- Vaginal health is an important part of women’s health at every age, but it’s something we still don’t talk about nearly enough. In this episode, I’m joined by Wendy Strgar, founder of Good Clean Love and Vaginal Biome Science, to talk about what happens to vaginal health during perimenopause and menopause, the role of estrogen and the vaginal microbiome, and how women can feel more comfortable and informed in their bodies. We also dive into vaginal care, intimacy, arousal, and why our sex lives don’t have to change just because we’re getting older.
Wendy Strgar is an award-winning entrepreneur and women’s health innovator who pioneered BioMatched® technology and has led groundbreaking research on the vaginal microbiome.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing what happened when a three-mile walk in 101-degree heat left me dehydrated and weak, and the perspective it gave me on getting older. There’s so much wisdom that comes from experiencing life, and I’m breaking down the things I think we need to be especially mindful of at this stage, from fighting preventable decline to keeping our bodies and brains strong.

She shares what happened, how she navigated heartbreak, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust, and why she ultimately chose to fight for her marriage. We also talk about how that experience inspired her debut novel, Beyond Betrayal, as well as faith, female friendship, healthy aging, and finding purpose and hope later in life.
Danna is a former R.N., Christian author, speaker, and wellness educator, and the author of several books on health, wellness, and personal transformation, including Eat Live Thrive Diet.

About Over 50 & Flourishing with Dominique Sachse
Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!
