Where Did My Sex Drive Go? (And Can I Bribe It to Come Back?)
One minute you’re fantasizing during a Target run… the next, you’d rather alphabetize your spice rack than get naked.
If your sex drive has ghosted you somewhere between hot flashes and hormone swings, you are so not alone-and you are definitely not broken.
Welcome to the glorious (and chaotic) ride that is menopause and your ever-changing libido. Buckle up, friend.
Here at True Health Care Utah, we love talking about the things no one else is saying out loud-including what’s going on in your pants… and your brain… and your hormones.
So let’s talk about sex.
(Yes, even now. Especially now.)
The Real Reason You’re Not “In the Mood”
Your body isn’t failing you-t’s doing its job. Around peri-menopause and menopause, your hormones start shifting like teenagers learning to drive: unpredictable, emotional, and a little dangerous if left unsupervised.
Here’s who’s behind the chaos:
Estrogen: She kept things flowing—literally. With her on the decline, so goes lubrication, mood stability, and that "ooh yes" feeling.
Progesterone: She was the chill one. Her exit leaves you more irritable, more anxious, and more “please do not touch me.”
Testosterone: The spicy little hormone responsible for wanting it. And yep, women have it too. Less of it? Cue the “meh” in the bedroom.
So if you’ve been wondering why your once-vibrant libido now feels like a houseplant you forgot to water, it’s not in your head. It’s in your hormones.
But It’s Not Just Your Hormones
Let’s get real:
Sex drive isn’t just about biology-it’s about identity, confidence, exhaustion, relationship dynamics, and brain space.
You’re managing a business, a household, aging parents, teenage eye-rolls, and an internal thermostat that thinks it’s Miami at midnight. Sexy? Not exactly.
Add in sleep deprivation, vaginal dryness, and the mental load of literally everything, and… well, let’s just say “spontaneity” now needs to be scheduled between pelvic floor therapy and your next mammogram.
So How Do We Fix It Without Losing Our Minds?
We start by ditching the shame and getting curious instead of critical.
Then we actually do something about it. Here’s how:
1. Test Your Hormones (Because Guessing Is Exhausting)
We use comprehensive hormone testing to get the real story. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenals, thyroid-we check it all. And then we make a personalized plan. No one-size-fits-none here.
2. Balance Your Body (Without a Million Supplements)
Through lifestyle medicine, functional nutrition, herbal support, and targeted treatments, we help your body feel like yours again-juicy, rested, and resilient.
3. Talk About Sex Without Blushing (Unless You Want To)
You deserve a provider who can say "vaginal dryness" without flinching. At True Health Care Utah, nothing’s off limits. Seriously. Bring your questions, bring your partner, bring your sass-we’re here for it.
4. Redefine Sexy (Hint: It’s Not Just Lacy Underwear)
Sexy isn’t a number on a scale. It’s not how often you have sex. It’s how connected you feel to your own body. And that, we can absolutely get back.
Because Menopause Isn’t the End of Desire-It’s the Start of a New Kind
Midlife is a reawakening. Your body is changing-but it’s also telling you what it needs louder than ever.
More connection.
More rest.
More honesty.
And yes, more pleasure.
We’re not here to patch you up and send you on your way. We’re here to help you rediscover your spark-with zero shame and a whole lot of science.
