The Pause Life by Dr. Mary Claire Haver

This week on unPAUSED, I dive into the Menopause Masterclass and unpack an important, often misunderstood topic: hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). HSDD is real. It’s not “I hate my partner.” It’s not a relationship problem. It’s when desire disappears despite loving, respecting, and feeling supported by your partner. This is very different from low libido caused by stress, resentment, or relationship strain. And it’s also why testosterone alone is not the fix. For HSDD to be the diagnosis, desire was there before. The relationship hasn’t changed. Stress levels are stable. And yet, intimacy feels… gone. Understanding the difference matters because treatment, support, and outcomes depend on it. Want to hear the full conversation? Tap the link: https://youtu.be/6YtcSINGVGQ
