Actress Kate Winslet is sharing some personal advice that she hopes will help other women. She’s sharing how she boosted her sex drive.

Winslet has been married to Edward Abel Smith for 12 years, and apparently, she wasn’t feeling sexy for awhile. We can come to that conclusion because she now says she feels “sexy again” after having a recent treatment.

According to The Daily Mail, the treatment Winslet had was testosterone replacement therapy, also called TPT. Now, Winslet is speaking out about this treatment because she believes it could help other women.

Winslet shared this advice during the How To Fail podcast. Her revelation came as a response to a listener who asked about increasing their sex drive.

Winslet explained, “Sometimes women have a real dip in libido because there might be stuff going on with their thyroid.” She continued, “There could also be stuff going on with your level of testosterone.”

The actress shared, “A lot of people don’t know this but women have testosterone in their body, when it runs out – like eggs – it’s gone, and once it’s gone you have to replace it and that is something that can be done and you’ll feel sexy again… I know.”

Winslet shared a recommendation. She said, “I would suggest for your physical self, have your thyroid levels checked and your testosterone levels checked well because those things could have a direct impact on how you’re actually feeling.”

Reassuring the listener, Winslet added, “It’s not your fault, our bodies are weird and they behave in strange ways especially as we get older.” She explained, “So there could be a dip in those hormonal levels for you that is contributing much more than you think to how you’re feeling about having sex with your boyfriend, so I would definitely go ahead and do that.”

Even though she’s getting older, Winslet is confident in her own body. She said, “I think I look flipping amazing. We have to own it, this is the thing.”

Winslet thinks women are conditioned to worry about how they look as they get older. She explained, “We’re so conditioned, women, in our 40s to think ‘oh well I’m creeping closer to the end’. You think you’re going into menopause and you’ll stop having sex, your boobs are going to sag and your skin’s going to go crapey. First of all, so what? It’s just conditioning.”

The actress shared that she thinks women get better with age. She said, “I think women as they get older get juicier and sexier and more embedded in their truth of who they are and more powerful, more able to walk through the world and care less and that is an empowering thing. I say to my friends all the time ‘you look amazing, you look great.'”
