Welcome to our whole person care webinar series on vaginal health in menopause. Each series of webinars includes three focused 30-minute sessions that unlock practical strategies in labs, supplement ingredients, and lifestyle medicine, empowering you to provide truly comprehensive care.
Session #1: Testing Strategies For Genitourinary Syndrome Of Menopause
Speaker: Dr. Lylen Ferris, ND
Director of Clinical Education, Doctor’s Data
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affects up to 50% of postmenopausal women, yet it remains underdiagnosed. Declining estrogen and imbalances in other hormones contribute to vaginal atrophy, tissue changes, and genitourinary discomfort. This presentation explores the pathophysiology of GSM and introduces the Comprehensive Hormone Plus Profile, a non-invasive salivary test for assessing hormonal imbalances. We will discuss indications for testing, collection nuances, and clinical applications.
Key Points
- Discuss genitourinary symptoms of menopause (i.e., vaginal atrophy or atrophic vaginitis).
- Review the pathophysiology, including the role of various hormones.
- Introduce the Doctor’s Data Comprehensive Hormone Plus Profile and discuss the indications for testing, reported information, and various nuances of the collection process.
Session #2: Elevating Women’s Health Through Optimizing The Female Microbiome
Speaker: Jennifer Olson, MNT, BCHN
Clinical Liaison, Microbiome Labs
The vaginal microbiome is a unique aspect of the female microbiome that warrants careful study and evaluation. There are distinctive patterns in the vaginal microbiome associated with a greater risk for vaginal dysbiosis and more serious health risks. This has led to the emergence of strain-specific probiotics that can have been researched and shown to support the female microbiome.
Key Points:
- The characteristics of a healthy vs. dysbiotic vaginal microbiome
- How the vaginal microbiome can be classified to better assess health risk
- Insights into clinically backed probiotic strains for improving vaginal health
