I was known as doctor Jaqueline Watches. 128 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: I have somehow lost that name and I'm known as 129 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: doctor Jackie. Now I've been in obgyn for twenty five years. 130 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: I chose wellness, and the reason I chose a feel 131 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: where it was well woman health is I grew up 132 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: in a small town in Mississippi, and we didn't talk 133 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: about it. We didn't say the word vagina. Your mother 134 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: whispered about it. We badger shamed, like when you talked 135 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: about the vagina, it was something dirty or something nasty. 136 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: And I just kept thinking, one day, I'm going to 137 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: grow up and I am going to normalize the vagina. 138 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: I am going to make it where nobody is embarrassed 139 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: to talk about it. And that's where I really want 140 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: us as women to become it. Don't be embarrassed about it. 141 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: I've had enough to happen in my life. Now that 142 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: I have no shame, and so I try and educate, like, 143 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: your vagina's not making history. It has been done before. 144 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: If you go back to the Bible, there are things 145 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: in the Bible that they did to and with their vaginas. 146 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: So your vagina's not making history. You are not the 147 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: first person to have been cheated on. You're not the 148 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: first person having accident with your period. You're not the 149 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: first person to go, what's that smell going on down there? 150 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: You are not the first person.

So 154 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: I decided I didn't want to be a doctor. I 155 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: would just do medical technology.

So are there certain things that we should 178 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,479 Speaker 2: be keeping in mind when it comes to general feminine hygiene. 179 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: Well, one, Knowing the anatomy is important. You know, a 180 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: lot of women are very confused when I use the 181 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: proper terminology, So when I say clitterists, they mean you 182 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: mean you right here, Yes, So just get familiar with 183 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: your normal anatomy. Labia majora, labia manurea, the thinner inner 184 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: lips the glitteris is the clitteral hood the vagina, the paraneum, 185 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: and the in the rectum, and just knowing how to 186 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: have a conversation about it, and then knowing that the 187 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: vagina is actually cleaner than the mouth. A lot of 188 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: people look at the vagina as if it's nasty and 189 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: the mouth is fine. You have way more bacteria in 190 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: your mouth than you have in your vagina, and so 191 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: part of feminine health is to know that the vagina 192 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: is designed as a self cleaning of it. You don't 193 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: have to do a lot to it to make sure 194 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: that your vagina is healthy. The other parts is your 195 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: nutrition and your water intake is all as important to 196 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: it to vaginal health. And to know that there are 197 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: certain bacteria that should be in the vagina, I call 198 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: it the ecosystem is your defense of the vagina. It's 199 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: just to know that that is all a part of 200 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: normal being a normal female, and that it is not 201 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: supposed to smell like strawberries and roses, that it has 202 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: its own specific muskye, not musty, a musky odor that 203 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: comes along with a healthy vagina. A lot of women 204 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: want to scour the vagina out like it's a pot. 205 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: You know, I got a clean clean you don't you 206 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: allow it to clean itself and not to add a 207 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: whole lot of addatives to the vagina. And then you're 208 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: in there with you know, now, if you are doing 209 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: things to the vagina, putting things, people, places, and things 210 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: in the vagina, you may disrupt your normal ecosystem and 211 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: that's when we start to get into vaginitis. 212 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: Got it. 213 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 2: You mentioned hydration can impact vaginal health. Talk to me 214 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: a little bit about what hydration's role is in that regard. 215 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: So we're mostly water as people. It takes water for 216 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: everything in your body to work. Also, it cleanses the body. 217 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean you're drinking water and you're you know, you're 218 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: turning over sails and that's all important. You need the 219 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: cells to be hydrated. And just like the dust is 220 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: skin cells, vaginal discharge is all epithelial cells that are 221 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: shedding along with the mucus. And then some women, what 222 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: you eat, you will smell it again in your vagina 223 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: because we have certain women who don't break down oils 224 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: and different aromas through the vagina. So drinking water will 225 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: help purify that, help dilute that out. So water, water, water, water. 226 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 2: Super interesting that you would smell that perhaps in an 227 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: odor as opposed to just I know, like for example, 228 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: I literally just had asparagus with my dinner, a great 229 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: example of a food that people are always like, Well, 230 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: you can smell that in your urine after you consume it. 231 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: Yes, and same for the vagina. You can smell some women, 232 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: you will smell onions. A lot of women can't bring 233 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: down the oils in fish and seafood, and they get 234 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: that seafood odor a day or two after having eaten 235 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: seafood and it tends to pass. So you are you know, 236 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: it is important to hydrate again. It just kind of 237 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: help move that smell alone. 