Sexual health is an important part of overall well-being. When sexual desire decreases, it can affect confidence, relationships, and quality of life. Low libido, or hypoactive sexual desire, is common for both men and women—but it doesn’t have to be permanent. At Optimize Integrative Health, we identify the root causes and provide personalized solutions to restore balance and intimacy.
Low libido is defined as a persistent lack of interest in sexual activity that causes personal distress or impacts relationships. While it’s normal to experience fluctuations in desire throughout life, ongoing low libido often points to underlying issues with hormones, health conditions, stress, or emotional well-being.
By addressing these root causes, we help patients rebuild sexual health, confidence, and satisfaction.
Low libido can arise from a variety of physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors, such as:
Changes in testosterone, estrogen, or thyroid hormones
Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or thyroid disorders
Antidepressants, blood pressure drugs, and others
Chronic exhaustion reduces sexual interest
Alcohol, drugs, and smoking can suppress desire
Mental strain interferes with intimacy
Low mood often reduces sexual interest
Communication breakdowns or unresolved conflict
Emotional scars may affect sexual health
Each individual’s libido is influenced by a unique combination of these factors, which is why our care is tailored to the whole person.
When libido decreases, it can show up in many ways, including:
These experiences can be isolating, but effective treatments exist to restore balance and intimacy.
A persistent lack of interest in sex
Fewer sexual thoughts or fantasies
Reduced desire to initiate intimacy
Frustration, guilt, or distress about the change
Relationship strain due to mismatched desire
Certain conditions also come with distinct symptoms:
Morning stiffness and painful, swollen joints
Fatigue and the signature butterfly-shaped rash across the face
Numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness
Excessive thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss
Chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain
Red, scaly, itchy skin patches
Living with these challenges can feel overwhelming, but effective treatment can significantly improve quality of life.
