I moved to 50 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,279 Speaker 3: the city in twenty twelve and I was thinking about entertainment. 51 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 3: One of my passions is cooking, and I went to 52 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: the French Culinary Institute. 53 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: I saw that first moved to New York, and I 54 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 4: was creating a lot of food and cooking content at 55 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 4: the time, and throughout that journey. 56 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 3: I started to become more interested in nutrition. My program 57 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: was classic French plus farm to table and we spent 58 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: time with Dan Barber, you know, up at Blue Hill 59 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: and like really got hands on. 60 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: Which was incredibly exciting. 61 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: But I started to learn about the difference in food 62 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: quality based on where it's grown, how it's grown, and 63 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: that you know, different quality of food has different nutrients 64 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 3: in that food. And I started to feel unwell in 65 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 3: that period of time. 66 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: I started to. 67 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: Get anxious, depressed, got health issues, intimate health issues, you know, 68 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 3: everything that the brand focuses on, you know, helping women 69 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: find balance in today. 70 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: And I started to go to the doctor over and 71 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: over and over again. 72 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: If anything, I love to solve problems, any kind a problem, 73 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 3: big or small. And I started to ask why, Like 74 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 3: why is it that the products at the drug store 75 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: don't work for me? Why is this ingredient list so 76 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: confusing and then horrific when I go to google it? 77 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 3: Why have none of the products that have been sold 78 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: to me for years been developed, you know, with scientific 79 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: backing or based on actual research of women's bodies. Why 80 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 3: were they developed decades ago and they've just been sitting 81 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: on the shelf. And so ultimately I discovered, after eighteen 82 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: months of self advocacy, going to different doctors, finally my 83 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: GP was like, Okay, I'll run a blood panel. 84 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: Eighteen on. 85 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: That's so ridiculous to me. It's so frustrating because if 86 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: I were a doctor, if I didn't just play one 87 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: on TV, which I never actually have, I would that 88 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: be the first thing I would want to know. 89 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: That'd be the first. 90 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: Thing, right, So, eighteen months of set back because they've 91 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: finally got to me to a blood panel, and it 92 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 3: was revealed to me that I was dealing with some 93 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 3: very significant fviting deficiencies. And I think back then this 94 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: was twenty fifteen you're like, vitamin deficiencies in America what 95 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: And now it much has revealed itself, you know, on 96 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: why our health is in a state that it's in. 97 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 3: But back then it was still very. 98 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: New to be talking about these things. 99 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 3: And for me, I at least had a starting point 100 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: of why I was unwell. Vitamin deficiencies can come from 101 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 3: gut health issues. If you have got health issue, can 102 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: be harder to absorb nutrients from food, and vitamin deficion 103 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: these can cause some of the things I talked about, 104 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: in addition to gut health, kind of being the master 105 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 3: microbiome and really affecting your mental health, vaginal health, et cetera. 106 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: And like I said, I at least. 107 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 3: Had a starting point and I was able to kind 108 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: of create my thesis behind love wellness at that point 109 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: in time, that ingredients really matter whether they go in 110 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: your body or on your body. And from there I 111 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: launched a company and yeah, I started talking about vaginal 112 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 3: health on Instagram, which like blew people. 113 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: Minds in twenty sixteen. You should think a friend, it 114 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: was wild, Oh. 115 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: My god, it's so true. I even saw one of 116 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: your old castmates, I think Spencer is his name. He 117 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: was like saying things like why am I learning about 118 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: her problems? It was so ridiculous, but you handled that 119 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: so beautifully. You really shut him down, and I loved it. 120 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: You know, I think my experience on reality TV, probably 121 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: just like your experience on television, has given you pretty 122 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: thick skin. And being in the media and public guide 123 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: to a certain degree. Since you know, I'm eighteen years old, 124 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: you learn a lot about how to handle confrontation and 125 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: how to manage yourself in a situation like that. And 126 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: it could have gone like a very different way. But 127 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 3: the reality is, like, brand awareness is brand awareness, and 128 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: I realized that some of our brand content is going 129 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: to land in the eyeballs, like land in front of 130 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: the eyeballs of the wrong audience, people who are not 131 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: our consumer, because that's just how the Internet works. 