What if the biggest barrier to better sex isn’t your body, your partner, or your libido, but the shame and silence surrounding it? In this episode, Dr Mariam sits down with Australia’s go-to sexologist, Chantelle Otten, for a candid, practical and deeply reassuring conversation about sex, intimacy and why so many of us are still too embarrassed to talk about what’s happening in the bedroom. From mismatched libidos and postpartum desire dips to painful sex, vaginismus and the mental load that can kill the mood before anyone even makes it to bed, Chantelle explains why great sex isn’t about performance, it’s about curiosity, communication and giving yourself permission to change the rules. Plus, she answers your anonymous listener questions: Why can you orgasm alone but not with a partner? Is it normal to lose all desire after kids? And what should you know before going to your first sex party? GET IN TOUCH Sign up to the Well Newsletter to receive your weekly dose of trusted health expertise without the medical jargon.

For years, women have been told that declining desire in midlife is simply a hormone problem—or worse, just an inevitable part of aging. But what if that's only part of the story?In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Julie Merriman—counselor, professor, researcher, author, podcaster, and speaker—to explore why so many women feel disconnected from intimacy, pleasure, and themselves during midlife, and how healing the nervous system can help reignite desire, confidence, and connection from the inside out.If you've ever thought:• "I just don't feel like myself anymore."• "I love my partner, but I have no interest in intimacy."• "Maybe this is just what happens as I get older."• "My hormones must be the problem."Then this conversation is for you.We discuss why low desire isn't always a hormone issue, the hidden impact chronic stress has on libido and intimacy, the biggest myths women believe about desire after 50, and how years of caregiving, people-pleasing, high achievement, and emotional exhaustion can disconnect women from their bodies and their capacity for pleasure.You'll also learn practical ways to reconnect with yourself, understand the role your nervous system plays in intimacy, and hear about Dr. Julie's Desire Reboot Framework™, which has helped hundreds of women move from feeling emotionally shut down and exhausted to feeling alive, present, and connected again.In This Episode:✔ Why hormones aren't the whole story when it comes to low libido✔ The connection between nervous system health, stress, and desire✔ Common myths about sex and intimacy after 50✔ How chronic stress can leave women feeling emotionally numb and disconnected✔ Why so many high-achieving women struggle with pleasure and connection✔ Practical ways to begin rebuilding intimacy with yourself and your partner✔ The Desire Reboot Framework™ and what it looks like in real lifeConnect with Dr. Julie MerrimanWebsite: Julie Merriman PhDInstagram: @dr.juliemerrimanFree Resource – Reignite Your Fire & DesireConnect with MonikaIf you're struggling with stubborn weight, low energy, mood changes, or symptoms that you've been told are "normal," DM SYMPTOMS on Instagram @monikaeeva to learn how functional testing can uncover the hidden hormone, gut, inflammation, and mineral imbalances keeping you stuck.Thanks for listening.

In this episode, Dr. Erin sits down with Dr. Jordan Wiggins, a Naturopathic Doctor, women's health educator, and founder of The Pleasure Collective. Together, they pull back the curtain on a massive, yet frequently ignored issue in women's health: sexual dysfunction and low libido. If you've been told your labs are "normal" but you still feel exhausted, disconnected, and devoid of desire, this conversation is for you. Dr. Wiggins breaks down why low libido is rarely just a hormonal issue, reframing it instead as the "pink canary" in the coal mine, a warning light that your nervous system is stuck in survival mode. From adrenal burnout to the relational dynamics that block pleasure, this episode offers a holistic look at how high-achieving women can reclaim their bodies and vibrancy. In this episode, you will learn: Why a disappearing libido is actually a brilliant defense mechanism and an early warning light for deeper physiological, adrenal, and nervous system imbalances. Why optimal hormone levels on paper don't automatically equal a thriving sex life, and why social media heavily overstates hormones as a "silver bullet." How chronic stress and a dysregulated nervous system physically turn off the pleasure centers in the brain, making touch feel less pleasurable and orgasms harder to achieve. How high-achieving characteristics like over-responsibility, high empathy, and chronic caretaking force women into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn states effectively acting as a birth control of their own. How conventional, penetration-focused "sex scripts" underserve women, and why teaching women how to explore their erotic capacity matters more than giving them a clinical diagnosis (like HSDD). How to utilize daily pleasure practices outside of the bedroom to rebuild a sense of safety, lower cortisol, and naturally restore an accessible state of desire.

