A drop in sex drive gets chalked up to stress, relationships, or aging more often than it gets properly tested. It affects both men and women, and it's frequently hormonal.
Low libido has several common physiological causes: low testosterone (which matters for both men and women), estrogen and progesterone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, certain medications, and chronically elevated cortisol from ongoing stress.
Because sex drive is influenced by so many overlapping factors — hormonal, physical, and emotional — it's easy for the physiological piece to get overlooked entirely, especially when appointments don't leave room for the conversation.
We run a full hormone panel — testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid — for both men and women, since low libido is frequently connected to measurable, treatable hormone levels.
Hormone correction tailored to your labs, for men and women.

Explore Men's Health"Low libido gets treated as a relationship problem or a mood problem long before anyone checks the hormones. Sometimes it is one of those things — but often the labs explain a lot more than a conversation alone ever could."