132 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: And that's okay, you know what I mean. 133 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: Eyeballs are eyeballs as long as I'm concerned. 134 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 3: Eyeballs are eyeballs, and it's it's okay, it's not a 135 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: big deal. Plenty of people have made fun of me, 136 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: and the reality is, at this point in time, like 137 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter. 138 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, look at how much success. 139 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, the women that we serve are the people that matter. 140 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: So everyone has problems, whether they talk about them or not, 141 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: and you know, if we can help you, then that's fantastic. 142 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: And that was really the point of what we do, right. 143 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: I think that we feel that we've really. 144 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: Changed the conversation around women's health since I started talking 145 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: about different health issues, you know, almost a decade ago. 146 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: Now, almost a decade ago. Can you believe that? 147 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. 148 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 3: My life was so different almost ten years ago. It 149 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 3: was so different. 150 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I can imagine what a journey though in 151 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: the last ten years you have taken, and yeah, a successful, independent, 152 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: self motivated trajectory. I love it. It's so inspiring. And 153 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: when you were, like in twenty sixteen when you said 154 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: you starting the brand love Wellness, I mean, how many 155 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: times did you probably try to tell people about this 156 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: idea and they were like, hello, vaginal health. Really? 157 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: You know, it was interesting. I can be pretty. 158 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: Like single minded when it comes to something, and I 159 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 3: felt really confident about my mission. And when I started 160 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: the business, I always I was also paving the way 161 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: for the next chapter of my life. And if this 162 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: business idea hadn't worked, I think it probably would have 163 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 3: continued down the road in consumer you know, focused on 164 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: you know, beauty, wellness, things that I really care about 165 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 3: and am passionate about to make the next chapter of 166 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: my life happen, because you know, it was a time 167 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 3: where The Hills had been off the air for a 168 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: couple of years. I didn't really know what was next 169 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 3: for me. I knew that being like solely an individual 170 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: working in the entertainment industry was not particularly comfortable for me, 171 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: and like, I'm comfortable being known and like a public 172 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 3: figure to a certain degree. Now I think you have 173 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 3: to get used to that, right Pandora's box, you can't ever. 174 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 2: Close it again. 175 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 3: And I just knew that I didn't want to be 176 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 3: an actress around reality shows like because for me, I 177 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 3: was uncomfortable living paycheck to paycheck in that way. And 178 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: I think that unless you're an actress with a really 179 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 3: steady job and like, you know, like nothing is promised. 180 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 3: And for me, it was really challenging to be in 181 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 3: the influencer economy and be like, I've only made enough 182 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 3: money to live for the next two and a half months, 183 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 3: and I. 184 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: Don't know where my next paycheck is coming from. 185 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 3: And so for me, I was really through my business, 186 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 3: trying to create stability for myself and like a different. 187 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: Way of living. 188 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: And you know, I just I just was more comfortable, 189 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 3: you know, like on this you know, adjacent path. 190 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: No, it's it actually really resonates with me because I 191 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: have been there too. I feel like, you know, you 192 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: look at your life and you look at what you 193 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: have ahead of you hopefully, and you think, how am 194 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: I going to get there? How am I going to 195 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: do this? And you know that security is really important 196 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: when you are following your gut and doing what you 197 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: want to do rather than what you have to do 198 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: to pay the bills, you know. So it's so cool 199 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: to turn what you want into giving you the how 200 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: and the why, you know what I mean? Like that 201 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: you're able to do that? 202 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. I think you know something I always struggled with, 203 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: even when I was on the hills and on Laguna, 204 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: is that entertainment. You have to be picked, right If 205 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: you want a job, you have to be picked for. 206 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: That's so fun, isn't it so fun? 207 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 3: And there's not a lot of like personal merit. You know, 208 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 3: smart's ability they can get you that job. 209 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: You have to be picked. You have to be a 210 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 2: good actress, but you. 211 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 3: Have to be picked. And I think in reality TV, 212 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 3: if you are not willing to put it all out 213 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 3: there and sacrifice yourself for the show, for the network, 214 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 3: you're not going to get picked. And for me, like 215 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: my dabbling with that, my experimenting with that, like I 216 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: expired very quickly from that POV I just was like, 217 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 3: I don't want. 218 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: To do this. It makes me so uncomfortable. 