    307. Did You Know You Have A Vaginal Microbiome? Dr. Jacques Ravel on Female Health Innovations

    Today’s episode is all about the vaginal microbiome, and I’m joined by Dr. Jacques Ravel, a leading expert in microbiology and immunology.

    Dr. Ravel explains why vaginal acidity is key to preventing infections and how a balanced microbiome can help prevent common issues like bacterial vaginosis and UTIs. We also touch on how everyday practices like douching, lubricants, and even antibiotics can disrupt the delicate balance of the microbiome. Dr. Ravel also explains how supporting the vaginal microbiome during and after pregnancy can offer long-term benefits. I’m so grateful to Dr. Ravel for pioneering safer, more effective treatments for women’s health!
