If you’re a woman who struggles with pain and discomfort during intimacy, you’re not alone. There are a multitude of conditions that limit women in terms of intimacy, and they suffer in silence. In this episode, we’re diving into this topic and sharing possible solutions. As women age and go through menopause, they experience significant shifts in their hormones. These shifts, such as the loss of estrogen, can lead to vaginal dryness and other issues of sexual dysfunction. The good news is that

We’re continuing our conversation about concierge medical practices this week. There were a few reasons I decided to go with a membership practice; the first one being financial survival. Our healthcare system has been compromised, and something has to change. Doctors have almost no choice but to go cash and stop accepting insurance or go concierge to survive. The membership fee isn’t put in place for profit, it’s there for necessity. In an insurance-driven healthcare market, medical providers are

Do you know what the benefits of a concierge medical practice are? There are a few to cover for both doctors and patients. In today's economy, our purchasing power has been reduced. So, everyone wants to know: is a medical practice membership really worth it? The simple answer is that if you can get the same services—quantity and quality—from someone else who does not require a membership, it’s not a good deal. But all medical practices are unique and will provide their own specific services. It

Let’s get back into part two of our discussion about valuable markers to look for when it comes to anti-aging. In the first episode, we covered markers such as a cardiovascular assessment, body composition, and cancer screenings. Both men and women should be undergoing regular colonoscopies to screen for cancer. If possible, opt for a whole-body MRI to screen for various cancers—many can be caught before they become symptomatic. There are also blood tests that can help test for cancers in the very

What are the most valuable things to focus on when making an anti-aging plan with your doctor? In this episode we’re discussing just that. Everyone’s body changes over time, but you can make aging easier if you get support sooner rather than later. Over time, you may start to notice your energy levels decline—and perhaps you are softer in areas than you were before. Weight loss or even maintaining your weight becomes more difficult as we age, and your mood may also change too. Some of these changes

Chronic stress is recognized as a major stress of disability and mortality worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, stress is a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation. Stress is a natural response, and it prompts us to take action under certain circumstances. However, when stress becomes chronic, it can be very damaging to our health. Chronic stress is associated with many different health consequences. What you do, what you think, and how you feel when you’re

In this episode, we’re exploring specific ways you can support this transition. If you want to improve your experience going through perimenopause and menopause, you should first consider how you feel about hormones.

Is there such a thing as preparing for menopause? This is a topic not many people are discussing, but they should be. Menopause impacts women, but that impact will also have an effect on the other people in their lives, like their partner and children. Many women struggle with procrastination when it comes to prioritizing themselves. However, the best thing we can do for ourselves is prepare for menopause early on so we can have the tools to make this transition easier. The first thing you need to

In this episode, we’re continuing our conversation about wellness checks in your 40s. Last time we discussed weight, height, body mass composition, and cardiovascular health. Blood pressure, specifically hypertension, is a silent killer and is another very important aspect of your health that you should know about. Most doctor’s visits are brief. They spend about 15 minutes with you, and they may order some simple blood tests—but they don’t often invest in your longer health journey. Comprehensive

While you might feel like you’re in good health, there are still some key things to pay attention to. The sooner you make these things a priority, the better. In your 40s, look for a doctor that has the energy, time, and dedication to create an aging plan with you. It might cost you to find a physician that can work with

In this episode we’re continuing our discussion of wellness pearls for men and women in their 30s. At this age, you should have no urinary trouble. If you use the bathroom multiple times each night, or you’re dealing with feelings of urgency, you should bring this up to your doctor. This could potentially be a urinary tract infection, which women are more likely to experience overall. Most physicians that complete a wellness exam don’t ask about sexual health—but they should.

What should a physician focus on when their patient is a man or a woman in their 30s? For women, their 30s set the tone for a smooth and easy—or potentially difficult—perimenopause stage. For both men and women, the 30’s should represent a peak in health. Women who are 35 years old and above who are planning on having children should discuss this with their doctor, and the sooner the better. After this point, a woman’s eggs may be of less quality than they once were, and thus conception may be a

Many doctors and health providers of young women are overburdened and overworked. This can cause them to skim over critical aspects for their patients, so it helps to know what to ask for when a wellness check is being done. The more informed you can be as a patient, the more likely you are to receive a better experience. Height, weight, temperature, heart rate, and last menstrual period are crucial starting points of a wellness exam. Though some of these checks, like weight, can make young women

In this episode we’re addressing health in young boys and young men, including what to watch for as far as health checks. The number-one marker for wellness (in both young men and young women) is body composition. This is important to know, as more than 1 in 5 young people struggle with obesity which is associated with serious health issues. 20% of teenagers experience mental health problems in any given year. These problems are often established by age 14. It’s important to check in on the mental

What are the signs of health in a young woman? Each doctor may have a different approach to their wellness exams. Knowing the details of what your health provider offers can help you decide if choosing them is the right option for you. This is especially important for women, whose health needs are highly underserved. Women are usually recommended three specific exams: breast exams, a Papanicolaou (Pap) test, and a general physical.

Be sure to pick a physician who will work with you towards your wellness goals. While it will cost money to do this, you can consider it an investment in your health.

How can you stay healthy in a seemingly uncaring healthcare system? While not every professional in the health space is corrupt or unwilling to help (in fact many are passionate about helping and serving others), the system at large is not designed to allow access to the best possible care. On top of this, many of us are eating food that is overprocessed and lacking in nutrients, which contributes to a host of health-related issues including obesity, arthritis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease

Yet, when you lose your ability to function optimally, you finally have to confront the reality of your health situation.

Why are Americans dealing with so many health issues, including chronic conditions and mental health issues? The first question we need to answer is this: what does it really mean to be healthy? According to the World Health organization, health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing—not just the absence of disease. Only 12% of adults in the US are metabolically healthy, and as a society we are getting sicker and heavier. It’s important for people to work to be at peace in

Our medical system today is quite changed from what it once was—especially since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. Most people pay the equivalent of a monthly mortgage for an insurance plan, and unfortunately, this plan doesn’t provide the same amount of coverage as it once did.
