#164  - Too Tired for Sex?  It’s Not You, It’s Your Nervous System...Here’s How To Fix It With The Sex Docs

 

Think your “normal” labs are telling the full story? Think again. In this episode of The Pretty Well Podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant (and hilariously direct) Dr. Cristina Romero-Bosch and Dr. John Robinson—aka The Sex Docs—for a no-holds-barred look at what’s really going on in women’s bodies in midlife. We break down the symptoms most doctors brush off—think fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, brain fog, and “just getting older” (insert eye roll).

 

Oh, and if you’re on the pill or ever have been? You’ll definitely want to hear how it can mess with your gut microbiome, immune function, and sex drive—sometimes long after you’ve stopped taking it.

 

They also explain why your poop is basically a hormone status report and what your sex life can reveal about your health. If you’re ready to stop settling for feeling “meh” and start getting real answers, this episode is your hormone-fueled wake-up call.
