096 - Independence Day Special: Becoming Independently Healthy
Wellness Optimizing Warrior M.D.
Many of us are familiar with the idea of being independently wealthy, but what does it mean to be independently healthy? Health independence is the ability to maintain your physical and mental wellbeing without relying on external support. If you want to be independently healthy, you need to eat well, exercise often, sleep soundly, and manage your stress. Having this knowledge is one thing, but using it is another. The reality is that 40% of Americans suffer from two or more chronic illnesses, and 3 out of 4 Americans are overweight or obese. It’s also much easier to be independently healthy...

Wellness Optimizing Warrior M.D.
Today we’re continuing our conversation about cholesterol and debunking the myths around it. In their 50s, approximately 40-50% of men have some degree of coronary artery disease. This risk only increases as age advances. Poor food choices, sedentary lifestyle, and exposure to toxins also increases this risk. Half of men who experience a heart attack don’t even have any symptoms prior to this event. For the men who don’t make it through the heart attack, they will never get the chance to do anything about it. This highlights the importance of early detection of heart disease, especially...

Wellness Optimizing Warrior M.D.
This month we’re taking a few episodes to explore things to keep top of mind for men’s health. Even if you’re not a man yourself, the men in your life may have some unique needs and health issues you’ll want to know about. In the United States, heart attacks kill about 325,000 men per year. So, why are men so prone to heart disease? It can develop due to a combination of lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors. A sedentary lifestyle contributes to high blood pressure and an unfavorable lipid profile, among other things. Heavy drinking can also weaken the heart muscle and impair...

092 - Demystifying Health Coverage: What Your Monthly Insurance Premium Actually Buys You
Wellness Optimizing Warrior M.D.
We’re continuing our conversation about insurance coverage today, specifically how it impacts your access to wellness procedures and therapies. All insurance companies are positioned in a particularly advantageous position. People tend to have unrealistic expectations about what they’re being offered, and this usually comes to light when they get denied. Oftentimes, insurance is a lose-win situation, and only becomes a win-win for you when something unfortunate happens and you need high-cost medical care. Each medical insurance company has their own version of a formulary, which is an...

091 - Why Your Vitamins Aren't Covered by Insurance
Wellness Optimizing Warrior M.D.
In this episode we’re discussing vitamins and what insurance coverage looks like for them. IV vitamin therapy is beneficial to your health for so many reasons, but some types may be covered and some may not. Additionally, hospitals also have very specific policies and protocols about what they will offer, and typically they do not offer IV vitamin therapy. Hospitals often cite a lack of scientific evidence for IV vitamin therapy. Yet the truth is that there is actually more scientific support for the vitamins administered during IV therapy than there is for any drug administered in any...

089 - Amazing Benefits of B Vitamins with IV Therapy
Wellness Optimizing Warrior M.D.
Let’s dig deeper into IV vitamin therapy. Specifically, we’re exploring how to administer vitamin therapy and going further in depth with the vitamins themselves. Generally, IV vitamin therapy lasts about 60 minutes, especially if you are getting more than a few vitamins at once. Rushing your infusion is probably not a good thing. Even if you’re eager to save time, it’s much better to dilute the vitamins appropriately and give them time to be administered. The amount of times per month you’ll need an infusion depends on your individual needs and goals. Vitamins are either water...

088 - Revitalize Your Body: The Power of IV Vitamin Therapy
Wellness Optimizing Warrior M.D.
Although IV vitamin therapy is far from mainstream, it’s a great alternative therapy for many reasons. There are many hours that doctors and healthcare professionals have to put into self-education about IV vitamin therapy before they can be comfortable offering it. As a restorative anti-aging practitioner, I believe in allowing the body to heal by providing it the nutrients it needs. IV vitamin therapy allows for the administration of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream. This method of delivery allows for immediate 100% availability to your cells. This is...

087 - NAD: The Secret Miracle Molecule Behind Health and Vitality
Wellness Optimizing Warrior M.D.
In this episode we’re discussing how the body works and why nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD, might be a miracle molecule. You may have heard of NAD before and be aware that it has benefits, but feel unclear about what those actually are. By the end of this episode, you’ll feel confident in discussing this topic. The human body is very complex—we have about 78 organs that keep us alive. The brain has 86 billion nerve cells, and then our bodies produce 50 hormones and thousands of enzymes crucial for various processes. But what would it look like to replenish a universal...
info_outlineThe most recent breakthrough launched in the last decade for vaginal health improvement has been laser technology. This new approach comes from an emphasis on looking for ways to promote health and healing (as opposed to destroying disease). There is a demand for safe treatment for serious medical conditions that cause vaginal discomfort and pain.
Generally, our medical system has fallen short of meeting women’s sexual health and wellbeing needs. The friction that occurs during intercourse can be intolerable and downright painful if a woman is struggling with sensitive tissues and decreased lubrication.
Women experiencing fibroids, adenomyosis, and other estrogen sensitive conditions (like an estrogen sensitive cancer) aren’t able to utilize the benefits of estrogen therapy. Laser therapy gives these women another option to explore.
The cosmetic industry has been using lasers in various applications for a long time. While some laser therapies delivered to other areas, like the face for example, can be harsh, the only way to treat the vagina with lasers is to use a gentle approach. Keep in mind that this treatment isn’t available everywhere, as it can come with certain risks for the medical professionals offering it.
We need to change the idea that a woman’s vaginal wellness is purely related to sex. The truth is that vaginal health is interconnected with other health systems (the urinary system, quite closely, for instance). Check in with your healthcare professionals, especially if you’re experiencing a loss of elasticity, atrophy, or other changes to your vaginal area so you can be proactive in addressing it.
