CLITEROLOGY

The vaginal microbiome plays a crucial role in women's health, influencing fertility, pregnancy, and the progression of cervical cancer. It is a complex community of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and microbes residing in the vagina. A healthy vaginal microbiome is dominated by beneficial bacteria like lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, creating a protective barrier that prevents pathogens from thriving and safeguarding the reproductive organs. Disruption in the balance of the vaginal microbiome can lead to conditions such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and other forms of...

SHOW NOTES

This episode delves into the often misunderstood condition of endometriosis. Chelsea Leyland, founder of Looni, joins us to shed light on this topic and empower others with knowledge and support.

Topics we cover include understanding endometriosis, holistic approaches to treatment, challenging shame and stigma surrounding women’s genitalia and periods, and empowerment and advocating for yourself in the room with doctors and healthcare professionals. 

Endometriosis is a condition where scar tissue from the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. Shockingly, 1 in 10 people who menstruate have this condition, yet it often takes over 10 years to receive a diagnosis. Many patients feel unheard and unseen by their physicians, leading to frustration and loss of faith in the medical system. Nutrition, stress levels, and lifestyle factors play crucial roles in managing endometriosis symptoms. Society's narrative of shame surrounding menstruation exacerbates the challenges faced by those with endometriosis.  It's crucial to challenge outdated solutions and reclaim ownership of our bodies and experiences. By speaking openly about our experiences, we can dismantle the shame and stigma surrounding menstruation and reproductive health.

Rather than relying solely on pharmaceuticals, Chelsea took a holistic approach to her treatment of epileptic seizures, which was essential for her recovery. We discuss how this holistic approach is what her brand, Looni, is built on. Looni blends science and spirit to bring balance to our hormones because newsflash, everyone has hormones!

Our periods should not be painful, and seeking help for symptoms is not a sign of weakness. Let’s continue to educate ourselves, advocate for better care, and support each other on our journeys toward menstrual health and empowerment.

You can become your own best advocate.