219 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 3: But again, like Pandora's Box, I had an audience and 220 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 3: I felt like I could help that audience as I 221 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: moved into the next chapter of my life by just 222 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 3: talking about what I was dealing with and doing my 223 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: best to put solutions out there. So the first two 224 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 3: three years of Love Wellness, I was a solo founder 225 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 3: and operator. I worked with our medical advisors and our manufacturers, 226 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 3: food scientists, you know the experts who basically create products 227 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 3: with you and bring them to life. But I was 228 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: a solo founder operator for the first two and a 229 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 3: half three years until I really started to realize that 230 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: like this had legs, And it was then that I 231 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 3: started bringing on a team, and very shortly thereafter we 232 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: launched an alta. Then we launched a target amazing all 233 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 3: of these different channels. 234 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: Okay, first of all, when you were doing that, when 235 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: you were a solo was a solo venture or three times, 236 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: when you were like what am I doing? What have 237 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: I gotten? My like I don't even belong in this space. 238 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: You have that kind of self doubt or like sometimes 239 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: they call it imposter syndrome. 240 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: Now, honestly not really. I think when I started the company, 241 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 3: it was big time for entrepreneurs and consumer LEDs like startups. 242 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: You know, everyone was starting a company Casper, Glossy, Egches, 243 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 3: but you know, all of these brands, and I thought, 244 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 3: I'm smart enough, like I can figure this out for 245 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: me again, problem solving, Like I love to problem solve. 246 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 3: Be a problem, it does not freak me out.

Do you think like you talked about the 263 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: thickening of your skin do you in reality TV? Do 264 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: you think that helped you in founding your own business 265 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: or did it like discourage people from taking you seriously? 266 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: Like you know, what were you up against in that respect? 267 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: A double sided coin. 268 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 3: Certainly, the first few years of my business, I think 269 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 3: there was like a quiet audience that was like, oh 270 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 3: my god, solutions for my problems because the business was 271 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: profitable kind of at game. 272 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: But media, like media and social media, I think, question the. 273 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 3: Validity of the need for these types of products. And 274 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 3: I think in general people were like, oh, like feminine care, 275 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 3: that's like not that feminist. 276 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: But the reality is is that in these bodies. 277 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 3: We have problems and we deserve to have clean, effective 278 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 3: solutions that are science fact that actually work. And I 279 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: try to explain to people that have not had a 280 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: vactional health issue and they think that these types of 281 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 3: products are irrelevant and misogynistic or whatever, and it's like, well, 282 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 3: you haven't had that experience, and so how can you 283 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 3: even like form an opinion about it, right, do. 284 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: You even have vagina? 285 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, But it's like just because you haven't experienced it 286 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 3: and you don't think it's important, like that invalidates the 287 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 3: experience of other women who maybe are not brave enough 288 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 3: to talk about this, right, because I think I understood 289 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: through the growth of the business that there certainly were 290 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: a lot of women who were silently suffering. So I 291 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: think the media and people in social media were like, 292 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 3: what the hell. But a lot of people, I think, 293 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 3: really her me through my storytelling and they saw themselves 294 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 3: in me. And if you look at all of our 295 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 3: reviews since day one, everyone is telling their story. 296 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: Right. 297 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: I told my story and they felt compelled to share 298 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 3: their story in return, and how much our products actually 299 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 3: helped them. And I think now the women's woman's category, 300 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 3: we sort of like gave birth. 301 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 5: To it perfect and now that category, like the feminine 302 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 5: care isle, the beautyisle, looks totally different than it did 303 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 5: a decade ago because. 304 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 2: All of this new innovation, Yeah, does help women's bodies. 305 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean just women's health in general is starting to, 306 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: you know, get the money and attention that it needs, 307 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: the funding that it's always deserved. So now is the time. 308 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: But you, yeah, you started early, you had the baby 309 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: when you were young. 