Sexual Wellness & Libido Support
A little more comfort. A little more connection. More room for you.
Maybe your desire feels different. Maybe dryness has made intimacy uncomfortable. Maybe, by the end of the day, you have given everything to everyone else.
This is a place to understand what has changed. Begin with nourishment, rest, emotional safety, and physical comfort. Then explore the botanical and hormonal options that have a reason to belong in your care.
The therapeutic order starts with the conditions that help you feel well. The guide brings mindset, food, stress, anatomy, and hormones into one conversation. Choose a foundation you can return to, then follow the clues that are personal to you.
There is no required amount of desire, and no performance to deliver. Notice what feels welcome, what does not, and what you want more of. Talk about boundaries and preferences. Make room for closeness without a goal of penetration or orgasm.
Eat enough, regularly. Bring protein, colorful plants, fiber, and satisfying fats to the table. The guide’s avocado, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, berries, and fish support a nourishing pattern and cardiovascular health. No single food is a guaranteed aphrodisiac.
Protect a steady sleep rhythm, morning daylight, movement, and small moments of quiet. A few slower breaths can become a transition out of the working day. Be honest about the load you carry; a supplement cannot create time or safety for you.
Use a suitable lubricant for intimacy and consider a nonhormonal vaginal moisturizer for ongoing dryness. Avoid irritants. Pain, burning, or recurring urinary symptoms call for assessment; pelvic floor care may help when muscle function is involved. Do not push through pain.
Start with the black bean and avocado salad, avocado and basil soup, baked salmon, or chocolate, banana, and spinach smoothie in your ebook. Adapt each meal to your appetite, allergies, and nutritional needs. The benefit is the pattern of nourishment over time.
A change in desire is not automatically a disorder. Seek support when it troubles you. Your medicines, relationship context, mood, thyroid health, and physical comfort may all matter. Review medication effects with the prescriber; do not stop treatment on your own.
Seventeen selections, organized around comfort, recovery, botanical support, and individualized hormone care. Choose a name to explore the details. These are individual options, not a routine to take together.
Dryness, tenderness, and irritation can make intimacy feel complicated. These local options contain hormones. Choose around an assessment of the tissue and the cause of your symptoms.
The guide connects stress, exhaustion, and desire. These selections address different aspects of that wider picture. Start with daily recovery, then consider targeted support; the formulas are alternatives to review.
Maca, chasteberry, and menopausal botanical blends have distinct roles. Match the preparation to the concern, with realistic expectations and attention to your cycle and health history.
Estrogen, progesterone, and androgens are part of sexual wellbeing. These preparations contain active hormones or a hormone precursor. Their use needs individual assessment, dosing, and follow up.
Start with the foundations, then choose around the concern you want to address. Your clinician can help you review overlapping ingredients and select the preparation, route, and follow up that fit.

Choose with your personal care plan in mind.
Functional medicine asks what may be contributing, then uses the right information to guide the next step. Bring your symptoms, cycle pattern, medicines, and existing results. Testing is useful when it can change the plan.
Wondering what your hormones are doing? DUTCH Complete uses urine collected at home to look at sex hormones, the substances your body makes as it processes them, and your daily cortisol pattern. It also includes selected markers related to melatonin and nutrient pathways. The results can add context to your cycle, sleep, and symptoms when read alongside your health history and any hormones you take.
Cycle timing, hormone use, medicines, and supplements belong in the interpretation. DUTCH Complete does not include the separate salivary cortisol awakening response.
Yes, I want to order my testYour vagina has its own community of bacteria and other microbes. This test looks at which organisms are present in your sample. It can add information when you are noticing changes in comfort, odor, or discharge, but the result needs to be read alongside your symptoms and hormonal changes.
Recurring changes in odor, discharge, or irritation can make intimacy feel complicated. This edit explores the vaginal microbiome, one part of the conversation about intimate health. Review it alongside symptoms, hormonal changes, and your history. It does not assess every cause of dryness, pain, or low desire, so the next step should fit what you are actually experiencing.
Begin with nourishment, sleep, movement, and your health history. Choose testing with a clear purpose. Current pricing, collection instructions, and ordering eligibility are shown on Fullscript. Labs are purchased separately from the teachings.
