Let's face it ladies, we've come a really long way. Or have we? Well…when it comes to condoms, maybe not so much.

• Only 1 in 4 men puts on a condom for a one nighter.
• Only 1 in 5 of single ladies insists on condom use.
• 1 in 4 women gets an STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) in her first year of college.
• Condoms, lubes, tampons, and other products we're putting into our vaginas are loaded with toxic chemicals.

It's time for a change for our own health, and if you have daughters, you'll want them to know about this, too.

My guest on Natural MD Radio, Meika Hollender, is all about making change in women's health and I'm really excited to have her on the show. Meika is the co-founder of one of the most innovative women's health companies out there – Sustain Natural – and she's an advocate for ending the stigmas surrounding us taking control of our health.
