The discussion emphasizes how sexual well-being ties directly to overall health, and how shame and stigma often keep people from seeking solutions.

About the Guest:

Key Takeaways:

Low libido is rarely just about hormones—neurological, circulatory, and stress factors are equally critical.

Women’s arousal takes longer due to biological and neurological differences; foreplay and mindfulness are essential.

Relationship dynamics and body image heavily influence sexual desire—communication and novelty play key roles in revitalizing long-term intimacy.

Optimal testosterone levels matter more than just being “within normal range.”

Hygiene, pelvic floor health, and psychological conditioning from childhood all contribute to libido health.