310 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 3: You know. I was like, personally, I have really sensitive skin, 311 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 3: I've a really sensitive body. 312 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 2: But I was like, I want to. 313 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 3: Feel confident in my body, and you know, the right 314 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 3: things aren't out there. You know, all of these doctors 315 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 3: have told me it's because all of these ingredients are 316 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 3: in these products. So my gosh, why can't I create 317 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 3: products in a different way? 318 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. And you were having these problems, and 319 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: so I'm sure you thought like, there must be other 320 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: women that are having these same problems, and this is 321 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: why I need to do this. 322 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: Yes, back then it was I didn't know how to 323 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 3: like do consumer research back then. 324 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: Now I do. 325 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: A learning curve, a learning curve, a learning. 326 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 3: Curve, right, But I just I felt really passionate about it, 327 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 3: and I felt like I wanted to make things that 328 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 3: could empower women. And these things in some way, shape 329 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 3: or form had helped me in my own life, right, 330 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 3: but they weren't necessarily mainstream. And so yeah, I mean 331 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 3: like I wasn't taken seriously at first, but now the 332 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: story is very different. I think if you tell your 333 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 3: authentic story for long enough and it's real and the 334 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 3: things that you make work. Then eventually the people that 335 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: they used to laugh at you see you at Walmart 336 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, I used to make fun of 337 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 3: that girl, but I can't anymore. 338 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's that's so good. 339 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 2: I still can It's you know they still do, but 340 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 2: they still can't. 341 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: But who's laughing now? Is the thing. So you've really 342 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: been brave, like you were saying and sharing your authentic stories. 343 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: You've been documenting and sharing about your endometriosis diagnosis, and 344 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: I would love for you to sort of share with 345 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: our audience. How did you find out that you had 346 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: endometriosis and were you like suffering for years without even 347 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: knowing what it was? 348 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 3: Yes, So it turns out I was and I wasn't 349 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 3: ever able to like look at my matrix of symptoms. 350 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 3: I mean, no doctor either be. 351 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 2: Like it's this right. 352 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 3: So the thing about endometriosis, the stats say one in 353 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: ten habit doctors believe it's way higher. But there's no 354 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 3: real test for endometriosis. You have to have surgery to 355 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 3: open you up to get a visual confirmation for a dice. 356 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 3: Why because the technology doesn't exist there are some things 357 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 3: that you know are happening in the research world from 358 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 3: an ENDO perspective, that hopefully will change that down the road, 359 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 3: But right now there's no true test that just blood 360 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: tests or they can be like, you have enometriosis. And 361 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 3: what's challenging about and know is that it's a chronic 362 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 3: inflammatory disease. So there is no cure for ENDO, and 363 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 3: there is no good test for ENDO except like literally 364 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: a surgeon being like, yep, she's got it. 365 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: How do they wait? 366 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: Wait? 367 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: Wait, how do they when they look in there? How 368 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: do they know? 369 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 3: So endometriosis presents visually as like little dots, little things 370 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 3: like in your u like on your uterus, on your ovaries, 371 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 3: in your pelviskay, So visually you can see it typically 372 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 3: and it looks different. It can look like kind of 373 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 3: stringy like spider webby white, or it can be like 374 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: little tiny black dots kind of all together, and it 375 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 3: is uterine cells that have escaped and are like growing outside. 376 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 2: Of the uterus, and they don't know quite like how 377 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: that happens. 378 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 3: So anyway, I started like my own fertility journey and 379 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 3: it connects. I swear when I was thirty three, I 380 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 3: did my first egger tree bowl because I was like 381 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 3: single in the middle of my thirties and I thought, well, 382 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 3: I better do this because I don't want to have children. 383 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 3: So I did my first type retrieval. My amh was 384 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 3: well like it was a fine retrieval. I did another 385 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: one at thirty five it was worse, and when I 386 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 3: met my fiancee, we were like, we better go see 387 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 3: the doctor and just to do a check up and 388 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 3: see how things are going, because we would like to 389 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 3: have a family together. And the doctor said, before we 390 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 3: go any further, I would like to just run some 391 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 3: tests to see if there's anything in your makeup that 392 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 3: maybe would be preventative for you, like preventing you from 393 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 3: getting pregnant, or how do you be and you know, 394 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 3: so she checked for like lupus and like all these things, 395 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 3: doing blood work. But then there is a biopsy you 396 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 3: can do, a uterine biopsy. It is so painful. It's 397 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 3: called the receptive of biopsy, and they basically. 