238 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: Now, for a super active woman, oftentimes we hear about 239 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 2: that activity level can disrupt her regular cycle. Let's talk 240 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: a little bit about that and if there's a point 241 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: perhaps where someone should be especially concerned with that irregularity. 242 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: So it takes a certain amount of body fat for 243 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: those proper hormones. You need body fat, and when women 244 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: are super thin and they don't have body fat, it 245 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: disrupts the production of certain hormones, and so your hormones 246 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: are thrown off, hents your cycles thrown off because it's 247 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: important to have estrogen and progesterone, and your ovaries will 248 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: make the estrogen and pogestone, but you need that body fat. 249 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: And so when you're not getting when you don't have 250 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: that and those hormones are disrupted, hence your cycle's totally 251 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: thrown off as well. And in order to have a cycle, 252 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: you have to have estrogen to stimulate that endometrial, the 253 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: inside lining of the uterus, because it's really just sitting 254 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: there waiting on a baby, like come on, come on, 255 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: wait on you to get pregnant. And each month when 256 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: you're not getting pregnant, you shed that lining and start 257 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: all over again. But if your hormones are disrupted, you 258 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: don't have body fat, you may not be taking any 259 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: proper nutrition. Then you're not getting that enough indimutual lining 260 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: to even have a period. 261 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: Interesting, and so I mean, I'll bring a little personal 262 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 2: experience to the show. You are welcome everyone, But for me, 263 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: I have had irregular cycles for as long as I 264 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: can remember, sometimes getting something one month, sometimes not getting 265 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: something the next month. And every single time I've seen 266 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 2: many different physicians at this point they will reference, well, 267 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: it's probably a combination of the fact that you are 268 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: super active. 269 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: I'm probably running. 270 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: I would say maybe six days a week and whatever 271 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: birth control you're on, right, So I've been on the 272 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: pill for a very very long time now. 273 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 3: But no one seems to be phased. 274 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: So how do you know when you should maybe be 275 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: worried about this versus not so concerned about it. 276 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: So, on an average, a woman will have a twenty 277 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: eight day cycle, and what do I mean by that, 278 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: that's the beginning of this period to the beginning of 279 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: the next period, which will occur every twenty eight days. 280 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: And we'll correct, and I will correct a woman who 281 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: goes but I had a period twice in the month, Well, sure, 282 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: you had it on the first of the month, and 283 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: then you got it again on the twenty ninth. And 284 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: they're like, oh my god, they're very frazzle. And so 285 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily about it happened in the same month, 286 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: it's how many days apart. So on an average, a 287 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: woman will have about a twenty one to thirty thirty 288 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: five day cycle, and as long as she is in 289 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: that range, and you will see your cycle change with 290 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: different phases in life. Like you said, I'm a runner, 291 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm on birth control. Pills, and they really have redesigned 292 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: birth control pills now where a woman really doesn't get 293 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: much of a period at all. And if you are 294 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: irregular taking the birth control pill, getting back the estrogen 295 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: and progester on your knee is to your benefit because 296 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: bone health is important as well. But regular is about 297 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: twenty one to thirty five. And if you say every 298 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: twenty five days I get a period, then you're regular. 299 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: You know, it just happens to fall in the same 300 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: month sometimes because of the number of days in the month. 301 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: What would you say, perhaps other irregularities are that may 302 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 2: have a woman looking into scheduling a consultation or a 303 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: special visit. 304 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: So if there's a woman who has one who's late 305 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: starting her period, she's eighteen years old and she has 306 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: breast and she's never had a period, we do want 307 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: her to check in with us. But if there's a 308 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: woman who's had a period, started a period at thirteen, 309 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden she stops having a period 310 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: and there's no explanation for no period, then we think 311 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: that person should come in because your thyroid function or 312 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: dysfunction could definitely throw your cycle off. A lot of 313 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: women were seeing now because we know more about it, 314 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: may have something called polycystical variant syndrome or metabolic syndrome 315 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: or insulin resistance, and those ladies are not secreting the 316 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: proper amount of estrogen and progesterone, the insulin levels high, 317 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: those women may not get periods for years. That's not 318 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 1: healthy because we want to make sure that endometrial lining 319 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: that we were talking about isn't very thick because a 320 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: thickened the lining that's not shedding every month could potentially 321 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: become what we call hyperplasia and could become malignant. So 322 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: if you're not getting if you once had normal periods 323 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you stopped your period, 324 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: you should definitely have an evaluation. Or if your period 325 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: went from being a moderate flow for the first day 326 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: to a light flow and now all of a sudden, 327 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: you're just bleeding and non stop bleeding, we want you 328 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: to check in with us as well. But there may 329 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: be medical reasons that women are not having a period, 330 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: or oftentimes having them too much. Fibroids, individual polyps, anything 331 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: that could cause an a tropian or what's another word 332 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: for may cause your cervix to be a little abnormal. 