ENCORE: Practical Solutions to a Condition that Plagues Millions of Women: Urinary Incontinence, Part 1 February 16, 2023 Female Incontinence: It’s time it came out of the shadows, given that nearly 1/2 of women will suffer from it to some extent during their lifetimes. It can cause depression, isolation, and shame, and prompt women to limit essential hydration. Urogynecologist Dr. Jill Rabin, co-author of "Mind Over Bladder: A Step-By-Step Guide to Achieving Continence" argues that women should not be resigned to incontinence—it can be overcome in a majority of cases. Starting with simple, practical lifestyle interventions, graduating to specialized behavior modification and pelvic floor strengthening techniques, and using medications and surgery only where necessary, a variety of solutions are available. New minimally invasive corrective surgeries obviate the need for lengthy hospitalization and recovery. An innovative new technique, Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) borrows from acupuncture to deliver painless electrical stimulation to re-establish urinary control. Click HERE for part 2.

A Comprehensive Strategy for Menopause, Part 1 January 31, 2023 There’s apprehension about the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR)—are we about to enter the dystopian future world of The Matrix? But today’s guest, Dr. Joseph Feuerstein, discusses the innovative application of AI and VR to a common problem: menopausal hot flashes in women for whom estrogen is contraindicated because of the risk of cancer. Using a VR headset, menopausal women were presented guided imagery featuring cooling and relaxing suggestions. A pilot study showed it reduced the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, improved sleep quality, and enhanced overall well-being. Dr. Feuerstein discusses a comprehensive strategy for menopause, comprising acupuncture, natural products (Estrovera and Relizen), exercise and diet. Are soy isoflavones OK for relieving menopausal symptoms, even in breast cancer patients? Dr. Feuerstein is also co-author of "The Cannabinoid Cookbook," which is not merely a guidebook to marijuana edibles; instead, it focuses on the numerous foods that support the body’s endocannabinoid system—Including cocoa, omega-3 fatty acids, turmeric, and truffles. These foods deliver compounds which confer a multiplicity of mood and anti-inflammatory benefits. Click HERE for part 2.
