0:00 Intro
4:50 Hormonal birth control and xenoestrogens from our environment push women into perimenopause and premature ovarian failure.
6:30 Women who come off birth control may experience early perimenopause.
9:30 Bioidentical hormones can help women coming off hormonal birth control to recuperate.
11:30 Women have more testosterone than estrogen.
13:40 PCOS is an insulin and low progesterone issue.
15:40 Women’s estrogen and progesterone are produced in the ovarian follicles. Adrenal glands also produce estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
18:25 AMH levels reflect the ovarian reserve.
18:50 Egg quality depends upon balanced levels of estrogen and testosterone.
21:30 DHEA is important for energy, healthy estrogen levels, blood sugar metabolism, immune system,
muscle mass, and post workout recovery.
29:05 All hormones are at their peak between 8 and 10 am.
29:45 Blood/serum testing is the most accurate.
32:30 Follicle-stimulating hormone FSH helps the egg to mature and stimulates the release of estrogen
and progesterone.
34:15 We are starting to see late perimenopause and menopause levels of FSH in young women.
34:40 Optimal estradiol is between 70 to 150.
35:00 The follicular phase starts on day one of bleeding and luteal starts with ovulation.
37:15 Body temperature and cervical fluid are effective ways to determine if you are ovulating.
42:00 Signs of low progesterone
46:50 Bioidentical oral progesterone
50:00 Helps with sleep: valerian root, CBD, magnesium, GABA, and L-theanine (am and pm).
53:30 Growth hormone peptides can help you sleep through the night.
58:45 Oxytocin nasal spray is neuroprotective and can help with stress management and resilience,
anxiety, and depression.
59:50 Women should consume 30 to 40 grams of protein at least 3 to 4 times per day, with a minimum
of 120 grams/day.
I've never taken contraceptives in my life. I don't even use medicine unless I'm dying:) Never smoke, drink rarely..
I got pregnant within two weeks at the age of 38 and I'm thanking myself for the lifestyle choices I made 😊
and if you completely drop sugar (glucides in general), wheat and absolutely 0 alcool… you will turn into Wonder Woman. Try it. It’s life changing! You can still use honey, 85-90% dark chocolate, maple or agave syrup👍🏻
@@avalancherose homey and syrup is still sugar. Just avoid sweets period.
This happened to me at 42. I credit lifestyle as well:)
@@avalancherose written by someone who has no clue
43:27 I think this was a missed opportunity to talk about how we don’t teach adolescent girls how to handle puberty and the influx of hormones. It would be more difficult for these girls to fall to societal pressure if their hormones didn’t make them feel like strangers in their own bodies

Ah, critiquing the doctor's looks instead of appreciating her insights-must be a new way to mask jealousy or your own insecurities, right? Let's level up the conversation - focus on the brains.
Wth are u going on about

Yah...looks like the offending OP went in and deleted their comment.
But(!) - I am not at all surprised over the existence of at least one jealous XX trying to throw shade in her looks. Not surprised at all😏
EDIT - AH...looks like I spoke too soon.😏
Found a whole thread of nasty comments (obviously from jealous, bitter, dried up, fems, resentful of her combo of great looks and her brains & accomplishments).
So... knowing they can't throw shade on Dr. Elena's brains or the fact that she's beautiful AND a Dr.
They've decided to pick her apart based on her looks.
WHY!!??😮
...am I not surprised at this?🙄
I am in my mid forties, and I’ve had to become my own doctor due to my very own Gynaecologist not being familiar with HRT. GREAT guest! Thank you.
Thanks, Mike for focusing on women’s health. Really appreciate it. Your guest is knowledgeable and I really enjoyed listening to you two 🙏🏼
She’s sooooo intelligent!😍💕And is delivering sooooo much health information, on such a digestible level, ugh I love her 😍💕such a good vibe, as well.
recycled knowledge 😂
I’m so glad you are addressing this!! I’m 52 and had a terrible time with peri. I ended up going to a private practice for help because my pcp AND the GYNs in my medical group are CLUELESS!!