If you've been trying to figure out how to want sex more and nothing is working — this episode is going to explain why. And it's probably not the answer you've heard before.A lot of people struggling with low desire or low libido have already done the reading. They understand the concepts. Their body still hasn't gotten the memo. That's not a character flaw. It's the wrong sequence.In this episode, I cover:Why desire and arousal are not the same thing — and why the order they happen in matters more than most people realizeWhat responsive desire actually is, what the research says (including Rosemary Basson's work on how desire really works for most women), and why the model in most medical textbooks is wrongWhat your nervous system has to do with low desire — and why this is the piece that's almost always missing from mainstream adviceHow cultural conditioning and shame get wired into the body at a level that thinking simply can't reachWhere your mind actually does help with desire — and what most people are doing with it instead that's actively working against themIf you've read the books, done the therapy, and you still feel stuck in your head, this one is for you.Resources mentioned: Episode 5 (core desires and erotic emotions) | Free guide: Get Out of Your Head at laurajurgens.com/guide | Substack: laurajurgens.substack.comGet my free guide: Get Out of Your Head: A Starter Guide to Releasing the Pressure, Shame, and "Shoulds" Around Intimacy at https://laurajurgens.com/guideFind out more about my offerings and read the blog: https://laurajurgens.com/Copyright notice: All content in this podcast is copyrighted and copying, scraping, data mining, or using the content to train AI is prohibited.

I'll be honest, this episode felt a little different to record - a little exciting, and a little nerve-wracking. Because instead of focusing on the usual physical side of your hormones, I'm going deeper into something we don't talk about as often: the emotional and especially spiritual roots behind symptoms like PMS, hormone imbalance, and low libido.I talk a lot about food, minerals, gut health, and detox on this podcast. And those things matter. But sometimes the reason symptoms linger isn't just physical. Our health is deeply connected to the emotions we carry. From subtle victim-mindset patterns to long-held (shame-filled) beliefs about our bodies, sexuality, and identity as women, these patterns can keep our nervous system in stress mode and influence how our bodies function.In this episode, you'll hear about:The mindset patterns many high-functioning women fall into without realizing itA group of hidden emotions that can quietly show up as physical symptomsWhy prayer, reflection, and emotional healing can influence symptoms like PMS and libido more than we expectI also share a personal moment where prayer helped me recognize emotional roots I had been holding onto and how releasing them shifted what I felt in my body almost immediately.If you've never thought about your hormones through this lens before, this conversation may feel both surprising and liberating.Nourish Tracker - Discount code: HAPPILYHORMONALBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meGrab your Happily Hormonal Quick Start GuideNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

In this midweek LIVE, I tackle a wide range of questions that hit both theology and real‑life struggle.

Chinese medicine asks why they showed up in the first place. Jiaming Ju is a second-generation Chinese medicine practitioner whose father trained for decades in the mountains on the North Korea-China border — where the most potent medicinal herbs in the world still grow. Jiaming walked away from a rising career as one of the world's youngest longevity economists to carry that lineage forward, and the results speak for themselves: patients with long Covid, endometriosis, PCOS, and autoimmune conditions that "couldn't be fixed" — healing. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why your anxiety, bloating, brain fog, and painful periods are all the same problem — and what your liver and digestion have to do with it • The Chinese medicine view on ADHD, depression, and why medicating the symptom without addressing the root makes things worse over time • Why stubborn weight that won't budge has less to do with what you're eating and more to do with what happened to your digestion years ago If you've been patching symptoms without ever asking why your body got there — this conversation will change how you see everything.

