Our guest today is here is unveil the truth behind this mystery of this microbiome. Danni Bichler, a Clinical Naturopath and Pain Reprocessing Therapy practitioner, is passionate about personalised healthcare that provides real, long-lasting results.
She specialises in all things women's health including hormonal imbalances, and pelvic pain. Her practice blends that traditional herbal knowledge with modern science and functional testing to treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms.
Today we deep dive into all areas of the vaginal microbiome and I ask her those awkward questions, that I don’t feel comfortable discussing with my friends.

Often overshadowed by the more well-known endometriosis, adenomyosis is a condition that brings a double dose of trouble to its sufferers. They face not only the usual dismissal and underestimation of their pain but also a higher rate of misdiagnosis.
Given the lack of awareness and education around it, you might think adenomyosis is rare. However, it affects about 1 in 5 women. So why is it so poorly understood? The answer lies in insufficient education and a lack of research on the subject.
This is why I sat down with Anna, who has been navigating this condition since her teens and is now witnessing her daughter endure the same symptoms. In our conversation, Anna candidly shares the challenging journey to get a diagnosis and her hopes for the future—that her daughter won't have to experience the same painful path.

Today, we're bringing you an incredible story that will leave you speechless.
Throughout her pregnancy, Caitlin experienced puzzling symptoms, only to be brushed off by medical professionals. Despite this, she welcomed her beautiful baby into the world.

But this discovery is just the beginning of Caitlin's health journey. Despite facing dismissal and enduring debilitating symptoms and pain, she has relentlessly advocated for her body. Her story serves as a powerful reminder to listen to your body, speak up for yourself, and advocate for your health. After all, no one knows your body better than you do.
