Libido is NOT an all-encompassing term. Desire, arousal, and org*sm are 3 different words with 3 different meanings!
Finding the initial culprit of the 3 helps us treat your pleasure properly. So take note of where you struggle: Is it the desire to be intimate? Is it a challenge to physically experience arousal? Can you reach org*sm easily, if at all? Knowing where the struggle lies sets the baseline for your care. And no…a glass of wine and bubble bath is not a valid prescr!ption.

Mast cells are supposed to release chemicals to fight real threats like toxins and allergens, but in someone with MCAS, those cells are hyper-reactive and degranulate (activate) in response to things that shouldn’t trigger them; like stress, temperature, smells, certain foods, and yes, hormonal changes!

It’s not a true allergy, but it does present like one. And in midlife when your hormones are shifting, specifically estrogen, these symptoms begin to present for the first time (or just more noticeably than before). Symptoms can look like hives, swelling, abdominal pain, ‘emergency’ diarrhea, wheezing, runny nose, tachycardia, lightheadedness, migraines, and sudden anxiety or feelings of doom…just to name a few.

I know how exhausting it can be when even the professionals don’t quite understand what’s going on, nor do they have the capacity to try. Our healthcare system just isn’t trained to make these connections, even though your symptoms should always be seen from a wide lens.
You know who will take a step back with you? We will 😉

Celiac and Endo! Who knew? 🧐

03/11/2026

If you’ve ever been told your endometriosis pain “doesn’t make sense” because your lesions are small, this is for you. Endometriosis pain isn’t just about the physical tissue. There’s a conversation that’s gone wrong between your hormones and your immune system.

With endo, your mast cells (immune cells) get triggered by estrogen, release chemicals that irritate your nerves, and eventually cause your body to grow more nerves in the wrong places.
This process puts reason behind why your body becomes hyper-sensitive to pain, regardless of how much “disease” is actually there.

Your pain is very much real, it just isn’t visible; which makes a deeper understanding of endometriosis and mast cells crucial to your care plan and treatment process. At Mystic Valley S*xual Wellness, we’re very proud to be able to offer this knowledge to our patients in crafting their highly personalized care plan. You won’t see band-aid treatment here.

I get asked all the time if the goal is to run Mystic Valley full-time, and the answer is actually no. I opened my private practice so I could stop feeling burnt out and finally provide the kind of care I know my patients deserve, while still serving this beautiful community I call home a few days a week. I’ve poured my heart and soul into the community health center for over a decade, and I don’t have plans to stop now.

Traditional insurance-based healthcare makes it incredibly hard to give women the time and holistic care they need. By creating a sustainable model for my own practice, I can still show up for the populations that have the hardest time finding s*xual and menopause health experts, in the place it all began.

Low libido. Numbness where there used to be desire. Irritation when intimacy feels like pressure instead of connection.

During perimenopause and menopause, many women quietly wonder, What happened to me?

On St. Patrick’s Day, we’re surrounded by the idea of luck, something you stumble upon, hope for, or feel you’ve lost. But when it comes to intimacy in midlife, luck isn’t random. It’s rooted in understanding what’s happening in your body, your nervous system, and your relationships.

Join Magen Price Mystic Valley Sexual Wellness, PC and Robyn Vogel for a grounded, evidence-informed conversation about female arousal, desire, and intimacy during perimenopause and menopause and how to rebuild connection without pressure, performance, or pathologizing normal transitions.

Join this free virtual event on Tuesday, March 17 at 6:00pm and stop wondering,
“Is this just how it is now?”

So many women quietly notice the shifts:
Less desire.
Less arousal.
Less connection.

And almost no one explains why.

Midlife intimacy changes for real physiological reasons. Hormones fluctuate. Blood flow shifts. Stress accumulates. Sleep disruption impacts the nervous system. Emotional load increases.

This is not a personal failure.
It is a biological transition.

Get Lucky is a grounded, evidence-informed conversation about what actually drives female arousal in midlife, and how intimacy can be rebuilt with clarity, compassion, and nervous system safety.

No performance.
No shame.
No pressure.

Just real information and honest dialogue.