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Gut Health Transformation Strategies for a Better Belly, Brain, and Body
Have you been told you have low estrogen — and the solution was immediately birth control or hormone replacement — but no one could explain why your estrogen is low in the first place? Or maybe you haven't even tested yet, but you're dealing with classic low estrogen symptoms like dry skin, low libido, thinning hair, weight gain, anxiety, or brain fog… and you're wondering if low estrogen could be the missing piece. Or maybe you have tried supplements, hormones, or lifestyle changes to raise estrogen — and nothing sticks. You feel better for a minute… then crash again. And you're left asking: Why won't my hormones actually rebalance? If you said “yes” to any of those, this episode is for you. Today we're continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I take conditions that are commonly treated like the root cause — and show you what's actually driving them underneath. This matters because confusing a symptom for a root cause is the fastest way to stay stuck… even when you're “doing all the right things.” Today's topic is low estrogen. In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why low estrogen really happensCommon low estrogen signs and side effects Why artificially boosting estrogen sets you up for potentially worse problems long-termThe five real root causes that lead to low estrogenAnd the exact tests to find which root causes you are uniquely dealing with And one more thing — for this entire Real Root Cause Series, I've created visuals. If you're a visual learner, or you want to see the full big-picture flow of what's draining your hormones, head to betterbellytherapies.com/root to download the graphics that go with this episode. Because when you stop trying to raise estrogen by force and start restoring the vitality your body needs to make hormones again — that's when you get full-body transformation.

