Libido and hormone balance questions were at the top of the list for our community members.
Today you want to plan a long hike. Take us with you. Then share it with a friend and listen together after they listen. If you’re listening for yourself, you’re still going to want to hit replay.
What I love as much as anything about this episode is Dr John Gray became popular in the 80’s and 90’s. Today, in 2022, he got lit up during this episode. He is still as passionate and purposeful about what he is doing as ever. My wish for myself and for you is that we all have that kind of purpose-driven passion in our lives for as long as possible.

Libido and Hormone balance questions we answer in this episode:
04:48 Both my husband and I took early retirement … (we’re together a lot, he occupies a lot of my time and I have less freedom than I thought retirement was going to give) and our sex life isn’t great, what do we do?
13:20 Does it help men produce testosterone when a woman asks him for help?
I’m married, my husband works outside the home running his own business…and I’m running my own business from home… we’re both busy making a ton of decisions all day… It's not easy to shift gears and connect at night. You had me at libido, any suggestions. Most women want to chat but even with girl friends I tend to be kind of “done talking” after a day.
26:20 I’m single, and distance relationship, I run a business and the last time we were together there weren’t any sparks…. Like any physical chemistry… it’s never been like that before. What’s that about?
37:51 What are your views of hormone replacement?

Beyond Mars and Venus John explains why being a man or woman in today’s society is more nuanced and complex than ever. Yet, despite the changes, men and women remain fundamentally different on a hormonal level – and what these differences mean in today's ever-evolving relationships.
