Transcript:

Today’s episode is one you might want to share with your partner or listen to together. We’re diving into a topic that will transform your sex life: the surprising connection between gut health and libido. 

If you’re curious about how your gut might be affecting your desire and pleasure, or if you’re looking for ways to reignite that spark, you’re in the right place. So grab your partner, or hit that share button, because this information is about to change everything you thought you knew about your libido.

We often hear about how gut health impacts digestion, immunity, and even mood, but did you know it plays a crucial role in your sexual health as well? Today, we’re unraveling how the health of your gut can directly influence your libido, from hormonal balance to neurotransmitter production. We are going to explore how inflammation, gut microbiome imbalances, and stress can all affect your sexual desire. Plus, I’ll share actionable tips on how to support your gut health to enhance your libido. So let’s get into the nitty-gritty of how what’s happening in your gut might be influencing what’s happening in your bedroom.

Let’s start by talking about how your gut microbiome plays a significant role in your overall health. Your microbiome is involved in many processes, including the production of neurotransmitters and hormones that influence everything from your sleep to your libido.

One major neurotransmitter affected by gut health is serotonin. About 90% of your body’s serotonin is produced in your gut. Serotonin is crucial for regulating mood and sexual desire. If your gut microbiome is out of balance, it can lead to lower serotonin levels, which contributes to decreased libido.

Inflammation is another key factor. Gut imbalances cause chronic inflammation which can impact your hormonal balance. This can affect your reproductive hormones, including estrogen and testosterone, both of which are very important for maintaining a healthy libido. Inflammation can also lead to fatigue and stress, further affecting your sexual desire.

Stress itself is a significant player in this equation. When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol, a hormone that can disrupt your gut microbiome and lead to imbalances. High cortisol levels can negatively affect your libido by altering hormone levels and reducing your energy and desire.

So, how can you support your gut health to enhance your libido? Here are some actionable tips:

1. Eat a Balanced Diet: Focus on a variety of nutrient-dense foods. Avoid GMO’s and eat abundant amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables. Try to avoid processed foods as these actually feed the bad bacteria in your gut and disrupt the fragile good bacteria. 
2. Consider Supplements: I will go into the gut rebalance kits in more detail in just a minute.
3. Reduce Stress: Incorporate stress-reducing practices into your daily routine. Meditation and yoga can help lower cortisol levels and support your gut health. Consider doing these practices with your partner. Ty and I love meditating naked together on our deck under the stars in the summer and doing naked yoga together by the fire in the winter. Let these practices be fun and bring you together. 
4. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps maintain a healthy gut environment and supports your overall bodily functions, including hormone production.
5. Avoid Harmful Substances: Reducing or eliminating processed foods, sugars, and alcohol can help keep your gut microbiome balanced and support a healthy libido.

Improving your gut health is a journey, and it’s about making consistent, supportive choices. If you’re ready to dive deeper into gut health consider rebalancing your gut with your partner. Rebalancing together is so beautiful and will completely transform your sex life. The Women’s Gut Rebalance Kit is just as effective and beautiful for men. Balance CBD is also a wonderful addition to your rebalance as it helps support hormone balance.

Two other tips that may enhance your sex life: ditch the toxic lubricants. Even if they are from the health food store it is very likely they contain ingredients that are very disruptive to your vaginal microbiome. Balance CBD is honestly the most luxurious lubricant in the world. And lastly, consider creating a private chat with your partner. Ty and I have a private Telegram chat where we can send messages to each other. This has been so much fun! After 17 years of marriage and four children - it is a special space where we get to feel like we are dating again. Its like I get to have a boyfriend!
