Can Hormone Imbalance Kill a Marriage? Here’s How We Fought Back Together
Episode description
In this episode of The Weaponized Marriage Podcast, Dr. Ryan and Kendra Hewitt peel back the curtain on a topic many couples are curious about, but few are talking about openly—hormone health and how it impacts marriage. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, this episode is a wake-up call to the unseen ways declining hormones can silently erode connection, sex drive, and overall vitality.
Dr. Ryan shares his personal journey into testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) after years of physical burnout and chronic underperformance despite high-intensity training and a “healthy” lifestyle. Kendra gets vulnerable about her resistance, the fears many women have around hormone therapy, and how her own journey with low testosterone and long-term birth control use left her feeling foggy, exhausted, and disconnected.
Together, they walk through:
• The hidden signs of hormone dysfunction in both men and women
• How stress, overtraining, and poor recovery can destroy hormone health
• Why traditional medicine often fails couples looking to optimize—not just survive
• The emotional and sexual disconnects caused by hormone imbalance
• The unexpected intimacy, clarity, and confidence that came from hormone optimization
• The importance of growing together in health—not apart
This episode offers a raw, real-world look at how optimizing hormones can strengthen emotional intimacy, improve physical health, and even save a struggling sex life. It’s not about shortcuts or “biohacking”; it’s about committing to vitality—for yourself and your spouse.
Key Takeaways:
• Hormone imbalances often show up as fatigue, fogginess, low libido, or emotional disconnect
• TRT and hormone optimization isn’t just for aesthetics—it improves brain, body, and relationship health
• Resistance to change often stems from outdated beliefs or fear; education leads to empowerment
• A shared commitment to health is one of the strongest investments couples can make
• You don’t need to be broken to get better—testing and proactive care is key to long-term vitality