398 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 2: Put a thing into your uterus while you're awake under 399 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 2: no oh my god pain relief. You're awake, and they 400 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 2: like scoop out a little bit of your uterus, okay, 401 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 2: and if the uterine. 402 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 3: Cells show any inflammation, it suggests that you might have endometriosis, 403 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 3: because again endo is an inflammatory disease. 404 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: So again it's not. 405 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 3: A conformation of endometriosis. It says, yes, your uterine cells 406 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 3: are inflamed or no they are not. And mine came 407 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 3: back as very inflamed, and so the doctor said, you 408 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 3: probably have endometriosis, and if you want to have children, 409 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 3: this needs. 410 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 2: To be addressed. 411 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 3: One of the good things about endometriosis at this point 412 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: in time is that you can have excision surgery, which 413 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 3: is part of the opening you up and taking. 414 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: A peek right right, same surgery. 415 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: Same surgery they plan to do, you know, a visual 416 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: track and if. 417 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 2: It's there, they will take it out. 418 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 3: Okay, And along with that they might take out cybroids 419 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 3: or things like that, other you know, sort of like 420 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 3: benign gross that may impede your ability to have a baby. 421 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 3: So my surgery was in February of this year and 422 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 3: gosh darn it, they opened me up and there it was. 423 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: Did they scoop it out? 424 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 3: They It's like they scooped it out. Thankfully, they scooped 425 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 3: it out. And so now I'm like still recovering and 426 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 3: moving forward. 427 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, how are you? How are you doing now? 428 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 3: I mean, so my surgeon, who is an excellent surgeon. 429 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 3: Also an issue is it's very hard to find an 430 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 3: endometriosis excision surgeon in this country. There's like a handful 431 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 3: of doctors that do this type of surgery, which is 432 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 3: typically gives you a better result than an ablation surgery 433 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 3: because I think where they burn stuff out, this is 434 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 3: them actually like cutting it out. I'm we'll have to 435 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 3: like do a little bit digger deeping because I didn't 436 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 3: have a blation surgery. 437 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: I had excision. 438 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 3: An excision is kind of the gold standard right now, 439 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 3: thinking about it, it takes me back to like a 440 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 3: time that i've I thought I was going to coast through, 441 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 3: but I really did. My surgeon was like, it's definitely 442 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 3: going to be fourteen days. 443 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: At home, okay. 444 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 3: And I was like, sir, what are you talking about? 445 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 3: This is before I knew that I really had it, 446 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: and like how advanced it was. And he was like, yeah, 447 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 3: like the typical recovery is like fourteen days minimum at home. 448 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: And you thought you would be quicker than that. 449 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 2: I thought I would conquer that. 450 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: And when I woke up from my surgery, I was 451 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,719 Speaker 3: in so much pain that I immediately knew that he 452 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 3: was right. And I immediately knew that he had found 453 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 3: what he was looking for and that I could just 454 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 3: tell it was worse than maybe what they thought, or 455 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 3: that my surgery was a bit more complicated than I 456 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 3: had anticipated. So they cut through my abdominal wall in 457 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 3: a few places, and some of them were really deep incisions, 458 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 3: like all the way through, and I could not sit 459 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 3: up on my own for two weeks, like my fiance 460 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 3: had to literally helped me sit up, help how to 461 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 3: help me roll over in bed, Like I was pretty 462 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 3: much ammobile for the first almost fourteen days. And the 463 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 3: reality is like my recovery took a lot longer than 464 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 3: fourteen days. I started to work again, but worked from 465 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 3: home after those two weeks, but the exhaustion was real. 466 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 3: The physical, the physical healing from the surgery was pretty remarkable. 467 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 3: Like I could not pee or go to the bathroom 468 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 3: without pain for a solid three months. 469 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 2: After the surgery. 470 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 3: Like even now was when I pee, I like feel 471 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 3: where they like got around my bladder and it's just 472 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 3: nerves still regrowing. 473 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 2: It's crazy, but like. 474 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 3: You just don't know, and you can like grow into 475 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 3: your bladder, can grow into your abdominal wall, can grow all. 476 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 2: Over the place. 477 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 3: And yeah, the surgery was was physically proper, but also emotionally, 478 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 3: I like, I haven't really told a lot of people, 479 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: told my close friends and family, and then my social 480 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 3: media following knew I had surgery because I was like, oh, 481 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 3: I had like pelvic abdominal surgery.

