Did you know that 70% of people want to ask their doctors about sex… but don’t?

Join me, Dr. Laurie Bruce, your clinical psychologist and mindfulness coach, along with Dr. Diane Mueller, a board-certified sexologist, for an open and insightful conversation about sex after 40 and the truth behind what’s often labeled as “low libido.” Is it really a problem or simply a natural change? 

 

In this episode, we’ll unpack the feeling of shame many adults carry around their desires, why safe and honest conversations about sex are so important, and how the medical definition of low libido can be both limiting and misleading. Dr. Diane also shares insights on the link between relationship happiness and sex frequency, the difference between men's and women's desire and arousal, and the deeper root causes behind the lack of interest in sex.