I am having the same issue with a terrible pcp and GYN but unfortunately, I’m stuck with whoever takes my insurance. And my PCP is assigned.. pcp claimed I have hypothyroidism. But my gynecologist said that I do not that I am just not making enough progesterone. So much conflicting information and still left feeling hopeless.
I love Dr. Shawn Tassone OBGYN. He is licensed in many states. I hope this helps you on your journey!
Would love a thyroid podcast follow up!
Yes! I would love to talk about thyroid!
It was a pleasure bumping into you at the airport for a few seconds! Thank you for all the content you push out!
Hi there! Likewise. Thank so much for saying hi, hope you have a great trip.
Thank you for putting this up. I am not a woman but so many women in my life are suffering hormonal issues. In fact 90% of women I know have PCOS! Ridiculous situation, so I hope to learn more about this. Thank you as always Mike
Thank you for showing interest in this topic! Hormones effect so many aspects of women’s lives 👏

great interview!!
Thank you! Very valuable information. I appreciate you so much for bringing such caliber guests to shed light to women's issues, especially for perimenopausal ages...I was surprised though to hear about low progesterone in teenage girls, perhaps this would be a great future episode.
I wish someone talked to me about low progesterone levels when I was a teenager! ❤ And for many teenagers, their progesterone may be ok, but their estrogen (estradiol) is higher in proportion to progesterone.
More peptide talk please Mike. I’ve just started CJC Ipamorelin and would love to continue hearing more about the amazing benefits.
65yo. Perimenopause in early 40s. At 14 I was put onto birth control pill for cystic acne (periods started at 11) From the time I started back on compounded DHEA (50mg to 100mg) just over a year ago I have my libido back, I lost fat (at least 12kg) and gained muscle with gym work (weightlifting every second day 45 minutes). I do get the odd pimple, but have started acupuncture for facial skin.
So glad you talked about timing - the endo I saw, said to take on rising, but my sleep is bad quality, so will start dosing in the evening.
Edit: forgot to mention I am carnivore...
I was put on a contraception pill at the age of 19 for no reason whatsoever. I didn’t know any better and a random doctor just promoted it to me as a beauty pill and that it would improve my hair, nails and skin. I didn’t need contraception, they kept encouraging me taking the “beauty pill” because that’s literally the best think I could do as a young woman apparently. I was on the pill for 6 years. It’s ruined my health, 2 decades later I’m still suffering the side effects such as sore joints, body acne and messed up hormones. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever done to myself. Now decades later I’m finding that the pill that they put me on encouraging to take it for entire life unless I wanted to have a child - Diane35- was actually never approved as a long term contraceptive pill and was only meant to be used as a short course of treatment 🤦♀️ nobody has ever told me that, they kept renewing prescriptions telling me I had to take it. Nobody has ever warned me of side effects and when my side effects became really prominent they never connected it to the pill claiming “I was born this way”.. you cannot trust conventional doctors.
Great podcast! Hope both men and women listen as it great information that can help a mother, daughter sister or wife in need
Excellent discussion on a topic we need at the forefront of real medicine.
I agree 100%
Gonna listen to this one later tonight!!
Comment section is ruthless again, relax she's alright. 😅
I am a woman and I tried DHEA about a year ago when I was 58. I was excited and thought it would help my workouts. Nope I ended up not having enough energy to make it even half way through my workouts , I tried it for a week and it didn't get better, stopped taking it and after 3 or 4 days off of it my normal energy came back and I was able to get a great workout in again. No way would I ever touch the stuff again.
She’s absolutely beautiful 💗
I'm 2 years post meno and I take DHEA 25 mg twice a day. I started myself on it when I went in to menopause. I feel great and no mood changes, I now put myself on pregnenolone. :))
Oh I'll try that. I just started menopause or peri... not sure which since I had my uterus removed a few years ago.
