FOR WOMEN WHO WANT MORE THAN ANOTHER GENERIC ANSWER ABOUT THEIR LOW LIBIDO
Want to understand why your body stopped prioritizing desire — even though you’ve already tried supplements, therapy, hormones or “spicing things up”?
Watch this 90 second video below to see how I work differently and get results:
Low libido is rarely just a hormone problem, a relationship problem or a matter of needing to "try harder."
Your body’s response to intimacy is influenced by your nervous system, hormones and what's happening across the rest of your health. That’s what we’ll begin investigating together.
Her bloodwork was “normal,” but she was exhausted, anxious, struggling with digestion and had completely lost her sex drive:
I had fatigue, poor sleep, digestive issues, anxiety and absolutely no sex drive, but every appointment ended with someone telling me my bloodwork was normal. I tried maca, ashwagandha, libido supplements and forcing myself to prioritize date nights, but none of it changed how my body responded.
Lydia was the first person who looked at the symptoms as connected instead of treating my libido like an isolated problem. She helped me understand how much my body had been compensating for and why adding another supplement wasn’t enough.
As we worked through the wider physical picture, my energy and mood changed first. Then I started noticing physical arousal again and thinking about sex without having to force myself do it. I finally felt like my body was coming back to how it used to be.
She still loved her partner but had spent two years avoiding his touch and wondering whether she had fallen out of love:
My partner and I had always had a good relationship, which made the change in my libido even harder to understand. I still loved him and found him attractive, but when he reached for me at night, my body would tense up before I had even consciously decided whether I wanted sex.
I had started going to bed later, changing in the bathroom and avoiding anything that might give him the wrong idea. I felt horrible because he wasn’t pressuring me, but even affectionate touch had started to feel like another demand.
Working with Lydia helped me understand that this wasn’t simply about attraction or needing to try harder. As we addressed what had been keeping my nervous system and body under constant strain, I stopped feeling so guarded around intimacy. I could enjoy being touched again without immediately bracing for what might come next, and eventually I began initiating because I genuinely wanted to.
She was still having sex regularly but mostly to avoid disappointing her partner while feeling completely disconnected from intimacy and herself:
I wasn’t technically avoiding sex altogether, which made it harder to explain to my partner how bad things had become. I would agree to it because I loved them and didn’t want them to feel rejected, but I rarely felt any genuine desire beforehand and usually spent the entire time waiting for it to be over.
Afterward, I would feel guilty and disconnected because I knew I had taken part in sex without actually wanting to be there. I thought the solution was to keep trying until my libido magically returned, but pushing through was making my body resist any form of intimacy even more.
Working with Lydia changed how I understood what was happening. As my body became more responsive through our work together, I stopped needing to mentally convince myself to participate. I could feel arousal, stay present and enjoy sex instead of performing it out of obligation.
Testosterone was supposed to be the missing piece but months later, she still felt no desire, arousal or change in her body:
I was told testosterone was be the missing piece, so I expected to feel noticeably different once I started it. Months later, I still had no spontaneous feelings of desire, no physical response to stimulation and no interest in initiating sex.
I felt completely defeated because hormones were supposed to be the obvious answer. Lydia helped me see that testosterone couldn’t compensate for everything else happening with my stress response, sleep issues and nutritional deficiencies.
Once we started addressing those pieces together, I noticed changes that hormone support alone hadn’t provided me with. I felt more present in my body, arousal became easier and intimacy stopped feeling like something I had to force out of obligation.
