Episode 14 Addressing low libido and HSDD - When to see your GP and what to expect, with Dr Lisa
"Navigating Low Libido & HSDD: When to Seek Help and What to Expect" Game Time: RED/AMBER/GREEN In this episode, we start by playing the RED/AMBER/GREEN game with dressing up in the bedroom! I want you to think about how you feel when it comes to role play or costumes during intimacy: * Red: "Nope, not for me." * Amber: "I might be open to exploring this, but I'd like to learn more." * Green: "Yes, I love this and regularly incorporate it into my sex life!" Dressing up and adding a bit of novelty can be a great way to stave off sexual boredom and introduce new excitement into a relationship. Novelty helps keep things fresh and stimulating, but it's important to note that it's not a cure for deeper sexual desire issues like Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). So, while spicing things up with some role-play can be fun, stay tuned to learn more about HSDD and how it's treated. What We're Covering in Today's Episode: 1. What is HSDD? 2. We'll break down the difference between low libido and HSDD, focusing on how HSDD is defined by the distress it causes over a persistent period of time. 3. How is HSDD Assessed? 4. We'll dive into how GPs use the biopsychosocial model, which considers biological, psychological, and social factors when diagnosing HSDD. 5. When to See Your GP 6. Learn when it's time to make an appointment with your GP, especially if your low libido has been troubling you for more than six months. 7. What to Expect During Your GP Appointment 8. From blood tests to hormone levels, find out how your GP will assess your condition and the role testosterone therapy might play, according to the NICE and British Menopause Society guidelines. 9. Self-Help Tips 10. We'll explore ways you can empower yourself before your GP visit, including keeping a desire journal and tracking your symptoms. 11. Empower Yourself During Your Appointment 12. Learn how to advocate for yourself during your GP appointment, ask the right questions, and make sure your concerns are heard. Key Takeaways from the Episode: * Understanding HSDD: We cover the importance of differentiating between a temporary low libido and Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, which affects between 6% and 19% of women globally. * British Menopause Society Guidelines: For postmenopausal women, testosterone therapy can be an effective treatment for HSDD, but it needs to be carefully monitored. * Practical Steps for Self-Care: While seeing a GP is important, we discuss lifestyle changes like managing stress, improving communication with your partner, and introducing novelty into your relationship to help keep desire alive. * Feeling Empowered: We offer step-by-step advice on how to feel more in control of your health and sexual well-being before and during your GP appointment. If you think you may be struggling with HSDD or would like to explore how coaching could help you reclaim your sexual desire, I'm offering free 20-minute consultations.

Episode 12 - Dealing with life's challenges, becoming empowered, with Dr Liza
<p>This is episode 12 and it’s just me this week (well me and my newborn that I’m baby wearing). I’m discussing how to overcome life’s challenges and becoming empowered and sharing some personal experience. It seems timely given I have a newborn and this time is always challenging even if everything goes well. It has certainly been challenging for me given I have been in hospital with the little one every week since he was born!</p><p>Faith is very important for me and I pray daily so this is something I draw on to help me through difficult times. A scripture came through about humility and this has made me contemplate that part of humility is accepting our own limitations and asking for help. This is something I am going to practice more of now that I realise this is part of humble living. I hadn’t considered that before. Have you?</p><p>I discuss an exercise called ‘struggles and strengths’ in this episode and hopefully this will help you validate how you feel and accept what you’ve been through but also realise your strength and character. Let me know how you get on as this has been one of the most transformative exercises I have ever done!</p><p>I believe asking for help, sharing vulnerabilities is a great way to enhance intimacy. So ultimately this can contribute to sexual wellness too!</p><p>As always stay in touch with me via email <a href="mailto:info@pressing-desires.com"><strong>info@pressing-desires.com</strong></a><strong> </strong>or DM via the social media channels Instagram, Facebook or Threads <strong>@pressingdesires</strong></p><p>Remember to let me know the results of your Red/Amber/Green light act from this show!
