    Episode 14 Addressing low libido and HSDD - When to see your GP and what to expect, with Dr Lisa

    "Navigating Low Libido & HSDD: When to Seek Help and What to Expect" Game Time: RED/AMBER/GREEN In this episode, we start by playing the RED/AMBER/GREEN game with dressing up in the bedroom! I want you to think about how you feel when it comes to role play or costumes during intimacy: * Red: "Nope, not for me." * Amber: "I might be open to exploring this, but I'd like to learn more." * Green: "Yes, I love this and regularly incorporate it into my sex life!" Dressing up and adding a bit of novelty can be a great way to stave off sexual boredom and introduce new excitement into a relationship. Novelty helps keep things fresh and stimulating, but it's important to note that it's not a cure for deeper sexual desire issues like Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). So, while spicing things up with some role-play can be fun, stay tuned to learn more about HSDD and how it's treated. What We're Covering in Today's Episode: 1. What is HSDD? 2. We'll break down the difference between low libido and HSDD, focusing on how HSDD is defined by the distress it causes over a persistent period of time. 3. How is HSDD Assessed? 4. We'll dive into how GPs use the biopsychosocial model, which considers biological, psychological, and social factors when diagnosing HSDD. 5. When to See Your GP 6. Learn when it's time to make an appointment with your GP, especially if your low libido has been troubling you for more than six months. 7. What to Expect During Your GP Appointment 8. From blood tests to hormone levels, find out how your GP will assess your condition and the role testosterone therapy might play, according to the NICE and British Menopause Society guidelines. 9. Self-Help Tips 10. We'll explore ways you can empower yourself before your GP visit, including keeping a desire journal and tracking your symptoms. 11. Empower Yourself During Your Appointment 12. Learn how to advocate for yourself during your GP appointment, ask the right questions, and make sure your concerns are heard. Key Takeaways from the Episode: * Understanding HSDD: We cover the importance of differentiating between a temporary low libido and Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, which affects between 6% and 19% of women globally. * British Menopause Society Guidelines: For postmenopausal women, testosterone therapy can be an effective treatment for HSDD, but it needs to be carefully monitored. * Practical Steps for Self-Care: While seeing a GP is important, we discuss lifestyle changes like managing stress, improving communication with your partner, and introducing novelty into your relationship to help keep desire alive. * Feeling Empowered: We offer step-by-step advice on how to feel more in control of your health and sexual well-being before and during your GP appointment. If you think you may be struggling with HSDD or would like to explore how coaching could help you reclaim your sexual desire, I'm offering free 20-minute consultations.

    Episode 12 - Dealing with life's challenges, becoming empowered, with Dr Liza

    This is episode 12 and it's just me this week (well me and my newborn that I'm baby wearing). I'm discussing how to overcome life's challenges and becoming empowered and sharing some personal experience. It seems timely given I have a newborn and this time is always challenging even if everything goes well. It has certainly been challenging for me given I have been in hospital with the little one every week since he was born! Faith is very important for me and I pray daily so this is something I draw on to help me through difficult times. A scripture came through about humility and this has made me contemplate that part of humility is accepting our own limitations and asking for help. This is something I am going to practice more of now that I realise this is part of humble living. I hadn't considered that before. Have you? I discuss an exercise called 'struggles and strengths' in this episode and hopefully this will help you validate how you feel and accept what you've been through but also realise your strength and character. Let me know how you get on as this has been one of the most transformative exercises I have ever done! I believe asking for help, sharing vulnerabilities is a great way to enhance intimacy. So ultimately this can contribute to sexual wellness too!

    Episode 11 : Sexual wellness, using the right sex toys and lubricants, with Jo Divine

    This is episode 11 and features the incredible Sam from Jo Divine. She has exceptional knowledge in the field of sexual wellness, sex toys and lubricants. We all need to ensure we have skin safe products, ones that don't cause vaginal irritations and infections such as thrush. Often the high street is not a great place to find vaginal friendly sex products! But Jo Divine is a place to shop for safe, effective products as well as evidence based information. Jo Divine, an online store, was founded by Sam and her husband, Paul, in 2007 and allows you to shop skin-safe products discreetly. I often recommend (to both sex coaching clients and my medical patients) the Sutil lubricants and the Yes lubricants as well as the IMMY for women new to sex toys or who are very apprehensive. Jo Divine have a very helpful health brochure to signpost NHS patients too.

    Aromatherapy to improve your health, with Tyler Aromatherapy

    Welcome to this episode of the Pressing Desires Podcast where we talk to Ellie, the founder of Tyler Aromatherapy. We kick off the show with our Red light, Amber light, Green light game! This week's sexual act to consider is Sensual Bondage, so that's using any type of restraint such as handcuffs, silk ties, ropes etc, to restrain hands and feet. A real way to heighten all your senses, enhance intimacy and feel completely vulnerable. What colour is it for you? Let me know! Moving on to Tyler Aromatherapy, I have to say I am a real fan of Ellie's products. I find them so helpful to reduce my stress levels and improve my health and wellbeing. I love the Rozy, Dozy and Cozy bath salts, the Stay Grounded and Women's balance candles and the Women's balance essential oil to add to my diffusers. Ellie talks to us about what aromatherapy is and how it benefits our health. Ellie found her path to Tyler Aromatherapy after going through burnout from working as a midwife in the NHS - the very career that sent her on a training course about aromatherapy!
