In this episode, Ian and I sit down with Josh and Katy Whalen, founders of JOI + BLOKES, to talk about something that’s more common than people think, but far from normal: the loss of sex drive. Josh opens up about his personal health crisis that nearly cost him his marriage. After being dismissed by traditional doctors, he discovered his low libido was actually caused by low testosterone levels, something only uncovered through deep lab work and the help of a functional health practitioner. Katy shares her own story about post-kids hormonal shifts, and how it inspired her to launch JOI, a women-focused solution built alongside BLOKES. Together, they created a nationwide service that brings advanced lab testing right to your doorstep. Clinicians come to your home, draw blood, and walk you through your results, giving you an actionable plan (complete with supplement support) to restore your vitality. If you’ve ever felt like something’s “off” but your doctor says you’re fine, this episode is for you. Discover how getting to the root cause can completely change your life, and your relationships.