Ty for sharing 🙏
@AmeliaCarter4376 thank you for sharing your experience! I'm ordering some Pregnenolone today!

Being in peri and having endometriosis and adenomyosis, this information is good to have. More younger women need info on hormonal issues. Mine started young and most doctors just made it worse. Took finding a holistic doctor to get any answers thanks to in depth bloodwork.
So happy to hear you found a good healthcare provider-that is half of the challenge sometimes.
Women please understand, estrogen is not “ the female” hormone!! It is a shock hormone in both women and men, a stress hormone. It is used by the women’s body to change the environment of the uterus, in order to bring in changes to repair the tissue to ready for the next ovulation. Progesterone is the women’s hormone of life, in the second half of your cycle, progesterone increase to repair tissue and to rid of the estrogen. In pregnancy progesterone increase from 20mgs/day to over 500mgs/day. Progesterone is the hormone of life, in both men and women.
Estrogen does a lot more than change the lining of the uterus. It affects our brain, cardiovascular system, and musculoskeletal system. Low estrogen in women especially in post menopause is one of the drivers of Alzheimer’s like symptoms. Similarly, progesterone and other hormones for that matter, do more than just determine our physical characteristics or reproductive function. They have systemic effects and implications.
I heard Menopause Barbie call it this way - testosterone is the father, estrogen is the mother, and progesterone is the baby hormone. Test makes you attracted to men, estrogen keeps you attractive TO men (elasticity of skin, organ health, vaginal lubrication, arousal), progesterone is the cushion for the baby (calm mental health, good sleep cycle so the baby is in good environment to grow and in case of no baby, it sheds).
@@dr.elenazinkov7362 I think you may have been told a lot about Estrogen, that is misguided because pharma has been selling it in the form of birth control, and they have captured the medical journals and the medical system.
When it becomes a problem, especially in women, is when it is elevated and makes its way into tissue, where it cannot be measured in the blood. As in PCOS, breast and uterine cancers, also resulting in blood clots and heart failure. Estrogen in the the pill, of course ends in infertility. How can infertility represent, in any way, good health?
Estrogen is the beginning of a repair process, both in men and women, but if not cleared quickly by a compromise liver, a cascade of health issues begin.
@@cheesecakesmellsgood I respectfully disagree. Look up the hormone pathways for both men and women, you will notice that in each, cholesterol is the raw material for the conversion to two life bringing hormones, progesterone and pregnenolone, these all other hormones follow.
In pregnancy, pregnenolone increases from 20mgs/day to over 500mgs/day by the end of pregnancy. This is a huge increase! Everything in the bloodstream that is available to the mother is available to the developing child. There are huge changes in the mother as well as the baby, supported by the “women’s hormone” progesterone( ie protestation).
General health is improved , when an optimal metabolism results in more conversion of cholesterol to these live bring hormones.
Estrogen is needed to begin a repair process, in all injuries, both men and women. When it is elevated chronically, and not cleared by a compromised liver, it is involved in most diseases.
Unfortunately, we have all been endocrinated into thinking, it’s a benefit. A real shame.
All the best.
@@aj-pf5yt wow, this is interesting and didn’t know about that! Esp cholesterol that all doctors love to “lower”.
I need to see this dr.

Have you done a video on optimizing mens hormones similar to this video?
I'm listening this all the way through. That other podcast about among other things, the female body with Courtney Swan was super interesting.
great episode this literally answered alot of questions i had to myself
11:24 “many physicians aren’t educated “😢
All the time stamps are off set I think. Click on the previous time stamp to get to the header you're looking for.
Lots of great information here. Thabk you! We need to normalize women speaking up about hormone options as we age.