333 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: We do want to make sure that you are safe. 334 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: It seems as though a lot of the things that 335 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 2: you are highlighting can also be points of conversation in 336 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 2: your annual visit, which would be why your annual especially 337 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: into your obgion is super important. 338 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and that's I encourage women to almost journal their wellness. 339 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: You know, this is something to come and most of 340 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: the time you go. I come in and I'm like, 341 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm a rooty to the twob doctor mental health. We've 342 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: been in a pandemic. How's it going? Because oddly enough, 343 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: if you're super stressed out, then you will also have 344 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: your hypothalamus thrown off. And when the hypothalamus is not 345 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: secreting certain hormones and the porturitary is thrown off, and 346 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: when the petary is thrown off, the ovaries won't do 347 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: what they need to do. So we do encourage mental 348 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: health as one of those things we want to talk about. 349 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: And then heart smart, you know, leading cause of death 350 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: and women now heart disease. So we do talk about 351 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: heart smart and obviously that's not what I'm there for, 352 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: but I'm there definitely to make a suggestion for a referral. 353 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: And then good health is important and then for me, 354 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, I'm always like the June is everything, okay. 355 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: I also think that a lot of women like I 356 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 2: can certainly speak to this, although in recent years have 357 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 2: been much better with it. But there were years that 358 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 2: like my annual doctor's visit so to speak, was going 359 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 2: to see my obgyn, because that was one I knew 360 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: that I never wanted to skip. It was always really 361 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: important for me, especially considering some of my past health history. 362 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 3: So I can totally understand. 363 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: And I think it's really important that you know you're 364 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 2: starting to pulse check in some of these other areas 365 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: because it could bring up, as you mentioned, something that's 366 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: worth talking about with another physician, and it's really great 367 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: that that physician can then give you a referral to 368 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: someone else in their network. 369 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and women are not as open and transparent because 370 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: they feel like I'm going to judge or somebody may 371 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: judge them, or they're embarrassed by what I do day 372 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: to day with my vagina. I don't want to share it, 373 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: but it is. You know, I tell women I'm the 374 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: Olivia Pope of the vagina. If you get into trouble, 375 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: I can get you out, So you really want to 376 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: have a relationship, which is important. Have a relationship with 377 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: your obgyn so that you can come in and they go, girl, 378 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: you know what I did, And I'm like, girl, we 379 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: need to check for this or check for that, or 380 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm smelling this or I feel that, and 381 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: then I give suggestions. You know, I talk about my 382 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: favorite things, and I have a whole list of some 383 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: of my favorite things for the vagina, and we'll definitely 384 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: talk about a few of those things. But that's why 385 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: I tell women have a relationship with an obgyn and 386 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: try not to shop around too much, because you never 387 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: really get to develop a relationship with your doctor. 388 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,239 Speaker 2: I do think that that's a super important note, is 389 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: finding someone that truly makes you feel comfortable, because it 390 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 2: is again it's your body. 391 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 3: Holding back isn't going to do you any favors. 392 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: So finding someone similar to like searching around for the 393 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 2: right therapist, Like find someone and stick with them if 394 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 2: you feel really comfortable in that situation. I love what 395 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 2: you had to say about a list of my favorite 396 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 2: things for the vagina, which obviously means that I'm gonna 397 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: have to ask you what some of these are. Although 398 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 2: I do feel like I'm deviating from where I'm trying 399 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 2: to go with this, but I couldn't let that one slide. 