This week we’re chatting low libido and why it's a thing! We talk about what we tolerated “back in the day,” the pressure to perform, and why men can switch it on just like that, but if you dare to pack the dishwasher in the wrong way we're turned off for at least a week! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Low libido doesn't just “happen.” And for women, you may not realize that it's rarely just about hormones.In this deeply honest episode of Crying In My Cheesecake, Dr. Danielle exposes the quiet grief behind low libido—the grief no one talks about, but so many women are carrying. This isn't a conversation about quick fixes, supplements, or surface-level hormone hacks. It's about resentment, exhaustion, lost identity, emotional overload, and the slow disappearance of yourself under responsibility, service, and survival mode.If you've been telling yourself, “Something must be wrong with me,” this episode invites you to pause and consider a deeper truth: libido doesn't disappear — there's always more to the story. Dr. Danielle unpacks how grief, resentment, cultural pressure, and chronic self-neglect shut down desire long before hormones ever do. She challenges common narratives around femininity, marriage, and sacrifice, while offering a faith-based, root-cause path back to yourself.This episode is for the woman who is tired of pretending, tired of pushing through, and ready to stop surviving and start healing—mind, body, soul, and spirit.SERVICES & MEMBERSHIPS:Blood Sugar ExplorersAdventurerSubstackCoffee Cafe Registration$7 Mentorship: How to Fix Your Energy, Cravings, and Mood in Just One DayWork With Dr. DanielleFoundational PackageComprehensive PackageFREE RESOURCES:
Avoiding sex? Feeling the "ick" when your partner initiates? Going to bed at 8pm to dodge intimacy? You probably think you have low libido. But what if that's not what's actually happening?In this vulnerable episode, I share my own story of years spent in what I call "the messy middle"—that phase where you've stopped having sex you don't want, but you haven't figured out what you DO want yet. From the outside, it looked like my libido vanished. But what was really happening? My body was setting boundaries after years of performing intimacy.I walk you through the three phases: passive withdrawal (where most people get stuck), learning to own your voice and have the hard conversation, and discovering your authentic pleasure. I also share the specific fears that keep people stuck—"What if talking about this makes it worse?"—and what actually helps you move forward.Note: This pattern happens most for women due to socialization, but it affects anyone who's learned to perform sexually rather than connect authentically.If you're in the messy middle, this episode will help you understand why—and what comes next.Special Course Announcement: limited time, last enrollment: Thriving Together, Couples Healing Attachment Patterns Through TouchA Groundbreaking 6-Week Live Online Workshopwith Dr. Aline LaPierre & Dr. Laura Jurgens starts February 1, 2026https://neuroaffectivetouch.com/thriving-togetherGet my free guide: 5 Steps to Start Solving Desire Differences (Without Blame or Shame), A Practical Starting Point for Individuals and Couples, at https://laurajurgens.com/libido Find out more about me at https://laurajurgens.com/ Read The Desire Gap Blog at https://laurajurgens.com/the-desire-gap-blog/
Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Sonja: Dr Cabral thank you so much for all of the wonderful education you have been sharing with us over the years to help us be healthier. My family and I greatly appreciate it along with so many others around the world! I am a 60 year old woman who was diagnosed with hemochromatosis about 2 and 1/2 years ago. Thanks to the minerals and metals test that I completed which raised a red flag on the iron level, I was able to get my doctor to do a ferritin blood test to find out that my level was at 725! Over the past couple of years, I have been working with a hematologist and getting therapeutic phlebotomies as needed. I eat clean, workout and have an overall healthy lifestyle with minimal alcohol consumption. I do a 7-Day Detox 3 to 4 times a year, daily DNS shake along with multiple Equilife supplements. My question to you is - if I was your aunt what protocols or recommendations would you have for me? I would love to reverse the diagnosis of hemochromatosis. In addition, what would be the ferritin range that you would recommend? My hematologist wants it as low as possible (around 30) however my energy is very low when it's at the levels that he desires. Thank you so much for everything that you do. Sonja Peter: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for the great work you do and your books! I'm generally in good health and currently not on any medications. For the past 2–3 years I've been very consistent with lifestyle habits: clean diet, training 5–6x/week (3x strength, 2x cardio, 1x HIIT), no alcohol, consistent sleep schedule, sauna ~3x/week, and daily bowel movements. Despite this, I've experienced low libido for several years. It fluctuates, but I haven't been able to identify clear triggers or improvements. A few years ago, blood work showed elevated prolactin. My doctor prescribed Dostinex (dopamine agonist), which resolved libido symptoms effectively, but felt too strong. I'd prefer to identify and address the underlying cause rather than suppress symptoms. Recent blood work again shows elevated prolactin and elevated SHBG. Free testosterone is low. Blood sugar is within range but not optimal given my lifestyle. LDL is also elevated. Primary symptoms • Low libido (low initial drive, rare or absent morning erections) • Skin issues for ~1.5 years (none prior): – Redness on chin and temples, flaring after meals and after B-complex supplements – Small forehead bumps resembling acne that appear and disappear within a day Secondary symptoms • Slightly flat mood • Low muscle gain relative to training effort • Occasional cold hands • Frequent urination (including at night) • Low evening energy • Reduced interest in socializing I've tried various supplements over time but without a clear framework or plan. I'm hoping you could share your thoughts on possible root causes and what testing or protocol you would prioritize. Thank you for your work and guidance! Best, Peter Michelle: Hi Stephen, I've experienced sensitivity to Equilife's Florafilm & another brand of proteolytic enzymes (nausea & vomiting). I have no allergies and have never experienced a negative reaction to a supplement. I am in overall good health and not on any medication and was wondering what might be causing such a reaction? I tried taking just one of the capsules instead of two on an empty stomach and experienced similar side effects. Is this product by chance enteric coated? I read that could help prevent side effects. Lastly is there a product you could recommend in its place to help remove biofilms so that the Para Support protocol will continue to be most effective? I found a product that contains Bismuth Subnitrate, Alpha lipoic Acid and Black Cumin (Priority One Biolm). Would it be ok to take this product in place of the Florafilm? I have been taking just one capsule of it with no side effects (product recommends 2 capsules 4 days a week) or is there a better solution as I do want to do some other Equilife protocols and noticed they also contain the Florafilm product. I love your Podcast and Equilife products and disappointed this one doesn't work for me. Thank you for all you do! Larissa: Hello Dr Cabral. My 4yrs old son is allergic to dogs, I suspect the saliva. When he pets a dog nothing happens but when a dog licks him or his hands and he touches his face, that area gets red and swollen within minutes. Is this common? Is it possible this will go away? Is there a way to test him for this and more importantly treat him for this? I've heard of the NAET protocol, do you recommend this? Appreciate any advice!

