5 Secrets to Increase Your Sex Drive
Increase Your Sex Drive Struggling with Low Libido? You’re Not Alone
How to Increase Your Sex Drive? Let’s be honest—talking about low sex drive can feel awkward. Many women experience this at some stage, especially during perimenopause and menopause, but it can happen at any time.
I often receive sneaky texts, casual emails, or side comments during consultations from women looking for solutions. A common question is:
💬 “I’ve met someone new, and I need something to boost my sex drive—help!”
If this sounds familiar, don’t worry—you’re in the right place! Below are five key secrets to increasing your libido naturally.
1. Boost Your Energy Levels
Without energy, everything feels like an effort—including intimacy. And no, we’re not talking about a temporary caffeine buzz or sugar rush. Your body needs real, sustained energy at the cellular level for optimal function, including a healthy sex drive.
Here are three simple ways to recharge your energy:
- Hydration – Drink at least 2 liters of water daily
- Nutrient-Dense Foods – Eat plenty of veggies, fruits, quality proteins, and healthy fats
- Quality Sleep – Aim for 7-9 hours of rest (ideally in bed before 10 PM)
If fatigue is dragging you down, let’s fix it. Click here to book a consultation, and we’ll create a plan to double your energy naturally—often within two weeks!
The best part? More energy doesn’t just help your libido; it improves your entire well-being.
2. Manage Stress for a Healthier Libido
Did you know that women need to relax before intimacy, while men often use sex as a stress reliever? It’s true! If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsafe, it’s no surprise that your sex drive is suffering.
Here’s how to calm your nervous system:
- Identify stress triggers and work on reducing them
- Avoid excess caffeine, smoking, and alcohol, as they heighten anxiety
- Support gut health (which impacts mood and hormones)
Chronic stress can often be linked to digestive issues. Click here to learn more about how gut health and anxiety are connected.
3. Address Vaginal Dryness
Pain during sex? Not fun. Vaginal dryness can make intimacy uncomfortable, leading to a lack of desire. While lubricants can help, some women experience sensitivities or reactions.
Common causes include:
- ❌ Medications (e.g., antidepressants, antihistamines, asthma meds)
- ❌ Dehydration & Alcohol (both dry out tissues)
- ❌ Allergies to soaps, pads, or bath products
- ❌ Smoking (reduces blood flow and lubrication)
Solutions to Try
- Lubricants – Trial different options to find one that works for you
- Vaginal Moisturizers – Options like Replens, YES VM, vitamin E, coconut oil, or olive oil (apply every 3 days)
- Low Oestrogen Therapy – If menopause is the issue, Vagifem (a low-dose oestrogen cream) can help
Don’t suffer in silence—there are solutions available!
4. Rekindle Desire with Chemistry & Connection
A healthy sex drive isn’t just physical—emotional connection and chemistry matter. If relationship struggles, resentment, or past experiences are affecting intimacy, addressing these issues can make a huge difference.
Consider open communication, therapy, or relationship coaching to strengthen your connection. When emotional blocks are lifted, desire often returns naturally.
5. Practice, Practice, Practice!
Here’s a little secret: the more you engage in intimacy, the more you desire it! Regular activity helps stimulate hormones, increase blood flow, and reignite passion.
So, if you’re looking for a natural way to boost libido—keep the spark alive by making intimacy a priority. 😉
