Episode : 29 The Real Reason You Don't Want Sex Anymore in Perimenopause (It's Not What You Think)

from Hormones and Heels 👠 · host Trudie German

The Real Reason You Don't Want Sex Anymore in Perimenopause (It's Not What You Think)Your sex drive didn't disappear, it got switched off. Here's how to switch it back on.If your sex drive has vanished in perimenopause and you feel like a stranger in your own body, this one's for you. You're not broken and you're not imagining it. I break down the real reason desire fades: a nervous system stuck in survival mode and a body running on empty from months of broken sleep. When you're not sleeping, your stress stays high and your body simply can't get to the calm, safe state it needs for desire to come back. "Trying harder" was never the answer getting your sleep back is where it starts. If the guilt, the distance from your partner, and the fear that "this is just how it is now" sound familiar, come listen. This part of you isn't gone. It's waiting for room to come back.SCHEDULE MY SLEEP 7 HOURS STRAIGHT A NIGHT PHONE CALL  ⁠⁠⁠📧[email protected] on INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to Hormones & Heels, share this episode with afriend going through perimenopause
