For years, I believed my low libido was simply a hormonal problem. I tried supplements, homeopathy, and countless healing strategies, but one of the biggest missing pieces turned out to be something much simpler: I wasn't eating enough carbohydrates.

In this video, I share my personal journey from years of low-carb eating to intentionally increasing my carbohydrate intake to around 200–250 grams per day, and the unexpected improvements that followed.

We'll discuss:

Why chronic under-eating and low-carb diets may contribute to low libido

The connection between carbohydrates, cortisol, and your nervous system

How thyroid function and metabolism influence hormones

Why your body prioritizes survival over reproduction when energy is scarce

My experience with improved libido, workout recovery, body temperature, and resilience

Why healing often requires nourishment, not more restriction


This isn't about telling everyone to eat the same way. Every body is different, and low libido can have many causes, including nutritional, hormonal, emotional, and relationship factors. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to look at the whole picture rather than fearing one particular macronutrient.

✨ If you're struggling with low libido, fatigue, hormone imbalances, thyroid issues, or feel like your body is stuck in survival mode, I'd love to help.
