In This Episode
In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Janet Williams, OB/GYN, about the many ways our bodies change as we mature —and what we can do to keep our sexual health in check.
We cover everything from pain to dryness. I know that as we age, it can feel like our bodies are changing in ways that we don't always understand or appreciate. Thankfully, Dr. Janet is here to help us uncover ways to support our sexual health.
Key Takeaways
- Sexual health is vital to a woman’s overall health, but society hasn’t given us much chance to discuss it.
- Historically, there was not a lot of guidance when it comes to women’s sexual health, even in medical training. This lack of knowledge has led to some serious consequences over the years.
- Stress has a significant impact on our mental health as well as our physical health. It can have a negative impact on your sex drive, making you feel less comfortable in your own skin and leading you to avoid intimacy altogether.
- There are personal trainers, business coaches, and even life coaches. But there is also an intimate life coach—someone who can help you navigate all the parts and pieces that factor into your intimate health and wellness.
- A good intimate life coach has a full understanding of what's going on physically and emotionally. They will work with you to assess your current state and offer solutions for improvement.
- Every woman should have a self-care regimen that helps improve their intimate life. It's about getting in touch with yourself emotionally but also physically. Self-care is a way to take care of your body and mind, and it can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin and more confident in your relationships with others.
- Low libido is one of the most common concerns that women in midlife experience. It's multifactorial, and it comes and goes, but there are some things you can do to help yourself feel more like yourself again.
