Your Unblushing Foray Into Women's Sexual Health
Women’s sexual health deserves straight answers, minus the shame and side-eye. In this episode, we get clear on what’s normal, what’s treatable and what actually helps you feel comfortable and confident in your body.

🌟 Everything We’re Covering:

  • OB/Gyn vs. Uro/Gyn vs. Functional Medicine: who is responsible for what & and how the functional medicine approach connects hormones, lifestyle and outcomes.
  • Pelvic Floor 101: what it is, how it works, and why it matters for leaks, pleasure, and support.
  • Common Concerns, Real Causes: incontinence, UTIs, odor/BV, discharge, yeast infections, low libido and difficulty reaching orgasm.
  • Vaginal Atrophy: what drives it (estrogen decline, time, stress) and what actually helps.
  • Treatments That Move the Needle: O-Shot/PRP, diVa/Ariessence, vaginal estrogen, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), prescriptions, probiotics, cranberry and when to use each.
  • Hormones & Gut Health: why estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and your microbiome shape symptoms.
  • Kegel Exercises: what they are, when they help and when you need PT instead.
  • Childbirth & Recovery: what changes, what you can do before pregnancy and how to heal afterward.


The Labiaplasty Deep Dive With Dr. Donaldson:
We go deep on what labiaplasty surgery is, who it actually helps and how Dr. Donaldson is able to perform it comfortably in an office vs. having to go to a surgery center. He breaks down our signature wedge technique and how it differs from a trim and what recovery really looks like, including realistic timelines for walking, workouts, tampon use and, of course, sex.

Trends That We Debunk (& Some We Embrace):
✔ Vaginal steaming
✔ Jade eggs/balls
✔ “Private part" deodorants
✔ Refreshing wipes
✔ Toy hygiene
✔ Good lube & bad lube
