If your sex drive has disappeared and you feel like you’re the only one wondering “what’s wrong with me?” — this episode is for you.

This week on You Good, Hormones? we’re getting real about libido — how it changes through your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, and why it’s not your fault if it’s gone missing. 

We also unpack:

  • Why libido shifts happen (it’s not just “getting older”)
  • What breastfeeding, birth control, and stress do to sex drive
  • Why women are constantly dismissed when they bring this up
  • The massive funding gap between male and female sexual health
  • What treatment options actually work (and how to get them)
  • Real ways to talk to your partner when this gets hard
  • Common side effects, delivery options, and where to start safely

This is your no-shame, no-fluff, all-facts conversation about sex, hormones, and what’s possible when you stop settling.
