Today's guest is Dr. Kathleen Kobashi, chair of the Department of Urology at Houston Methodist Hospital and a specialist in women's health and bladder control issues, and she sheds light on the truth behind many incontinence myths and the practice of urology.

  • Something all men eventually face...
    Jun 18 2024

    Mike Leventhal is straight up when he explains that there are three things all men eventually face: death, taxes and an enlarged prostate. He should know - as the Executive Director for the Tennessee affiliate of Men's Health Network, Mike has spent his career helping men improve their physical and mental well being. Today he talks with us about caring for your prostate as you get older and, for those men who have had their prostates removed, how to manage the incontinence that's usually associated with the procedure.

  • The essential guide to understanding - and treating - IBD
    May 24 2024

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease can be an incredible burden to bear - painful, embarrassing, isolating and, for many patients, as difficult to deal with mentally as it is to manage physically.

    Today's guest is Dr. Erin Forster, a gastroenterologist from the Medical University of South Carolina, and she's here to let you know that it doesn't have to be that way. IBD conditions - particularly Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis - can be treated, especially nowadays, with a surprisingly large range of medications and life strategies that can make a real difference for you.
