Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.   Uterine fibroids are a very common concern for women who are still menstruating.  They are the cause of extreme and chronic pain, heavy bleeding and there aren't great treatment options available.  Today I welcome Dr Suzanne LeBlang to the show to discuss a novel therapy for treatment of fibroids - focused ultrasound.   I had never heard about this treatment until Dr. LeBlang shared her knowledge.  This conversation highlights how the non-invasive technique can treat uterine fibroids using thermal ablation, without the need for incisions or injections.  This is also available for many other health concerns such as thyroid nodules,  Parkinson's disease, breast tumours, tremors and others.  It has been FDA approved since 2004.  Overall, this episode underscores the importance of non-invasive treatment options for women's health concerns, with focused ultrasound emerging as a promising alternative for various conditions. Dr. LeBlang is the Director of Clinical Relationships at the Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUS) and was trained as a neuroradiologist.  You can find out more about this treatment option at fusfoundation.org or on Instagram here.     Thank you to our sponsors for this episode:

In this powerful episode, I chat with Carissa, a mother of three, about her journey through the medical system and towards an empowered freebirth after two C-sections. Carissa shares her story of resilience and self-advocacy as she faced multiple challenges, including a history of PCOS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and a series of surgeries. She recounts her experiences of navigating unsupportive systems, including the frustration of her first C-section being booked around her OBGYN's holiday, and the impact of having to choose freebirth due to a lack of supportive homebirth midwives. Carissa's story illustrates the importance of trusting one's body and reclaiming the birth experience. Key Takeaways: Trust Your Body's Wisdom: Carissa's journey shows the power of trusting her body's natural ability to birth. Advocate for Your Choices: Throughout her pregnancies, Carissa learned the importance of questioning decisions and making informed choices, even when medical professionals insisted otherwise. Surrounding Yourself with the Right Support: The lack of supportive homebirth midwives led Carissa to freebirth, supported by her husband and friend. Birth Is a Journey of Self-Discovery: Each birth experience brought Carissa closer to understanding her strength, and her story exemplifies how birth can be a path to self-discovery and healing.

Shawn Owens found out she was expecting as she was preparing for an outpatient procedure.

In this episode of HealthiHer, host Dr. Amy Brenner delves into the world of alternative fibroid treatment with the distinguished expert Dr. David Toub. Together, they unravel the complexities surrounding fibroids, shedding light on who is affected by them and the symptoms they entail with a focus on a minimally invasive option for fibroid treatment. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus, affecting many women during their childbearing years. Symptoms can vary widely, from heavy menstrual bleeding to pelvic pain, impacting quality of life and fertility. Understanding the significance of alternative treatments is crucial, particularly for those seeking options beyond traditional surgeries, such as hysterectomies. The spotlight of the discussion falls on the Sonata Uterine Fibroid Minimally Invasive Procedure, a groundbreaking approach to addressing fibroids with precision and minimal invasiveness. Dr. Toub guides listeners through the intricacies of the Sonata procedure, explaining how advanced ultrasound technology is leveraged to precisely target fibroids. By using real-time imaging guidance, radiofrequency energy is applied to shrink and destroy fibroids while preserving healthy surrounding tissue. Delving into the history of this innovative treatment, Dr. Toub highlights its emergence as a patient-friendly alternative to traditional surgeries like hysterectomy. This procedure offers a conservative approach, allowing individuals to retain their uterus while effectively treating fibroids. It addresses the limitations and challenges associated with invasive surgeries, offering fewer complications and a quicker return to normal activities. Tune in to this enlightening discussion as Dr. Brenner and Dr. Toub navigate the landscape of fibroid treatment, offering valuable insights into the transformative potential of the Sonata Uterine Fibroid Minimally Invasive Procedure.

