Episode Details

393: Vaginal health is a taboo topic and sadly because it is, countless women are suffering in silence when it comes to any kind of vaginal issue whether it be UTIs, yeast infection, vaginal dryness, infections, and basically anything related. So today's, we are breaking that stigma with Wendy Strgar who specializes in vaginal health and has her own line of lube specifically designed to support the vaginal microbiome - yes, we have a microbiome down there just like we have a gut microbiome, oral microbiome, and skin microbiome. We talk about probiotic suppositories, if putting a garlic clove up your V is a good idea, vaginal pain that so many women suffer with, and why using pure coconut oil as a natural lube alternative may actually be causing bacteria and yeast infections!

→ Why women suffer silently with vaginal issues
