From familiar, everyday ingredients such as walnuts, watermelon, and asparagus to high-potency Chinese herbs like cistanche and cordyceps fungus, there are a variety of powerful options for you to effectively boost your libido and have a tasty time doing it. When it comes to incorporating these herbs and superfoods, I suggest adding them in gradually. It can be easy to unbalance your hormones or tax your endocrine system with too many new “stimulating” ingredients that your body needs time to get familiar with. Start with a small amount of one new ingredient and play with it, preferably under the guidance of a holistic medical doctor or nutritionist, before moving on to the next.
I like to keep a journal in my kitchen to document how new ingredients and recipes affect my body and my state of being. It’s also important to be aware of any feeling that a particular supplement has lost its original potency. For example, with maca powder, I find it’s best for my body if I take a staggered approach with my consumption. I’ve found that consuming it with a five-days- on, two-days-off approach is pretty effective and helps to prevent its potency from plateauing. With many superfoods and herbs, it’s a good idea to be mindful and use them in moderation while carefully monitoring the effects on your body, mind, and spirit.
Preparing food with your partner and infusing love into your meal can be a very intimate and sensual experience. There’s a beautiful connection that is fostered with your lover when you prepare a nourishing delectable meal together. You can set the mood—and enhance the magic—by lighting candles and putting on music. It’s truly a wonderful way to bond with your partner and enjoy the connection of culinary creativity.
It’s time now to rev up your libido and take your love life to the next level with recipes designed to balance your hormones, increase your sex drive, and boost your
overall energy.
My top nutrients for good sex:
Vitamin A: Helps regulate the synthesis of the sex hormone progesterone, which is important for that loving feeling.
Vitamin B1: Essential for optimal nerve transmission and energy production throughout the body, which is vital to increase libido.
Vitamin B3: Enhance the sexual flush, increase blood flow to the skin and mucous membranes.
Vitamin E: Known as the king of sex vitamins due to its ability to boost libido, increase sperm count, improve sperm motility and support healthy circulation throughout the body.
Magnesium: Important for the production of sex hormones and neurotransmitters that modulate the primal urges down yonder.
Coconut Lemongrass Risotto
Serves 6 to 8
Making risotto requires the patience of a saint and the tenacity of a honey badger. So, if you’re going to put that much time and energy into the creation of a dish, why not funk it up like George Clinton? This radical risotto recipe takes classic Italian techniques and spices them up with some titillating Thai influence, including coconut milk, lemongrass, and basil. It’s ultra-creamy, tastes super decadent, and also happens to be cholesterol free. The coconut milk naturally balances your hormones and gives you more energy, while lemongrass contains good amounts of zinc, which is essential for male sexual health.
In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer on low heat. In a separate large stockpot, heat the coconut oil and olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the yellow onion, lemongrass, and ginger until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low. Stir in the arborio rice and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, thoroughly coating the rice with oil. Stir in the sweet rice wine and cook until the wine is completely absorbed. Add the vegetable broth ½ cup at a time, stirring very frequently.
Wait until each portion of broth is completely absorbed by the rice before adding more broth. When only about 1 cup of vegetable broth is left to put in, add the asparagus, dried basil, and white truffle salt to the stockpot. Continue to add the broth as before.
When all of the broth is completely absorbed, the rice should be tender and very creamy. The entire cooking process for the rice is about 35 to 40 minutes. If the rice is still a little firm at that point, add more vegetable broth ½ cup at a time and continue cooking until tender but still al dente. Stir in the coconut milk and cook until fully absorbed, another 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
7 to 8 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 1/2 tablespoons organic virgin coconut oil
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemongrass, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ginger root, peeled and minced
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup sweet rice wine
2 cups asparagus, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon dried basil
Dash white truffle salt, to taste
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
