In this episode of Wellness Junkies, we dive deep into the often-taboo topics surrounding women's health with our special guest, Dr. C, also known as The Vag Doc. With over 16 years of experience as a board-certified OB-GYN, Dr. C has made a name for herself on social media by breaking down complex issues related to gynecology (from periods to menopause) with clarity, compassion, and a touch of humor. The conversation kicks off with Dr. C sharing her journey into social media, highlighting the lack of open discussions about gynecology and midlife women's health. She emphasizes the importance of empowering women to ask questions about their bodies, especially during the often confusing transitions of perimenopause and menopause. Dr. C treats us to a wealth of information as she answers common questions about IUDs, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the changes women experience during menopause. She explains the benefits of keeping an IUD during midlife, the importance of estrogen for vaginal health, and how to navigate hormone levels effectively. The episode also touches on the significance of pelvic floor therapy, and encourages women to seek help and not to feel embarrassed about their health concerns, reinforcing that there is no shame in asking questions. As the episode wraps up, Amy and Melissa engage in a fun myth or fact segment, tackling common misconceptions about women's health, including the impact of wearing leggings on yeast infections. Join us for this enlightening and entertaining episode as we break down barriers and foster a community where women's health is discussed openly and honestly. Whether you're navigating menopause, considering an IUD, or simply seeking to understand your body better, this episode is packed with valuable information and insights from a trusted expert in the field.
