Cheryl Sew Hoy, Founder of Tiny Health, on microbiomes, fertility and her own miscarriages

Infertile AF: Infertility and Modern Family Building

What do you know about the vaginal microbiome? What does your vaginal microbiome have to do with your ability to conceive? Ali didn't know much about this, and is still learning, thanks to today's guest, Cheryl Sew Hoy, CEO and Founder of Tiny Health. Cheryl, a longtime entrepreneur and women's health advocate, explains how the microbiome impacts well-being and fertility. She talks about prioritizing her career for years, having her two kids via C-section, what the term "vaginal seeding" means, and more recently, the heartbreak she's experienced having two miscarriages.
