This week's episode was supposed to be a deeper dive into perimenopause, but as I started talking, the conversation went somewhere completely different. And honestly, I think it went exactly where it needed to go.I open up about some very personal parts of my health journey, including living with HPV, abnormal pap smears, precancerous cervical cells, and a recent conversation with my doctor about potentially having a partial hysterectomy. That conversation brought up so many questions for me about what happens to our bodies as we age and the parts of womanhood we don't talk about nearly enough.I also share what I've noticed changing in my 40s when it comes to sex, libido, vaginal health, and how those changes have affected the way I see myself as a woman. We talk about vaginal estrogen, recurrent UTIs during perimenopause, my recent experience with an infection I initially ignored, and why listening to our bodies and advocating for our health matters so much.In this episode, we discuss:Living with HPV and my history of abnormal pap smearsWhy my doctor brought up a partial hysterectomySex, libido, vaginal dryness, and intimacy in your 40sVaginal estrogen and vaginal health during perimenopauseMy recent UTI experience and why I wish I had acted soonerLearning to listen to your body and advocate for yourselfIf you've been experiencing changes in your body that you don't understand, putting off an appointment, or simply wondering why no one ever taught us about some of these things, I hope this conversation encourages you to ask questions, listen to your gut, and take your health seriously.Our bodies are such a gift, and sometimes, watching them change can be harder and more emotional than we expect.Here's to asking more questions and learning as we go. ❤️WANT TO JOIN A COMMUNITY THAT UNDERSTANDS THIS?

Een aflevering die je helpt om niet alleen anders naar seksualiteit te kijken, maar vooral naar de manier waarop jij jouw lichaam, energie en leven voedt.

Co, jeśli to, że nie masz ochoty na bliskość, nie jest winą komunikacji ani psychologii, tylko Twoich jelit?W tym odcinku rozmawiam z Roksaną Środą, dietetyczką kliniczną specjalizującą się w zaburzeniach pracy jelit i układu hormonalnego, o tym, jak to, co dzieje się w brzuchu, przekłada się na nasze emocje, libido, cierpliwość wobec partnera i poczucie bezpieczeństwa w związku.Mówimy o jelitach jako "drugim mózgu", o serotoninie i oksytocynie, o błędnym kole stresu i kortyzolu, o najczęstszych błędach żywieniowych kobiet oraz o tym, co realnie zjeść (i czego unikać), żeby wesprzeć bliskość, sen i energię. Na koniec Roksana podpowiada, do jakiego specjalisty zgłosić się najpierw i jak zaplanować wieczór, który naprawdę sprzyja relacji.To rozmowa dla każdej kobiety, która czuje przewlekłe zmęczenie, mgłę mózgową albo spadek ochoty na bliskość i szuka przyczyny głębiej niż "to tylko stres".Jeśli spodobał Ci się ten odcinek, zostaw komentarz i zasubskrybuj kanał, żeby nie przegapić kolejnych rozmów.

