Get Your Marriage On! with Dan Purcell 298: Hormones and Libido for Women (and Men) with Shelly Wilkinson
What if low libido, fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, or sexual dysfunction aren't just "part of getting older"?
In this episode, Dan talks with family nurse practitioner Shelly Wilkinson about hormones, libido, insulin resistance, and the role whole-body health can play in sexual wellness. Shelly shares her personal story, what led her into hormone education, and why she believes many men and women are missing an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to energy, desire, and long-term health.
They talk about common signs of hormone imbalance, what questions to ask when seeking help, why libido issues are often more complex than we think, and how physical health and relational health can work together to improve intimacy.
If you're in midlife and noticing changes in energy, mood, desire, or sexual function, this conversation (and the one just previous to this epsiode in this mini series) will help you navigate the next steps.
In this episode, you'll hear:
-
Why low libido may not be only a relationship issue
-
Common symptoms that can point to hormone concerns
-
The connection between hormones, energy, and sexual health
-
Questions to ask before working with a hormone provider
