Fertility and the vaginal microbiome with Debbie Cotton

Welcome to the latest series of Fertility Foundations, where we speak in depth with expert guests about how to prepare the foundations for healthy pregnancy. This week Sandra Greenbank is talking to Debbie Cotton, Head of Clinical Innovation at Invivo Healthcare, about the vaginal microbiome and how this can affect fertility.

In this episode Sandra and Debbie discuss the significance of the vaginal microbiome in fertility, looking at its impact on reproductive health. They highlight the importance of understanding and working with one's vaginal microbiome for optimal fertility outcomes, and provide insights into the role of nutritional therapy, microbiome testing and the potential harmful effects of conventional period products on not just the vaginal microbiome but also overall health.