I see this over and over. Women doing everything right and still stuck. Clean eating. Steps. Hormone panels. Gut work. And nothing changes.This episode is me telling the truth most people avoid. Your body is not resisting you. It does not feel safe.When safety is missing, fat stays. Libido drops. Energy flatlines. Progress stops.This is not mindset work or motivational fluff. This is about your nervous system, your hormones, your lived experience, and the patterns your body has been protecting you with for years.I break down why willpower will never fix this, why most protocols fail, and what actually ends the cycle for good. If you are done guessing and ready to understand what your body has been trying to say, this episode is for you.Support the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App. $30M client wins | $7.8M sold onlineRich isn't rare.

Passion doesn't disappear because something is wrong with you.It disappears because desire requires different fuel than love. In this provocative and deeply honest conversation, Rebecca Whitman sits down with Dr. Diane Mueller—doctor of naturopathy, libido expert, and bestselling author—to unpack why sex often fades in long-term relationships and what actually brings desire back. This episode dismantles the myth that low libido means something is broken. Instead, we explore how hormones, stress, emotional safety, and modern burnout quietly shut desire down—and how to reignite passion without shame, pressure, or blowing up your life. If you love your partner but miss wanting them, this conversation will change how you see desire forever.
f you've ever wondered, “Why don't I feel desire anymore?” or quietly asked, “What's wrong with me?” — this episode is for you.In this episode of Miracle Marriage Makeover, I share what God showed me in my own marriage during a season of grief, change, and emotional distance. You'll learn why desire often shuts down in midlife and the empty nest — not because something is broken in you, but because your heart is longing for emotional safety and connection.We talk about why desire is responsive, not defective…Why trying harder doesn't restore intimacy…And how gentle, faith-filled shifts can begin bringing closeness back.If you love your husband but feel distant, confused, or quietly lonely, I want you to know — you are not failing.And if you want to walk this season with women who understand, I'd love to invite you into my private Facebook group:Empty Nest Wives – Rebuilding Intimacy & Connectionhttps://www.facebook.com/share/g/161mSZ1zmG/Your desire isn't broken. Your heart isn't too late. And God is still writing your story.
Many men assume their struggle with sex is about low libido — but often, it's something deeper. In this episode, David breaks down Sexual Intimacy Resistance in Men: why desire fades even when love is still there, and how intimacy itself can start to feel threatening on a nervous-system level. Rather than blaming attraction, hormones, or performance, this conversation reveals what's really happening beneath the surface — and why fixing libido misses the point. If you're experiencing emotional distance, reduced initiation, numbness during sex, or a growing wall between you and your partner, this episode offers clarity on the unseen patterns blocking intimacy — and what actually helps restore closeness and desire. Topics Covered What sexual intimacy resistance really is (and isn't) Why it's different from low libido or fear of intimacy How the nervous system blocks arousal and closeness Common patterns in avoidant and high-functioning men How resentment, pressure, and shame kill desire Why intimacy must be treated as a closeness issue — not a performance problem
Diane Mueller called in to talk all about the physical causes of low libido, boredom in the bedroom and more.

Many women I talk to struggle enjoying physical touch during sex. They don't know their experience can be any other way so they continue trying to enjoy things they don't like and then label themselves as “non-sexual”. In our conversation, my husband and I discuss:• why so many women push themselves to initiate or say yes even when their body is clearly uncomfortable • why discomfort is so often normalized through culture, media, and silence • the real fears women carry about speaking up and the consequences they're trying to avoid • why this can feel shocking or confusing for men when the truth finally comes outIf having a closer, more connected and joyful sex life is something you want in your relationship, this episode is an important one to listen to.Sign up for Janna's brand new workshop on Jan. 15.

Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ Episode Description In this Sex with Emily episode, Dr. Emily and producer Erica tackle your trickiest relationship and sex questions—and some of these situations are messier than you think. The wife having sex 5+ times a week who's being pressured to set midnight alarms so her husband can wake her up for more—why this isn't about frequency at all, and the real need he's actually trying to fill. That guy who insists oral sex should only happen "on special occasions" because it gets "taken for granted": what this scarcity mindset reveals about his past relationships, his skill anxiety, or his actual preference—and whether this is a dealbreaker you're discovering early. The biological reason men wake up ready for sex in the middle of the night while their partners are deep asleep—and why disrupting your sleep hygiene to feel "desired" is a Band-Aid on a much deeper issue. When your partner believes doing something too often creates expectations they can't meet: the philosophy problem that shows up in bed and everywhere else, and what "taken for granted" really means about their view on compliments, effort, and intimacy. Why oral sex as foreplay is the norm, not the exception—and how to navigate a partner who sees it as the main event that loses its magic with repetition. Plus: the conversation framework for exploring where your partner's sexual beliefs actually come from, and why the first few months of dating are just data collection on whether you're actually compatible.

In this replay from Season 1 Episode 9 of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches tackle the real side of traditional marriage, trauma, and mental health with raw, unfiltered honesty. They respond to criticism about their appearance, talk openly about troubled pasts, depression, suicidal thoughts, and why they choose to show up for “the broken” instead of trying to impress people who already have perfect-looking lives. You'll hear powerful conversations about validation, why feelings are information and not weakness, why suffering in silence destroys people, and how a single moment of listening and empathy can literally save a life. This episode is for anyone searching for real talk on healing, self-worth, faith, and taking ownership of your life instead of staying stuck in victim mentality.They also dive deep into sex and intimacy in marriage, including high vs low libido, sexless marriages, weaponized intimacy, nagging, and what it really means to be a stay-at-home wife in a traditional, faith-centered relationship. You'll hear coaching around lazy partners who won't work, setting timelines for change, financial stress, postpartum depression and creative burnout, grief after losing a parent, and how to let your husband lead in finances without losing your strength as a woman. Expect straight-forward marriage advice, practical communication tools, real examples from listener emails, and tough-love guidance on boundaries, leadership, submission, respect, and rebuilding attraction in your relationship.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Millions of families around the world are struggling with trying to conceive. Conception can require a lot of trying, which can take the fun out of the process for couples and even add to a decreased libido for both partners.

If you have ADHD and your sex life feels challenging, you're not broken - your brain just works differently. Maybe you have super high libido and use sex or masturbation to feel at home in your body. Or maybe your libido is low because sex hasn't been working for your body or you're stuck in your head and you don't know why or how to fix it. Or maybe you're both, depending on the day.In this episode, we unpack why ADHD creates these extremes - from sex as self-medication to getting stuck in your head during sex to not knowing what your body actually needs. We also cover Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (why "not tonight" feels catastrophic) and emotional dysregulation (the intensity that confuses your partner).Whether you're the ADHD partner or the non-ADHD partner trying to understand, this episode will help you make sense of what's been happening. No shame, just clarity. First in a 4-part series on ADHD and desire gaps.Get my free guide: 5 Steps to Start Solving Desire Differences (Without Blame or Shame), A Practical Starting Point for Individuals and Couples, at https://laurajurgens.com/libido Find out more about me at https://laurajurgens.com/

Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Are you a successful woman who's conquered the boardroom but lost the spark in your bedroom? You're crushing professional goals while your intimate life crumbles. The modern successful woman faces an impossible paradox: society demands she operate in masculine energy all day (achieving, doing, conquering), then magically shift to feminine energy at home (receiving, flowing, being). But nobody taught us how to make this transition. This disconnect isn't a personal failure—it's a systemic issue affecting high-achieving women everywhere. The result? Depleted libido, sexless marriages, chronic burnout, and a nagging feeling that despite external success, something vital is missing. In this episode, intuitive coach, social worker, and author Avalaura Gaither reveals why the same drive that makes you successful at work is sabotaging your sexual empowerment and intimate relationships.THIS EPISODE IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU:Feel exhausted by the demands of being "everything to everyone"Struggle to shift from work mode to intimate connectionHave achieved external success but feel empty insideExperience low libido despite wanting passionate intimacyCarry sexual trauma that impacts current relationshipsWant to access your intuition but don't know howAre ready to break the cycle of martyrdom and burnoutLINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND HERELAST 10x LONGER.
