Episode 327: Bladder Leakage Is Common, But That Doesn't Mean It's Normal — with Dr. Alex Rogers I'm joined this week by my brilliant colleague and fellow urologist, Dr. Alex Rogers, for a candid, informative conversation about something way too many people silently struggle with: bladder leakage. We're two urologists talking all things pee — from stress incontinence to overactive bladder, and everything in between. Whether you're dealing with a sudden urge to run to the bathroom, leaking when you laugh or sneeze, or you're just confused about what's going on down there, this episode is for you. We break down the two most common types of bladder leakage — overactive bladder and stress urinary incontinence — and explain why they require totally different treatment approaches. We also talk about the huge impact of hormones on bladder health, especially in menopause (yes, estrogen matters here too!). Dr. Rogers and I dive into: Why bladder leakage is so common — and why we shouldn't normalize it The real science behind overactive bladder Why Botox is an underutilized but super effective treatment option How pelvic floor therapy fits into the bigger picture What's new and exciting in urology (hello, neuromodulation and telehealth) The frustrating role of insurance in limiting access to care How to find a provider who actually knows what they're doing when it comes to bladder health This isn't just a “deal with it” issue — it's a quality of life issue. And the good news? There are solutions. Real, evidence-based, life-changing options. But only if we talk about it. So let's talk. Takeaways: Bladder leakage is common but under-discussed Hormonal changes play a huge role in bladder function Overactive bladder ≠ stress incontinence — and treatments vary Botox is a powerful and underutilized option Telemedicine and new tech are changing the game Education empowers patients to advocate for better care Insurance hurdles are real — and we need to fight for better access Find the right specialist — not all care is created equal Let's stop suffering in silence and start empowering ourselves and our patients with facts, not shame.

Meet Keri Croft, an infertility, child loss and surrogacy advocate who went through 16 years of infertility. On today's ep, Keri tells Ali all about her family building journey, which includes having her son, and also the devastating loss of her first girl, Angel, who was missing part of her cerebellum. "It was a horrible, horrible decision to have to make, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody," Keri says of undergoing a TFMR (Termination for Medical Reasons). Keri talks about how a balanced translocation affected their fertility journey, and also how she navigated IUI and IVF. "I tried everything. And of course that takes a toll on your marriage. It was an absolute clusterfuck," she says. Keri also shares how she lost two other girls, Hope and Jade, how she and her husband decided to pursue surrogacy, and launching her workshop, Find Your Dream Surrogate. "After years of fertility treatments, loss, and heartbreak, I eventually had my daughter via a surrogate — a journey I navigated completely independently, without an agency," Keri says. "It was beautiful and brutal and eye-opening in ways I never expected. When it was all said and done, I kept thinking: Why the hell isn't there a better roadmap for this? So I built one."For more, go to www.kericroft.comFollow on IG: @thekericroftshowTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Pregnancy; TFMR; trying to conceive; pregnancy loss; baby loss; IVF; IUI; balanced translocation; surrogacy; ART; EPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

In this enlightening episode of Father and Joe, hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey tackle a common challenge faced in both missionary work and personal faith journeys: effectively communicating the vast benefits of attending Mass. Using the analogy of sales and products with multiple benefits, Joe introduces the idea that one needs to understand the needs of the person they're engaging with to convey the most relevant benefits. Just as eggs can be appreciated for various uses in meals, the benefits of Mass extend far beyond individual understanding, offering a unique and personalized spiritual experience to every attendee.Father Boniface steps in to explain the power of forming meaningful relationships, not just in sales but within the spectrum of evangelization and attending Mass. Our episode explores the concept of 'accompaniment,' where personal interaction and understanding play critical roles in spiritual guidance and evangelization. This approach helps parishioners form a deeper connection with the Mass, experiencing its full benefits