Alexandre Dana reçoit reçoit le Dr Marc Galiano, chirurgien urologue, andrologue et spécialiste de la santé masculine. Pourquoi tant d'hommes considèrent-ils la fatigue, la perte de libido ou la baisse d'énergie comme une fatalité liée à l'âge ? Comment distinguer les signes d'une véritable andropause et ne pas la confondre avec une dépression ? Quels examens permettent d'agir avant que les troubles ne s'installent ? Et si bien vieillir passait d'abord par une meilleure connaissance de ses hormones ? Fort de plus de vingt ans de pratique, le Dr Marc Galiano éclaire un sujet encore largement méconnu et invite à dépasser les idées reçues sur la testostérone, la prévention et la santé masculine. Une conversation qui ouvre un autre regard sur le vieillissement des hommes, entre rigueur médicale et conseils concrets pour préserver durablement sa vitalité. Son livre, Andropause : Préservez vos capacités physiques, intellectuelles et sexuelles, est paru aux éditions Flammarion. Épisode #710Quelques citations du podcast avec le dr Marc Galiano :"La testostérone vous accompagne dès la conception jusqu'à la fin.""L'andropause ressemble à une sinusoïde, elle n'est pas rectiligne vers le bas mais c'est une lente descente.""Les hommes, nous avons deux sanctuaires : le cerveau et les testicules."Recevez chaque semaine l'inspirante newsletter Métamorphose par Anne GhesquièreDécouvrez Objectif Métamorphose, notre programme en 12 étapes pour partir à la rencontre de soi-même.Suivez nos RS : Insta, Facebook et TikTokAbonnez-vous sur Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Deezer / Castbox / YouTubeSoutenez Métamorphose en rejoignant la Tribu MétamorphoseThèmes abordés lors du podcast avec le dr Marc Galiano :00:00Introduction02:00Présentation du dr Marc Galiano02:23L'andropause, le grand tabou masculin10:08Testostérone : l'hormone qui vous accompagne toute la vie13:33Les premiers signes à ne pas ignorer19:33La crise de la quarantaine, version médicale22:27Les 4 piliers du bien vieillir et les 3 examens préventifs30:25Cancer de la prostate : ce qu'il faut savoir38:17Viagra, Cialis : quelles recommandations ?Avant-propos et précautions à l'écoute du podcast Photo Quentin Houdas © Éditions Flammarion Hébergé par Acast.

Er ist liebevoll, verlässlich, vielleicht sogar genau der Mann, den du dir nach allem, was du erlebt hast, immer gewünscht hast. Deine Freundinnen sagen: Du hast ja richtig Glück. Und trotzdem spürst du kaum noch Anziehung zu ihm. Kein Prickeln, kein Verlangen, kein Ziehen. Und dann kommt diese leise, quälende Frage: Stimmt etwas nicht mit mir?In dieser Folge nehme ich dich mit auf eine ehrliche Reise zu dem, was wirklich dahintersteckt. Wir sprechen über Mental Load, die unsichtbare Verantwortung, die du täglich trägst, und warum sie dein Verlangen leise erstickt. Warum der Satz „Soll ich dir helfen?" so viel verrät. Warum deine Libido das Erste ist, was dein Körper abschaltet, wenn die Last zu groß wird. Und warum du deinem Partner gegenüber unmerklich in eine mütterliche Rolle rutschst, in der Begehren keinen Platz mehr hat.Wir schauen uns außerdem an, warum sich Sicherheit nach einer toxischen Beziehung erst fremd anfühlt, wieso dein Nervensystem Anspannung mit Anziehung verwechselt hat und wie alte Muster aus deiner Kindheit deine heutige Vorstellung von Liebe unbemerkt überlagern. Zum Schluss bekommst du drei konkrete Schritte, zwei kleine Übungen und einen sicheren Weg, wie du das Thema mit deinem Partner ansprechen kannst, ohne ihn zu verletzen und ohne dass er in Panik verfällt.✨ Das erwartet dich in dieser Folge:▶️ Warum fehlende Anziehung nichts über deine Liebe aussagen muss▶️ Entspannung und Polarität: die zwei Voraussetzungen für Verlangen▶️ Mental Load: die unsichtbare Last und was sie mit deinem Körper macht▶️ „Soll ich dir helfen?" Warum dieser Satz so viel verrät▶️ Warum du unmerklich in eine mütterliche Rolle rutschst▶️ Anspannung ist nicht Anziehung: was du früher als Liebe abgespeichert hast▶️ Psychologische Projektion: wenn alte Muster mitsprechen▶️ Was das Ganze mit deinem Frausein macht▶️ Drei Schritte, damit Anziehung zurückkehren kann▶️ Wie du mit deinem Partner darüber sprichst, ohne ihn zu verletzen
Send us Fan MailAnd….we're BACK with a fresh new season of the Bare Marriage podcast! We're kicking things off with a lively deep dive into the debate over purity culture, asking what happens when influential Christian voices revise their past teachings, redefine the terms, and rewrite the history of what they once taught. We unpack the difference between biblical chastity and shame-based purity culture, take on straw man arguments and shifting definitions, and explore how messages about sex, marriage, authority, and obligation can shape the church in ways we may not always recognize. Real change requires more than just saying something was harmful - it requires honesty, accountability, and a willingness to pursue better fruit. This is Part 1 of a 3-part series, so let's get to it and be sure to tune in next week!CHECK OUT OUR OCTOBER SIMULCAST EVENTWe're doing our sex talk and a one-day marriage conference!