Big question : is there a tie in between insulin resistance and menstrual cramps, and any research toward minimizing severe cramps? Literally from my first menstrual period I had severe cramping accompanied by intractable vomiting. The reason I went on oral contraceptives specifically and only for this at 16, was not sexually active till 20. This plagued me throughout my life even after having three children, and only ended with a hysterectomy at 47. This is a very real life limiting problem for many women. If there is a treatment out there that offered any hope, I tried it.
If you clean up your diet I promise you- you won’t have premenstrual cramps…!! If I eat crappy I feel bad around that time- if I eat on point and eat enough protein and walk etc / I feel amazing! Don’t even know it’s coming half the time
From my personal experiences, I encountered severe discomfort due to menstrual cramps. Upon eliminating dairy from my diet, I was astounded by the resulting outcomes. Notably, all instances of cramping ceased, to my profound surprise. Furthermore, I found myself unaware of the onset of my menstrual cycles, indicating a significant shift in my physiological and cognitive states.
@@BLE000 that is impressive! I am many years past it now, personally I never had PMS or mood swings , that part was all good. But I was very sick every month, cramps weren’t even super severe but they set off vomiting that would last for 16-24 hours. It was tough! I will suggest to my daughter to try dropping dairy but I don’t think she uses much. But thanks for taking time to respond.💕
@@lilolmecjyou are most welcome! At 48, I am still in it, though I am looking forward to my next chapter.💖

She said ”i had low hormones but was eating healthy like salads and lean protein”. Of course she had low hormones, as they need a high fat diet.
I was eating that too 😊. Diet wasn’t the issue.
So interesting. I was one of those young women who had thin PCOS and it went unnoticed but my naturopath said she said it was PCOS-like and didn’t fully diagnose me. Testosterone was high, so I was told, close to 40/41 but good insulin levels around 3 I think? But Low estrogen and progesterone. So, I’m curious what happens when insulin is in check but other hormones
still off. Still listening so maybe it will be answered.
Love how she mentioned genetic issues for hormones! So many people blame you and say you’re doing something wrong if your hormones aren’t balanced but my doc also suspected genetics. I’m on HBC now but I’m considering the bioidentical now and have hope I can get off without horrendous symptoms, using BHRT. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story! If you’re on oral BC then that will keep your hormones low overall. BHRT progesterone can do wonders for women with PCOS. Just make sure the doctor starts you on a low dose. I like to see women start at 25 mg oral or cream and go from there!
@@dr.elenazinkov7362 Thank you for your reply! I was off birth control for several years and my hormones would not balance with herbal treatment. I work with a naturopath who was actually trained at the same University you went to and she is wonderful and I may explore BRHT. My only hiccup is my birth control pill is covered and I have read BRHT is hundreds a month?
So I was on bio identical creams, and then progesterone pills for 17 years. I had major gut problems. Do you think it’s because my liver was rejecting it or wasn’t clearing as well on that.?
0:46 What kind of music is it? I'd be happy if you could paste the URL.
Regardless, it's her choice, I don't know why she needs validations/judgments from strangers. Anyway, great content, Thanks Mike and Dr.Elana.
When you judge the messenger you miss the message. Who cares if she has filler or Botox most women do…it’s 2024. It doesn’t discredit what she’s saying.
I do find slightly annoying when holistic/naturopathic doctors don’t practice what they preach. Remove all toxins from your environment but at the same time inject others into your face 🤷🏼♀️
If someone claims to teach people how to balance their hormones but is physically showing that she is using processes that are known be hormonal disrupters (Botox, filler, bleach, etc), it raises questions in the viewer as to the credibility of the speaker.
I don't give a fig what she's done to herself, but No, most women don't do this.
Surprised that the conversation about melatonin did not mention the benefits of near infrared radiation (NIR) or sun, on sleep and inflammation. NIR penetrates clothing and skin and stimulates mitochondria to produce melatonin at the intracellular level, and in magnitudes way higher than supplements and doesn’t directly make one sleepy. Melatonin is also a very potent antioxidant.
