Why Gut Health Matters for Women in Menopause
Why Gut Health Matters for Vaginal Health
Your gut and vagina are more connected than you think.
💬 In our latest expert interview, we sat down with microbiome specialist Dragana Skokovic-Sunjic to talk all things gut and vaginal health—and why supporting your gut can make a major difference in preventing vaginal infections, maintaining pH balance, and improving overall wellness (yes, including libido 💥).
Dragana Skokovic-Sunjic is a Clinical Pharmacist and internationally recognized expert in the human microbiome, with a special focus on probiotics and women’s health. She is the author of the Clinical Guide to Probiotic Products Available in Canada, used by healthcare professionals nationwide. Dragana is known for translating complex microbiome science into practical strategies for improving gut, vaginal, and overall health. She frequently speaks at international conferences and serves as an advisor on evidence-based probiotic use and microbiome support.
Here’s what we learned:
✨ A healthy gut microbiome supports a balanced vaginal microbiome
✨ Disruptions in gut bacteria (hello antibiotics, stress, poor diet) can throw off vaginal health
✨ Probiotics and nutrition play key roles in restoring balance
✨ Supporting your gut = supporting your immune system, mood, and hormones
🧠Your gut and vagina communicate through the immune system, nervous system, and even the microbiome highway (yep, that’s real).