Do you believe in that, because it sounds 515 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: like that's what's happening for you. 516 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know if that's exactly what I 517 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 3: would call it, but you know, when I was younger, 518 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 3: I yearned so much for a relationship and for a partners. 519 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 2: I think a lot of us do. We're humans, and 520 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 2: that's just natural, right. 521 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 3: My background, I think on TV and then having a 522 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 3: company that was like going really well, really fast. I 523 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 3: think a lot of men would meet me and they 524 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 3: would want to meet me and date me for a 525 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 3: little bit, but they weren't like, oh my god, she's 526 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 3: more successful than I am. I can't I can't do this, 527 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 3: or she was on TV. 528 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: How do I take this person seriously? 529 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 3: But I think also I was like so focused on 530 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 3: being in a partnership at that time time or like dating, 531 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 3: that I probably was giving off the wrong energy, right 532 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 3: A lot of people who want a boyfriend or a girlfriend, 533 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 3: you give off the wrong energy. And everybody does that 534 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: at periods of their life. And it was through my 535 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 3: mid third is that I really got comfortable being on 536 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 3: my own. 537 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 2: And I knew for years. 538 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 3: I was like, I have to be comfortable on my own. 539 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 3: I have to be comfortable on my own. And I 540 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 3: didn't like say, before I meet the right person. I 541 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 3: just thought, I have to be comfortable on my own 542 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: because maybe it doesn't happen for everybody. 543 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 2: And I think being in New York, living in New 544 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 2: York City changes the game a little bit too. 545 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 3: I have fifteen women that are the ages of thirty 546 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 3: five to forty that are so incredible and they're all single. 547 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, is it hard? It is that men, it's a. 548 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 3: Very tough city to meet people because you can go 549 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 3: to this bar and twenty minutes later be here and 550 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: here and here, and everyone is accomplished and everyone is 551 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 3: beautiful and everyone is somebody, right, and so you can 552 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 3: really like take your pick to a certain degree. 553 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 2: And I think that dating apps don't have that. 554 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 3: It's the mindset of like it's never ending, and I yeah, yeah, 555 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 3: And so it's just a weird city. And it's also 556 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 3: very socially acceptable here to get engaged and married in 557 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 3: your late thirties, even in your forties, right, everybody does 558 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 3: that here. So I think I felt sort of like 559 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 3: odd man out outside of New York City, but not 560 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 3: necessarily in New York City, because understand that community was 561 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 3: like all single people all my age, and it wasn't 562 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 3: that weird, but your heart still yearns. 563 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: Right. 564 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 3: However, I had to really get actually comfortable with being 565 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 3: on my own, I think, before you could meet the 566 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 3: person who is supposed to be your person, right, because 567 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 3: you have to cure your own energy, You have to 568 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 3: cure how you present to people and present to the world, 569 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 3: and you want to be confident. You want to know 570 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 3: who you are, and you want to know what you want. 571 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:58,719 Speaker 2: In your life. 572 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 3: And until you know those things, I think you can 573 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 3: find a partner, but they may not be the right partner, 574 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 3: right because I. 575 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 2: Dated lots of men, you know what I mean. 576 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 3: But it wasn't until I was really confident with myself 577 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 3: and how my life was going that I felt really 578 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 3: good about how I would present to a potential partner. 579 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's You're so right. In my experience as well, 580 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't until I gave myself that opportunity to really 581 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: get comfortable in my own skin and enjoy being alone. 582 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: And you know, people always said you have to love 583 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: yourself before you can love others, yes, or something like that. 584 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: Isn't that the thing? 585 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 2: Like, yes, that's about right now. 586 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: Yes, there's something in there.

Even the 661 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 3: people from remember a few years ago, people were like, 662 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 3: you should throw out your underwear every like whatever, like 663 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 3: every six months, and like they're not necessarily wrong, but 664 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,959 Speaker 3: I think that that's like really goes to go going 665 00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,720 Speaker 3: above and beyond. 666 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: Oh that's not good, because I've had some of my 667 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 1: underwear for a really long time.

