In this episode, I chat with Adrienne, a vaginal health nutritionist, about how nutrition can support vaginal health and prevent infections. Adrienne shares her personal journey of overcoming recurring vaginal infections through simple dietary changes and how gut health is closely tied to vaginal wellness.

We cover:

  • The impact of diet on yeast infections, BV, and UTIs
  • Why cutting sugar and avoiding inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy is crucial
  • How a whole foods diet can help prevent recurring infections
  • The importance of maintaining gut health during and after antibiotic treatments
  • Managing herpes through nutrition, reducing inflammation, and boosting immunity
  • Breaking the stigma around vaginal health with open conversations and community support

    • Key Takeaways:

  • Diet plays a major role in preventing yeast infections, BV, and UTIs.
  • Reducing sugar and inflammatory foods can help improve vaginal health.
  • Gut health is key during and after antibiotic use for infections.
  • Proper nutrition helps manage herpes and strengthen the immune system.

    • Open communication and community support reduce the shame surrounding vaginal health.

    FACTS ABOUT HERPES:
    - 80% of Australia's have herpes (HSV 1 or HSV 2)
    - 12% of Australian's have genital herpes (HSV 2)
    - You do not legally have to disclose that have herpes (but ethically & morally its the right thing to do)
    - Herpes is in the same family as chicken pox
    'To be infected with a herpes virus is therefore a state of normality, not an abnormality. It happens to all adults, some of us with symptoms and some without'
