AWAKENING

HERE’S A FACT: MILLENNIALS

ARE HAVING LESS SEX than the

generation before them. If you’re

opting out by choice, great; but if

it’s because you can’t seem to find

the right mood, then there are new

natural supplements eager to helm

the search party.

Unsurprisingly, feeling stressed is

a sure-fire way to put your sex drive

in reverse. “Stress is the archenemy

of our natural sexual desire, wreaking

havoc on our hormones, shocking the

nervous system and depleting our

energy,” explains Kirsten Shanks,

naturopath and founder of Orchard

Street. “You’re left feeling simply too

exhausted at the end of the day.”

Shanks has harnessed the libido-

boosting power of the cordyceps

mushroom in her latest offering – and

she recommends stirring the earthy

powder into coffee. “It turns your

brew into a libido-lifting and adrenal-

supporting energising elixir,” she says.

If you prefer a (ahem) fruitier vibe,

Welleco’s maca root and red

raspberry blend promise to boost

“heathy sexual function”, plus support

the body in handling stress. Mix with

water and take as a shot, or pour into

a smoothie. Whichever you choose,

expect to notice a change in less

than two weeks. Plan accordingly.