I 670 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 3: don't think that's a realistic practice. 671 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: Okay, this is going to be crazy and completely completely revealing. 672 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: But sometimes I have a house full of girls and we'll, 673 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, laundry will get mixed up, and then I 674 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: will find myself wearing their underwear and vice versa, and 675 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm just like too rushed to care, so I just 676 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: throw it on and off I go.

Clean Like, I don't know the answer. 682 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 3: I'm not a microbiologists, and I have not read the research. 683 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 1: On sharing underwear. 684 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 5: I don't know. 685 00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: Okay, how about wearing like tight workout legan or even 686 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: tight jeans all day long? Does that impact your vaginal 687 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: health negatively? 688 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 3: If you may be more susceptible to infection, then potentially yes, 689 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 3: but not necessarily so, Like you try to keep like 690 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 3: a dry environment down there and if you sit in 691 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 3: your sweat or in the pool and your wet bathing 692 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 3: suit for too long, it can like breed bacteria and 693 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 3: fungus and things like that. And so that's why, you know, 694 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 3: like when you get out of the pool, you want 695 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 3: to like rinse. 696 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 2: Off and switch and to dry clothes because you want 697 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 2: to get. 698 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 3: The chemicals from the pool off your body and off 699 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 3: your intimate skin. And you also don't want to be 700 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 3: sitting in a wet bathing suit because like that can 701 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 3: just breed and cause things to grow, right, like warmth 702 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 3: and wet thinks grow. 703 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that would not be good. 704 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 2: That would not be good. Things grow. 705 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: Okay, Wait have you heard about this? Because I hadn't 706 00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: ozebic vagina. 707 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 2: No, oh, I have not. What is that? 708 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: Okay? Apparently taking a semaglue tide can lead to an 709 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 1: imbalance in the vagina between the good and the bad bacteria. 710 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: The connection, you know, like the whole connection between the two, 711 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: because there is a connection. You know about that. 712 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know about the connection, but I have not 713 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 3: heard about ozempic vagina at all. So the idea is 714 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 3: that a GLP one may have an impact on the 715 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 3: gut microbiome which then can like indirectly affect the vaginal microbiome. 716 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, the bacteria, the bad bacteria increasing. 717 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 2: I mean, anything's possible, my lady. This is the first 718 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 2: time I've heard about this. 719 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 1: I was like, what O zembic vagina, But. 720 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 3: I haven't I haven't heard about that specifically. But if 721 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 3: it does negatively affect your gut microbiome, I mean, yeah, 722 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,479 Speaker 3: like you could come to the conclusion that it may 723 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 3: negatively affect vaginal health. 724 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, if you're taking a gop one, 725 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: hopefully you're seeing a doctor too, and you know, because 726 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: it can affect your gut considerably, So it really does 727 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,399 Speaker 1: make sense, like you're saying that it would impact other 728 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: parts of your body, specifically parts of your body that 729 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: are very sensitive to that balance, that pH balance that 730 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: by that microbiome importance, you know. 731 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 3: Yeah. It's interesting though about the GLP ones is that 732 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 3: you know, locally, like they're very anti inflammatory, and like 733 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 3: reducing inflammation in the body can have a lot of 734 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 3: very positive, like secondary and tertiary impacts. 735 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 2: On different systems body. 736 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 3: So I don't know, I hear a lot of conflicting 737 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 3: information about GLP one. 738 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you know, it's the pros and the cons. 739 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: You got to weigh it out and make sure it 740 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: works for you. 741 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 2: I guess yeah, but this is the first time I'm 742 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 2: hearing about. 743 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: Now you're going to look it up.

Not that I 748 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: you know, need it, but I mean it. 749 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 3: Affects the microbiome.

But yeah, we've known for 761 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 3: a long time that strained diversity is incredibly important in 762 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 3: maintaining a balanced ecosystem. 763 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: I think that all this knowledge that you've gathered through 764 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: your years of experience with your brand is so important 765 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: for you to share.

I think 769 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: that's really cool. 770 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 2: Well, the vagina is an immunity organ. 771 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, like it's a sex organ, but it's also an 772 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 3: immunity organ.