uniquely tailored to their life stage and personal circumstances.We delve into the importance of fostering interior participation in Mass, where silence plays a crucial role. Father Boniface introduces practical ways to connect deeply with the Mass's proceedings, which is essential for transforming a routine obligation into an enriching personal journey filled with discovery and purpose.Additionally, we discuss overcoming the initial sensations of social awkwardness that some might feel when attending Mass, focusing on how to transition from merely going through the motions to actively engaging in a way that reveals Mass's transformative power. Discover how Mass is not just a weekly obligation but a profound means of receiving guidance, healing, and purpose throughout life's fluctuations.Join us as we explore creating moments in Mass that lead to spiritual growth by aligning personal experiences with the spiritual community and the central purpose of the Eucharist. Whether you're a devout parishioner or someone seeking to reengage with your faith, this conversation provides helpful insights to transform your relationship with Mass.Tags: Faith, Podcast, Mass Benefits, Personal Faith, Spiritual Growth, Eucharist, Sales Analogy, Evangelization, Accompaniment, Interior Participation, Spiritual Guidance, Overcoming Awkwardness, Father Boniface, Joe Rockey, Religious Experience, Church Community, Personalized Spirituality, Missionary Work, Transformation, Spiritual Wisdom, Theology, Catholic Church, Christian Faith, Building Relationships, Mass Engagement, Discovering Faith, Church Attendance, Meaningful Worship, Personalized Faith, Spiritual Fulfillment, Religious Obligations, Community Support, Guidance through Mass, Listening to God, Interior Silence, Growth through Faith, Christian Podcast, Spiritual Direction, Personal Connection, Catholic PodcastHashtags: #FaithJourney, #PodcastSeries, #MassBenefits, #SpiritualGrowth, #Eucharist, #SalesAnalogy, #Evangelization, #Accompaniment, #InteriorParticipation, #SpiritualGuidance, #OvercomingAwkwardness, #FatherBoniface, #JoeRockey, #ReligiousExperience, #ChurchCommunity, #PersonalizedSpirituality, #MissionaryWork, #Transformation, #SpiritualWisdom, #Theology, #CatholicChurch, #ChristianFaith, #BuildingRelationships, #MassEngagement, #DiscoveringFaith, #ChurchAttendance, #MeaningfulWorship, #PersonalizedFaith, #SpiritualFulfillment, #ReligiousObligations, #CommunitySupport, #GuidanceThroughMass, #ListeningToGod, #InteriorSilence, #GrowthThroughFaith, #ChristianPodcast, #SpiritualDirection, #PersonalConnection, #CatholicPodcastThis line is here to correct the site's formatting error.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we uncover the latest news, research, and real-world updates on Ozempic's expanding role in health, wellness, and weight management.Ozempic, known as semaglutide, was originally created to help manage type 2 diabetes, but it quickly gained enormous popularity for another reason—impressive weight loss. According to Wellbeing Nutrition, Ozempic helps people lose weight by stabilizing blood sugar, controlling appetite, and slowing how quickly your stomach empties, which helps you feel satisfied after smaller meals. This leads to fewer cravings, more manageable portions, and less overeating, all while supporting smoother blood sugar levels, so you avoid the energy crashes that usually derail diets.Clinical studies have shown that Ozempic users can lose between ten and fifteen percent of their body weight over the course of a year. The research highlighted by Yale Campus Press confirms these numbers, showing that gradual, consistent weight loss is typical for those who stick with Ozempic and pair it with basic lifestyle changes, like moderate diet tweaks and some exercise.What else makes Ozempic stand out? Its weekly injection schedule is a major plus for people who prefer a simple routine over remembering daily medications. No complicated pharmacy refills, just one shot a week, making consistent use far more achievable—and that consistency is key to long-term weight loss.Now, beyond shedding pounds, Ozempic delivers a range of metabolic benefits. Not only do most people see improved cholesterol and blood pressure, but there are marked reductions in cardiovascular risk for people with type 2 diabetes. Science magazine recently recognized these GLP-1 drugs as a medical breakthrough, also naming new research showing they can reduce complications of heart failure and kidney disease.But just as with any medication, there are things listeners should consider. As reported by DW, Ozempic's side effects are getting more attention as use becomes more widespread. While most users experience only mild symptoms, like nausea or diarrhea, there are