In this eye-opening episode of Progress Over Perfection, relationship counselor Mauro Daviddi interviews health coach Sharon Gleeson on a topic that’s rarely talked about but deeply important—the link between gut health, hormone balance, and intimacy in relationships.

Sharon shares her personal journey from corporate burnout to wellness coach, and dives into how nutrition, stress, sleep, and self-care can make or break your romantic connection.

They explore:

• How burnout and low energy affect libido

• Why poor gut health disrupts testosterone, estrogen, and mood

• How perimenopause and menopause impact relationships

• What men need to know about andropause and intimacy

• Sharon’s Five Lifestyle Pillars: Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Stress, and Self-Care

• Prebiotic and probiotic foods that support better gut and sexual health

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, disconnected, or out of sync in their relationship. It’s not just about emotions—it’s about biology, self-awareness, and small changes that rebuild connection.