Do you love your husband... but still feel disconnected?Have you ever thought:"I want to feel close sexually again." "My sex drive isn't what it used to be." "We're often in different worlds." "I don't know how to get intimacy back."Friend, what if the real issue isn't your sex drive?What if fear of rejection, emotional self-protection, and waiting for your husband to go first have quietly created distance between the two of you?In this episode of Midlife Marriage Makeover, we're talking about one of the biggest hidden blocks to intimacy, emotional connection, romance, libido, and sex drive in midlife marriage.You'll discover:• Why fear of rejection can quietly lower your sex drive and desire for intimacy • How emotional self-protection creates distance in marriage • Why emotional connection often comes before physical intimacy • The surprising power of touch, eye contact, affection, and physical closeness • Simple ways to rebuild intimacy, romance, and emotional connection with your husband • How Romans 12:2 can transform the way you think about marriage, desire, and connection • Why God's design for marriage includes emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacyIf you've been feeling lonely in marriage, struggling with low libido, missing emotional connection, or wondering why intimacy feels harder in midlife, this episode is for you.Friend, your sex drive is not broken. Your marriage is not hopeless. And intimacy is not just for newlyweds.God designed marriage for friendship, affection, emotional connection, romance, and sexual intimacy. Sometimes the breakthrough begins when one person decides to stop protecting herself and start moving toward connection.
You've been told menopause is a hormonal transition. It's also a vascular one, and almost nobody is talking about it. In this episode, Karen sits back down with Cathy Eason, Chief Science Officer at Berkeley Life, for round two on a molecule most women have never heard of but should know by heart: nitric oxide. It is tiny, it is a gas, and it touches nearly every system in your body. When estrogen drops in perimenopause and menopause, nitric oxide production drops right along with it, and that decline may be quietly connected to your fatigue, your brain fog, your blood pressure, your blood sugar, and yes, your libido. Karen and Cathy get specific about the vascular side of midlife that rarely makes it into the conversation. That includes what nitric oxide has to do with responsive desire versus spontaneous desire, why heart disease risk climbs even in women who feel healthy, and what your labs might be trying to tell you before anything feels obviously wrong. Cathy also shares a personal story involving her spouse's vascular event that reframes how seriously women need to take this. This one connects a lot of dots. If you've ever felt like your energy, your desire, and your health markers were somehow all falling apart at once with no clear explanation, this episode is going to make a lot more sense of it. In This Episode, We Cover: What nitric oxide actually does in the body and why it touches nearly every organ system The direct link between declining estrogen and declining nitric oxide production Why fatigue is the number one reported symptom in perimenopause and menopause, and the physiological reason behind it How nitric oxide affects blood sugar, digestion, and insulin sensitivity The connection between nitric oxide, brain fog, mood, and sleep Why responsive desire is normal for most women, and what blood flow has to do with it What time of day your circulation actually peaks, and why that matters for sex The lifestyle habits quietly depleting your nitric oxide without you realizing it What labs and at-home tests can hint that you're running low A personal story about a spouse's vascular event and why women need to take heart health seriously now, not later Who This Episode Is For This episode is for the woman who has been chasing energy, sleep, and libido fixes without ever hearing about the blood flow piece. It's for anyone who has been told her labs are normal but she still doesn't feel like herself. It's especially relevant if you're on HRT and not getting the full results you expected, or if heart health has never really been on your radar because you don't have metabolic disease. If you've noticed cold hands, brain fog, low energy, or a sex drive that disappeared and you've been chalking it up to just getting older, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I explore how understanding your menstrual cycle, hormones, and changing life stages can help you make sense of shifts in libido—and prevent those changes from creating unnecessary conflict in your relationship. Libido is about more than sex drive; it is also connected to energy, vitality, confidence, and feminine energy.Listen in to hear me share:The many factors that can influence desire, including stress, sleep, mental and physical health, medications, body image, and relationship qualityThe difference between spontaneous and responsive desireMy “finish line and obstacles” analogy for understanding why desire sometimes feels closer or farther awayHow the menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases can affect mood, energy, and libidoHow desire may change during pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and menopauseWhy changes in libido should not automatically be taken personally by either partnerPractical ways to track your cycle, communicate your needs, prioritize your health, and build greater emotional and physical intimacy+so much moreConnect with Lauren:Get my FREE PCOS Guide hereJoin the Empowered Path to Pregnancy hereInstagramWork With MeThank you so much for listening to the About Health and Hormones Podcast!