400 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: Well, favorite things for the vagina one is I don't 401 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: use soap, you know, as men and women go what. 402 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe in putting additives into the vagina. That's 403 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: going to throw off that normal pH that you should 404 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: have in the vagina. And I'm a big believer. And 405 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: if I can bring any names in, I'll bring you 406 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: refresh and refreshes a jail that I love, love, love, 407 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: and I do this doctor Jackie's favorite things gifts for 408 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: my friends and in that is always refresh. I'm like, okay, 409 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: you need refresh because you want to refresh her but 410 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: also stabilize the pH and the vagina. So that's one 411 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: of my favst. Probiotics, love love love probiotics. And I 412 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: have to distinguish between gut health and vaginal health because 413 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: there are a little bit of differences between the two. 414 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: But I do talk about probiotics for gut health and 415 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: vaginal health. You know, I don't like women using towels 416 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: over and over and again, so I'm like, just use 417 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: your hand to slush out the vagina. So I do 418 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: those things, and then just some of the other girl 419 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: things I like having in my life is you know, 420 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: certain cologns. So I give all those things out to 421 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: my friends that I have come to like. You know 422 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: that Oprah's Favorite Things. 423 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 3: I love, Doctor Jackie's favorite things. 424 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: I have a doctor Jackie favor Yes, for my brides, 425 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: doctor Jackie's favorite things for women who have breast cancer. 426 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: But I do the same thing with especially my teens 427 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: going away to college, you know, even poopery. You know, 428 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: like if you got a new girl in the dorm, 429 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: you don't want to get bad, you know, use some 430 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: of this. So I just give them a gift bag 431 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: of these favorite things that I love. 432 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: You mentioned probiotics. 433 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 2: Now, is there a difference between a probiotic or a 434 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: probiotic that could be in a daily supplement that I 435 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: take versus something that may be specifically for my feminine health. 436 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, the vaginal probiotics will give you back that good 437 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: lacto bascillas that you have. Some of the gut probiotics 438 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: may not necessarily provide the actual bacteria you need for 439 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: the vagina target specific again, you know, I love I'm 440 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: a refreshed girl. They have pro b as one of theirs, 441 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: and I'm certainly. And then supplements, you know, I do 442 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: tell women, so we're going from probiotics to make sure 443 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: you're taking the right supplements. We're in a pandemic, you know, 444 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: DC and zinc will be your friend. 445 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 2: Something we haven't specifically talked about yet, although I do 446 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: believe you mentioned the D word discharge. Everyone I know 447 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 2: is very different, can have different amounts consistencies. 448 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 3: This is so awkward to talk about, but we're going 449 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 3: to talk about it. 450 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 2: So for someone who is active, is there a certain amount, 451 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 2: so to speak, that would be normal versus a certain 452 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 2: amount that should be something that you should perhaps reach 453 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 2: out to an obgian about. And for someone who may 454 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: be getting a heavier amount of discharge, what would you 455 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: recommend for them to navigate that on the day to day. 456 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: So we normalize vaginal discharge by one mentioning around the 457 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: time of ovulation, should you not take birth control, peels, rings, patches, 458 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,479 Speaker 1: or anything that would stop ovulation, you may notice a 459 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: bit more of an egg consistency where it just kind 460 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: of comes out of the vaginant, you know, if you 461 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,120 Speaker 1: pull it. And that's important to us, that whole string 462 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: effect during that time, you may notice more watery discharge. Now, 463 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: if you're having a copious amount of discharge where you 464 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: stand up and you're just pouring discharge, especially if it 465 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: has an odor and it has a color to it. Now, 466 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: I do believe in the mirror. I mean when I 467 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: wrote the Queen Bee, I'm like, get your mirror out 468 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: and look at it. You know, if you feel like 469 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: something's not right, please put your eyes on it. Because 470 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: you can't necessarily use your underwear as the color test 471 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: because by the time you go throughout the day and 472 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: the oil and the dirt from the skin on the 473 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: labia has changed the color of the underwear or drying 474 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: effect has changed the color. So I tell women, if 475 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: there's an odor, if there's irritational itching, if it's copious 476 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: amounts where it is kind of just running out of 477 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: the vagina, that may not be normal. But you are 478 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: right when you said earlier. Every woman's a little different. 479 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: I'm a big panty lineerware you know, I'm sharing am 480 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: but I like wearing panty liners because I'm really about 481 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: staying drunk. That's important too. So if you're walking around 482 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: throughout the day and you're just wet all day, then 483 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: you're setting yourself up for things like yeast infection. So 484 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you're you know, you're dry, 485 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: and that's a catch twenty two. We don't want the 486 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: actual vagina dry, but we want to feel dry throughout 487 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: the day. And it's like wearing your gym clothes all day. 488 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: You don't want to do that or walking around in 489 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: a bathing suit that's wet all day. Same thing with underwear. Well, 490 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: if you feel like you're wet all day, then you 491 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: may want to consider a panty liner. 492 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 2: Taking a break from today's episode to talk to you 493 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 2: about my sponsor at Gooder.

