About this episode
Dr. Nazanin Moali discusses with Dr. Michelle Sands the factors affecting women's sexual desire, particularly during menopause, emphasizing that low libido is not always the issue.
Welcome to Episode 499 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am excited to be joined by Dr. Michelle Sands , who speaks to me about the connection between hormones, stress, the nervous system, and women’s sexual desire. In this episode, Dr. Sands explains why a loss of desire is not always a libido problem. We discuss how changes in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, circulation, sleep, and vaginal health can affect arousal and sexual comfort, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. We also talk about why pain during sex can naturally reduce desire and why women should not assume that they are broken or failing their partners. Dr. Michelle Sands, ND, is a #1 bestselling author, licensed naturopathic physician, speaker, female hormone expert, and epigenetics coach. She is passionate about helping women harness the power of nature to elevate their genetic expression and live vibrant, fulfilling lives by supporting their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