In this week's episode, we sit down with Dr. Sameena Rahman, MD, a board-certified OB/GYN and menopause & sexual medicine expert, and podcast host of "Gyno Girl". After pivoting from academic medicine at USC to a private practice where she could treat patients on her own terms, she now solves the isolating problem of women "not feeling like themselves" due to hormonal chaos. We explore the deeper "why" behind midlife—reclaiming agency by refusing to normalize discomfort, addressing the mental toll of the "perfect storm" of life stress, and understanding how to stop your hormones from stealing your essence. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: ➡️ The Truth About Perimenopausal Rage: Why your "short fuse" is actually a cellular reaction to estrogen receptors from head to toe. ➡️ HSDD 101: A guide to Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder and the "Biohacking" tools—like testosterone and neurochemistry shifts—used to revive your libido. ➡️ The "Karen" Myth-Busting: Why many midlife outbursts labeled as "Karen" behavior are actually untreated hormonal dysregulation. ➡️ The Rage Ritual: Why we need to ditch "aging gracefully" for cathartic releases like primal screaming and "letting it rip" to maintain sanity.

Die Kältetherapie in sogenannten Kryokammern kann laut Herstellern viel: Beispielsweise gegen Müdigkeit, Erschöpfung, Depression, beginnende Demenz, schwindende Libido und beim Abnehmen helfen. Auch das Immunsystem soll sie stärken, für straffere Haut sorgen und die Leistung von Sportlern steigern. Aber was sagt die Wissenschaft zu diesem angeblichen Wundermittel?

Today we're speaking with James about testosterone replacement for women plus the benefits and drawbacks that come along with it, particularly during the transformative stages of perimenopause and menopause. We'll talk about how testosterone and other hormones play a role not just in sexual desire, but also mood, energy, and cognitive functions. From sleep patterns to genetic predispositions, we explore how to address different health concerns while also recognizing the importance of prescription medications and the power of lifestyle changes. In this episode we discuss: Why testosterone therapy can both boost libido and cause hair thinning in women. How hormonal balances involving testosterone, estradiol, dopamine, and progesterone impact sexual health. Why androgens like testosterone and DHT enhance libido through increased dopamine. How women's sensitivity to androgens influences their response to testosterone therapies. Why natural and pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors manage DHT levels. How cardiovascular health and blood flow play crucial roles in sexual wellness for women. Why supplements like citrulline can improve sexual function. How peptides like PT-141 and Melanotan affect sex drive and overall health. Why the melanocortin receptors link sunlight exposure to sexual drive. How early-onset baldness in women can relate to genetics, stress, and hormonal changes. Why ferritin levels and thyroid function are vital for hair growth. How treatments like dutasteride and oral minoxidil offer solutions for hair loss. Why patience is essential when using medications for hair loss, and side effects to consider. How different treatments, like herbal DHT blockers and copper peptides, aid hair health. Why bridging functional and conventional medicine creates personalized health plans.