rare but serious risks, such as pancreatitis and shifts in mood or vision. And while most unwanted effects tend to show up in the early weeks, experts like Penny Ward at King's College London stress the need for careful, ongoing monitoring to spot and manage these side effects early.There is another factor to highlight—weight regain after stopping Ozempic. Recent studies presented by Deaconess Health show that about two-thirds of the weight lost may be regained within a year after coming off the medication. That points to Ozempic acting much like a crutch; the benefits persist as long as you use it, but sustainable, long-term weight management still requires ongoing effort and healthy habits.Personal response to Ozempic can vary. Medical News Today reports new research showing men with higher body fat percentages, longer duration of treatment, and low starting blood sugar tend to have the best weight loss results. Women who start with lower skeletal muscle mass appear to have a slight edge as well, but the biggest predictor is sticking with the medication under medical supervision.With all the excitement around Ozempic, experts urge everyone to approach this solution thoughtfully. Starting these medications should always involve a medical professional. Personalized plans, regular check-ins, and an open dialogue about goals, side effects, and long-term maintenance will support the best, safest results.Thanks for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

 Listen & Watch: Apple Podcasts | YouTube | SpotifyDr. Michelle Jorgensen returns to The Lindsey Elmore Show to share a powerful truth: your cells—not prescriptions—do the real healing. In this episode, she breaks down the four things every cell needs to thrive, introduces a practical self-assessment for discovering which of your organs need support, and explains why ancient healing systems were often more in tune with the body than modern trends. From grounding to seasonal nutrition to ditching dangerous dental procedures like root canals, Dr. Jorgensen offers a holistic, science-backed roadmap to lasting energy and vibrant health. Additionally, she explains how the mouth can reflect—and even contribute to—chronic illness, and what parents can do to protect their children's oral and overall health.Key TakeawaysMedicine is a tool, not a cure; true healing occurs at the cellular level.Every cell needs four essentials: supplies, support, security, and signals.Symptoms are messages, not problems to mask, but signals to decodeYour body operates in seasons, and understanding your current season can inform your food, movement, and healing practicesTraditional healing systems often employed a root-cause approach.Grounding and nature are powerful sources of healing electrons.Protein isn't your go-to energy source—carbs play a critical role in fueling cells.Hidden dental infections, root canals, and metals can sabotage health.A biological dental approach addresses immunity, oxygen, and the body's electrical system.sParents should prioritize minerals (in and out) over fluoride for kids' dental healt.hListen in to learn more 00:00 – Medicine is a Band-Aid: How real healing actually works01:18 – Cellular healing explained through the finger cut analogy02:28 – Why supplements, diets, and protocols aren't the root solutio03:20 – What ancient medicine systems got right about healing04:09 – The four things every cell needs to heal: supplies, support, security, signals05:16 – How Dr. Jorgensen's symptom assessment identifies which cells need help06:40 – Understanding your body's season and how it affects healing08:04 – Why symptoms matter more than diet trends10:23 – Carbs vs. protein: What your mitochondria actually use for fuel12:09 – Personalized healing through symptom interpretation and seasonal eating13:33 – How “season snapshots” in the book simplify treatment decisions14:46 – Using food and lifestyle to respond to symptoms like heart palpitations15:57 – The healing power of nature, grounding, and reconnecting with the earth17:40 – What to expect from Living Well with Dr. Michelle18:53 – How chronic illness often starts in the mouth19:58 – The hidden dangers of root canals and how they affect the immune system21:13 – Anatomy of a root canal and why it often leads to long-term infection23:16 – Why removing a dead tooth may be the healthier choice24:19 – Biological dental alternatives to root canals25:40 – What parents should know about fluoride, minerals, and kids' oral health26:48 – Final thoughts and how to take the first step in your healing journey.Resources & Next StepsGet the book: Living Well with Dr. Michelle.Take the free assessment: LivingWellBook.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lindsey-elmore-show--5952903/support.

326. Australia, Testosterone, Mast Cells and More In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ceri Cashell for a wide-ranging conversation that spans continents and dives deep into women's health—from hormones to mast cells to medical mindset. Dr. Cashell and I talk about what we're seeing in clinical practice and what women around the world are still fighting for: access, advocacy, and actual answers. We unpack the critical role of testosterone in women's health (yes, women have and need testosterone), and explore how cultural perceptions—especially around sexuality—still shape what treatments women are offered or denied. We also talk about mast cell activation syndrome and how it might explain so many symptoms that often get brushed off or misdiagnosed in women. We get into why vaginal DHEA is so underutilized, how lifestyle changes make a real impact, and why curiosity in medicine is a superpower. There's also a deep dive into the hormone–mental health connection and why so many women are struggling in silence because of outdated medical thinking. This episode is a reminder: women's health is not niche, and we deserve better. Takeaways: Testosterone isn't optional—it's vital for women's health, especially during midlife. Cultural norms around sexuality still impact the care women receive. Mast cell activation syndrome might be the missing puzzle piece for many women with unexplained symptoms. We need more advocacy to break through the outdated thinking that limits women's treatment options. Lifestyle changes matter—more than most doctors admit. Staying curious as a clinician can change the game for patients. Vaginal DHEA is safe, effective, and overlooked far too often. Hormones are deeply connected to mental health—this isn't just about libido. Access to hormone therapy is often blocked by stigma, not science. Education and awareness are the keys to transforming women's healthcare.

While it's easy to pick on concierge medicine practice for its highly visible moniker, small medical offices outside of this niche space are often more guilty of this than concierge practices. Here are ten compelling reasons why this marketing strategy is flawed:   By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today   While concierge medicine aims to deliver exceptional care, making the physician the product can lead to significant setbacks. To succeed, practices must prioritize relationships, foster teamwork, and emphasize patient outcomes. By adopting a balanced approach that values both the physician's expertise and the contributions of the broader healthcare team, concierge medicine can achieve lasting success and genuinely serve its patients.   1. Unrealistic Expectations Could Lead to Burnout   Prioritizing the doctor as a product places immense pressure on physicians, contributing to burnout—affecting nearly 42% of doctors (Maslach et al., 2018). A physician who is overwhelmed can't provide the high-quality care patients deserve. On the one hand, it doesn't take long to resent the relentless pressure and unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, it's far too easy to get addicted to them – to like being at the center too much. Way too much.   2. Erosion of Personal Connection Reducing physicians to products undermines essential personal relationships crucial to healthcare. Strong patient-physician bonds foster trust and lead to better health outcomes (Hojat et al., 2011). If you were no longer working and kicked out of the practice tomorrow, what would be left of your practice -- would it and could it survive without you?!   3. Increased Competition for Patient Loyalty This model promotes a focus on attracting new patients rather than nurturing existing ones, jeopardizing long-term relationships. Personalized care strategies tend to yield better retention than mere marketing tactics.   4. Unsustainable Business Models Investing heavily in the physician's image rather than improving patient care systems often leads to unstable business practices (MGMA, 2020).   5. Unrealistic Patient Expectations Marketing healthcare around a physician's capabilities can foster unrealistic expectations, leaving patients disappointed when their complex needs aren't met. If you were no longer working and kicked out of the practice tomorrow, what would be left of your practice -- would it and could it survive without you?!   6. Neglect of Team-Based Care Emphasizing the individual physician sidelines the contributions of the healthcare team, compromising overall quality. Effective care requires collaboration among all team members (McGlynn et al., 2003).   7. Misguided Investment in Technology When the focus is on the physician, practices may overlook necessary investments in technology that enhance care and efficiency, ultimately affecting patient satisfaction (Albrecht et al., 2019). On the one hand, it doesn't take long to resent the relentless pressure and unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, it's far too easy to get addicted to them – to like being at the center too much. Way too much.   8. Diminished Patient Diversity An overemphasis on a single physician can narrow patient demographics, reducing the practice's accessibility and diversity, which are crucial for enriching healthcare.   9. Revenue Over Care Focus When financial gain becomes the primary driver, patient satisfaction often declines. Research underscores that patient-centric practices yield better health outcomes and greater cost-effectiveness (National Academy of Medicine, 2019).   10. Missed Opportunities for Continuous Improvement Focusing solely on the doctor can stifle innovation. Continuous education and system enhancements are vital in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.   Disclaimers: THIS SITE AND ANY OTHER CMT MANAGED OR OWNED WEB PROPERTY by Concierge Medicine Today, LLC (herein CMT) DOES NOT OFFER MEDICAL, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

Today, Ali is talking to Zach and Alexandra French, the founders of the nonprofit organization The Surrogacy Foundation, whose mission "isn't just to raise funds, but to propel surrogacy into the mainstream." Zach and Alexandra share their entire family building story, from how they met and got together to having their first child without Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). They talk about what happened when Alexandra found a lump in her breast, and how they navigated her cancer diagnosis and treatment. They also talk about Alexandra's double mastectomy, and how they pivoted to surrogacy after her surgery. "My doctor said if we wanted to expand our family, I could no longer carry. We would have to turn towards surrogacy--because if i carried another child, my cancer would return," Alexandra says. They talk about all of the intricacies of surrogacy, from finding a match to navigating the legal side, and share what it was like when their next baby was finally born. They also talk about creating the Surrogacy Foundation and how they've raised more than $500,000 so far to help families in need. "At The Surrogacy Foundation we don't just raise money; we help families every step of the way," they say. "Because education is essential to accessibility, we provide state of the art education based on decades of experience in an easy-to-use format."For more, go to www.thesurrogacyfoundation.orgFollow on IG: @thesurrogacyfoundation TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Breast cancer; chemotherapy; double mastectomy; trying to conceive; surrogacy; nonprofits; surrogacy grants; ARTEPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

Speak (https://speak.com) may not be very well known to native English speakers, but they have come from a slow start in 2016 to emerge as one of the favorite partners of OpenAI, with their Startup Fund leading and joining their Series B and C as one of the new AI-native unicorns, noting that “Speak has the potential to revolutionize not just language learning, but education broadly”. Today we speak with Speak's CTO, Andrew Hsu, on the journey of building the “3rd generation” of language learning software (with Rosetta Stone being Gen 1, and Duolingo being Gen 2). Speak's premise is that speech and language models can now do what was previously only possible with human tutors—provide fluent, responsive, and adaptive instruction—and this belief has shaped its product and company strategy since its early days. https://www.linkedin.com/in/adhsu/ https://speak.com One of the most interesting strategic decisions discussed in the episode is Speak's early focus on South Korea. While counterintuitive for a San Francisco-based startup, the decision was influenced by a combination of market opportunity and founder proximity via a Korean first employee. South Korea's intense demand for English fluency and a highly competitive education market made it a proving ground for a deeply AI-native product. By succeeding in a market saturated with human-based education solutions, Speak validated its model and built strong product-market fit before expanding to other Asian markets and eventually, globally. The arrival of Whisper and GPT-based LLMs in 2022 marked a turning point for Speak. Suddenly, capabilities that were once theoretical—real-time feedback, semantic understanding, conversational memory—became technically feasible. Speak didn't pivot, but rather evolved into its second phase: from a supplemental practice tool to a full-featured language tutor. This transition required significant engineering work, including building custom ASR models, managing latency, and integrating real-time APIs for interactive lessons. It also unlocked the possibility of developing voice-first, immersive roleplay experiences and a roadmap to real-time conversational fluency. To scale globally and support many languages, Speak is investing heavily in AI-generated curriculum and content. Instead of manually scripting all lessons, they are building agents and pipelines that can scaffold curriculum, generate lesson content, and adapt pedagogically to the learner. This ties into one of Speak's most ambitious goals: creating a knowledge graph that captures what a learner knows and can do in a target language, and then adapting the course path accordingly. This level-adjusting tutor model aims to personalize learning at scale and could eventually be applied beyond language learning to any educational domain. Finally, the conversation touches on the broader implications of AI-powered education and the slow real-world adoption of transformative AI technologies. Despite the capabilities of GPT-4 and others, most people's daily lives haven't changed dramatically. Speak sees itself as part of the generation of startups that will translate AI's raw power into tangible consumer value. The company is also a testament to long-term conviction—founded in 2016, it weathered years of slow growth before AI caught up to its vision. Now, with over $50M ARR, a growing B2B arm, and plans to expand across languages and learning domains, Speak represents what AI-native education could look like in the next decade.

