“I’m Not in the Mood.”: The Sexual Brain-Gut Connection with Dr. Betsy Greenleaf

“I’m Not in the Mood.”: The Sexual Brain-Gut Connection with Dr. Betsy Greenleaf

Author: Dr. Diane Mueller November 30, 2023 Duration: 18:47
Unless you’re an outlier, chances are you have experienced one of those moments where you are simply not in the mood for sex. In today’s episode, we are hosting Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, the first female in the USA to become board-certified in Urogynecology, the founder of Femversity.com, and the CEO of The Pelvic Floor Store – all with over 20 years of expertise in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. She’ll answer your questions on the connection between brain-gut-vagina, how the link affects your mood, fertility, and “down there” comfort, and what common pitfalls to avoid when dealing with a sexual health condition.

In the quiet space between public image and private reality, many long-term relationships face a subtle, often unspoken shift. Libido Lounge is a conversation about that specific gap, hosted by Board Certified Sexologist Dr. Diane Mueller. This isn't about crisis or scandal, but the gradual fading of a vital connection that leaves couples wondering how they got here. Dr. Mueller moves beyond superficial advice to explore the complex interplay of biology, culture, daily stress, and personal history that shapes our intimate lives. You'll hear frank discussions that normalize common struggles, dissect societal myths, and provide actionable insights grounded in both science and clinical experience. The podcast considers the whole person-how fitness and health intersect with emotional bonds, and how societal pressures quietly influence our most private moments. Each episode is designed to offer clarity and practical pathways forward, whether the topic is rekindling desire, navigating mismatched drives, or simply understanding the mechanics of human sexuality within a committed partnership. For anyone feeling that something essential has quietly disappeared behind a still-fine facade, Libido Lounge provides a thoughtful, expert-guided space for exploration and understanding.