Robert explains how tadalafil may support physical arousal through blood flow, how oxytocin is associated with connection and bonding, and how apomorphine works with brain pathways involved in arousal and desire. Eve and Robert explore the relationship between the brain, body, intimacy, and sexuality—opening up an important conversation about women's libido, desire, sexual confidence, and the many factors that influence arousal. This episode is an educational conversation about women's sexual wellness and emerging treatment options. It is not medical advice.

Ihr Lieben, schnallt euch an. Alina kommt frisch aus dem Urlaub und fällt direkt mit der Tür ins Haus: Es war die Hölle. Denn Urlaub mit Kleinkind und Baby ist kein Urlaub – das ist Alltag an einem heißeren Ort, nur ohne eure Hilfsmittel und mit doppelt so vielen Wutausbrüchen. Wir reden Kneif-Attacken, selbstgebaute Poolzäune und 40 Grad Fieber pünktlich auf dem Rückflug. Spoiler: Am Ende heulen wir alle. Dazu: Fannys kleine Hype-Frau ("cooles Kleid, Mama!"), Alinas Umzug, Familienbett-Chaos mit Füßen im Gesicht – und dann wird's pikant: unterbrochener Pool-Sex, Kondom vs. Vasektomie und Fannys ehrliches Pillen-Update (drei Jahre keine Libido, was seit dem Absetzen zurück ist). Und das große Ding: Wir gehen 2026 auf TOUR – Berlin, Hamburg, Köln, München, ganz klein und intim. Details folgen, schreibt uns in die Kommentare, wo ihr uns sehen wollt!

Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
The antidote to a boring sex life isn't trying harder, it's trying something new together — Take the quiz at arya.fyi and use code: TRUTH15 for 15% off their guided intimacy subscription at https://arya.fyi/start?rfsn=8333683.c9f861In this episode of Taboo To Truth, I sit down with Sabrina Johnson — founder, president, and CEO of Daré Bioscience — to tackle a question that's been 27 years overdue: where is the female equivalent of Viagra?Sabrina breaks down the critical distinction between libido (desire, the mental appetite for sex) and physical arousal (the body's blood flow response), explaining why the two require completely different solutions — and why the pharmaceutical industry has largely ignored the latter in women. She shares the science and story behind Dare to Play, a topical sildenafil cream engineered with proprietary Dermaflex technology to deliver the active ingredient directly to genital tissue, enhancing physical arousal sensations within 10–15 minutes.We cover how Dare to Play compares to existing options like Addyi, Vyleesi, and testosterone — and why none of those address physical arousal the way this does. We also clear up a common misconception: this is not a lubricant. It works from the inside out, enhancing the body's natural lubrication response through increased blood flow.Sabrina walks us through exactly how to get a prescription today — via your own provider or a free telehealth consult— and explains the pricing: $99/tube, 10 doses, roughly $10 per use. Currently out of pocket (no insurance), but intentionally priced for access.This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation you won't want to miss.In This Episode:0:00 – Ad: Aria.FYI0:55 – Welcome to Taboo to Truth1:30 – Meet Sabrina Johnson, CEO of Daré Bioscience2:15 – Libido vs. Physical Arousal: What's Actually the Difference?5:15 – The Real Reason There's No Female Viagra (Until Now)8:15 – Introducing Dare to Play: Sildenafil Cream Engineered for Women10:15 – How to Get a Prescription Today (Free Telehealth Consult)13:15 – What Does It Cost?

Is modern wellness actually making us healthier... or just more anxious? Are peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 safe? Can I be aroused if I have low libido? Double board-certified physician associate Ashley Madsen is here to give one of the most refreshingly honest conversations on modern health, longevity, hormones, peptides, nervous system regulation, and the growing culture of optimization. She explains why social media has turned wellness into a full-time job, why personalized medicine matters more than following influencers, and why emotional health may be the missing foundation beneath nearly every aspect of physical performance. Ashley also delivers one of the clearest explanations you'll hear on peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500, hormone replacement therapy, libido as a vital health marker, wearable technology, nervous system regulation, nitric oxide, cardiovascular health, and why many people are chasing expensive biohacks while neglecting the fundamentals that truly move the needle.

