Bacterial Vaginosis & the Vaginal Microbiome: The BV Big 5 | Practitioner Webinar

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the most common vaginal conditions, yet recurrent BV can be difficult to resolve when treatment focuses only on reducing bacterial abundance without considering the wider vaginal microbiome and microbial environment. As more practitioners use vaginal microbiome testing, there is a growing need to understand not only which bacteria are present, but how they behave, interact and contribute to persistence, recurrence and symptoms. This 90-minute practitioner webinar provides a detailed exploration of five key microbes commonly implicated in bacterial vaginosis, including their metabolites, microbial interactions and ecological significance within the vaginal environment. The webinar also explores how these patterns can be approached using evidence-informed, integrative and clinically applicable strategies, with a focus on supporting environmental repair and reducing recurrence.

Hormones and the Vaginal Microbiome

6 month access: The vaginal microbiome does not exist independently of the hormonal environment. Estrogen, progesterone, androgens and their changing relationships influence vaginal tissue health, microbial communities and ecological stability. In this 90-minute practitioner webinar, Dr Moira Bradfield Strydom (PhD) explores the research connecting hormonal physiology with vaginal microbial ecology. What we'll explore: How estrogen, progesterone and androgens shape vaginal ecology. Menstrual cycle changes and microbial fluctuations. Pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal contraception, menopausal hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen, DHEA and testosterone. Interpreting hormone profiles alongside vaginal microbiome findings, tissue health and symptoms. Includes: A 90-minute recorded webinar, downloadable slides and research references. For naturopaths and other health practitioners working in vaginal and genitourinary health.

My Vaginal Microbiome: Breaking the cycle of recurrent thrush

Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis is a chronic subtype of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC)/Thrush. Often people experience these symptoms with increasing frequency and only limited long term response to treatments. Assessing and supporting the whole person with consideration for their vaginal microbiome, lifestyle, hormones, immune system, stress, metabolic and gastrointestinal health can support individuals in breaking recurrent symptom patterns.Join Intimate Ecology for an evening of education and inspiration as you learn about potential influences on recurrent thrush (RVVC).

Pregnancy and the Vaginal Microbiome

Webinar Details Join Moira and Rhiannon for this engaging two hour webinar providing key insight into the essential and sometimes detrimental role of the vaginal microbiome in preconception, pregnancy and birth, including assessment strategies and clinical gems for best management. Pregnancy is a uniquely demanding time, where nutritional, immune and inflammatory factors are of utmost importance for gestational success and parental & offspring outcomes. We now know that the vaginal microbiome significantly influences endometrial, placental and foetal microbe diversity, and plays an integral role in maintaining a pregnancy, protecting against placental dysfunction and pregnancy loss, as well as foetal immune maturation. This area is of significant interest to all practitioners working in the preconception and pregnancy space, as safe and effective therapies, as well as the capacity to make risk-benefit analysis decisions in individual circumstances.

Recurrent Thrush & RVVC Practitioner Course | Intimate Ecology

Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), commonly known as recurrent thrush, can challenge even experienced clinicians. Too often it is approached as a simple Candida or microbial problem, when persistent and recurrent symptoms may involve a much broader interaction between the vaginal microbiome, mucosal environment, immune function, hormones, metabolic factors and other systemic drivers. This 2 hr practitioner education webinar expands the clinical lens beyond repeated antifungal treatment and explores how to assess more complex recurrent thrush presentations in a structured, evidence informed way. Using real-life case studies and clinical results, the webinar examines how to interpret patterns, identify contributing factors and develop more individualised management strategies for people experiencing recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. Designed for practitioners working with vaginal health, Candida and vaginal microbiome presentations. Includes 6 months of access.

Ureaplasma in the Vaginal Microbiome: Treat or Not? | Practitioner Mini Course

Ureaplasma (and Mycoplasma) is frequently detected on vaginal microbiome and PCR testing, but a positive result does not automatically mean it is causing symptoms or requires treatment. This concise practitioner mini course explores how to think more critically about Ureaplasma within the vaginal microbiome, including colonisation versus clinical relevance, microbial context, symptoms, vaginal ecology and when treatment may or may not be appropriate. The course includes a focused 5 minute clinical discussion together with written guidance designed to support practical interpretation in clinic. Rather than treating the organism in isolation, the emphasis is on understanding Ureaplasma within the broader vaginal ecosystem and making more considered, individualised clinical decisions. Useful for practitioners working with vaginal microbiome testing, recurrent vaginal symptoms, bacterial vaginosis, vaginal dysbiosis and complex microbiome results.
