In this episode of Look Good, Feel Good with Matt and Amy McKinlay, we openly discuss a common but rarely talked-about issue: low libido, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, and changes in intimacy during perimenopause and menopause. If you're feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like sex has lost its sparkâyou're not alone, and it's treatable.
Matt and Amy explain how declining hormones (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone) impact desire, lubrication, sensation, and pleasure. They share inspiring stories of couples reigniting their connection after decades together, plus actionable solutions like hormone optimization, vaginal health treatments, stress reduction, and the importance of open communication.
Sexual health is a vital part of overall wellness. You deserve to feel sensual, confident, and connected at every stage of life.
