96. Thrush, BV & Vaginal Health: Amelia Probiotic with Catherine Slogrove

If you keep treating thrush or BV and it STILL comes back… it’s not you. It’s your microbiome.

Vaginal health is one of the most common and most misunderstood areas of women’s wellbeing.

And for so many women, the pattern is the same:

Thrush → treatment → relief → repeat.
BV → antibiotics → relief → repeat.

You treat it.
It goes away.
You breathe again.
And then it returns.

And the cycle becomes not just physical…
but emotional, exhausting, and incredibly isolating.

If that’s you, you’re not alone and you’re not doing anything “wrong.”

Most women simply haven’t been taught that these recurrent issues are often signs of a disrupted vaginal microbiome, not a one-off infection.

In this episode, I sit down with Catherine, the founder of Amelia,  a science-backed vaginal probiotic created for real women dealing with real symptoms.

Her story, her mission, and her product?
Game-changing.

🩸Why thrush and BV keep returning, even after medication
Not your fault. Not bad luck.
Your vaginal microbiome is sending SOS signals no one taught you to interpret.

🩸The truth about antibiotics that no one explains
They clear an infection, but often wipe your beneficial bacteria with it, leaving your vagina vulnerable and unprotected.

🩸What’s actually going on inside your vaginal microbiome
Lactobacilli (your good bacteria) are your body’s natural defence system and when they drop?
Everything feels off.

🩸The emotional toll of vaginal discomfort
You question yourself.
You avoid intimacy.
You start feeling “broken.”
Catherine and I name this openly, because women deserve better than silent suffering.

🩸Why a vaginal-specific probiotic is NOT the same as a gut probiotic
Different strains. Different purposes. Different outcomes.
Amelia was formulated to restore balance where it matters most.

🩸What every woman should look for if symptoms keep coming back
Hormonal shifts, stress cycles, hygiene misconceptions, sex patterns, diet, medication, we break it down without shame or judgement.

This isn’t just an episode about thrush and BV.

It’s a call to action for every woman to understand her vagina with depth, accuracy, and respect, not fear.

You deserve answers.
You deserve education.
And you deserve a body that feels good, not just “managed.”

This episode is that missing conversation.
