52: Let’s talk about sex, baby: Libido and PCOS

You’re go-go-go all day with work, exercise, trying to make sure you’re eating well, getting children to and from school, asking your partner to grab groceries on the way home from work. But by the time the day is over you’re absolutely knackered and sex is about the last thing you can be bothered with. Sound familiar?

Libido is something that’s often overlooked when it comes to our overall health because it’s not a life or death matter – but we deserve to have enjoyable sex rather than seeing it as a chore.

I don’t think it’s talked about enough when it comes to women’s health so in today’s podcast episode, I took a deep dive into libido – what’s considered ‘normal’, what can reduce your libido, whether there are any connections to PCOS and of course how to boost it!

This episode is for you if:

  • Suffer from low libido / sex drive
  • Are stressed often

Some things we cover in this episode:
