Can you delay menopause? Yes, in some ways we can. Let's cover what the science says about the Age at Natural Menopause, or ANM.  This matters—a lot—because early menopause has been linked to higher risks of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and even increased all-cause mortality. Delayed menopause is associated with a longer reproductive span and lower risk of diseases of aging.  So, what determines when you hit menopause?  We cover: Modifiable factors of menopause age What can we control and what we can't Research on the Age of Natural Menopause How alcohol intake suprisingly affects your menopause birthdate What is more potent?

Many of us are lucky to grow older, and in Europe there is an aging demographic. With this come the diseases of aging such as dementia and a burden on family and society for care. For a long time people have thought this inevitable but we will learn today that, as with so many diseases, lifestyle changes from a young age can counteract this, to reduce the risk of getting dementia and also stabilising mental decline. In 2021, 20.8% of the EU population was aged 65 years or older. In 2019, an Alzheimer Europe report on the prevalence of dementia estimated that there were about 9 million people living with the disease in Europe. This number is projected to double by 2050, rising towards 19 million in the European region. Globally, there are around 55 million people worldwide who are living with dementia. However, research is now showing that up to 45% of dementias could be prevented: by addressing a range of modifiable risk factors, at different stages of our lives. My guests today are: Dr. Ange Bradshaw: Director for Research at Alzheimer's Europe Dr. Joëlle Fritz: Research and Strategy Specialist, Luxembourg Institute of Health Dr. Francesca Mangialasche: Geriatrician, Division of Clinical Geriatrics: Alzheimer Research Center Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Karolinska Institutet and Executive Director of the World-Wide FINGERS Global Scientific Coordinating Center at the FINGERS Brain Health Institute Hassan Fadli: Founder, 5 Ironmans Beat Alzheimer's Association The 2024 World Alzheimer's report noted that 80% of people think dementia is a normal part of ageing, and 65% of healthcare professionals. Only 2% of the population are affected by rare genetic factors but for most of us this is not the case. ‘Modifiable risk factors' can be replaced to deter and stall dementia. Francesca Mangialasce is based at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and also works as executive director of the ‘FINGERS' Brain Health Institute, founded by Professor Mija Kivipelto, a world renowned researcher in the field of Alzheimer's disease and Dementia. FBHI is dedicated to promoting healthy brain aging and preventing cognitive impairment and dementia through innovative multi-domain clinical research and the fast translation of these results into personalised clinical practice. Brain is our main capital, and there is so much we can do to promote brain health. Studies have show that cardiovascular and metabolic disorders such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, high blood sugar or diabetes are risk factors for dementia. There are many other emerging factors such as hearing impairment, vision loss, impaired oral health.  Being mentally, physically and socially active during life is important to reduce the risk of memory problems in old age. Secondary and tertiary prevention is also really important, even at the later stages of disease with therapies including art, dance and cognitive stimulation therapy .  The FINGER study across 70 countries shows that a multi-domain approach can benefit cognition:exercise, healthy diet, cognitive training, good control of metabolic/vascular disorders, and social stimulation. Stigma Hassan Fadli's father faced stigma in the village he lived all his life. This stigma deepens the pain of the suffering, knowing you are losing ‘yourself'. It is also a burden for the caregivers at a time when family and friends need the most help to support their loved one.   Hassan promised his father to work towards breaking this stigma and founded the 5 Ironmans initiative. Hassan has also made a documentary of his advocacy work alongside the endurance sport to reach people from children in schools across Europe to the Queen of Sweden.  His aim is to bring brain health into normal conversation, break the stigma, and integrate brain health awareness into public discourse.  Luxembourg support Joëlle Fritz is working  as Research and Strategy Specialist at the Luxembourg Institute of Health where she aims to bridge research to clinical care. "Programme démence prevention" (pdp) is a programme raising awareness on modifiable risk factors for dementia prevention and promotes life style changes. PDP is an integrated prevention concept funded by Luxembourg's Ministry of Health and Social Security. PDP is currently coordinated by the Centre Hospitalier  de Luxembourg in collaboration with national institutions (Luxembourg Institute of Health and Luxembourg Centre for System's Biomedicine at the University of Luxembourg) and partner associations (listed below). It is important to start as early as possible in the prevention of dementia, and so the PDP Braincoach app was created, accessible via browser to everyone also outside Luxembourg: www.pdp-app.lu Associations related in Luxembourg: L'Association nationale des diététiciens du Luxembourg: www.andl.lu ZithaAktiv: www.zithaaktiv.lu   Club Seniors of HELP asbl: www.help.lu Club Senior “Schwaarze Wee” Dudelange:   www.schwaarzewee.lu Lëtzebuerger Verein fir Gediechtnistraining: www.lvgt.lu NEUROvitalis home and digital Info-Zenter Demenz:   www.demenz.lu Association Luxembourg Alzheimer (ala) : www.ala.lu  Longevity with health  The results are clear, for dementia and living a long life with good health: we need to put in place good habits of physical, social and mental health.  Links to the notes above: https://www.5ironmansbeatalzheimer.com www.pdp.lu https://www.alzheimer-europe.org https://fbhi.se/sv/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/fingers-brain-health-institute/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/miia-kivipelto-8a8b1b3b/ https://www.chl.lu/fr https://m3s.gouvernement.lu/en.html https://www.uni.lu/lcsb-en/ https://ki.se/en

Episode 183: Colorectal Cancer in Young AdultsFuture Dr. Avila and Dr. Arreaza present evidence-based information about the screening and diagnosis of colorectal cancer and explain the increasing incidence among young adult and the importance to screen early in high risk groups.  Written by Jessica Avila, MS4, American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.IntroductionJessica: Although traditionally considered a disease only affecting older adults, colorectal cancer (CRC) has increasingly impacted younger adults (defined as those under 50) at an alarming rate. According to the American Cancer Society, CRC is now the leading cause of cancer-related death in men under 50 and the second leading cause in women under 50 (American Cancer Society, 2024). Arreaza: Why were you motivated to talk about CRC in younger patients?Jessica: Because despite advancements in early detection and treatment, younger patients are often diagnosed at later stages, resulting in poorer outcomes. We will discuss possible causes, risk factors, common symptoms, and why early screening and prevention are important. Arreaza: This will be a good reminder for everyone to screen for colorectal cancer because 1 out of every 5 cases of colorectal cancer occur in adults between the ages of 20 and 54. The Case of Chadwick BosemanJessica: Many people know Chadwick Boseman from his role as T'Challa in Black Panther. His story highlights the worrying trend of increasing CRC in young adults. He was diagnosed with stage III colorectal cancer at age 39. This diagnosis was not widely known until he passed away at 43. His case shows how silent and aggressive young-onset CRC can be. Like many young adults with CRC, his symptoms may have been missed or thought to be less serious issues. His death drew widespread attention to the rising burden of CRC among young adults and emphasized the critical need for increased awareness and early screening efforts.Arreaza: Black Panther became a hero not only in the movie, but also in real life, because he raised awareness of the problem in young AND in Black adults. EpidemiologyJessica: While rates of CRC in older populations have decreased since the 1990s, adults under 50 have seen an increase in CRC rates of nearly 50%. (Siegel et al., 2023). Currently, one in five new CRC diagnoses occurs in individuals younger than 55 (American Cancer Society, 2024).Arreaza: What did you learn about the incidence by ethnic groups? Are there any trends? Jessica: Yes, certain ethnic groups are shown to have higher rates of CRC. Black Americans, Native Americans, and Alaskan Natives have the highest incidence and mortality rates from CRC (American Cancer Society, 2024). Black Americans have a 20% higher incidence and a 40% higher mortality rate from CRC compared to White Americans, primarily due to disparities in access to screening, healthcare resources, and early diagnosis. Hispanic and Asian American populations are also experiencing increasing CRC rates, though to a lesser extent.Arreaza: It is important to highlight that Black Americans have the highest rate of both diagnoses and deaths of all groups in the United States. Who gets colorectal cancer?Risk FactorsJessica: Anyone can get colorectal cancer, but some are at higher risk. In most cases, environmental and lifestyle factors are to blame, but early-onset CRC are linked to hereditary conditions. Arreaza: There is so much to learn about colorectal cancer risk factors. Tell us more.Jessica: The following are key risk factors:Modifiable risk factors:Diet and processed foods: A diet high in processed meats, red meat, refined sugars, and low fiber