About this course

Low libido is one of the most common, misunderstood, and mismanaged concerns in clinical practice, affecting patients across all demographics but particularly those with complex trauma, chronic illness, or hormonal imbalances.

Estimates suggest that desire disorders impact 40% of women and 15% of men at some point in their lives, yet conventional approaches often fail to address root causes.

Dr Keesha Ewers is a pioneer of Functional Sexology with expertise in functional medicine, trauma-informed care, and integrative health approaches. She sees many patients struggling with desire disorders that stem from multifactorial causes requiring comprehensive, personalised treatment.

In this presentation, Dr Ewers details how you can identify and assess low libido using a functional sexology framework. She spends significant time detailing the many therapeutic options available and when and how each approach is most applicable, moving beyond pharmaceutical-only models.

This is an empowering discussion on caring for the many people challenged with desire disorders through a trauma-informed, systems-based approach.
