Summary

182: VAGINAL HEALTH IS LINKED TO FERTILITY?! This is just one topic we discuss in today’s episode with Ara Katz. Our conversation covers an array of topics all related to female health, gut health, and our multiple microbiomes. This is certainly an episode for all the ladies and is a topic many shy away from due to embarrassment…but it needs to be discussed more so women can get the right information and care for their health in a more educated manner.  Topics Discussed: → The vaginal microbiome → The gut microbiome → How each microbiome is different  → Why we need different probiotics for our gut vs. our vag. → Health effects associated with poor vaginal health → Signs to look for if you have a poor microbiome  → Ways to replenish your gut microbiome and vaginal microbiome → Why sometimes we may experience adverse effects when taking a probiotic → If our microbiome stops developing at a certain age → Reasons women today are needing more gut and vaginal support than our ancestors → If taking too many probiotics can be harmful → Children's probiotics  As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By: → Our Place | Go to https://fromourplace.com/  and use code: digest for 10% off  → LMNT | Get your FREE sample pack with any LMNT purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/DIGEST → Fatty15 | For 15% off the starter kit go to https://fatty15.com/digest Check Out Seed: → Go to https://seed.com/digest and use code 25digest for 25% off → Instagram  Check Out Bethany: → Bethany’s Instagram: @lilsipper → Bethany’s Website → My Digestive Support Protein Powder → Gut Reset Book  → Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds) Learn more about your ad choices.

As a woman, I can tell you you would not want to live the way our ancestors lives.

0:04.0

I don't think majority of women would want childbirth the way our ancestors had them,

0:09.0

and nor would we be okay with the maternal death rates.

0:13.0

So I think what we can't do is pick out things in history and idealize them without context.

0:23.1

This episode is mostly for the ladies, because we are not only talking about the gut microbiome,

0:29.7

but also our vaginal microbiome, which is not talked about enough in today's world,

0:34.9

as vaginal health is something many just steer clear of and don't

0:40.1

even really know that we need to be talking about it, honestly. But our vaginal microbiome can

I'm so excited to have you listen to the conversation I just had with ARA Katz, who

1:30.1

noise from all the confusion around gut health and vaginal health, this is the episode to listen to.

1:36.8

Or perhaps you know someone suffering, but not sure how to talk to them about it. You can simply

1:43.3

just share this episode with them and let this

1:46.5

podcast do the work so you don't have to. It's such a great resource that you'll want to save

1:52.7

in your arsenal. So let's get right into it. And you guys know this already, but you're listening
