr. Betsy A.B. Greenleaf, a board-certified urogynecologist and internationally recognized expert in menopause, pelvic health, and sexual wellness. Together, we break the silence around sexual health in perimenopause and menopause — and explain why low libido and vaginal dryness are common, treatable, and not something you have to live with. This episode blends medical insight with a holistic lens, helping women understand what’s really happening in their bodies — and how hormones, stress, nervous system overload, gut health, and lifestyle all intersect when it comes to desire and comfort. 🎧 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why so many women experience low libido and vaginal dryness in perimenopause — and assume it’s just agingWhy women believe they’re “the only one” struggling, even though these issues are incredibly commonHow hormone shifts after 40 affect desire, arousal, and vaginal healthWhy libido is not just about testosteroneHow chronic stress and cortisol suppress sex hormonesWhy sex and stress can’t coexist in the bodyWhy simply adding hormones doesn’t work if the nervous system is overwhelmedHow lifestyle stressors (work, kids, aging parents, poor sleep, under-fueling) impact desireWhy cortisol patterns matter more than cortisol levelsHow gut health and inflammation influence hormones and libidoWhat a true whole-body approach to sexual wellness looks like in midlife📲 Links & Resources: 📸 Follow Dr. Betsy Greenleaf on Instagram 👉https://www.instagram.com/drbetsygreenleaf/?hl=en 🛍️ Get 10% Off The Pelvic Floor Store Use code BFF at checkout 👉 https://pelvicfloorstore.com/discount/BFF 📘 Learn About the BFF Method Nutrition + training designed for women 40+ (Plus free resources to get started) 🎯 🎯 Book a Free Fat Loss Strategy Call 💬 Let’s Stay Connected: 📸 Follow us on Instagram 💬 DM us your biggest takeaway from this episode 🎧 Tell us what topic you want us to cover next 💛 If You Loved This Episode: ✔️ Hit Follow so you never miss an episode ✔️ Share this with a bestie who needs to hear this conversation ✔️ Leave a 5-star review to help more women find real answers instead of suffering in silence ✔️ Save this episode for later — your future self will thank you

    The Mindset Mistakes Keeping Women Over 40 Stuck — Even When They’re “Doing Everything Right

    Send us a text Welcome back to Get Fit in Your 40s. I’m your host, Kosar, and today we’re diving into one of the most overlooked — yet powerful — topics for women over 40: mindset. The internet is full of information about menopause, hormones, diets, fasting, and workouts. But very few people are talking about what’s happening mentally and emotionally when your body starts changing in your 40s — and how those thoughts can keep you stuck. Have you ever woken up and felt like you don’t recognize your body anymore? Stubborn belly fat appears out of nowhere. The diets and workouts that worked in your 20s and 30s stop working. You try harder, restrict more, and blame yourself — while your anxiety and frustration continue to grow. In this episode, we talk about how hormonal shifts in perimenopause impact cortisol, anxiety, and emotional resilience — and why so many women over 40 are being diagnosed with anxiety or depression when their bodies are actually asking for a new approach. We break down why quick fixes and crash diets backfire after 40, how negative self-talk and scale obsession keep women in a downward spiral, and why self-compassion and curiosity are essential for long-term success. This episode will help you shift from: “My body is broken” → “My body is changing”“It’s too late for me” → “My timing is perfect”Punishment and restriction → sustainable habits that work with your hormonesIf you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or disconnected from your body, this episode is your reminder that your body is not working against you — it’s asking for a new strategy. 🔗 Links & Resources 📸 Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/becomefitforever/ BOOK that I recommend: Atomic Habits  You are a badass 🎯 Book a Free Fat Loss Strategy Call https://becomefitforever.com/book-a-call/ 📘 Learn About the BFF Method + Download Free Resources https://becomefitforever.com/free-resources/ 💛 If This Episode Helped You: ✔️ Follow the podcast so you don’t miss an episode ✔️ Share this with a bestie in her 40s ✔️ Leave a 5-star review to help more women find real answers ✔️ Save this episode for later
