Family Life With Herpes | Parenting Fears, HSV1, HSV2, Fever Blisters, Outbreak Prevention & Natural Treatment Options

A riveting and eye-opening chat with Alexandra Harbushka, the founder of Life With Herpes. Join us as we break the taboos of herpes, discuss some interesting statistics, and shed light on the myths around this virus.

We also dive deep into natural cures and breakout prevention techniques.

Alexandra’s life was sent into upheaval when she received a call from her doctor diagnosing her with herpes. Shaking, feeling like her life - her goals, happiness, and desires - had all just gone up in smoke, she was left scared shitless and with a new mission, to share her story with people just like her and to let them know that their feelings are normal, natural and that they are not victims. With that mission in mind, she founded Life With Herpes, an online community consisting of a podcast, a website, a Youtube channel, wellness products to support the skin condition, and an online community that provides support, all dedicated to shattering the stigma of living with herpes.