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THE COUCH? Hey everyone, tonight I want to shine a light on a topic that affects millions of women worldwide: uterine fibroids. These non-cancerous growths in the uterus can cause a range of symptoms, from heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain to fertility issues. My guest tonight, Mrs. Christine Dukes-Hart, LCSW, nearly lost her life because of complications created by uterine fibroids. Mrs. Hart developed TTP, Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, and was unconscious in the ICU for several days. It's rare but can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated promptly. TTP affects the blood's ability to clot properly, leading to the formation of small blood clots throughout the body. This can cause a range of symptoms, including bruising, fatigue, fever, confusion, and even organ damage. Early detection is crucial, so it's important to be aware of the warning signs and seek medical attention if you or someone you know experiences them. Treatment often involves plasma exchange therapy and medications to suppress the immune system. Many women suffer in silence from fibroids, unaware that effective treatments and support are available. Whether you're currently dealing with fibroids or know someone who is, it's essential to seek medical guidance and explore all available options. Knowledge is power, and together, we can make a difference in the fight against this rare but serious condition. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and take care of yourselves. Let's support each other, share our stories, and empower women to take control of their reproductive health. Take nothing for granted, my friends. Life is precious, and each day is a gift. Hold your loved ones close, chase your dreams passionately, and never forget to savor the simple joys that surround you. #Grateful #LifeIsPrecious #NearDeathExperience  #FibroidAwareness #WomensHealth #BreakTheStigma #TTPAwareness #HealthAwareness #KnowTheSigns --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brainlove/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brainlove/support

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Buffie: Hi. I have been diagnosed with a uterine fibroid (10mm by 7 mm). I am a 51 year old woman and am approaching menopause. Is there any certain test or lab you recommend that I complete? I'm not sure where to start with this. Also, do you have any dietary recommendations? I eat mostly a plant-based diet, but do have chicken or beef on occasion (I don't like fish at all). I only recently found you on YouTube and have been listening/watching your show as much as possible.   J.M.: Hi Dr. Cabral! Firstly, thank you for everything that you do - your podcast has helped me so much and I always recommend my fmaily and friends listen to you to get their queries on their health answered. I have experienced very mild hair loss that I noticed after a very stressful time in my life, my trichologist advised I had telogen effluvium however it was combined with redness, scaling and itchy symptoms. my dermatologist suggested some creams/ointments/shampoos etc to try first. Eventually (this being approximately 2 years ago) symptoms went away and I assumed it was a bout of inflammation due to stress. Now it has returned so I decided to go through with the biopsy and it showed i have Lichen Planopilaris. Can you shed light on how i can manage this condition and prevent hair loss   Jasmine: Hi Dr. Cabral! First of all, thank you so much for all the free knowledge you provide to the world. I feel so empowered to take on health issues autonomously because of you and the information and trustworthy products you provide. My question is about topical retinol skincare products. These can be OTC or prescribed by a derm, which would namely be Tretinoin. I have seen so many people have incredible results with retinol/vit-a derivatives. It almost seems too good to be true. What are the side effects, if any? Is it safe to use? Thank you!   Emma: Hi Dr Cabral Thank you so much for everything you do! My question is regarding the DUTCH hormone test. I have heard you say that you don't use it, and that it isn't as reliable as the saliva test, which I completely understand and respect. However I hear many functional medicine practitioners and doctors who do use it say why they love it, and the main reason being that they can see which pathways certain estrogens are going down (2OH, 4OH, 16OH) Eg- they may see that E1 and E2 are going down the 4OH pathway (being associated with DNA damage and breast cancer) and methylation. Isn't there benefit of knowing that information to then dive deeper into why that's happening as opposed to the saliva test which doesn't show that information? Thank You!   David: Good morning, I'd like to get some info on using Serrapeptase for reducing high blood pressure. Thank you.   Chris: Hi doctor Cabral. Absolutely love anything you are doing for the world. I just have a question regarding silica dust. I work in construction and although I do everything I can to prevent inhaling the dust, it is extremely hard to keep myself from breathing in some dust every day. I know how deadly silicosis can be and was wondering if there were ways that I could help rid the body of any built up silica dust in my lungs? I was also wondering if there was a lab/test that would indicate if I had high levels of silica in my body?
