In this episode, we’re doing a deep dive into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: the connection between your thyroid and your sex life. Specifically, we’re talking about how hypothyroidism and other thyroid imbalances can affect sexual health in both women and men. From low libido to erectile dysfunction, these issues are more common than you think — and they’re often tied to hormonal disruptions, fatigue, and other thyroid-related symptoms.

We’ll also explore the role of estrogen dominance, especially during perimenopause and menopause, and the safety of using hormone replacement therapy alongside thyroid medication. Plus, we’re sharing expert insights and practical strategies from Paloma Health, including natural ways to support sexual health — from supplements like maca, to dietary changes, to tips for better communication with your partner. Whether you're navigating mid-life hormonal changes, or you're just looking for answers, this episode is packed with information you won't want to miss.
