    Did You Know You Have A Vaginal Microbiome? Dr. Jacques Ravel on Female Health Innovations

    Today’s episode is all about the vaginal microbiome, and I’m joined by Dr. Jacques Ravel, a leading expert in microbiology and immunology. Dr. Ravel has been deeply involved in research on the vaginal microbiome and co-chairs the Seed Health Scientific Advisory Board. We dive into the science behind Seed’s new VS-01™, a vaginal symbiotic probiotic that introduces Lactobacillus crispatus to promote a healthy vaginal environment. Dr. Ravel explains why vaginal acidity is key to preventing infections and how a balanced microbiome can help prevent common issues like bacterial vaginosis and UTIs. We also touch on how everyday practices like douching, lubricants, and even antibiotics can disrupt the delicate balance of the microbiome. Dr. Ravel also explains how supporting the vaginal microbiome during and after pregnancy can offer long-term benefits. I’m so grateful to Dr. Ravel for pioneering safer, more effective treatments for women’s health!

    The Truth About Seed Oils: Fighting the Root of Chronic Disease, Low Energy & Advanced Aging with Dr. Cate Shanahan

    Dr. Cate Shanahan’s groundbreaking work has inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live culture ferments, and seed-oil-free business empires. In this episode, I welcome Dr. Cate back on the podcast to chat about the latest research in her new book, Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back. We covered Seed Oils 101 in our last conversation (episode 210); so here, we take it even deeper, talking about seed oil’s connection to cellular damage, uncontrollable hunger, blood sugar instability, and gut inflammation. We also address headlines stating that the ketogenic diet is just as good as a high-carbohydrate diet for managing diabetes. Dr. Cate explains how to replete our cells and fuel our mitochondria, cut through the anti-inflammatory diet noise and learn what foods to prioritize to fight oxidative stress and get more energy to our cells. We also learn how to build meals that prevent energy dips and debunk myths about snacking and fasting. By taking this science seriously and making informed dietary choices, we can improve our health and the health of our families. Our wellbeing is worth the effort!

    Menopause & The Brain: New Breakthroughs in Women’s Health with Dr. Lisa Mosconi

    Women's brain health remains one of the most under researched, underdiagnosed, and undertreated fields of medicine – and someone needs to fix it. Enter today’s brilliant guest, Dr. Lisa Mosconi. She is the director of the Women's Brain Initiative at the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital. In this conversation, we explore menopause's effect on the body, brain, and hormones. Dr. Mosconi expertly clarifies what menopause is and isn't with a strong focus on the impact of menopause on brain health, cognitive health, and mental health. Dr. Mosconi walks us through the map of our reproductive health from pre to post menopause, highlighting hallmark signs and symptoms of transitions from each phase to the next. She shares why the old clinical ways of looking at menopause aren’t effective, and introduces new science and technology that allows women to have more knowledge around how menopause affects the brain. Dr. Mosconi explains the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy, surgical menopause and also provides non-hormonal, lifestyle advice for managing the symptoms of menopause. It is my dream for everyone to be as healthy as possible, equipped with the knowledge necessary to make empowered, informed decisions about living their best lives. I'm deeply grateful to Dr. Lisa Mosconi for generously sharing her expertise with us, enabling women to navigate menopause with ease and understanding.