Especially to the woman who 544 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: has recurrent vaginitis one. She wants to just kind of 545 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: probe life and see what she may be doing that's 546 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: setting her up. That goes back to medical conditions as well. 547 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: If you know, make sure she's not a diabetic or 548 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 1: maybe pcos where they're doing, you know, a little heavier 549 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: and they're doing a lot of sweating there, but a probiotic. 550 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: I go back to that, you want to keep that 551 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: ecosystem in check so that you are not having an 552 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: overgrowth of yeast or back to your vaginosis, and your 553 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: diet is super important. What are you eating? Are you 554 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: eating up? You know, you're doing gummies all day, You're 555 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: drinking sugary drinks all day, so you want to make 556 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: sure your diet is important. We talked about water. Water 557 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: is the best thing you could flood your body with 558 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: every day, but getting out of those wet underwear, and 559 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: then around your period is to try and make sure 560 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: you're not wearing tampons all day all the time. So 561 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: hygiene is important and that around your period as well. 562 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: I go back to my friend refreshed because I'm going 563 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: to say that over and over because that is one 564 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: of my favorite things which will help stabilize the pH. 565 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: So if you can keep your pH in that acidic 566 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: range that is should be and it will not allow 567 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: yeast and bacteria agnosis to overtake you. 568 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 2: And I know something that can contribute to perhaps a 569 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 2: weird word I'm going to throw into the mix here, 570 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 2: the climate down there could be what choice of underwear 571 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 2: you lean into, especially for activities. 572 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 3: So what advice do you have when it comes to that. 573 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: So I'm a big believer in cotton underwear, or at 574 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: least cotton lined underwear. And I love thongs, I mean, 575 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: but I try to buy the ones where it's not 576 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: just this stream. And the reason I've done that is 577 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: you're rubbing from the back to the front to the back, 578 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,239 Speaker 1: and those two environments should not be connectored, you know, 579 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: and we'll throw out you know, what goes on in 580 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: Vegas should stay in Vegas. So even with intercourse and 581 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: that type of activity is you want to make sure 582 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: you're not dragging from the back to the front. So 583 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: cotton lined underwear, breathable cotton lined underwear will be important. 584 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: I'm like looking right now to see literally, like what 585 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 2: fabric it doesn't say, oh light gra like gra four 586 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: way stretch, breathable, breatheable, cotton guss it Okay, So you 587 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: know what I think it is. I do think that 588 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 2: a lot of like quote unquote athletic underwear they have 589 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 2: cotton in it, but it just feels a little different 590 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: obviously than like right now, I'm probably wearing like a 591 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 2: mostly cotton dress. But like my cotton dress feels very 592 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: different than my active underwear. It's just a different combination 593 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: of fabrics, I would say. 594 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: And you also have since we're talking about underwear. For 595 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: the woman who has just recurrent vaginitis, sometimes we even 596 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: tell them come out of the colored underwear. I try 597 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: to find something that doesn't have a lot of dye 598 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: in it and see if that doesn't help at all. 599 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: But I can always say to women, diet is extremely important. 600 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: Nutrition and nutrition is important. Probiotics and what are you 601 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: doing to your vagina? Now, we're gonna get a little risky. 602 00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: If you are having multiple partners, you are, I'm definitely 603 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: more likely to have a disruption of the pH and 604 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: your vagina because you're mixing different floras. You know, one 605 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: guy has this girl, and then he goes to this girl, 606 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: and so he's creating this whole combustion of flora that 607 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: they're putting in place. So women who find themselves with 608 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: recurrent imagine itis will have to also wonder what type 609 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: activities they're participating in. 610 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 2: And something that we haven't touched on yet, and the 611 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 2: last thing that we're going to touch on today together. 612 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 2: We haven't necessarily talked about the girls up top. We 613 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 2: haven't talked about anything when it comes to breast health. 614 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 2: So two questions. One something that I know the woman 615 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 2: listening to this are probably curious about if they have 616 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 2: not yet started to do annual mammograms. But they of course, 617 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 2: at any age you're going to be when you go 618 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 2: in for your annual obgian appointment, you're going to be 619 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 2: doing regular breast exams. But if you haven't started getting 620 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 2: mammograms yet, is there any guidelines that you can provide 621 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 2: about when someone should really consider incorporating that into their 622 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 2: annual routines, so to speak. 