Episode 55: Reclaiming Sexual Libido & Pleasure with Dr. Christine Vaccaro

Episode 55 - Dr. Christine Vaccaro, board-certified urogynecologist and sexual health specialist, joins us for a deeply insightful and much-needed conversation about female sexual dysfunction—a topic far too many women are struggling with in silence.

We unpack what sexual dysfunction actually is and the four key types, why low libido is not your fault, how testosterone therapy can support libido, and the surprising truth behind libido issues. You’ll also learn why clitoral health is overlooked in standard gynecology training—and how it might be the missing piece in your sexual wellness puzzle.
