Martha talks with the informative & entertaining Dr. Wendy Chorny about the aging vagina, what that means, why it happens & how you can sustain the hydration & health of those delicate tissues, and:
- What do the Lion King (and existential dread) have to do with your perimenopause experience?
- And what’s really important about being 35 & why might you want to text your young friends after you listen to this?

She is an educator and author, affiliated with the University of Dayton & currently doing research on Diastasis Recti in Women.
