What you will learn

  • Course Summary

  • We have not been listening well to the signs the vulvovaginal anatomy have been giving us about women’s health. Currently when a woman presents with vaginitis, vulvovaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic pain or even an STD, the conversation and therapy is limited to a small number of microbes and pharmaceutical antimicrobial agents. Through her decade of clinical exploration with her patients, Dr. Prativadi reveals that the vulvovaginal anatomy often gives the first signs of gut dysbiosis, immune, skin, neurologic and digestive dysfunction. Common gynecologic visits offer immense opportunities to intervene in women’s health from a cardio-metabolic-endo-enteral-immune standpoint. Through patient stories and outcomes, research on microbiome, inflammasomes and more, explore the role of the vagina beyond sex and birth to understand the power of nutrition and the gut-vagina connection. She shares specific history-taking, exam skills and nutrition plans to help your patients functionally and integratively.
    By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

    • Identify vulvovaginal anatomy signs and related symptoms to recognize deeper dysfunction, dysbiosis, cardiometabolic conditions and chronic inflammatory conditions
    • Explain how to elicit an expanded history for gut dysbiosis, liver dysfunction, nutritional deficits and nutritional assessments to more meaningfully address a woman's health integratively, functionally and holistically
    • Identify specific nutrition and lifestyle approaches to heal your female patient's complaints beyond sex and birth