What is NIR?
@@HH-gv8mx As stated, near infrared radiation (NIR). Technically it is a band of frequencies from the lowest red light frequenciy to infrared and infrared (IR) conveys heat like a heat lamp. NIR does not feel warm against the skin and doesn’t damage like IR. There are lamps and saunas for NIR now. NIR was shown to essentially cancel inflammation in a COVID infected tissue.
My mum is sleeping a lot better on Onas natural progesterone cream 10 percent....she is 65 yrs old...i just ordered magnesium malate for both of us for our sleep....i apply natural progesterone from Onas 10 days a month and breast pain went away..no spotting this month 😊..yay...im 41..
Are the things sees talking about for sleep in a addition to progesterone, over-the-counter medicines or prescriptions, I know valerian route is not a prescription but what about the rest?

Good question
@@eme8237 none of the experts seem to know !
Yeah, real experts aren’t they?
I wish she would’ve talked a little about women who can’t track their cycle because they done have a uterus anymore because that is a very wide population of us.
I just had a hysterectomy 20 days ago, everything gone but my ovaries, I was worried that I could not be able track my cycle but I did . just like 3 days ago I have most of the symptoms of PMS, I usually get hot during my cycle, and I know exactly when I’m ovulating since I always have a pain in my ovaries and back pain, it wasn’t as strong as it was before surgery but I could tell, so I guess if you don’t have a uterus anymore you can’t track your cycle by looking into other symptoms you’ve had before surgery during your cycle , I hope that helps take care.
@@Maracz47 yeah that worked for me for a bit but then it stopped. Ovaries tend to have a higher tendency to fail at some point after hysterectomy. Mine were already on the decline prior.
Is there research about females that ovulate right before their period?
I am wondering how the ovaries "hibernating" during breastfeeding might compare to a woman on synthetic menses-suppressing birth control? Is breastfeeding hormonal suppression a more protective mechanism for ovaries future use, or is all dormancy possibly detrimental? What if a woman has been breastfeeding for 3 years and no cycle returning since conception? Does this effect the ovaries ability to remember to work? With copper IUD. 🤔
Every woman is so different in regards to breastfeeding, prolactin levels and how that impacts estrogen and progesterone production. I do recommend that women get a hormone baseline and nutrient baseline at least 6 months postpartum. There is a certain level of suppression, not to the same extent as birth control, and by testing your hormone levels you may see how low they are and how it is impacting your quality of life. There are things you can do to support reproductive health while breastfeeding.
This is a great question! Thank you for answering here. So many women struggle with hormones while breastfeeding not just with amenorrhea but also DMER and other mood related issues with the return of their cycles whilst still nursing.
@@dr.elenazinkov7362 Thank you for your time and response! Much appreciated!

Try tryptophan essential amino acids, consume with protein.
@@cheesecakesmellsgood hi which one do you use? Thank you.
@@capellihairextsny hey - I use some random Optimal EAA powder drink with all of them in. I prefer with no aspartame, sucralose & caffeine etc, but they’re all pretty much the same. There are also in pills, but I prefer to chunk all aminos, and around 1-2 hr before bedtime. Also magnesium is good and vitamin B chain. If nothing else helps, vitamin D (separate pill on its own, after consuming fatty food, without taking Vitamin E, A, K at the same time - they block each other out and there’s only one fatty receptor in the stomach) - essential in overall digestion and glutation? production, aids all other metabolic processes that are slowing down with age.
@@capellihairextsny so, protein is broken down into a chain of amino acids, that go into hormone production, organ function, collagen etc, tryptophan gets broken into serotonin and serotonin gets broken into melatonin, hence you fall asleep. Hence why melatonin supplements hardly work, our body needs the entire chain function, so after you consume protein and take EEA’s, like vitamin supplements, these aminos help for the entire chain to function properly. I have also noticed my skin has become smoother all over body.
