[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 268894, member: 15235"] Welcome! I'm far from an expert on female physiology but here are a few thoughts.. - I assume you're not on the pill, but if you are, it/they are known to change the nature of libido for many women in the direction of less interest and/or interest in less desirable men. Check out the book Your Brain on the Pill or the podcasts with the author. There is one on Dave Asprey's site that I thought was very interesting. - I have seen online comments of DHEA improving libido in women, but I also believe it converts to estrogen in women. Pregnenolone and Progesterone might also be worth an experiment. - "Dieting" could mean a lot of things but in general, a low-calorie state is a signal to the body that it's not a good time to reproduce. You might try higher calories within an 8-10 hour feeding window and see how you do with that. Also, many women do not do well with ultra-low carb which can cause thyroid issues in some cases. - I suggest the book Perfect Health Diet as a diet home base, and then fine tune from there. Many men benefit from what I'll call the "Carnivore with moderate carbs" diet so that is a flavor of PHD to try. - Trying to do two stressful things at once (increase muscle and decrease body fat) is a recipe for systemic "over-training" which is, at least in men, a libido stopper. You might consider a "de-load" for a couple of weeks and see if that helps. Shifting towards fairly brief workouts, at least until your libido is back, may also be helpful - If you have signs of excess cortisol, that will need to be addressed - If you have any reason to believe you have a chronic infection of some sort or mold exposure, you may have a form of chronic fatigue which the lack of sex drive is a side-effect from - PT-141 or Melanotan II are both well-known to increase libido in women and are easily available w/o prescription, however if any of the above were issues, you would just be putting a temporary fix in place without addressing the underlying issue. That could certainly be a reasonable thing to do, but you would still want to look for root causes. On the other hand, sun exposure increases libido in many people and MT II could be considered "injectable sunshine", so if you're somewhere with decent sun exposure you certainly would not want to avoid the sun. - I would think a TRT experiment would be relatively low risk, but again it might not be the root cause. Women's bodybuilding discussion boards likely have lots of info on the risks, but I have not heard of women who stop T having any issues, unlike men where it can be a real problem. - A diet very low in Salt or other essential vitamins/minerals can cause libido issues (as discussed in the book the Salt Fix) - If you have some sort of unresolved emotional trauma, I can see that being an issue that would be hard for physical solutions to overcome, but only you would be able to determine that. Ok, Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
