Episode 333: Unpacking the Root Causes of Low Libido with Dr. Diane Mueller

Host Erin Kerry sits down with Dr. Diane Mueller, naturopathic doctor and sexual wellness expert, to unpack the root causes of low libido from a functional and holistic perspective. From hormone imbalances and chronic stress to thyroid issues, medications, and relationship dynamics, this episode explores why libido is more than just a “drive”—it’s a reflection of your overall health. You’ll also learn the difference between desire and arousal, the powerful role oxytocin plays in mental health and connection, and how sexual intimacy can support your nervous system and emotional well-being. If you’ve been told “it’s normal” or “it’s just hormones,” this conversation will give you a deeper understanding of what your body is really communicating—and what you can do about it. Key Topics: - Libido as a vital sign of overall health - Desire vs. arousal (and why they’re often confused) - Oxytocin’s role in mood, bonding, and nervous system regulation - Hormonal drivers of low libido (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) - The impact of stress and cortisol on sexual health - Thyroid, chronic infections, and blood flow considerations - Medications that can suppress libido - Emotional and relational contributors to low desire Links Mentioned: Website: mylibidodoc.com Free Quiz: libidocode.com Book: wanttowantit.com Join Erin’s monthly mailing list to get health tips and fresh meal plans and recipes every month: https://mailchi.mp/adde1b3a4af3/monthlysparksignup Order Erin’s new book, Live Beyond Your Label, at erinbkerry.com/upcomingbook/
