73: Clitoral Vibration as Healthcare Not Just Pleasure with Natalia Banton

Episode Overview Natalia, founder of Dott, joins the podcast to discuss why clitoral vibration should be considered healthcare for menopause—not just pleasure. As an industrial designer who experienced Premature Ovarian Insufficiency in her thirties, Natalia breaks down the physiology of estrogen loss, decreased blood flow to pelvic tissues, and how vibration therapy supports tissue health, natural lubrication, and nervous system regulation during hormonal transitions. What You'll Learn Why blood flow to your vulva and vagina decreases during perimenopause and menopause—and what that means for tissue healthHow vibration therapy prevents the thinning, dryness, and sensitivity loss that many people accept as "normal aging"The three-phase ritual (regulate, release, restore) and why nervous system regulation comes before addressing the vulvaThe difference between using vibration therapy preventatively versus therapeutically once symptoms have startedWhy standards matter in the intimate wellness industry—and what Health Canada licensing actually means Guest Bio Natalia is an industrial designer and founder of Dott, a Health Canada licensed intimate wellness company focused on perimenopause and menopause care. After watching her mother suffer through menopause in silence and experiencing Premature Ovarian Insufficiency herself in her thirties (which led to bone density loss before diagnosis), she founded Dott to treat vibration therapy as real healthcare for women's bodies. She designs tools and education that support hormone balance, pelvic floor health, nervous system regulation, and sexual comfort during hormonal change. Natalia collaborates with menopause clinics and pelvic floor therapists to integrate evidence-based vibration therapy into treatment protocols.
