In this Finnish podcast episode Sonja Hannus explores why many women experience a loss of libido and what the underlying causes reveal about their bodies. She opens with a vivid scenario of a couple’s morning tension, then shares her own personal journey after stopping hormonal contraception, which led to severe acne, irregular cycles, and premenstrual symptoms. Sonja describes how conventional Western medicine failed her, prompting a turn toward holistic and Eastern wisdom to restore a regular 28‑day cycle, healthy relationships, and eventual pregnancy. The core of the episode is a biological deep‑dive: libido is framed as a signal of the body’s readiness for reproduction, requiring three pillars—energy, hormonal rhythm, and nervous‑system safety. She explains the hormonal cascade around ovulation (estrogen surge, testosterone rise, dopamine release) and the role of progesterone as a “safety” hormone post‑ovulation. Stress hormones (cortisol) and chronic energy deficits suppress testosterone and progesterone, shutting down libido. Neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin are linked to desire, mood, and connection, while the vagal‑ventral safety state governs oxytocin flow. Emotional factors like grief, loss, and chronic tension are highlighted as hidden suppressors of sexual drive. Practical advice follows: support ovulation through nutrition, balanced blood sugar, adequate macro‑ and micronutrients, stress‑reduction techniques, nervous‑system work, and targeted hormone support. Sonja promotes her HelioHormones coaching programs (individual, group, and “Ready and Regulated” sessions) and offers a free micronutrient guide in exchange for podcast reviews. The episode also contains brief ad reads for an energy drink and a pharmaceutical product (Epglyss/lebrikizumab). The overall message is empathetic and empowering: low libido is a physiological signal, not a personal flaw, and can be restored by addressing energy, hormonal balance, and nervous‑system safety.
