Sexy is not an age, a dress size, or a number on the scale. It is a state of confidence, vitality, and connection. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with nurse practitioner and hormone expert **Kimberly Cunningham** to explore what it means to **redefine sexy in midlife.**

From hormone changes to pelvic floor health, from antidepressants to vibrators, we go where most conversations don’t. Kimberly shares insights from her clinical experience and we laugh, learn, and get real about what it looks like to embrace sexy at any age!

What we cover in Episode 78:

- How hormone shifts influence confidence, libido, and relationships

- The surprising role of testosterone in women’s pelvic floor health and sexual pleasure

- Why antidepressants are NOT the answer for low libido

- **Yes, sex toys!** How they can help support pleasure and connection

- The mindset shift that helps women feel empowered, confident, and fully alive

This is one you may want to watch on YouTube, where we share **anatomy visuals and examples of sex toys** alongside the discussion.

Sex after 40: does it really change, or is that just a tagline? In this eye-opening episode of Nourish with Michelle Fox, I sit down hormone expert Kimberly Cunningham to get real about what no one tells you about intimacy, hormones, and pleasure after 40.

From testosterone and pelvic floor health to estrogen and lubrication, Kimberly explains the science behind why so many women experience changes, and why it’s not your fault. We also explore the mental and relational shifts that make sex after 40 more confident, playful, and empowering than ever before.

What we cover in Episode 77:

- How hormones impact libido, orgasms, and pelvic floor strength

- Why testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone all matter for sexual wellness

- The science behind sexual function (and dysfunction) after 40

- How confidence, wisdom, and communication make intimacy even richer

- Practical solutions - from hormone therapy to sex toys to scheduling sex - that can transform your experience

This is part two of our special 8-part series with Kimberly Cunningham, and it’s one of my favorite conversations yet! Get ready to laugh, learn, and leave empowered.

Over the past year, I’ve been on quite a journey. I'm down 43 pounds, with more energy, a healthy libido, and a renewed sense of self. But it wasn’t always this way. For too long, I struggled with depression and anxiety, not realizing they were among the 80+ possible symptoms of menopause.

In this very special 8-part series, I’m joined by board-certified nurse practitioner Kimberly Cunningham, founder of Cunningham Clinic, author, educator, and national trainer in hormone therapy and aesthetics. Kimberly shares her personal healing story after a devastating pelvic injury, and together we open the conversation about what it really takes to thrive after 40.

In today’s episode, we explore:

• Why so many women suffer in silence with perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
• Kimberly’s inspiring story of resilience and recovery through hormone therapy.
• The truth about testosterone and estrogen, and why women need both.
• How hormone replacement can protect against disease and restore vitality.

If you’ve ever thought, “Is this normal?” when facing changes in your body, this conversation is for you. You are not alone, and you don’t have to suffer!

Prepare for an episode of Nourish with Michelle Fox that's bound to leave you in awe! Before we dive into the heart-warming content of this Valentine's Day-themed episode, I have some news to share.

As of March 15th, I'll be embarking on a one-month sabbatical to hit the reset button and nourish my own well-being. I want to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support throughout my podcasting journey.

This is not a goodbye to our community, but a brief pause to recharge and return with even more inspiration on how I want to serve. Please don't tune out - we have incredible episodes lined up through the month of February, so let's make it a farewell to remember.

This may seem like a surprise, but I ask you to trust that it's all part of a bigger picture of self-love and kindness. Join me in celebrating the power of taking a break and prioritizing self-care!

Speaking of which - it can be easy to forget to be kind - not just to others, but to ourselves sometimes. So, today I am thrilled to be joined by THREE amazing women to explore this concept: Andrea Herbert, Iffie Jennings and Tiffany Wachtler. This episode dives deep into reflections on kindness, the importance of self-love, and how to blend personal and professional lives. Let’s dig in!
