Sexual health is far more than what goes on between the sheets: factors such as hormones, stress level, and physical and emotional health each play a very important role. In this easy to understand educational video, Dr. Carrie Decker explains the roles that estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA play in sexual health, and the unavoidable challenges that we all face with age. Dr. Decker gives medical insights to why men often have morning erections while women may have midcycle libido surges. The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and the role of the adrenal glands in sexual function are discussed. Dr. Decker concludes with discussion of general tools that support adrenal health and sexual function.
