***Hormones, Stress & What’s Really Behind That Missing Spark

Tired all the time? Feeling stressed? Zero sex drive? Wondering if it’s just hormones—or if you’ve lost that spark for good? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to just “deal with it.”

We are going there with Dr. Betsy Greenleaf — our go-to sexpert and triple board-certified women’s health expert — to get real about what’s going on when sex drive dips in midlife. She’s breaking down the science, the stress, and the everyday factors that can leave even the most vibrant women feeling off their game.

Let’s be honest—midlife can feel like a perfect storm for your libido. Between the hormone shifts, sleepless nights, and nonstop demands, it’s easy to wonder if this is just your new normal.

In this refreshingly honest conversation, Dr. Greenleaf helps us understand what’s really happening behind the scenes of midlife libido—and what we can actually do to feel good, look good, and yes, want to feel good again.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why hormones are just one piece of the libido puzzle
  • The surprising ways stress steals your sex drive
  • Simple lifestyle shifts that support your hormones and your mood
  • The gut-health connection to better sexual wellness
  • Why communication (and a little novelty) reignite intimacy
  • How self-pleasure is not just okay—it’s actually good for your health

It’s not about “fixing” hormones—it’s about supporting your whole self so you can thrive in midlife and beyond.
