  • yeast, BV, and the itchy smelly things we don’t talk about
    Aug 5 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode of the Stellar Cycles Podcast, we tackle those "itchy" and often taboo topics surrounding women's health that many shy away from discussing. We'll deconstruct the myths that these are "dirty" conditions and should be kept quiet. There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding around these issues, so my goal is to shed light on the differences between these conditions, their origins, and how we can heal and prevent them.

    As these issues affect the majority of women, it’s time we stop shaming each other and start talking openly. The truth is, the vagina is a sensitive area, making women more prone to certain conditions than men. But don't worry—there's plenty to learn that can make managing these issues easier.

    Please note that this episode is based on my own experiences and research. Always seek the advice and treatment of your doctor for any medical conditions.
