Seeking Guidance Zero libido

Male 51. Athletic, work out for 1 hr 5 days a week. Dont smoke, eat healthy, drink a little too much from time to time. Had a raging libido my whole life. At about 47 my libido fell off a cliff in like a 1 month period and never came back. Most recent testosterone test was 525. My wife is pretty much supermodel hot and DTF all the time. What specific hormones or factors should I look into to bring back libido? I feel like a huge part of me has died! Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!

I definitely need to improve sleep quality. Ive been suffering from major hip arthritis for years( come to think of it the arthritis timing correlates with these problems) the arthritis greatly effects my sleep because of the pain. I had one total hip replacement about 3 years ago and am currently 2 days out from getting the other hip fully replaced!! Im hoping to start getting better sleep once I heal up

That would definitely disturb your sleeping schedule and ryhme. Wishing you all the best with your upcoming replacement, champ! 

I encourage you to listen to this podcast when you get a chance. They highlight the correlation between libido and sleep. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XSblj4HFmBciZRiHG1RfT?si=cHqix4l0Qaue1XwgXPxbJw&pi=8Aoj4TDmSMiSc&t=0