623 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: So this one, yes, I can answer the question because 624 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: I'm a two time breast cancer survivor. So let me 625 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: shout out to women it's an early detection is your 626 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: best protection. It's to say that if you talk about 627 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: the American College of Obigy, in which governs obgyns, or 628 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: I believe the American Cancer Society, we do recommend a 629 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: mammogram starting at age forty. Now let me qualify if 630 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: you have had a first degree relative with breast cancer, 631 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: your mother or your sister, or your brother or your father, 632 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: then you should get your mammogram ten years before that 633 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: relative was actually diagnosed with it. If they you're not 634 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: sure about the age, I will say thirty. You know, 635 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: get your first mammogram at age thirty. Now, though, we 636 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: can do genetic testing, and so if a woman presents 637 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: and her mom or her sister, or her dad or 638 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: brother had breast cancer, we can certainly screen them to 639 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: if they have any genetic predisposition to developing breast cancer. 640 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: But if you just came in my office and you're 641 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: a woman who's forty years or older, we do recommend 642 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: annual mammogram screenings to up up to about the age 643 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 1: of sixty five. And I even tell a sixty five 644 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: year old woman, your life isn't over, and this is 645 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: something you want to do. You know, we can do 646 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: it to sixty eight, we can do it to seventeen. 647 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: But you do need an annual mammogram. You need to 648 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: do self breast exams every month, and a good time 649 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: to do it is the week after your period, when 650 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: all those hormonal changes have gone away. Checking your breast 651 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: in the tuble shower when your hands are soapy and wet, 652 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: and multiple positions, you know, standing lying flat, you know, 653 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: check your left with your right and you're right with 654 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: your left because there are very few nerve endings on 655 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: this side of the hand, and you want to do 656 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: it more on this portion of the hand. And then 657 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: taking vitamin D three has also been found to decrease 658 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: the risk of breast cancer, so we're encouraging that as well. 659 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 2: Wow, some really really great advice here. Thank you so 660 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 2: much for for sharing bress. 661 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: Health is super important. Like I started, early, detection is 662 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: your best protection. And if we're dying more, we should 663 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: be doing more. 664 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 3: Yes, we should be doing more. 665 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 2: The last thing that I want to ask you about again, 666 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 2: when it comes to that active woman or honestly just 667 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 2: any woman, I'm a fan of going without a bra, 668 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 2: but obviously that's not an option when it comes to 669 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 2: sport anything that we should be taking into consideration when 670 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 2: it comes to appropriate sports bra or fit for taking 671 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 2: care of our girls when we're getting active. 672 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: And I will be honest, I'm not a big fan 673 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: of underwire and why is it. I do believe that 674 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: the underwire just kind of moves around and creates a 675 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: calloused area underneath, which is always very confusing for the 676 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: woman who's checking her breast. But it's stick in that 677 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 1: area because it's responding to that wire constantly rubbing. So 678 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: if you could find a good supporting broad it's comfortable 679 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: to the back and hold the girls up and in place, 680 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: that's important. But I do tell women take your bronze 681 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: off when your home. You know, if you can just 682 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: allow the lymphatic drainage to take place, just be free 683 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: and not to wear a bra. You know, girls will 684 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: try and sleep in bros and my mother never allowed it. 685 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: Now she never gave me a reason why, but she 686 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: just told us never to sleep in a bra. But 687 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: there is something to just let those breasts go free 688 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: and let the lymphatic drainage do what it needs to do, 689 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: and then just make sure you know your breast like 690 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: you know your way home. You can tell that this 691 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: is always very thick in this area. If there is 692 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: a mask, you want to report that to your doctor. 