Her House celebrates innovations that are shaping the future of women’s health. For decades, medical research and clinical trials overlooked differences in women, assuming their bodies mirrored men's.
If you've ever felt dismissed or been told, "it's just hard being a woman," you're not alone. Thankfully, growing awareness, investment, and research are transforming how we understand, diagnose, and care for women.
We're approaching a new era — one built for women's health — and we can't stop talking about it.
The First Drug-Free Treatment for Vaginal Infections
Vaginal infections are equally common and uncomfortable. Dr. Kim Langdon, former OB-GYN and founder of Coologics, joins Her House to unpack why conditions like yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis remain so persistent — and why current treatments are increasingly falling short.
From her own experience as both a patient and physician, Dr. Langdon shares how frustration with outdated, drug-heavy solutions led her to develop a completely new, drug-free approach. We dive into the science behind vaginal microbiome balance, the growing problem of antifungal resistance, and how a simple shift in temperature may offer a breakthrough in treatment — and even prevention of more serious outcomes like preterm birth.
We can’t stop talking about:
Why vaginal infections are so common
The limitations (and declining effectiveness) of current antifungal treatments
How cooling-based technology may reverse infections by restoring the body’s natural balance
The connection between vaginal health, inflammation, and serious risks like preterm birth
Historical dismissal of women’s health — from clinical research gaps to fundraising challenges
