How to Increase Libido & Sexual Function
God created men and women to be fruitful and multiply. This command is based on His amazing design of the human body to produce LIFE. It comes from an intricate system of endocrine glands, sexual organs, hormones, seed, and eggs that come together to bring forth life.
Men have hormones that can produce seed and bring life well into their 60s, 70s, and beyond. Women should be able to bring forth children well into and through their 40s, at least until menopause. It is a lack of health, according to God's design of the human body, that leads to reduced sexual function and libido. It is NOT a result of age, but more accurately described as a lack of a proper healthy lifestyle.
Top 4 Causes of Low Libido & Sexual Function
Poor Nutrition - Chronic sugar consumption, white flour, sweets, bread, pasta, soda, grains, fast food, and other delicacies weaken the body and lead to poor hormonal function.
Synthetic Hormones & Drugs - We are duped into taking synthetic hormones, birth control pills, Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and other man-made chemical toxins. They are a CHEMICAL band-aid for a body that isn't working properly, causing many long-term dangerous side effects, including cancer.
Synthetic Estrogens - Soy and hops in beer are estrogenic hormone mimickers. Alcohol in general is acidic and harmful to the liver, glands, and reproductive organs. Hormones pumped in animals, to bulk them up, go right into our bodies through dairy and meat products. Soy protein powders have caused damage to many people thinking they were doing something healthy. Herbicides, pesticides, and plastics all contain synthetic estrogens. Avoid consumption of and exposure to these things.
Stress - Stress makes everything worse. It shuts down every system of the body when we are in "fight or flight" mode. Decrease your stress and uplift your mood to give your hormones the ability to function properly.
5 Foods for Healthy Sexual Function & Libido
Nuts & Seeds - Why? They are the reproductive part of the plant! Isn't God an amazing designer? Nuts and seeds have vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats known to increase health, vitality, brain function, and sexual function. Pumpkin seeds, in particular, are loaded with magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats. Eat a few as a daily snack, or buy some pumpkin oil to add to your salads.
Beef Liver - This is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet that provides the body with essential vitamins and minerals to function properly. When the body is nourished, it feels the safety to reproduce.
Chocolate - The problem is the SUGAR. So be careful here and don't use it as an excuse to eat junk. You can make your own chocolate sauce using raw cacao. There are also plenty of clean options that aren’t full of sugar. Make sure to look for dark chocolate when purchasing. But yes, chocolate does contain nutrients that release endorphins that have an aphrodisiac response in the body.
Avocado - Have you ever considered how the avocado looks like a baby in the womb? Again, God is a good designer, and nothing is by mistake. The healthy fats in avocados are superb for hormone health and sexual function.
Water - Blood flow is crucial, so we must hydrate our bodies. If you are drinking soda, coffee, or other beverages, they can be hormone busters. So, think hydration and blood flow!

5 Therapies & Lifestyle Tips for Sexual Function & Libido
Exercise - Of course! Blood flow. Without blood flow, nothing works... Jumping jacks, push-ups, pull-ups, or some jogging are great ways to get blood moving. It doesn't have to be complicated. Just move.
Far Infrared Sauna - Toxicity is a big reason why so many people are unhealthy. One of the quickest ways to detoxify and heal the body is through sweating. Sweating can be achieved through exercise, but even greater with a far infrared sauna.
iMRS Machine - This electromagnetic therapy device heals the body at the cellular level and increases circulation throughout the entire body, down to the capillaries. There is nothing we know of that’s better for quickly increasing circulation than the iMRS machine.
Hot/Cold Shower - Sound like fun? If you want to improve circulation and wake up your nervous system quickly, switch the shower from hot to cold, back to hot, back to cold, and continue. Try to do this for about 30 seconds on each setting before every switch. Good morning!
Fasting - Fasting is one of the quickest ways to cleanse the body of impurities. Considering the above reasons for poor sexual function and libido (drugs, sugar, alcohol, and other toxins), it makes sense to fast and cleanse out impurities. Try going 7-10 days on just raw fruits and veggies, or better yet, try our Kidney Cleanse and Lymphatic Cleanse to get things moving.
Sexual function and libido are important. They play a significant role in God's kingdom and are an astounding aspect of His design. It comes naturally through proper stewardship of what He gave us. It is never too late to throw away the drugs and chemicals and pursue God's natural design of our bodies. Choosing God is choosing life and it brings longevity and a deeper connection with God and creation.
"Therefore, I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:1-2
