Hormonally Speaking

Sign-up for Sleep: How To Get It - And How To Keep It - All Night! here.

A lot of women struggle to get the correct diagnosis from doctors concerning menstrual and reproductive issues. Often, it can take a decade or more to find out what is happening.

Something we’ve never covered on the podcast before is Lichen Sclerosus, an autoimmune disorder of the vulva that is majorly under-diagnosed. That’s why I am super excited to chat with Jaclyn Lanthier to go in-depth about this topic. Jacqueline Lanthier is the founder of the Lost Labia Chronicles, a content hub for lichen sclerosus information and education.

What We Talk About:

✨Jaclyn’s journey with lichen sclerosus.

✨What lichen sclerosus is and what it looks like in women.

✨What is the lead-up to lichen sclerosus symptoms.

✨What chronic pain and sexual dysfunction look like, and how to come out on the other side.

For those suffering with lichen sclerosus, this episode will help you find more information on the issue, provide you with a community to join, and help you learn tools to manage the symptoms. Even if you don’t have it, you are going to learn so much and have your mind blown!