Soon to be 41. Post menopausal. I wish you guys would have talked about that. :) ovaries removed at 15 I took myself off birth control over a year ago
Wow, you should consider hrt.
Have you tried progesterone? Real progesterone. Not these synthetic ones they force on people.
I wouldn't. Estrogen is carcinogenic.@@iss8504
It’s a bit more complicated than that. Highly recommend the work of Dr. Jenn Simmons in this topic. Considering estrogen metabolites and progesterone in proportion to estrogen is important. Progestins are carcinogenic.
Have you tried progesterone?
So should every woman over the age of 45 be taking DHEA?
Not necessarily, it’s important to test DHEA sulfate serum levels before taking it. Thank you!
@@dr.elenazinkov7362 thank you. And is inositol safe for all women to take?
Inositol is generally safe and can help with sleep and mood. I like d-chiro and myo-inositol together. Of course, talk to your healthcare provider first 😊. Thank you!
Wrong on insulin!
The lack of progesterone, is that the ovaries no long produce the needed levels of progesterone, and women become infertile.
Keep an eye on PMS ( premenstrual syndrome) , the 2 weeks before your period, the more the difficulty with sleep, mood, blotting, cramps, the closer you get to infertility( poor health). YOU NEED PROGESTERONE TO HEAL!!!

I guess myself 20 years
18:02 according to Healthline, (and a dozen or so other websites) women are born with close to 10,000,000 eggs, by 32 this number is decreased to 120,000 and by menopause you will have close to 1000.
I’m questioning this women’s credibility…
Did Healthline talk about the number of eggs lost each month prior to puberty and thereafter? One egg ovulates and about a thousand (in some cases more or less) immature eggs are lost. This is one of the reasons that during the egg retrieval process, not all eggs are viable.
@@dr.elenazinkov7362 yes, as I stated above, at birth women are born with 10,000,000 eggs and from that time it decreases with every year. It’s not just healthline who confirms this, but every single other website I went to (both holistic and allopathic) stated roughly the same number.
The Dr. in this video incorrectly stated that women are born with 1,000 eggs TOTAL. She didn’t say, “Women are born with 10,000,000 eggs but not all of them will be viable.”. She didn’t even allude to the fact that she was talking about viable eggs, whatsoever.
Even still, 1000 viable eggs would still be a grossly exaggerated number. According to Medical News Today, at 32 ab average women has 120,000 eggs and a 20% chance per cycle to get pregnant. That would indicate she has roughly 24,000 viable eggs still left.
@@dr.elenazinkov7362 yes, as I explained in my previous comment, you are born with 10 million eggs, and year over year this number decreases, so by the age of 32 this number will have decreased to 120,000. This decrease is obviously do to your monthly menstrual cycle.
In this interview, Dr Alayna was asked if women are born with millions of eggs, and she said with a firm stance, “No, women are born with 1000 eggs.” This is factually incorrect and can be debunked with within seconds. She didn’t even alluded to the fact that she might be talking about egg viability, but even if she was, having 1000 eggs is indicative of a women in menopause.
You’re arguing a completely different topic, egg viability, which neither she, nor I even bring up…but since you went there.
Even if we take 1000 eggs as the viable amount of eggs that number is still grossly under exaggerated.
A simple Google search will tell you that a 32 year old woman will have 20% chance of conceiving each menstrual cycle. This means that 20% of her 120,000 eggs are still viable. This leaves us with 24,000 viable eggs.
I’m not sure what your trying to argue here, but the fact of the matter is that she was wrong by a longshot on her statement of the number of eggs a woman is born with.
yes as I explained in my previous comment, you are born with 10 million eggs, and year over year this number decreases so by the age of 32 this number will have decreased to 120,000. This decrease is obviously do to your monthly menstrual cycle.