Fatigue, heavy periods, temperature changes, or dietary restrictions may point toward TSH and free T4, CBC, ferritin and iron studies, B12, or folate. Vitamin D and magnesium testing are selected when the history or risk factors justify them.
Blood pressure, glucose or HbA1c, lipids, and a metabolic panel can help assess the wider health picture when indicated. Fasting insulin or hsCRP may add context in selected cases. Longer term vascular health matters alongside everyday wellbeing.
Estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG, DHEA S, or prolactin may be considered for a specific question. Results depend on cycle timing, age, medicines, and the assay. No single testosterone level diagnoses the cause of low desire.
Dryness, recurrent infections, pain, and pelvic floor symptoms may call for an examination, urine testing, or targeted infection testing. A broad hormone panel cannot diagnose every cause of painful intimacy. Pelvic floor therapy should follow an assessment of muscle function.
The ebook discusses diurnal saliva cortisol, urine or saliva sex hormone panels, and urinary neurotransmitter testing. These can measure particular substances, but their clinical usefulness depends on the question. A cortisol curve does not by itself diagnose the cause of fatigue or establish a need for glandular products.
Urine and saliva hormone results do not directly measure hormone uptake into tissues and should not be used alone to set hormone doses. Urinary neurotransmitters are not a direct measurement of brain neurotransmitter levels and are not a required starting test for this protocol.
“Optimal” is individual: interpret results alongside symptoms, cycle phase, laboratory method, and health history. You do not need every test listed in the ebook. A well chosen test is more useful than a large panel without a clear question.
Choose one supportive action: eat a satisfying meal, make room for rest, or have an honest conversation about comfort and connection. Note whether the main concern is desire, pain, dryness, arousal, orgasm, or fatigue. That distinction helps you decide what to explore next.
If you choose a product with your clinician, agree on one goal, how to use it, what to watch for, and when to reassess. Track your comfort and wellbeing, rather than measuring success by how often you have sex.
The guide discusses maca and several traditional aphrodisiac herbs. Some small maca studies suggest potential sexual function benefits, but the exact preparation matters. Stress products have a supporting role when exhaustion or mental load is relevant; intimate products focus on tissue comfort. Neither should be presented as a guaranteed libido treatment.
Damiana, tribulus, Panax ginseng, holy basil, ashwagandha, black cohosh, maca, and vitex are teaching topics in the guide. They are not eight additional stand alone products in this collection.
HPA Adapt already includes holy basil, ashwagandha, and maca. Phytoest includes black cohosh; the botanical body cream contains black cohosh and ginseng. Maca and vitex also have their own selections here. Damiana and tribulus are not listed as stand alone selections in the supplied plan.
Traditional use, laboratory findings, and human clinical evidence are different kinds of support. Evidence for sexual benefits varies, and the ebook’s doses should not be transferred across different extracts or formulas.
No. Vitex is an herb, not plant progesterone. Phytoest and Phytoestrogen Body Cream are botanical blends. PhytoB L 4x contains progesterone, estriol, and estradiol; Pro Bi Est + contains estriol and estradiol; Pro Gest contains progesterone. The Hydration Ovals Plus formulas and Vaginal Beauty Serum contain estriol and DHEA. Oral DHEA is a hormone precursor.
No. This collection offers alternatives and different routes of use. The source plan contains older or incomplete instructions that need reconciliation with current labels. Confirm dose, route, cycle timing, and combinations with your clinician. The current Vaginal Beauty Serum label specifies external use only, despite the older plan’s internal use note.
Do not assume that more hormones, stronger products, or pelvic floor strengthening will solve it. Dryness, infection, skin conditions, and overactive pelvic floor muscles can need different care. Seek assessment for persistent pain, recurrent urinary symptoms, or irritation. Bleeding after menopause, unexplained bleeding after sex, or new significant pelvic pain deserves prompt medical evaluation.
Products and laboratory testing are purchased separately through the linked Rhea stores. Fullscript confirms the current product label, size, price, and availability. Your course materials remain in the existing member area.
