Have you been feeling a bit disconnected from your desire and sex drive? You're not alone. Desire, like hormones, fluctuates, and in the case of female hormones, these fluctuations can be particularly intense.
That's why it's so important to understand the link between hormonal balance (or imbalance) and our libidoby discovering how hormones can have a profound impact on sexual desire. This way, without taboos, we can finally understand the source of the problem and take action!
A question of chemistry
Sex, we know, starts in the head. But beyond the mental and relational factor, the truth is that sex and desire are also a matter of chemistry. And not just between two people. It's also within us!
Circulating throughout our body, hormones act as "messengers" in our organism, influencing various functions, including sexual desire. When hormone levels are unregulated or out of balance, this can have a profound impact on our libido. In particular estrogen, a female sex hormone that plays a crucial role in women's libido and sexual satisfaction.
Estrogen dominance occurs when there is an excess of this hormone over other hormones, such as progesterone. This imbalance can cause a series of symptoms, such as irregular menstrual cycles, mood fluctuations, weight gain, hormonal acne and, of course, loss of libido!
But not only excess estrogen causes problems. In the perimenopause and menopause, for example, the abrupt drop in levels of this hormone can cause changes in body temperature (known as "hot flushes"), accentuate bone problems, cause vaginal dryness and, you get the picture, numb desire and make sexual satisfaction more difficult.
A rollercoaster ride
It's not a bright outlook, but fortunately, at any age, there are many things we can do to counteract this rollercoaster effect of our hormones and ignite our sexiest side by awakening a healthy desire and paving the way for a super satisfying sex life.
To restore hormonal balance, we can begin by making changes to our lifestyle, starting with regulating stresswhich can trigger a hormonal imbalance, triggering the production of estrogen. Practicing meditation and mindfulness, but also exercising regularly, sleeping well and eating a balanced diet can help restore hormonal balance.
And of course, as we never tire of saying around here, we can act from the inside out, nourishing our bodies with superfoods and supplements that support balance and help awaken libido, for a fuller and more pleasurable sex life.
