Menopause is part of the normal female reproductive cycle. Throughout puberty, your hormones induce menstruation. Once you have a period, you are fertile. Where puberty is the beginning of your fertile period, menopause marks the end of this time. The mean age for menopause is 51, and while it is associated with numerous uncomfortable symptoms, you can overcome these and live an extraordinary life!

In this podcast, Dr. Daniela Steyn speaks with a pelvic physiotherapist, Gerda Hayden, about menopause. Gerda has always been passionate about all aspects of women's health and health care. She pursued her interest by becoming a pelvic health physiotherapist while pregnant with her first son.

Gerda has held numerous leadership titles and is currently rostered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario to perform internal pelvic exams and is a member of the Women's Health Division with the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.

Gerda has practiced pelvic health physiotherapy in South Africa, the UK and Canada and has encountered women from all walks of life. Her holistic approach ensures that she addresses underlying issues and strives always to see the bigger picture. She keeps abreast of the latest evidence-based research and applies this to her clients. Her thorough, insightful, and effective assessment enables the development of an integrated and comprehensive client-centered treatment strategy.

Gerda has a special interest in the perimenopausal stage of life. She can fit pessaries and silicone devices designed to support pelvic organs and will be offering this service from the Burlington location.

Sleep is one of the most essential functions of the human body, and yet it is often overlooked or given short shrift. Sleep Is critical for our physical and mental health; It helps protect our immune system, repair cell damage, and support brain function. Sleep also plays a vital role in emotional regulation and has been linked to improved mood, decreased anxiety, and reduced stress levels.

In this podcast, Dr. Daniela Steyn talks to Dr. Cara Ooi. Dr. Ooi is a sleep physician and psychiatrist working in Toronto, Canada. She obtained her medical degree from Western University, followed by her residency and subspecialty training in General Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. Dr. Ooi subsequently completed a fellowship in Sleep Medicine, during which she received training in cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia.

Dr. Cara Ooi helps teenagers and young adults get their sleep on track to have more time, energy, and motivation for what matters to them. She is the creator of DECODE ONLINE, an online course for youth and parents.

Dr. Ooi explains why teenagers suffer more from insomnia and sleep difficulties. She also explains why traditional sleep advice does not work for teenagers and what mistakes parents make while guiding their teens through this challenging phase. Dr. Ooi shares some valuable tips on how to get optimal sleep.

#Physicianburnout#Recoverfromburnout#Dr.DanielaSteyn

Physician burnout is a growing concern in the medical community, affecting both doctors and healthcare professionals alike. This issue is characterized by feelings of overwhelming stress, exhaustion, and lack of motivation. There are many contributing factors to physician burnout, including long work hours, increased patient loads, and rising expectations from both patients and medical institutions. Moreover, certain job aspects such as documentation requirements and administrative tasks often leave physicians feeling burned out and unhappy with their careers.

In this podcast Dr. Daniela Steyn talks to Dr. Lara Hochman. Dr. Hochman is a Family Medicine physician, and advocate for fellow doctors' wellbeing amidst rising burnout and dissatisfaction. Dr. Hochman’s own experiences led her to discover the ways physicians lost autonomy. As the founder of Happy Day Health, Dr. Hochman helps patients reclaim their focus.

Dr. Hochman discusses the red flag signs of physician burnout and how changing where you work, whether in the hospital system or a private practice, will prevent burnout from happening.

If you or a loved one are suffering from Burnout, have a look at Wellness MD’s Recover from Burnout online course today! This course explains step by step what burnout is, the pathophysiology behind it, and things you can easily implement to heal from burnout and find joy again.