This week, I sat down with the radiant Whitni Miller, also known as BDEmoves on Instagram, a queer sex educator and pleasure coach who's changing the game when it comes to how we talk about sex, desire, and embodiment, especially in the queer community. Together, we explored what it really means to be embodied in midlife and why so many of us still struggle to feel sexually safe—not just physically, but emotionally and relationally. Whitni brings a trauma-informed lens to her work, helping people unpack shame, regulate their nervous systems, and come back home to themselves. We talked about: Why safety (not spontaneity) is the foundation of good sex How queer and same-sex couples deal with libido differences What late bloomers can teach us about authenticity and desire The power of non-sexual touch in long-term relationships How responsive desire isn't broken—it's just misunderstood The absolute joy of reclaiming play and pleasure at any age Whitni also got real about what it takes to share accurate, pleasure-centered sex ed online in the face of constant censorship. Hint: It's hard, it's frustrating, and it's absolutely necessary. She's a fierce advocate for creating digital and real-life spaces where people—especially queer folks—can learn, explore, and thrive. If you've ever wondered, What can we learn from the queer community about sex, intimacy, and communication?—this episode is for you. Whitni's work is bold, honest, and full of compassion. Follow her @bdemoves and check out her offerings for late bloomers, folks navigating WLW relationships, and anyone looking to deepen their connection with themselves and their partners. Takeaways: ✨ Sexual safety is foundational to desire—not optional. ✨ Queer relationships offer a refreshing reframe of intimacy and play. ✨ Scheduling sex is not unsexy—it's smart, respectful, and hot. ✨ Responsive desire is normal, especially in midlife and long-term partnerships. ✨ Pleasure-first education challenges societal norms that prioritize performance. ✨ We need more trauma-informed, inclusive sex ed—and we need it now. https://www.instagram.com/bde.moves/ Want more honest, empowering conversations like this one?⁠⁠Preorder my Next Book⁠⁠ share this episode, and leave a review to help others find this important work.

Dr. Emily Levy is the founder and director of EBL Coaching, a specialized tutoring program that offers individualized one-on-one home, virtual, and on-site instruction using research-based, multi-sensory techniques. She is also the author of Strategies for Study Success, a 22-part student workbook series that teaches students strategies for test taking, note taking, reading comprehension, writing, summarizing, and executive functioning, along with the Flags and Stars Orton Gillingham student workbook series, which helps students develop their fundamental decoding and spelling skills. Additionally, she is the author of Flags and Stars Multi-Sensory Math, a multi-sensory math program that helps students develop a stronger understanding of core math concepts, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. These workbooks are currently used at schools nationwide.Takeaways: Multi-sensory learning techniques significantly enhance the academic performance of students with learning difficulties. Engaging multiple senses during learning creates a more effective educational experience for children with special needs. Personalized tutoring, especially in one-on-one settings, allows for tailored instruction that meets individual student needs. The importance of a structured approach in education cannot be overstated, as it helps students build mastery in various skills. Challenges in traditional education systems often necessitate external tutoring for students with specialized learning requirements. Empowerment through small achievements is crucial for building self-esteem in students with learning disabilities.
