Host: Michael Krychman, MD As many clinicians have become increasingly aware, the problem of obesity involves a complex interplay of habits and hormones, influenced by genetic predispositions and cultural practices alike. Whereas the supposed magic bullets of weight loss pills and fad diets are always in high demand, few to none have demonstrated consistent benefit for patients, and the struggle to avoid the "yo yo effect" of regained weight goes on.

They discuss counseling strategies and interventions for patients striving toward better sexual health as they pursue more healthy, stable weight.

Host: Michael Krychman, MD For women in their 40's and 50's, approximately one in four will develop a pelvic floor disorder such as urinary incontinence.

Host: Michael Krychman, MD For years, women's sexual health matters have been relatively ignored in both clinical practice and the public eye despite consistently heavy media attention drawn towards men's sexual issues and associated therapeutic products.