is strongly associated with an increased risk of CRC. Fiber is essential for gut health, and its deficiency has been linked to increased colorectal cancer risk (Dekker et al., 2023).Obesity and sedentary lifestyle: Obesity and physical inactivity contribute to CRC risk by promoting chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic disturbances that promote tumor growth (Stoffel & Murphy, 2023).Gut microbiome imbalance: Disruptions in gut microbiota, especially an overgrowth of Fusobacterium nucleatum, have been noted in CRC pathogenesis, potentially causing tumor development and progression (Brennan & Garrett, 2023).Arreaza: As a recap, processed foods, obesity, sedentarism, and gut microbiome. We also have to mention smoking and high alcohol consumption as major risks factors, but the strongest risk factor is a family history of the disease.Non-modifiable risk factors:Genetic predisposition: Although only 20% of early-onset CRC cases are linked to hereditary syndromes such as Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), individuals with a first-degree relative with CRC are at a significantly higher risk and should undergo earlier and more frequent screening (Stoffel & Murphy, 2023).Arreaza: Also, there is a difference in incidence per gender assigned at birth, which is also not modifiable. The rate in the US was 33% higher in men (41.5 per 100,000) than in women (31.2 per 100,000) during 2015-2019. So, if you are a man, your risk for CRC is slightly higher. Protective factors, according to the ACS, are physical activity (no specification about how much and how often) and dairy consumption (400g/day). Jessica, let's talk about how colon cancer presents in our younger patients.Clinical Presentation and Challenges in DiagnosisJessica: Young-onset CRC is often diagnosed at advanced stages due to delayed recognition of symptoms. Common symptoms include:Rectal bleeding (often mistaken for hemorrhoids)Young individuals may ignore it, believe they do not have time to address it, or lack insurance to cover a comprehensive evaluation.Unexplained weight lossFatigue or weaknessChanges in bowel habits (persistent diarrhea or constipation)This may also be rationalized by dietary habits.Abdominal pain or bloatingIron deficiency anemia.Arreaza: All those symptoms can also be explained by benign conditions, and colorectal cancer can often be present without clear symptoms in its early stages. Jessica: Yes, in young adults, symptoms may be dismissed by healthcare providers as benign conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hemorrhoids, or dietary intolerance, leading to significant diagnostic delays. Arreaza: We must keep a low threshold for ordering a colonoscopy, especially in patients with the risks we mentioned previously. Jessica: We may also be concerned about the risk/benefit of colonoscopy or diagnostic methods in younger adults, given the traditional low likelihood of CRC. Approximately 58% of young CRC patients are diagnosed at stage III or IV, compared to 43% of older adults (American Gastroenterological Association, 2024). Early recognition and prompt evaluation of persistent symptoms are crucial for improving outcomes. Empowering and informing young adults about concerning symptoms is the first step in better recognition and better outcomes for these individuals.Arreaza: This is when the word “follow up” becomes relevant. I recommend you leave the door open for patients to return if their common symptoms worsen or persist. Let's talk about screening. Screening and PreventionJessica: Due to the trend of CRC being identified in younger populations, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) lowered the recommended screening age for CRC from 50 to 45 in 2021 (USPSTF, 2021). Off the record, some Gastroenterologists also foresee the USPSTF lowering the age to 40. Arreaza: That is correct, it seems like everyone agrees now that the age to start screening for average-risk adults is 45. It took a while until everyone came to an agreement, but since 2017, the US Multi-Society Task Force had recommended screening at age 45, the American Cancer Society recommended the same age (45) in 2018, and the USPSTF recommended the same age in 2021. This podcast is a reminder that the age of onset has been decreased from 50 to 45, for average-risk patients, according to major medical associations.Jessica: For individuals with additional risk factors, including a family history of CRC or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, screening starts at age 40 or 10 years before the diagnosis of colon cancer in a first-degree relative. Dr. Arreaza, who has the lowest and the highest rate of screening for CRC in the US? Arreaza: The best rate is in Massachusetts (70%) and the lowest is California (53%). Let's review how to screen:Jessica: Recommended Screening Methods:Colonoscopy: Considered the gold standard for CRC detection and prevention, colonoscopy allows for identifying and removing precancerous polyps.Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT): A non-invasive stool test that detects hidden blood, recommended annually.Stool DNA Testing (e.g., Cologuard): This test detects genetic mutations associated with CRC and is recommended every three years.Arreaza: Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) is another option, it is less common because it is not covered by all insurance plans, it examines the whole colon, it is quick, with no complications. Conclusion:Colorectal cancer is rapidly emerging as a serious health threat for young adults. The increase in cases over the past three decades highlights the urgent need for increased awareness, early symptom detection, and proactive screening. While healthcare providers must weigh the risk/benefit of testing for CRC in younger adults, patients must also be equipped with knowledge of concerning signs so that they may also advocate for themselves. Early detection remains the most effective tool in preventing and treating CRC, emphasizing the importance of screening and risk factor modification.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

For uric acid, he explores its metabolic role and connection to various diseases, focusing on the potential causal link with cardiovascular disease. He also discusses factors influencing uric acid levels, such as diet, genetics, and lifestyle, providing practical tips for effective management. Shifting to protein, Peter delves into its role in appetite and weight management, the consequences of insufficient protein, and the “protein leverage hypothesis” linking protein deficiency to obesity. He covers optimal protein intake and its impact on energy expenditure, and he compares the satiety effects of solid versus liquid protein. Finally, Peter shares his strategy for incorporating protein into a comprehensive weight management plan.

I am on faculty with the ICE Pelvic Division. Today we are chatting about prehab for a prostatectomy surgery. Why is prehab important and what should be included in your PT session with that pre prostatectomy client? This topic, it is so near and dear to my heart. it's because these humans just don't have the treatment or education that they deserve prior to going into these surgeries and afterwards when they come out. And if I can convince you why it is so important to be able to connect with these humans and to even just educate them on, hey, there is Help for you. There's pelvic floor muscle training that can be done education about behaviors whether that is you actually doing the PT session or you referring them to someone else it can have incredible outcomes for them post-op just because they are aware of pelvic floor physical therapy for their surgery the prostatectomy so Let's dive into what a prostatectomy surgery actually is. It is something to treat prostate cancer, and that's going to be by removing part or the full gland of the prostate. They're also going to remove surrounding tissues and seminal vesicles. The gold standard for surgery is a radical prostatectomy where they remove the entire prostate gland. I didn't have a walnut, so here's what we're working with. This fig represents the prostate. So let's run through some real estate of where everything is situated in someone with a prostate in terms of the pelvic floor and the organs. So we have our bladder here and then we have the bladder neck with the urethra that goes through our prostate. and this is going to be representative of the urethra itself. So the urethra goes from the bladder neck through this fig or the prostate and then down into the penis and that is how everything is set up. With a prostatectomy, after the prostate is removed, that extra support around the urethra is now lost, and the remaining bit of that urethra now needs to be reconnected back to the bladder. This reconnection, we can think about it like a bridge, or a fancy term is the anastomosis, and that anastomosis needs time to heal. So a Foley catheter is placed in for about five to ten days. That means that the bladder is or the urine is emptying passively. The bladder is not doing its job. It's off on vacation. And then once the catheter is removed, the bladder acts like it forgot how to start or how to store urine. It doesn't know what to do with it. And so we have a lot of urinary leakage. So among other things, this is why urinary incontinence or urinary leakage is a major side effect with these prostatectomy surgeries. post-op, the external urethral sphincter is relied on for maintaining continence. So good news for us, the pelvic floor muscles help to close that sphincter and keep pee in until it's appropriate to release it. And that's why pelvic floor muscle training with physical therapy can be so important pre-op and post-op, at least from the bladder side of things. So who does the prostatectomy surgery affect? Well, obviously those diagnosed with prostate cancer. It is the second leading cause of death from cancer in males. It's going to affect our individuals who are older than 50 years old and who are African-American. So if you think about who you are treating currently, if you're treating individuals who have prostates who are older than 50, one in eight of them are probably gonna have some run-in with prostate cancer, whether that's treated with a surgery or not. That's where you come in. You could have such a profound effect with these individuals just by educating them that pelvic floor muscle training exists And whether you're again, whether you're doing the treatment or you're referring out to someone else, you can have such an incredible impact on their post-op outcomes potentially. So, We talked about with a post-prostatectomy, we talked about that surgery can result in urinary incontinence or leakage. It can also affect sexual function. There can be reduced physical function. Think about it. If you're leaking all the time, is that really going to convince or motivate you to go work out? For some, no. And then it'll also affect the overall health-related quality of life. Take 65 year old Phil. You've got a Phil in your clinic. You're already treating him for low back pain, um, with his hikes and his weightlifting, say. And he went in for his annual physical, and then he walked out with a date for a surgery for radical prostatectomy. Besides being in shock that he now has this potentially life threatening diagnosis, Phil comes in and is like, this happened. He's like, am I, am I ever going to be able to hike with my hiking group and not be the person that smells like pee? Am I going to be able to be cool with being in the changing room in the, in the locker room after my weightlifting session, like removing this soggy pair of underwear, or am I going to be able to enjoy sexy times with his partner? Well, since you're here and you intently are listening to this podcast, You, your first line of question is, hey, Phil, did they recommend any sort of physical therapy for you? Um, whether it's pre-op or post-op. And of course, Phil's like, no. So you teach him that pelvic floor muscle training can be so effective and helpful, um, and play a huge role in those side effects that he's worried about. Y'all, what if we could have an incredibly bigger impact, building the foundation, setting the stage for what to expect post-surgery, just with PT sessions? Clinically, I've been treating this population, hopefully you can hear my passion behind it, for about seven years. I've interacted with so many fills that come in, if they even get to me, right? and they are just slapped with that surgery date, and the side effects are kind of breezed through during their appointment, it seems like. And their concerns aren't really heard, their well-being and their questions, they're just kind of like not given a lot of attention. I didn't always do pre-op sessions, but once I started, hoo-wee, I was just blown away by how different the clinical outcomes were in terms of improving, whether that was decreasing the volume of urinary leakage for some or having them return back to their ADLs exercise a little bit sooner. The biggest thing, which was so powerful for me, is these people came in extremely uncertain, having no idea even why, if their doctor did send them to PT, why they were there. And they were just uncertain about these really scary side effects, about how maybe for the first time they were going to experience some sort of losing control of their bodies, from peeing unexpectedly to changes in their erections. And they walked out of that first session feeling a little more confident, a little more certain. And that is the power, I believe, of these pre-op sessions. And then from a research side of things, what's shaking out in the few RCTs that we have for these pre-op sessions and their effects on prostatectomy, some may be helpful in improving quality of life. they may affect a shorter hospital stay. They may reduce post-op urinary leakage in the short term. So some studies find around month one, three, or six, that the individual is leaking less, meaning they're drier faster. Now, when you compare someone who had some pre-op PT to someone who did not around 12 months, they are about the same with their rate. But I would argue that I bet folks are going to be a lot more satisfied if they did that prehab and they are drier sooner, right? So let's go into what a prostatectomy PT session entails before that surgery. We've got these sessions already in place. for folks who are going in for surgery for their ACL repair, for their hip replacement. But just like we're fighting with our pregnant and postpartum population, we are somehow having to fight for someone to have a pre-obsession for something like a prostatectomy, and that impacts so many daily functions. Let's outline what is involved in that pre-op PT session. Again, you can educate someone on what to expect if you're referring them to someone to do this. So we'll go over subjective, objective, and the treatment. From an assessment side of things, from that subjective piece, what you can be talking to your patient about is what are their current bladder and sexual habits? How many voids do they have during the day? How many times do they go pee? Do they have an urge? Do they have urinary leakage or hesitancy? And there are some outcome measures that go over these things. The International Prostate Symptom Score goes over those things. Plus they ask about nocturia or nighttime urination. And then the NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index is another outcome measure. And I love it because it asks about the impact of these symptoms. How is it affecting your quality of life? Then you want to also ask about their sexual function. How would they rate their erection strength or their satisfaction with their sexual life? From an outcome measure standpoint, you can give them the International Index of Erectile Function. This is something that asks them to rate qualities of their erection from the past four weeks. Then you want to also get a good idea of their current physical activity regimen. What a wonderful time to, if they're already a little physically inactive, hey, let's like plug in for, here's why it would be really great if you could up that physical activity. Not just for that immediate post-op surgical outcome, but also, hey, we can lower all cause mortality. And then from an objective side of things, so we went over the subjective, objectively speaking, we want to get a pelvic assessment. Whether that is over the clothes, external, near that midline, or it is a visual or tactile palpation, or an internal rectal assessment, if that's what you're trained in. So we're looking for, what's their awareness? Do they even know that they have this group of muscles that they can control? called the pelvic floor. We want to be looking at their coordination, timing of the pelvic floor, and then also getting an idea of what is their breathing and bracing strategies for things that increase interabdominal pressure, like fitness activities or functional lifting of the groceries, coughing, running, weightlifting. Typically, this population tends to be a breath holder. So we're gonna spend some time, there's just so much that we can do to help them in this area, to help them have improvements in their methods with that. And then we also wanna be doing some sort of general orthoscreen because what if their hips are cranky? Obviously that's gonna affect pelvic floor, low back, and all those surgical outcomes. From a treatment side of things, so we went over subjective, objective, highlights from the treatment side of things. where we'll talk about education, what to expect post-op, and some homework for them to work on. Education. I cannot stress this enough. The education piece here is vital for affecting their outcomes and well-being. Let's educate them on the pelvic floor. Here's what it is. Here's the anatomy and physiology. Here's how it affects your penis. whether that's for sexual health or for the urethra for urination. Here is what happens during the surgery. Get to know the surgeons in your area and which methods they use. What are their outcomes, right? And then you want to be explaining the risk factors for these side effects like urinary leakage and sexual function. dysfunction. Non-modifiable factors. If you're older, it's not going to help you as much. And if you already have some reductions in urinary function, like you're already leaking, that is not going to help you on the backside. Modifiable factors, tons. So things like smoking, poor nutrition, That is gonna delay healing post-op. Can we identify some current bladder irritants and reduce those immediately post-op? What about poor mental health? Things like low self-efficacy or if they're experiencing anxiety or depression, helping them ID these things and finding them some psychosocial support to have upcoming for the surgery and post-op, so key. and then reduced physical activity. Hard health is heart health. What do I mean by that? Erections, ejaculation, is related to vascular health. Hard health is heart health. So what affects our vascular system? Aerobic and resistance training exercise. If we can have them and talk to them about how it's important and how increasing that physical activity is going to improve their physiologic resilience to the surgery itself and any complications that come up, that is gonna be having such a huge impact on their quality of life. Regarding physical activity, in a 2014 RCT by Mina et al, they found that men who were meeting physical activity guidelines prior to surgery had greater health-related quality of life at six and 26 weeks post-op compared to men who were not meeting those physical activity guidelines. So, from a post-op perspective, we want to tell them what to expect. Urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. From the urinary incontinence side of things, they will have a Foley catheter in for five to 10 days. Remember, the bladder doesn't work during