Libido, Intimacy and Hypothalamic Amenorrhea with The Libido Fairy


Listen Later

In this conversation, Cynthia and Hannah - The libido fairy discuss the topics of Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA), libido, and intimacy. They explore the connection between HA and the absence of menstrual periods, as well as the role of the hypothalamus in regulating the menstrual cycle. They emphasize the importance of nourishing the body with enough food and rest to support the recovery of HA.



Key Takeaways

  • Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) is a condition characterized by the absence of menstrual periods in women of reproductive age, and it can be caused by excessive exercise and inadequate nutrition.
  • Recovering from HA requires nourishing the body with enough food and rest to support all essential functions, including reproductive function.
  • Supporting the nervous system is crucial for both HA recovery and libido. Activities such as breathing exercises, meditation, and pleasurable experiences can help regulate the nervous system.
  • Intimacy and libido are not solely dependent on penetrative sex. Non-sexual touch, communication, and emotional vulnerability are important aspects of intimacy.
  • It is important to debunk myths about HA, such as the belief that the pill can treat it or that it only affects certain body types. HA can occur at any body size or type.
  • Listening to and honoring the body's needs and desires is essential for overall well-being and living a fulfilling life.