In this interview, Dr Alayna was asked if women are born with millions of eggs, and she said with a firm stance, “No, women are born with 1000 eggs.” This is factually incorrect and can be debunked with within seconds. She didn’t even alluded to the fact that she might be talking about egg viability, but even if she was, having 1000 eggs is indicative of a women in menopause.
You’re arguing a completely different topic, egg viability, which neither she, nor I even bring up…but since you went there.

She said she recommends 30-40g of protein, then she says she recommends 1g of protein per lb of weigh? Maybe she meant kg and not lbs?
30, 4x a day
She was referring to each meal. (Context)
@@maplenook30 grams protein 4 times a day?
Why are young women getting so much filler? I don’t think it looks like you think it looks.
I don’t know but I just can’t take them seriously. 😳
That vocal fry is nails on a chalkboard
Amh is skewed in birth control

right?
Can you do an episode on vaginal odors?
My ex girlfriend had the smelliest vagina ever. Was really difficult to keep an erection during sex. I have encountered similar issues with other women in the past. Infact, I can only think of one or two that didn’t have any odor at all.
It’s a real problem and it needs to be addressed. I think women are oblivious to it, they can’t smell themselves or something.
Is it something they are eating? Maybe they don’t wash their yoga pants enough?
Flat out poor hygiene?
Most likely a combination of all.
Some of it is diet, some of it is untreated bacterial imbalance. Bacteria in the vagina is good and actually needed ! But the wrong bacteria is bad. Alsooo sometimes if her partner has bad bacteria on him, the vagina is very sensitive to this and it will create an infection in her. women are MUCH more susceptible to infection than men
It’s either bacterial/fungal infection or poor diet. In many cases, men are the ones who are actually infect their partners. Vaginal flora is very sensitive to bacteria/fungal changes. For instance, candida type of fungus is not a problem for a man and you don’t even know you have it, but for a girl it can become a huge issue and cause a lot of discomfort including bad odour. I’d say you should do a few swabs on yourself first. Especially if you think every girl smells, that may mean you are the one who have the problem but you can only smell it when the bacteria mix with the girls bacteria. Alternatively lol, you were just picking dirty chics 😂
@@xmyxymx I suspect it’s not an issue on my end. I’m overly hygienic. But, I do have a highly sensitive nose. And I notice the smells before I have sex with them.
Most girls have an unpleasant smell to me, but maybe they are just a normal smelling vag’s to most people.
My last girlfriend was the worst I’ve encountered. I remembered the first time we showered together, I was soaping her up and when I tried to wash her vag, she almost bit my head off. She explained to me that “vaginas are never supposed to be washed” and that “they clean themselves automatically.”
So I’m assuming it’s a combo of zero hygiene and diet.
@@user-hn9fr7mn3x I guess a "vegan" should have been been an automatic red flag 🙈 yeah, no, definitely poor hygiene. I have a pretty strong sense of smell, people would refer to it as "sensitive", but in my opinion, It's just normal and what it should be. So many people have issues with their bodies and they have no clue. the same applies to vaginas. Ladies have no idea they have problems and that any bad smell is not OK, the absolute majority are extremely uneducated when it comes to whats normal and whats not.. even basic genitals hygiene is a rocket science for many. I smell really bad things at a gym (private parts wise, not just sweat) on regular basis, it's terrible. Vagina shouldn't smell like anything bad, occasionally it's ok to have a little stronger or "different" smell due to some specific foods/supplements, but generally, it should have a natural "acidic" kinda smell that shouldn't seem to be fetid. while it's true that vaginas are sort of "self cleansing", this applies to the inside, the actual vagina part of the genitalia. the external genital area, however, known as the vulva, can be washed with mild soap and water as part of regular hygiene practices. This helps to keep the area clean and free from any external debris, sweating, or odor-causing bacteria etc.
