  • 46. The One Where Sex Is The Last Thing On Your Mind

    46. The One Where Sex Is The Last Thing On Your Mind
    2026/02/04
    If sex feels like the last thing on your mind right now, you’re not alone and you’re definitely not broken. Up to 40–50% of women experience low desire, low arousal, or pain with sex, especially in perimenopause and menopause.

    In this validating and practical episode, Dr. Sarah Vadeboncoeur breaks down why libido is so much more complex than hormones alone. Using the Bio–Psycho–Social–Interpersonal model, she explores how stress, mental load, body image, relationship dynamics, and cultural conditioning all influence desire.

    You’ll learn the difference between spontaneous desire and responsive desire, why long-term relationships naturally shift your sexual motivation, and how to create the conditions for sex that actually feels worth wanting. Sarah also covers when low desire becomes a problem (HSDD), the role of hormones like testosterone, and what evidence-based treatments can help.

    If you’ve ever dreaded “the look,” wondered where your libido went, or felt guilty for not wanting sex, this episode will help you feel seen and offer real tools to reshape your relationship with desire.

    What You’ll Learn
    • Why your libido is influenced by biology, mood, stress, culture & relationships
    • The Basson model: why desire often comes after arousal
    • How responsive desire is completely normal in long-term relationships
    • The role of hormones (and what testosterone can actually help with)
    • When low desire becomes HSDD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder) — and what to do next

    45. The One Where You Feel Safe to Speak Up with Elise Besler
    2026/01/21
    Have you ever swallowed your words, softened your boundaries, or kept quiet to avoid conflict, only to feel exhausted afterward?

    In this practical, myth-busting episode of The Fatigue Fixer, Dr. Sarah tackles one of the most common (and misunderstood) prescriptions for fatigue: exercise. If you’re tired, busy, overwhelmed, or stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset, this episode will help you rethink movement in a way that actually feels simple and doable.

    Sarah breaks down why feeling tired isn’t a reason to avoid exercise, how our increasingly sedentary lifestyles are quietly fueling fatigue, and why small, consistent movement habits matter far more than perfect workouts. From “exercise snacks” to NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), this episode offers realistic strategies to help you move more — without guilt, overthinking, or burnout.

    What You’ll Learn
    • Why Exercise Matters for Fatigue: Why movement is one of the most powerful tools for improving energy, even (and especially) when you feel tired.
    • How Sedentary Life Is Catching Up to Us: Eye-opening stats on physical activity levels in women and kids in Canada, and how work-from-home life has changed our daily movement.
    • Thinking Traps That Sabotage Exercise: How All-or-nothing thinking (“If I can’t do it perfectly, why bother?”) is keeping you stuck and busting motivation myths and why your brain is wired to resist movement
    • The Power of Small, Doable Movement: Why exercise snacks (8–10 minutes!) beat big, unrealistic plans and how consistency compounds over time.
    • Listener Question: ‘Why Don’t I Look Different?’: A compassionate reframe on why visual changes aren’t the best measure of exercise success and what benefits actually matter most.
    NEAT: The Unsung Hero
    How everyday movement (walking, chores, fidgeting) often impacts energy and metabolism more than formal workouts.

    Making Movement Fun (Again)
    Why enjoyment, social connection, and play matter more than discipline and how fun keeps habits sustainable.

    Actionable Takeaways
    • Something is always better than nothing.
    • Choose fun and accessible activities over complicated plans.
    • Prioritize consistency over intensity — twice a week for a year adds up fast.
    • Stop using beauty standards as motivation; focus on strength, energy, and function.
    • Build movement into daily life with short exercise snacks.
    • Let your phone screen time be a reminder to move your body.
