E78: Low Libido? 3 Hidden Causes You’re Probably Missing

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 feminine side[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 & Rebaaance your Hormones after Birth Control (Part 2)Episode 66: How I Support My Hormones in Follicular WeekTo get the Restored Mini-Course for free leave a rating & review on the show OR share this podcast in your IG story (tag me @leishadrews) or send it to 3 friends  - DM or email me a screenshot and I'll send the course your way!Email: support@abundant-lifewellness.comUse the code HHPODCAST for $50 off Nourish Your Hormones ...Disclaimer: Information shared on this podcast and any referenced websites are not to be taken as medical advice or to be used as a diagnosis or treatment plan for any medical condition.

E74: STRESS Directly Causes Low Progesterone - Is it Happening to You? (Episode 22 Reboot)

Progesterone is one of the most underappreciated, most incredible hormones for women, but it's so common for us to be making less progesterone than we need to, and stress can be a BIG piece of this puzzle. As a busy woman myself, I don't expect life to be without stress, but there are things we can do to impact how our bodies feel stress, how they respond, and how they make and detox hormones, so we can be as optimal as possible even with a stressful life. I'm diving in to how stress can affect (basically hijack) our progesterone production and why it's so important to know if it's happening to you so that you can make steps toward balanced progesterone and long term hormone balance.

E44: Let’s Talk Periods (How We Talk to Our Daughters About Puberty & Periods) with Kasi Willingham

Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast. In this episode, I’m having Kasi Willingham back again with me today and we’re talking about how to talk to your preteen daughter about puberty and periods. It's a conversation that can be uncomfortable and awkward, but it's a crucial one to have to prepare our daughters for the changes they will experience as they grow up. I’m always here to break the mold around the way we talk about our periods and keep things open, honest and shame-free so I hope you’ll listen in even if you don’t have daughters because we can change the narrative around periods even for ourselves as adults.