693 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: If you have any nipple drainage, especially if it's bloody 694 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: or green, you want to talk to the doctor. If 695 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: you feel any unusual feelings in the accillary underneath the arms. 696 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: You want to report that to your doctor. So anything 697 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,760 Speaker 1: that you suspect isntcorrect. But women who have fiber cistic breasts, 698 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: the lumpy, bumpy breast, will kind of get to know 699 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: their breast. They know that around their periods. It's kind 700 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 1: of thicker, more tender. That's when I say know your 701 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: breast like you know your way home. 702 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 2: For any women who are perhaps having issues with leaking 703 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 2: or incontinents, especially when it comes to activity, is there 704 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 2: anything that they can do on their own perhaps before 705 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 2: seeking alternative means or you know some of the things 706 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 2: that we've heard about these days, vaginal rejuvenation. 707 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 3: What can they do on their own before they get 708 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 3: to that step. 709 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: So, if you have any stress inconnents, which let me 710 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: just tell you, because I have matured, you don't call 711 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: it aging anymore. We're maturing, you will definitely encounter some 712 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: stress incontinence. And when we say stress incontinents is if 713 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: you cough or sneeze or jump, you may feel a 714 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: little bit of a squirt or all out leak. For 715 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: those women who may have some stress inconnents, I'm a 716 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: big believer in doing keg golds, and they make all 717 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: types of Cagle Sizers now make weighted cones. They make 718 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: these little contractions where you can work your pelvic muscle, 719 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: pelvic floor muscles to try to type. It's like doing weights. 720 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: You know how we tone up the biceps. Just google 721 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: it you'll find all types. So definitely do that, and 722 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 1: then make sure you go to the bathroom. You know, 723 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: as women, we do everything for everybody else and we'll 724 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: wait till the last minute to go to the bathroom, 725 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: So you're kind of putting a strain in that area. 726 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 1: And then be careful with what you're drinking. Caffeine and 727 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,760 Speaker 1: those sugary drinks will sometimes make us go to the bathroom. 728 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,399 Speaker 1: But there are things you can do now. Pelvic floor 729 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: physical therapy is really big and popular now and there 730 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: are some wonderful physical therapists out there who can teach 731 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: you how to exercise those muscles and show you what 732 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: you need to do. I do believe I have this 733 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: injection that I do. But you may have heard of 734 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: the old shot, and I call it the Wow shot 735 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: because by default, when you do an old shot, it 736 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: definitely makes the or gasing tissue more sensitive, but it 737 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: also helps with stress and continents. It increases collagen production, 738 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 1: and that you're the neck around the bladderneck, the ring 739 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: around the bladder neck, the sphincter is stronger. And I 740 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 1: personally would tell women after an old shot. I had 741 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: no inconments. It was like, Okay, this is a good thing, 742 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: so a good thing. 743 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 2: And it felt good. Apparently, I think it's I think 744 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 2: it's interesting. Uh, I didn't know that they made like 745 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 2: tools that or like, I mean, it sounds like it 746 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 2: sounds like, I don't know, picking up a dumbbell or 747 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 2: using a foam roller, like and that's. 748 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: Exactly that's exactly what it looks like. Wait and let 749 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: me let me warn your listeners. You think, oh, I'm 750 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: gonna put this little light cone in my vagina, girl, 751 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,240 Speaker 1: it will fall right out if you don't have strong 752 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: enough muscles to hold it. And some people even use 753 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: them for fun because if you move them in and 754 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: out of the vagina, you're gonna hit those zorogynous tissues. 755 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: But yes, look for weighted cones or they call them 756 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: cagle sizors like exercise. 757 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 2: Amazing, amazing, Thank you so much for all this intel. 758 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 3: I know I certainly learned a lot. 759 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 2: I think there's probably we could probably keep talking for 760 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 2: quite some time here. Is there anything else that we 761 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 2: haven't touched on that you think is really important to 762 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 2: kind of bring some awareness to before I let you 763 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 2: go today. 764 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: I want women to be free, and the reason I 765 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: wrote my book The Queen Bee is to allow a 766 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,240 Speaker 1: certain amount of freedom around the vagina, like normalize saying 767 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: the word vagina, talking about you vagina, and getting a 768 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 1: mirror and looking at your vagina so that you know 769 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: that the queen is okay. 770 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 2: The queen is oh okay.
