Is low libido normal after menopause?

While hormones drop, a complete loss of desire or painful dryness is not 'normal'. It indicates a severe lack of estrogen support, which can be managed naturally with phytoestrogens like flaxseeds.

What causes vaginal dryness?

Dehydration, low estrogen, and antihistamine medications are common causes. Hydrating from within (water-rich fruits) and using natural oils (coconut) helps.

Does the pill affect libido?

Yes. Oral contraceptives suppress natural ovulation and testosterone production in women, often killing sex drive. We recommend non-hormonal family planning methods.

Can stress stop my drive?

Absolutely. Women's desire is heavily linked to emotional safety and relaxation. High stress (cortisol) puts the body in 'survival mode', shutting down reproduction.

Shatavari (herb), dark chocolate (magnesium), and healthy fats (avocado, nuts) are excellent for female vitality.

It's Not "Just In Your Head"

Women are often told that low desire is psychological. "Just have a glass of wine and relax."

At Dr. BRC Naturopathy Clinic, we validate your experience. Low libido, dryness, and pain are physical signs of Hormonal Depletion and Adrenal Fatigue.

A woman's cycle is a delicate dance of Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone. When this dance is disrupted by sugar, stress, and synthetic hormones, the music stops.

The Triangle of Depletion

The Adrenal Steal: Your adrenal glands make stress hormones (Cortisol) and sex hormones. If you are constantly stressed, the factory only makes Cortisol. There is no raw material left for sex hormones.
The Sugar Crash: Insulin spikes disrupt ovulation. No ovulation means no Progesterone, the "calming" hormone that supports libido.
Nutrient Void: Iron deficiency (Anemia) is rampant in Indian women. If you are exhausted, your body will not prioritize sex.

The Goddess Protocol

1Step 1: Replenish the Blood (Iron)

Green Juice: Spinach + Mint + Coriander + Lemon.
Dates & Figs: Nature's iron tablets. Eat 2-3 daily.
Result: Energy returns. The "tiredness" that kills intimacy vanishes.

2Step 2: Lubrication from Within (Fats)

Hormones are made of fat.
Eat: Coconut, soaked almonds, walnuts, and seeds (Flax/Sesame).
Avoid: "Low fat" diets. They destroy hormonal health.

3Step 3: Shatavari Support

Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is the queen of female herbs. It balances estrogen, improves moisture, and boosts drive.
Usage: 1 tsp powder with water (or plant milk) at night.

Thriving Through Menopause

Menopause is not the end of your sex life. In Japan, women rarely suffer hot flashes. Why? Their diet is rich in phytoestrogens.

By adding Flaxseeds and Legumes to your diet, you provide a gentle, natural estrogen that keeps the tissues young and supple without the cancer risks of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).
