The Balance Theory
Chloe Chivers on the link between gut & vaginal health + the Horopito plant
Today I am joined by naturopath Chloe Chivers for a deep dive into some interesting topics in female health. We have a big chat today about vaginal health, the common issues women experience like thrush and how to be preventative as well as treatment, the impact of diet on the balance down there and the way antibiotics play with our bacteria.
We also have a whole section on cyclical living - whether that be with the moon, your period or other natural seasons, as a really grounding practice to live more aligned with nature. She shares the intelligence behind the Horopito plant and how it's natural adaption has something incredible to offer for our health.
We also end on a chat about conception and fertility - is there anything we can be doing before we even think of falling pregnant or as we are trying to optimise this experience? How soon before and more!
I know you will get a lot out of today's chat! You can connect with Chloe more via the Kolorex website.
Tag us @thebalancetheory and let us know what your biggest takeaways were!
Until next time,
Stay Balanced.
