After having several chats, and getting several emails via peter@healthypostnatalbody.com asking about vaginal health this month I wanted to bring you this interview I did with Beth DuPriest PhD

Vaginal health expert Dr. Beth DuPriest, is the Chief Science Officer at Vaginal Biome Science

Dr. DuPriest is a former Professor of Biology and Division Dean and has been involved in research related to developmental origins of health and disease for over twenty years.

Her PhD in Integrated Biomedical Sciences through the Dept. of Physiology & Pharmacology and post doctoral work through the Dept. of Pathology were completed at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Her work has been focused on both women’s and maternal health.

She has taught courses in microbiology, eukaryotic cell biology, genetics, biochemistry and pathophysiology among many others. She brings a broad background in women’s health and biological science and strong leadership and collaborative skills to advancing the work and discovery of vaginal microbiome science.

Beth has spent over a decade researching and teaching about women’s vaginal and maternal health, now running clinical studies to test how improving the vaginal microbiome can improve a wide variety of vulvovaginal conditions

We are talking everything to do with vaginal health.

Why vaginal health matters much more than people think it does.
Whether you should use special soap or not
How taking care of your vaginal area improves your overall health, and the possible consequences of not taking care of it.
The vaginal biome.
UTI infections and how the vaginal biome ties in with this.
How much of a shame it is that women's health is soo ridiculously underfunded and the massive impact that has on women's health overall.

And much, MUCH, more

This is one of the most enjoyable, and informative, chats I've had in a long time and it'd be a shame to miss it!

I made the mistake of searching "diastasis recti" in my social media feed on Threads this week and boy-oh-boy..did I come across some nonsense.

So that's what I'm doing today, another "mythbusting" episode.

Can you heal within 28 days by doing only 4 exercises?

Is breathing useless?

Why do people use meaningless jargon?

Do posture and alignment REALLY mean as much as "they" say?

And why high-protein diets are not required for postpartum recovery.

And so much more.

Playing us out this week; "Sky Walker" by Grace McCoy

As I'm still ridiculously busy with the upcoming exciting thing I can't yet talk about ;)

This week I bring you the conversation I had with nutritional therapist Kirsten Chick a few years ago.

Not only is Kirsten a nutritional therapist, She's a public speaker, educator, podcast host of not one but TWO podcasts and author of "Nutrition brought to life". In other words, she's incredibly knowledgable about all things food related.

We spent a solid hour talking about the effects of stress, and diet, on the human body.

We talk about the physical effects of stress on the human body, including on digestion and weightmanagement.
Whether food can cause an increase in the levels of stress.
Which foods help with stress-management and which nutrients to look out for, and what they do.
The benefit of taking 10-15 minutes screenbreaks, and other time-outs, every day.
Why eating whilst working is not the same as eating whilst stepping away from the computer.
The benefit of eating a bit more slowly.

And many, MANY other things.

It's a fascinating chat with tonnes of wisdom and advice for all of us but especially powerful for women with young children. After all, stress-management can have such a huge impact on the health and happiness of you, and those around you, and Kirsten gives you a LOT of "easy to follow and implement" bits of information.

You can find Kirsten's "Nutrition brought to life" on Amazon and Waterstone's.
You can listen to the Nutrition Brought to Life podcast here.
Her currently active podcast (IHCAN) can be found here
Of course Kirsten is on Instagram, YouTube , and Facebook.
