Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones
Most women have heard about the gut microbiome, oral microbiome, and skin microbiome. But the vaginal microbiome is still treated like an awkward side conversation, even though it can affect infections, odor, irritation, dryness, painful sex, pH, arousal, and the way women feel in their own bodies. And that's where so many women get stuck. They know something feels off, but the answer they get is usually the same: it must be yeast, BV, dryness, hygiene, age, or stress. Then the symptoms come back, the tissue feels even more sensitive, sex starts to hurt, odor feels embarrassing, or the products that were supposed to help make everything burn. In this episode of Hello Hormones, I'm joined by Wendy Strgar, founder of Good Clean Love and Vaginal Biome Science, for the vaginal health conversation women should have been getting all along. Wendy has spent over two decades studying vaginal health, product safety, intimacy, and the vaginal microbiome. Her work has led to multiple U.S. patents, research studies, FDA regulatory involvement, and a product line endorsed by over 20,000 physicians, which gives her a rare perspective on what women are experiencing, what the science is showing, and where conventional vaginal care is still falling short.