this time. Once that catheter is removed, we gotta retrain that neural pathway to help control the bladder so that they know, oh, my bladder is filling, or this is how I'm gonna stop that leakage from coming out, and how to fully empty the bladder. Another huge tip, have them bring a hygiene product, whether that's a pad or a diaper or something, with them to the hospital so that when they are discharged, they have something to help protect them on their way home or on their way to the store to grab their meds. And then urinary incontinence could be present from a couple of months to a year post-op. We see a significant improvement in that three to six month range, but it could be affected by things like, hey, it gets worse at the end of the day because the pelvic floor muscles are tired, or with transitional movements like sitting to stand. So working on these movements with them is gonna be super helpful pre-op. And then maybe talking to them about how, if you're not going to see them for 10 days or so post-op, we may be using the pad weight or the number of pads in a 24-hour period as a marker for our progress. So just having that in the back of their mind. When it comes to what to expect from a sexual function standpoint post-op, it can take up to two years to recover to baseline function from an erection standpoint. We want to set these expectations from an ejaculation standpoint. Dry ejaculate is going to happen now because those seminal vesicles were removed, and that's what helps produce that ejaculate. There may be some changes in their orgasm sensation. Erections, it could be dependent on surgery outcomes. How much nerve sparing was there in that procedure? They have the potential to get better with this, especially with pelvic floor muscle training or things like pumps. And then loss of penile length. This is something that we want to let them know can happen so they don't get a little surprise. Homework wise, we want to address any of those pelvic floor deficits we found from that objective piece, especially that breathing and bracing strategy. We can do that with biofeedback, whether that's with a mirror, with a palpation from the therapist or from them, and just to really improve their awareness and coordination there. And then giving them cues that connect them to the pelvic floor. Evidence supports, hey, pelvic floor contractions with the following cues, like shortening the penis, though I've been told nobody wants to have that. So something like nuts to guts or stopping the flow of urine is great for that. One side of the range of motion, the contraction side of the range of motion of the pelvic floor, and then something for the relaxation side, like let the testicles or base of penis hang loose. I did an Instagram post recently, so you can check that out on the ICE or Revitalize Pelvic Physio page. And then we wanna be, for homework, modifying their poor lifestyle habits. Can we reduce those bladder irritants, process sugar? Can we increase your physical activity and mental health? And then finally, we want to be scheduling their followup visits on the calendar. So whether that's for pre-op, a couple more sessions, or as early as 10 days, once that catheter is removed, they can pop back in to your office. SUMMARY So, I hope you found that information helpful. We reviewed how prevalent prostate cancer is, especially for those who are 50 plus. We know that radical prostatectomy is the gold standard for treatment. Two major things that are affected post-op are urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Pre-op PT sessions are fairly new, but we have some evidence that says, hey, those who partake in pre-op sessions are drier sooner than their counterparts. And then from a PT session standpoint, thinking about asking what their current bladder and sexual function is, asking them about physical activity, mental health, objectively getting a measurement of the pelvic area, and helping them connect with that area a little bit more. Treatment-wise, we want to really harp on that education. about what the pelvic floor is, how it can help with their function, and also what to expect, possible side effects, modifiable risk factors, and then giving them homework to work on those deficits, and then finally scheduling that additional follow-up before surgery and then getting their post-op session on the calendar. My next podcast, I'm going to go into detail on what a post-op session post prostatectomy looks like. So tune in for that. And then if you want to learn more about pelvic floor examination, join us live. We have our next two courses. One is July 20th, 21st in Cincinnati, Ohio. And then July 27th and 28th, we are gonna be in Laramie, Wyoming. If you're wanting more of a virtual option, we have our two different courses that are eight weeks, L1 and L2. And in L2, we go over the male pelvic health conditions as well. Thank y'all so much for tuning in from my prostate slash walnut. Happy Monday, and I'll see you next time.

