    33. STIs, Sexual Shame & Healing Your Vagina Holistically with The Yoni Nutritionist, Adrienne Rommel

    enSeptember 27, 2021

    About this Episode

    In this week's episode we're talking with The Yoni Nutritionist Adrienne Rommel about one of the most taboo topics out there, sexually transmitted illnesses, specifically HPV and Herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2).

    WARNING: This is a real, raw and open conversation. If you have children around you may want to pop in some headphones or listen later. However, we believe ANYONE with a vagina needs to hear this episode!

    Adrienne Rommel is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Women’s Health Coach who helps women heal their vagina's naturally. She specifically works with women on managing and eliminating symptoms of common, chronic vaginal infections like yeast infections, candida overgrowth, bacterial vaginosis, HPV, herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2), and UTI’s. 

    In this episode we talk about:
    - Adrienne's journey with her vaginal health
    - the shame and stigma around STIs
    - why genital herpes is such a "dirty" word but cold sores are generally viewed as acceptable (even though they're both the herpes virus)
    - diet and lifestyle changes you can make to help alleviate symptoms of HSV, HPV, BV, yeast infections and UTIs
    - why more needs to be done to support newly diagnosed people specifically around mental health

    Please know, if you've been diagnosed or experienced any of these things, support is available and we're here for you!
