Wellness: Fact vs. Fiction

Peeing After Sex, Seed Cycling & The Swizzle Stick - Should You...?


Listen Later

Join Dr. Danielle Belardo and her expert of the week, OB/GYN, pain medicine physician and best-selling author, Dr. Jen Gunter for a debunking episode about women’s health. Jen has been called Twitter’s resident gynecologist and the internet’s OB/GYN and knows a thing or two about the misinformation rabbit hole nearly becoming victim to medical lies herself after her own child’s diagnosis. Jen and Danielle are on a mission to fix the medical internet and demystify women’s health by sharing the facts backed by science. 

 

Jen Gunter is the author of The NY Times instant best sellers The Vagina Bible and The Menopause Manifesto. She is board-certified in OB/GYN in both Canada and the United States, and in pain medicine by the American Board of Pain Medicine and by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Her blog, The Vajenda, is packed full of bias-free content about sex, social media and science with a healthy dose of humor and feminism.  

 

Myths and misconceptions discussed include: 

 

  • Peeing after sex, UTIs and yeast infections  
  • Feminine products including the swizzle stick, wipes, and organic tampons 
  • PCOS, seed cycling and birth control pills  
  • Vaccines and infertility  
  •