You gotta understand, these days, not only the fact that most people eat total crap allowing for bad pathogens (bacteria/fungus) to thrive in dark moist places, but also we expose these parts to synthetic underwear that doesn't absorb the moisture and doesn't "breath", we wear synthetic pads/liners (and most girls don't change it in time, it's only meant to stay in there for a few hours max), + period bleeding discharges etc + summer/hot weather etc + synthetic pants etc - all of that creates conditions for bad bacteria to overgrow and make it smell really bad. then we go to a gynecologist and they don't ever test anything and just tell us you're fine. SO no wonder many have this problem and have no idea. then some tiktoker tells girls it's fine, don't use soap, and there they go 🙈
@@user-hn9fr7mn3xShe is right that the inside will flush itself out. Also regular soap isnt Ph balance and could have fragrance or other irritants that could irritate a sensitive area like her crotch.
There are specific soaps for privates women can buy but some doctors tell women to just rinse with water. Maybe thats her, she is sweaty or she could wash around it but as other have stated, there could be a bacterial (like bacterial vaginosis) or fungal issue (like a yeast infection), maybe some sort of urinary tract infection. Im sure it could also be affected by peoples diet and or hormones as well.
Dude u need to rearrange the way u sit with your guests omggg sitting side by side us so bad for your necks!!
She forgot to talk about how fillers and plastic surgery affect hormones also 😬
Ha. Yep.
Yes. Like how injecting 💉 botox in your lips can affect your hormones. And make an otherwise pretty girl look ridiculous
She's Russian. Fillers and botox are their vitamin C.
and also being 2% body fat
Yes like botox in the lips 💋
It's such a shame that smart women like this Dr distort their face using terrible lip fillers. I can't take her seriously looking at the upper lip.
Agreed.
Don't be so shallow, looks don't matter
@@GuitarSamurai17 You can take Russian out of Russia, but...
The Kardashian effect 😖
Agree, and the vocal fryyyyy
Is she a Doctor?
All estrogens are converted from testosterone.
Also, hormonal birth control is not all the same. If you are going into menopause, transdermal birth control can absolutely make your life better and even out crazy perimenopause symptoms. If you understand what is going on, you can avoid a lot of the craziness with the hormones fluctuating a lot. The idea that soy and phytoestrogens work is laughable. They are about 1000x weaker than endogenous estrogen and rarely will ever couple with estrogen receptors.
Lack of hormones is fixed by providing the missing hormones. Don't think otherwise. The only time the medical profession will tell you that you can use X instead of a missimg hormone is only for estrogen, progesterone, testosterone for women. If you are missing thyroid hormone, they give you thyroid hormone. Ditto insulin. Sex hormones for women however are not treated as essential. Menopause can be disabling. The 25% who are lucky and have intracrine systems that make sufficient estrogen at the tissue level should not be setting the rules for the rest of us ie 75%. Only 10% of women even treat their symptoms.
Thank you for your comment. I have been unable to find any research on whether topical estriol estradiol and progesterone down, regulate your bodies, natural production as you know when men take testosterone their natural production stops. ❤
And you know estrogen is carcinogenic, right? And what did people do before synthetic garbage?
Hasn't (post menopausal) HRT been implicated as a major cancer driver recently? Genuinely asking.
None of the professionals seem to know the answer as to whether or not topical estriol or estradiol stops natural production, as is the case with testosterone, supplementation in males
She needs to see a speech therapist for that vocal fry.
Yeah, I tried. I can go to the park in a few weeks to listen to toads if I want to.
@MarionMM
And you, sweetheart, need to see a therapist, as well - (for obvious reasons)
Btw, are you offensive like this towards others IRL?? (i doubt it, bc here you are with your nasty comments hiding anonymously behind your weaponized keyboard). I doubt that you are brave enough to be this offensive toward someone you are face-to-face with.
Typical cowardly behavior on SM from jealous, bitter, people who cannot hide their hostility, or even want to try to...
Pretty sad😒
Im pretty sure id be more depressed if i looked like a dude to be honest
She got some nerve . People not comfortable in there own skin? Lady look in the mirror.
