Menopause vagina stuff with Dr Burt Webb

A red-hot podcast sneak peek and subscriber-only edited transcript

Dr Burt Webb is an Arizona-based ob-gyn and intimate wellness specialist with a holistic approach to women’s health.

He joins the Hotflash inc podcast to talk about how our entire body plays a role in our vaginal health – and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). With almost 30 years in practice treating women, he is one of the most switched-on mainstream practitioners to appear on the podcast. 

Very few people in this space are talking about whole-body health vis-a-vis the vagina and vulva. 

Contrary to the prevailing narrative – oh how I love a counter-narrative – in his experience, a dry vagina isn’t always just a dry vagina due to menopause. Vagina stuff is about more than hormones. And he gets us real clear on the additional – or main – culprits.

This is a fascinating conversation and the first-ever two-part episode. (Next week we get into treatments, from hormone therapy to sound waves. Really).

I need to let you know that I was so impressed with Dr Webb that I asked him to be on my Hotflash inc expert panel — and he said yes.

If you have had any issues with the constellation of symptoms that is GSM —or you work with people who do – you are going to want to hear this and listen back in next week.

And stay tuned to hear me compare vaginal lubrication to cheesecloth, as well as the most inadvertently hilarious opening exchange in 84 episodes of recording.
