Well Within 10: The WISe Wellness Guild Podcast

This week's Well Within 10 episode features Kelly Soller, Managing Director, and Andrea Ernst, Senior Portfolio Manager, at Fifth Third Private Bank.  

With the political and economic uncertainty in our country and the world, today we talk at a high-level about what is actually going on, what we should be paying attention to and what are some of the levers that are being pulled. Rather than making huge changes in our financial plans and portfolios, what we should be doing is taking a step back, taking a deep breath, and returning back to the basics.

Today, Kelly and Andrea touch on a few key items to help you better understand what (and why) things are happening in our world and in our own pockets financially, and how you can best be prepared.

Stevi Carr, founder of WISe Wellness Guild, dives into Hormone Replacement Therapies (HRT) with Dr. Sarah E. Bartlett, MD. Certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology at The Christ Hospital Health Network, Dr. Bartlett chose early in her career to focus on caring for women outside of pregnancy.

Today we are bringing awareness to your pelvic floor health and how physical therapy helps alleviate pain and discomfort for so many people, especially women.

Stevi Carr, founder of WISe Wellness Guild, sits down with Dr. Sara Koehl from Anchor Wellness, and discusses what we should be looking out for as we age with regards to our pelvic floor health. Dr. Koehl explains that the number one thing that people don't know about their pelvic floor is that it is made up of the same muscular skeletal tissue as our bicep or quads. As we age we loose strength in these muscles, which may show up as leaky urine, painful sex, or pelvic organ prolapse where you'll feel heaviness, dragging, or bulging.

There is help for these conditions. You do not need to live in pain or discomfort. Pelvic floor physical therapy is designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and treat conditions caused by the thinning and weakening of these muscles.

Listen in on the full discussion as Dr. Koehl dives into treatment for postpartum women and for all women as we age.
