I have been low to moderate carbing for five years now and will never go back to the typical American diet. My niece is like your daughter. She will eat nothing but starchy stuff and is a pain in the behind afterward. Most of the behavior disordered kids on my caseload could have been greatly helped with a simple dietary change but nooooo the docs and parents preferred the little pills to make them behave.
The typical diet today is constant sugar overload. Years of malnutrition is going to affect behavior. Is it the answer to all the problems facing marriages today, of course not, but hey it may greatly reduce the irritability, mood swings, PMS, anger, compulsive spending (compulsiveness is a symptom) lack of desire, etc...

As I read these posts and people's frustration, the first thing to consider and rule out is hormone production. Is is adequate? If not, what is impairing it? Age of the patient? Food intake? Health? Genetics?, Stress?, Meds?, etc. Why am I picking on hormones? Because they are tiny messengers and you could consider, in the hierarchy of the body, the top in importance. Lets continue. When a couple start to complain, for example, about their sex life, it is so easy to test their libido. To be aroused, or ready to be aroused, hormonally speaking, certain things need to be on board or not be on board in their body. Correct testing will determine this, correct method of delivery, correct amount, and correct type of hormone supplementation will easily correct this horrendous frustration that couples feel.
Testosterone supplementation for the aging couple, in men and women, will start to work within an hour or two - to several days depending on how depleted the cells in the body were. Testosterone is what gives us our raging sex drive. It is imperative to have a healthy, screaming sex drive at any age BUT especially as we get older! Like building a house you start with the foundation - the body first and have it checked out thoroughly, then of course go from there.
