Revive My Libido!

So you wonder where your libido went…you remember intellectually what it feels like to have a sex drive, but your body just can’t remember how to get there?  Take heart,  you are not alone!  The level of stress most of us are under is causing our adrenal glands to be in overdrive chronically creating a high demand for adrenaline.  The body will convert sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) into cortisol to keep up with the demands of the adrenal glands.  Testosterone is a big player in arousal for both men and women.  Women need to have adequate estrogen levels to keep their libido.

Premier Research Labs has a great product to nutritionally feed your libido and that is Testosterone Complex, best used along with Liver-ND to assure your liver is conjugating hormones properly.  You will also want to consider AdrenaVen (formally Adrenal Complex) to feed your adrenals and calm your whole stress mechanism down.  Think of your primal brain, when you are chronically stressed it thinks you are in mortal danger…as if you were being chased by a dinosaur, and do you think your body will activate your sex drive while you are being chased by that dinosaur?

We also have a very affordable product from Christopher Herb called Libido Formula and I highly recommend it as libido food.  Christopher’s Libido Formula or PRL’s Testosterone Complex can be boosted with hormone cream for tougher cases.  We carry Female, Male and Adrenal herbal creams for hormone balance and have an herbal libido cream from our hormone lab for a bigger boost.  Those with extreme stress or severe hormone imbalance will be interested in our custom hormone testing through saliva for individualized cream formulation.  Contact us for detailed information on hormone testing.

In the meantime there are foods that can help boost libido (source naturalnews.com).  Enjoying an active sex life is essential to our well being, and the foods we eat play a large role in ensuring we feel in the mood.  Some of the foods that can help turn us on include:

• • Pumpkin seeds – Pumpkin seeds are one of the few foods that contain zinc, which is vital for testosterone production in men.  A deficiency can make a woman completely lose her sex drive.  These yummy seeds are also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital to overall sexual well being.
• • Goji Berries – In Asia, goji berries are known as a strong sexual tonic.  They increase testosterone levels, which stimulates libido in both men and women.  Furthermore, they improve overall stamina, mood and well being, all of which are vital for an optimum sex life.
• • Maca – This is one of the new superfoods out that can improve performance and alleviate impotency.  It increases sperm count and testosterone levels in men.  It makes people desire sex more frequently, especially women.
• •Bananas – Give a boost to male libido.  They contain an enzyme called Bromelain which is important for sexual health.  They are also a good source of B vitamins which increase the body’s energy levels and the sex hormones.
• •Celery – This sexual simulator boosts a powerful substance known as androsterone, which is an odorless aphrodisiac in male perspiration.
• •Avocado – Avocados help to increase both male and female libido.  They contain very high levels of folic acid, and give the body sexual energy.  Avocado is also high in vitamin B6, which is a potent hormone regulator.
• •Bee Pollen – Bee pollen can help boost the sperm count.  After all, it is made from millions of particles of a semen-like substance.  Pollen’s role in nature is to fertilize.
• •Asparagus – Asparagus is very high in vitamin E, which is a vital nutrient for good sex.
• •Chillies – Capsaicin, which is the substance that give chillies their heat, releases endorphins and other “feel good” hormones necessary for a spicy sex life.
• •Basil – Basil increases circulation, stimulates the sex drive and boosts fertility.  This tasty herb cultivates a sense of wellbeing,  which allows one to experience sexual bliss.
• •Figs – Figs are very high in amino acids, which is critical to increasing libido and boosting sexual stamina.
• •Garlic – Garlic contains high levels of allicin, which can improve blood flow to the sexual organs.

Eat your way back to a healthy libido… and supplement where needed.
