Menopause and perimenopause bring with them major changes to the pelvic region, specifically to the vagina.  The vaginal walls can thin and atrophy, making intercourse difficult and even painful.  There is also an increase in recurrent vaginitis and urinary tract infections. So what causes these changes to occur, and what can you do about them or even prevent them from becoming a problem?

On this episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, I’m joined by the nation’s first female board certified urogynecologist.  She’ll give us the latest information on holistic health of the pelvic region, including why changes in pH and bacteria inside the vagina can create major impacts. We’ll discuss why she doesn’t recommend estrogen pills, which topical products she does recommend, and she’ll give us the straight scoop on vaginal rejuvenation lasers. Are they really all that?

This is a discussion that all women, whether pre-, peri-, or post-menopause, should hear.

Please join me and board-certified gynecologist Dr. Betsy Greenleaf as we cover Holistic Pelvic Health – How to Deal with the Changes that Happen “Down There.”

How we eat can be as important as what we eat.

As a society, we are placing less and less emphasis on the timeless tradition of enjoying a good meal with good company.  We eat while driving, watching TV, or staring at our phones.

But how does this affect our health, our weight, and our relationships?

My guest this week is a clinical psychologist who has dedicated her career to encouraging the practice of eating mindfully.  She’s found in her practice that mindless eating is a major cause of anxiety, weight gain, relationship issues, and even hanger- the combination of hunger and anger that we’ve all experienced at one time or another.  

So if you have issues with food, aren’t happy with your family’s mealtime practices, or maybe you’re just tired of being hangry all the time, then this episode is for you.

Please join me and Dr. Susan Albers as we discuss Eating Mindfully and Hanger Management.
