EP 24. Are Supplements Necessary?

En este episodio hablamos con Sandra Gómez, fisioterapeuta especializada en suelo pélvico y sexóloga, sobre la importancia de cuidar una parte del cuerpo de la que casi no se habla. Hablamos de pérdidas de orina, dolor en las relaciones, ejercicio físico, anticonceptivos hormonales, dolor menstrual y otros síntomas que muchas veces se normalizan cuando no deberían. Además, desmontamos mitos frecuentes y explicamos por qué el suelo pélvico también es importante en la salud masculina. Un episodio práctico para entender que vivir con molestias no es normal y que tiene solución.

Eyes don't work in isolation: they can reveal a lot about overall health. In this episode, ophthalmologist Sara Mora explains how diseases like diabetes or hypertension can be detected through vision and what signs should alert us. We also cover topics such as dry eye, eye strain, contact lens use, and factors like pregnancy or menopause. A reminder that taking care of eye health is key and that seeing well doesn't always mean being well.

Hellooo :)In this latest episode of the season, we discuss one of the most frequent (and misunderstood) topics in medical consultations: the chronic use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like omeprazole, pantoprazole, esomeprazole, as well as H2 blockers like famotidine, often for gastrointestinal issues such as dyspepsia or reflux. But first, I'll explain which cells produce acid, why we need it, and what can happen when we block it for too long. I'll also cover the causes behind symptoms like reflux, dyspepsia, or heavy digestion, and when it makes sense to use PPIs on a short-term or longer-term basis.Additionally, I'll try to review the diagnostic algorithm for different clinical cases (reflux, esophagitis, functional dyspepsia, eosinophilic esophagitis) with you, and we'll discuss situations where dietary supplements or lifestyle adjustments might be helpful.Everything with a clear goal: neither to demonize nor idealize these medications, but to understand well how and when to use them.I hope you enjoy it and, above all, find it very useful :)For more information, you know you can find me on my Instagram @isabelvina where I share daily content My TikTok @isabelvinabasOn my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-dfdxLBcvfztBvRAKZSXGQAnd the supplements formulated by me https://ivbwellness.comFor more information, you know you can find me on my Instagram @isabelvina where I share daily content My TikTok @isabelvinabasOn my YouTube channel YouTube ChannelAnd the supplements formulated by me on my website My Website

Hello :)In today's episode, I try to explain why chronic stress (both mental and physical) can directly affect our reproductive axis and, at the same time, indirectly affect other hormonal axes like the thyroid axis and prolactin, contributing to the worsening of stress-related reproductive symptoms by perpetuating the stress cycle --> lack of adequate GnRH synthesis --> FSH and LH --> regular menstruation, ovulation, testosterone production...I also talk about several supplements that ALWAYS follow lifestyle measures and do not replace them, which are:Stress: magnesium, omega 3, glycine, theanine, reishi, rhodiola, schisandra, ashwagandha, B vitamins like B12, B6, B9...Thyroid function: myo-inositol, CoQ10, selenium, iodine, vitamins B1 and B3..Prolactin: vitex agnus (chasteberry) and magnesiumI hope it's helpful :) a kissFor more information, you know you can find me on my Instagram @isabelvina where I share daily contentMy TikTok @isabelvinabasOn my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-dfdxLBcvfztBvRAKZSXGQAnd the supplements formulated by me https://ivbwellness.comFor more information, you know you can find me on my Instagram @isabelvina where I share daily contentMy TikTok @isabelvinabasOn my YouTube channel YouTube ChannelAnd the supplements formulated by me on my website My Website

Hola :) Thank you so much for being here another day :)In today's episode, I'll talk to you about What lipoprotein(a) is and why it's not the same as traditional cholesterol. How having elevated levels affects your risk of heart attack, heart failure, aortic valve stenosis, or stroke, even if your cholesterol is "perfect." Why it has a strong genetic component and how it's inherited. Why everyone should have their lipoprotein levels measured in their blood at least once in their lifetime. What good levels are (125 nmol/L / 50 mg/dL). What extra tests should be done if your levels are high, in case you have silent repercussions on your health. What can be done if you have high Lp(a) in your daily life, including diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements that can address different pathways involved in cardiovascular risk and that, by controlling it, will mitigate the genetic risk of high Lp(a).

Hello :)In today's episode, I'll tell you about:-Why, as much as possible, it's important to reduce our daily exposure to hormonal disruptors (compounds that can interfere with the proper functioning of our hormones by going unnoticed) and how, in this context, we can replace the pans we use daily for cooking with pans that don't contain components that detach and act as hormonal disruptors:You can look for them exactly like this in physical or online stores, although I'll provide some brands to help you out. NONE of these are sponsored; I pay for them myself when I buy some brands I use, haha!-Mineral iron: some brands: De Buyer.-Cast iron: Lodge-Enameled cast iron: Le Cruset, Staub-Stainless steel: there are several brands, De Buyer also has them.