Over 212 million Americans say their biggest fear about growing older is developing Alzheimer's. Part of why we're so afraid is that we believe it's untreatable. But what if we could not only prevent cognitive decline, but actually reverse it? In REVERSING ALZHEIMER'S: The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health (HarperCollins, June 11, 2024), Dr. Heather Sandison, a leading expert in dementia care, proves that reversal is possible, and is already occurring in patients at Solcere, her brain-optimization clinic, and Marama, her memory care facility, in San Diego, California. You can learn more about her book and other offerings here: /https://www.drheathersandison.com/ SUMMARY Dr. Sandison discusses cognitive decline, dementia stages, and importance of lifestyle changes.

Join Integrated GP Dr. Nicole Nelson and fellow integrative medicine GP and Ambassador, Dr. Michelle Woolhouse, on this detailed podcast on breast cancer prevention. In this episode, they explore the multifaceted landscape of modifiable aspects that can significantly impact breast cancer development. Researchers have outlined a host of modifiable factors, including early pregnancy before the age of 30, breastfeeding support, regular exercise, alcohol consumption, breast density screening, minimizing exposure to endocrine disruptors, and supporting oestrogen processing and excretion. Alcohol consumption, in particular, is dose-dependent and shown to increase breast cancer risk, making zero intake the safest option. Dietary choices play a pivotal role, with fibre, indole-3-carbinol-rich foods like cruciferous vegetables, vitamin A, iodine, selenium, and gut microbiome health all influencing breast cancer risk. Additionally, understanding and influencing beta-glucuronidase activity, maintaining bowel regularity, and supporting detoxification phases (Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3) are key strategies. They also explore how adopting a diet aligned with genetic heritage, or the Mediterranean Diet can offer protective benefits. An interesting and often overlooked aspect, insulin regulation, and how it acts as a tumour growth factor, is covered in detail. Strategies encompass choosing foods with a lower and sustained insulin response, intermittent fasting, selecting sugar alternatives, and closely monitoring sugar levels in food. Endocrine disruptors, with their wide-ranging negative effects on oestrogen transport and hormone receptors, are discussed in-depth. Functional tests are also outlined such as saliva, serum, and urinary oestrogen metabolites, gut beta-glucuronidase activity, genetic SNPs, and morning spot urine iodine to provide a comprehensive understanding. Lastly, they explore the significant impact of exercise on reducing mortality risk post-breast cancer and emphasise the importance of prioritising sleep quality as an essential lifestyle aspect.

Commentary by Dr. Valentin Fuster

Join Dr. Debrah Harding, an expert in integrative oncology, as we explore often-ignored cancer risk factors. We'll discuss environmental culprits like heavy metals and chemicals, along with lifestyle choices related to diet and estrogen balance. These elements significantly influence cancer risk and outcomes. Additionally, we'll stress the value of thorough medical forms in spotting these risks and elevating patient care. We'll also address radiation dangers, highlighting a case study. This leads to a broader conversation on electromagnetic effects, risks of phones being held close, and potential harm from earbuds. Take note: The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies certain radio waves as "2B carcinogens." Next, we evaluate the role of naturopathic oncology care in enhancing cancer treatments. We'll clarify misconceptions, spotlighting the significance of the FABNO title. As we conclude, Dr. Harding offers strategies for minimizing pill use and countering supplement fatigue for cancer patients. This episode delivers crucial information for both practitioners and patients.EPISODE CHAPTERS:(0:00:01) - Modifiable Risk Factors for Cancer(0:08:17) - Radiation Exposure and Its Health Impact(0:13:05) - Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity and Its Symptoms(0:24:59) - Naturopathic Medicine in Oncology Care(0:35:11) - Naturopathic Care in Cancer Treatment(0:39:21) - FABNO Certification and Integrative Oncology CareLinks:American Institute for Cancer ResearchNational Association of Environmental MedicineJoin Over 18,000 Leading Medical Professionals and Become a Vibrant Wellness Provider Today!
