What happened to your sex drive—and can you get it back?

This week on Hump Day Hormones, we're talking about something that deserves way more airtime: libido—and why it can feel like it packed its bags and left the building. But here's the good news: you're not broken, you're not alone, and yes—there are solutions.

From that mysterious midlife dip in desire to burning, dryness, and discomfort that no one warned you about, we're unpacking the complex (and totally fixable) world of female sexual health after 40. Our favorite pelvic health experts also join us to help make sense of it all, with real talk, expert advice, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Here's what we're getting into:

-Why estrogen, testosterone, and even your adrenal health are major players in your sex drive

-Why desire isn't always spontaneous—and how "responsive desire" might change the way you view intimacy

-How Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) affects nearly every woman (yes, really) and why it's more than just a "dry spell". (think: bladder, urethra, and your entire quality of life)

-The difference between spontaneous and responsive desire—and why the brain is just as important as the bedroom

-What the newest medical guidelines say about vaginal estrogen, DHEA, and hormone therapy—and why it might be time to revisit your treatment plan

-Our favorite over-the-counter solutions, pelvic PT tips, and what actually works for improving comfort, arousal, and intimacy

If your libido has gone MIA, your body isn't feeling like home, or sex just isn't what it used to be—we're here to tell you it doesn't have to stay that way. We're digging into the science, the symptoms, and the solutions you haven't heard about (but really should have).

This episode is packed with education, insight, and some seriously empowering info every woman needs to hear.
