How Your Sex Drive Is Influenced By Hormones, Diet, and Lifestyle

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Athletic Greens.
Numerous factors can contribute to low sex drive and erectile
dysfunction. What we eat and how we live also have an instrumental
impact on our hormones. A high-sugar, refined-carbohydrate diet,
caffeine, stress, hormones in the food supply, and estrogen-like
toxins from pesticides, plastics, and pollution can all throw your
hormones out of whack. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling
Health Bites, I am talking all about sex drive: the role hormones
play, surprising things that kill your sex drive, and strategies
you can implement today to boost it. This episode is brought to you
