In this episode, Dr. Stacy sits down with Dr. Diane Mueller—naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and founder of My Libido Doc—to have the conversation that millions of people are Googling in private: why has my sex drive disappeared, and can I actually get it back?
Dr. Diane shares her own deeply personal origin story (yes, it involves pelvic pain and self-pleasure as medicine), breaks down the real physical, emotional, and relationship causes of low libido, and gets into one of the most fascinating topics in modern relationships: how to keep passion alive in long-term monogamy—and what it’s actually like to transition from a non-monogamous lifestyle into a committed relationship.
You’ll learn:
- The most common (and surprising) causes of low sex drive in women and men
- How to create novelty and desire with a long-term partner
- What it’s really like to go from poly to monogamy—and how to make it work
- Why ‘everything looks normal’ on your labs but your libido is still MIA
- Practical tools to start reclaiming your desire today
