Next to hormonal disturbance, urinary tract infections are the most common complaint I hear about in my women-centered integrative nutrition practice. Moreover, I’ve dealt with several UTIs myself and know personally how uncomfortable, limiting and persistent they can be.

Western physicians almost always prescribe antibiotics for UTI… But what happens when they don’t work? Or, when they don’t eradicate the entirety of the infection? And what about the devastating effects of antibiotics - and especially repeat antibiotics - on gut health? These questions are imperative to consider in an increasingly antibiotic resistant landscape.
