Your vagina is essential for life.
I’ve made this announcement at international medical conferences with more than 400 male physicians in attendance.
Their reaction: some laughs and many eye rolls!
Regardless, it is true.
We wouldn’t be here if women didn’t have vaginas.
Our children’s lives begin there.
Sexual pleasure and bonding happen there.
After your hormones begin changing, your health “down there” starts changing.
Maybe it’s possible for you to relate to Julie, a 57-year-old teacher.
She was really struggling at this time of her life.
She felt her second marriage was about to fall apart.
She had zero sex drive.
She told me, “And what’s worse, I leak urine when I attempt to exercise.”
As she said, “My get-up-and-go got up and left!”
You’re dry “down there,” and often it’s difficult or painful to have intercourse.
But once you take action to resolve dryness, you’ll feel sexually reborn and your libido will return.
Minimize toxic exposures to your delicate lady parts.
These can all be very irritating.
Tampons, liners, and pads can also be laden with hormone-disrupting chemicals and GMOs.
They can also cause tissue trauma and irritation.
Include essential fats and probiotics in your diet.
By following the Keto-Green Diet and lifestyle, you’ll automatically be feeding your body these vital nutrients.
Probiotics support healthy bacteria in your vagina.
Use natural lubricants and vaginal moisturizing creams.
Nonhormonal vaginal lubricants and moisturizers help reduce dryness.
Lubricants are applied just before sex; moisturizers are applied more regularly, for longer-term relief.
Both are helpful, but they do not “cure” vaginal dryness and other symptoms of atrophy.
Even so, consider natural options like Good Clean Love and Yes products.
Both are paraben-free with clean ingredients and come in both water-based and oil-based options.
These do not contain the additional chemicals but offer satisfactory moisturizing benefits.

A word of caution: Never apply essential oils directly on the vaginal or vulvar skin.
