Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Hormonal Imbalances: The Invisible Culprit


Listen Later

In this episode, we're continuing our conversation with Ken and Marla, who have been kind enough to share their intimacy journey with us. If you've been following their story, you know that we've been exploring some of the challenges they've been facing in their relationship, particularly around intimacy and sexual health.

For those who might have missed our previous episodes, I highly recommend going back and checking them out to get the full context of Ken and Marla's journey. It's been an enlightening experience, not just for them but for all of us listening in.

Now, picking up from where we left off last time, Marla was opening up about her struggles with a lack of sexual response, which she suspects might be linked to hormonal imbalances. And Ken has been dealing with low energy and sleep problems, which can certainly take a toll on intimacy.

I want to stress the significance of hormones in sexual health. They play such a crucial role, and it's important that we don't overlook them. It's not uncommon for sleep issues and low energy to be connected to hormonal imbalances, and identifying any issues there is vital for overall well-being and, by extension, Ken’s relationship with Marla.

So, let's dive in and see how things have been going since our last conversation. 


In this episode, we’re diving into:

  • Marla's concerns about her lack of sexual response and arousal
  • Ken’s struggles with low energy levels and poor sleep quality
  • The role of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in sexual response and overall well-being
  • Marla's previous experience with hormone replacement therapy and concerns about family history of breast cancer.
  • Recommendations for personalized hormone therapy and regular monitoring
  • The potential risks and side effects of hormone therapy

  • Remember to check out my free course on Quantum Sex. It's going to teach you how to take your sexual response to the next level. Just go to my website’s homepage. Until next time!
