Send us a Text Message.Hi friends! Today I am diving into one of the topics that has been a long time coming... Libido! There is somewhat of an epidemic (my words) of low libido in women and this should be more concerning than it is. Low libido is not "normal" and it actually is comes out of running low in other areas of your life.The environment around us, birth control (impacting thyroid function + gut issues), and emotional factors are all culprits that can cause low libido and I break it all down in this episode. If you are a woman or a mom that is in a season of high stress, overwhelm, lack of capacity and/or exhaustion - there is no way your libido is going to be high! It's time to take a step back and find ways to fill your cup.  Listen in to know why that's actually important. In this episode:[04:02] What is libido?[07:20] Environmental factors for low libido[11:21] Emotional factors for low libido[15: 55] Polarity and leaning into your femininity[19:52] My favorite way to increase libido quickly [21:55] A challenge to look inwardOther Episodes You Might LikeEpisode 14: What I wish I Knew Before & After Birth ControlEpisode 16: Birth Control Recovery - How to Nourish & Rebalance your Hormones after Birth Control (Part 2)Episode 66: How I Support My Hormones in Follicular WeekLET ME HELP YOU FIX THOSE HORMONES:FREE RESOURCESLove Your Liver GuideHormone Imbalance QUIZCOURSE + COACHING (When you’re ready to fix your hormones without the drama of figuring it out on your own)Nourish Your Hormones Course1:1 Hormone Coaching - 4 June/July spots left!PRIVATE PODCAST MINI-COURSELeave a 5 star rating on the podcast and DM me the word RATING on IG @leishadrews for $20 off the Restored mini-course on blood sugar balance.
