Dr. Frey and I have worked together through the years and I love her balanced approach and willingness to embrace integrative care for the benefit of the patient. We had so much great content we split our convo into 2 parts.
In part 1, we dive into vaginal dryness, libido, treating painful penetrative intercourse and more. In my experience concerns with vaginal/vulvar symptoms top the list of fears around aging - so please listen because treatment options are available and work extremely well!

My Guest:
Dr. Gretchen Frey
I was born in the Chicago suburbs and moved to northern Colorado just before high school. I attended Colorado State University and then the University of Colorado School of Medicine, followed by residency in OB/GYN which was also with the CU program.
I began my obstetrics and gynecology practice in Littleton, CO in 1989. I gradually became more interested in integrative medicine, which I utilized during the following years in solo and later group OBGYN practice settings. I practiced office-only gynecology from 2010 until 2019, and I am now retired from clinical practice.
