If you've noticed your sex drive has tanked, whether from GLP-1s, perimenopause or menopause, postpartum changes, or simply the mental load of being a woman in 2026… you're not imagining it. And you're definitely not “broken”.In this episode, I talk with Dr. Kristen Wolfe, OB-GYN and women's sexual health specialist at Evermore Women's Health. She breaks down why 85% of women experience desire differently than we're told and what’s actually behind the drop in libido so many women experience.We talk about how hormones, stress, medications, busy lives, and relationship dynamics all play a role, and why so many women blame themselves for changes that are completely normal. Dr. Wolfe also shares practical strategies that can help, from understanding responsive desire and reducing the “brakes” on libido, to scheduling intimacy, practicing mindfulness, and using tools like arousal creams or medical treatments when appropriate.ReferencesConnect with Dr. Kristen Wolfehttps://www.evermorewomenshealth.com/https://www.kristenwolfemd.com/Books:Come As You Are — Emily NagoskiYou Are Not Broken — Kelly CaspersonA Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex — Laurie MintzBetter Sex Through Mindfulness — Lori BrottoBecoming Cliterate — Laurie MintzOnline resources:Dipsea, an app offering erotic audio stories designed for womenOMGYes, an educational platform where women share techniques and insights about pleasure and orgasmThe International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH)Products:Vella BioscienceÜberlubeDocumentary:The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs and Who Has ControlAll of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.
