Introducing Eat your way to better gynecological health | Dr. Jennifer Ashton & Prof. Sarah Berry from ZOE Science & Nutrition.

Follow the show: ZOE Science & Nutrition

A good gynecologist is like a detective. She gathers evidence to diagnose infections. She uncovers the truth behind stages like puberty, pregnancy and perimenopause. Yet many women still feel that their physiology is a mystery. 

What if a clue to that mystery hides in our diet? Similar to the gut, certain foods make the vaginal microbiome thrive. New research suggests that the right diet could alleviate symptoms of the most common gynecological diseases.

Dr Jennifer Ashton is former Chief Medical Correspondent at ABC News and is a double-board certified OBGYN. She joins us today to discuss ‘nutritional gynecology’, a term she coined after realizing multiple women’s health issues have a direct relationship to nutrition.

Alongside Jen is King’s College London professor and ZOE’s Chief Scientist Sarah Berry. Sarah shines light on the growing evidence of the role of nutrition in offsetting uncomfortable, and sometimes dangerous, symptoms of menopause.

Dr. Dan interviews the astonishing activist, author, TEDx speaker, and social entrepreneur Ann Medlock. An editor, speaker, educator and Founder of the Giraffe Heroes Project, Ann lives fully every single day grounding herself in Ram Daas’ “be here now”  and does so in her signature constantly moving pace. Ann and Dan discuss living with courage, listening to “the force” (#StarWars), embracing flow state, and as Gloria Steinam said about her poetry “...turning poetry into real life, and real life into poetry."  

This lively, alive conversation reminds us that we have a finite time in this world so let’s embrace all there is to see, do, and learn. Ann tells us to live fearlessly and intentionally at 20, 30, 50, 70, or almost 92 (like Ann) and always “do the next right thing.”
