  • Stop the Leaks! Improving Health through Better Incontinence Care at Home
    Jun 28 2025

    Incontinence can be challenging for almost anyone, and it can be particularly difficult for frail, older patients as well as those on Medicare and Medicaid. Today's guests are here to let you know that it doesn't have to be.

    They're here to give us a sneak peek into a soon-to-be-published study that patients, physicians and caregivers can all take comfort in, because it demonstrates how an easy-to-implement program can generate significant symptom improvement and dramatically increase quality of life for incontinence sufferers.

    For more than twenty years, Tenderheart Health Outcomes has been offering personalized incontinence coaching, high-quality products and close, personal support for members of the incontinence community. Now they've partnered with researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Minnesota to evaluate the effectiveness of a program that combines expert coaching, basic behavioral modifications, simple lifestyle changes and the use of appropriate absorbent products to generate measurable results in a population where effective treatments are often hard to come by.

    It's a fascinating and important conversation with Tina Harris from Tenderheart, Dr. Diane K. Newman from the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Kristine Talley from the University of Minnesota.

  • Women spend almost half their lives post menopause. Why is it still so misunderstood?
    Jun 13 2025

    Menopause is something that every woman will have to contend with - and nowadays, women spend 40% or more of their lives following the transition. You'd think that something that's so common would be better understood. Unfortunately, there are still an enormous number of misconceptions about menopause - what it is, what to expect, how to treat it and more.

    Today's guest is Ingrid Harm-Ernandes, a physical therapist with more than 40 years of clinical experience, here to dispel some of those misconceptions and help women have a more comfortable, confident journey through menopause and beyond.

    She's currently co-director and mentor for the Women's Health Physical Therapy Residency Program at Duke University and a member of the Medical Advisory Committee of the National Menopause Foundation. She's also the author of The Musculoskeletal Mystery: How to Solve Your Pelvic Floor Symptoms, aimed at helping women understand and address a range of pelvic floor conditions.
