Conventional Western medicine is highly effective at treating disease, but is relatively limited when it comes to preventative care and root-cause approaches. Some practitioners have since adopted complementary, integrative interventions to enable a more personalized, holistic approach to care.

Among them is Dr. Gary Goldman M.D, a Cornell trained physician practicing Integrative Gynecology and Functional Medicine in New York City. He joins podcast host Chloe Harrouche to clarify how integrative medicine unlocks the potential for women’s health, highlighting the importance of thinking outside the box and finding individualized solutions.

In this episode, they explore the root causes of chronic UTIs and the role of dysbiosis, addressing the microbiome as a crucial aspect of treatment. They also address the rise in infertility due to various factors, including age, stress, body fat, the use of birth control and its impact on hormone balance. This episode is great for anyone interested in exploring an integrative approach to their health and its ability to change their outcomes.
