“I could go the rest of my life without it.” That’s how countless women feel about sex after going through menopause. Today’s guest, Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith, was no different. Despite the fact that this is a common feeling, it’s not one that most women feel at peace with, and it lends itself to some pretty frustrated partners. The fact is, if sex was important to you before menopause, there is no reason why you can’t continue to enjoy it after menopause. That’s the topic of today’s episode.

My guest, Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith is a Board-Certified Gynecologist specializing in women’s midlife wellness, hormone optimization, and sexual wellness. She is the founder of Complete Midlife Wellness Center in Houston, TX, and the best-selling author of “Sexually Woke- Awaken the Secrets to Your Best Sex Life in Midlife and Beyond,” which she wrote after waking up to the realization she didn’t want to live the rest of her life without a vibrant sex life. She conducted a study on thousands of women to discover what the secrets were among those who maintained a hot sex life even later in life.