This episode explores how to use GLP-1 medications like semaglutide/Ozempic and tirzepatide/Mounjaro safely and effectively. Dr. Mike Hart and Dr. Christle Guevarra Do discuss once-weekly dosing, individualized titration, optimal dose selection, food noise, appetite suppression, and the risks of dosing mistakes with vials or gray-market peptides. They also cover why resistance training, protein, fiber, and realistic nutrition habits are essential for preserving muscle and maintaining results. The conversation expands into GLP-1 benefits beyond weight loss, including cardiovascular protection, inflammation, autoimmune flares, addiction-related behaviors, alcohol cravings, libido, menstrual cycles, PCOS, sleep apnea, and what to expect when stopping the medication. Dr. Christle Guevarra Do is a physician focused on obesity medicine, GLP-1 education, weight management, and sustainable lifestyle change. Drawing from both her clinical experience and her own long-term use of GLP-1 medication, she helps patients understand how these medications fit into the bigger picture of long-term health. Her approach emphasizes individualized care, strength training, nutrition, behavior change, and realistic maintenance strategies rather than quick fixes. In this episode, she shares practical guidance for using GLP-1s responsibly while protecting muscle, managing hunger, and building habits that support lasting results.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Dave Lee, we break down some of the most common questions men have about testosterone replacement therapy.How long does it take to see results? What should men realistically expect in the first few weeks? And how do you know if treatment is actually working?Dave explains why TRT is not an overnight fix, but a process of moving in the right direction. Libido, mood, energy, and motivation may start to improve within the first several weeks, but the real marker of progress is not always perfection — it is movement.One of the biggest mindset mistakes men make is measuring how far they still have to go instead of recognizing how far they have already come. Going from a 1 to a 3 may not feel like the finish line, but it is still meaningful progress.We also discuss common side effects, what men should watch for, and why proper monitoring, dosing, and expectations matter when it comes to safe and effective testosterone optimization.This episode is for any man considering TRT, currently on TRT, or trying to better understand what realistic progress should look like.Dave Lee's Instagram Click HEREVictory Men's Health Click HEREFor questions email podcast@amystuttle.comDisclaimer: The Women Want Strong Men Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional healthcare services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it actually mean to be a “good man” in today's world—and does Christianity offer something deeper than dominance, leadership clichés, or internet manosphere culture? In this thoughtful and surprisingly hopeful conversation, Zachary Wagner joins us to unpack masculinity through the lens of the fruits of the Spirit, exploring everything from loneliness and power to marriage, self-control, parenting boys, and the modern crisis of meaning for men. Together, we challenge shallow cultural narratives and argue that true strength looks a lot more like love, service, courage, and emotional maturity than performance or control. Listen in as we propose a healthier vision of manhood for both men and the people who love them.TO SUPPORT US: Join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month to support our work (and get access to the book club!)And check out our Merch, or any of our courses!Give to the Good Fruit Faith Initiative of the Bosko FoundationJoin our email list!LINKS MENTIONED: Zachary Wagner's WebsiteZachary's Book: “Men of Virtue”Our conversation with Zachary about his book Non-Toxic MasculinitySupport the showJoin Sheila at Bare Marriage.com!Check out her books:The Great Sex Rescue She Deserves BetterThe Marriage You Want and the Study Guide The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great SexAnd she has an Orgasm Course and a Libido course too!Check out all her courses, FREE resources, social media, books, and so much more at Sheila's LinkTree.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you know the old “because I said so” parenting style isn't healthy…but you also don't want to raise entitled little tyrants? In this episode, parenting coach Wendy Snyder joins us for a deeply practical, heartfelt, (and hilariously honest) conversation about strong-willed kids, emotional regulation, yelling, boundaries, anxiety, and what healthy authority actually looks like in family life. Together, we unpack the difference between authoritarian, permissive, and powerful parenting—and why so many parents swing wildly between all three. From power struggles and picky eaters to shame spirals and unmet emotional needs, this episode is packed with compassionate, evidence-based wisdom that will leave you feeling both challenged and hopeful.
