I was shocked to learn that in some studies, up to 27% of people on birth control report a decrease in their libido or sex drive.
And yet, how many people are ACTUALLY talking about this?
That’s why today I’m sitting down with Dr Rachel Rubin.
Rachel is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist and one of ONLY 80 doctors in the US trained to treat both male and female sexual health.
Before we started recording, Rachel said “I’m filled with rage”…
She explained that people are being denied basic information about their bodies, hormones, sexual health and the treatments that could improve their quality of life…
I said to Rachel in this conversation that it’s staggering that so many women are still being let down by the medical system. It makes you think - if men were in this exact situation, would this be the case?
We discussed things like:
- Why so many women are told their symptoms are normal when they are actually treatable. - Why Testosterone is not just a male hormone. - How hormones can affect UTIs, libido, pain during sex and overall quality of life. - If doctors are properly trained in women’s sexual health. - Why men need to understand the main topic of this episode too.
What became clear to me is that this isn’t just a conversation about sex. It’s about health, relationships, confidence, ageing, pain, shame and the way people feel in their own bodies.
At the end of the conversation I told Rachel that there are very few people who have her credibility and experience, with her ability to explain these subjects in a way people can actually understand.
For anyone who wants to better understand their own body, or better understand someone they love - I really recommend watching this conversation.
