How Women Can Reduce Fall Risk and Stay Independent Longer

Descripción

In this episode of Women’s Healthspan Voices, I discuss why falls are one of the leading causes of injury and loss of independence in older women. I walk through the biggest contributors to fall risk, including medications, poor balance, muscle loss, low bone density, hearing and vision changes, sleep problems, and home hazards. I also share practical, evidence-based ways to reduce fall risk and protect long-term mobility, strength, and quality of life. - - - - - Dr. McShane is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology as well as reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She earned her medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine. She then pursued her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Boston Hospital for Women, followed by completing her fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. In addition to Dr. McShane’s extensive experience with treating infertility, she has dedicated decades of her career to educating the next generation of reproductive endocrinologists. Dr. McShane has served as an instructor in OB/GYN at Boston Hospital for Women, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, UMass Medical Center, and University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. After her initial practice with reproductive-aged women, mostly seeking fertility, Dr. McShane became focused on the health of postmenopausal women following her own life journey and founded a video series. She is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). To further pursue her deep interest in women’s health in developing countries, Dr. McShane completed her Certificate in Global Public Health in May 2014 at Colorado School of Public Health. Dr. McShane has authored reports and abstracts on topics such as in vitro fertilization, preimplantation genetic testing, and fertility preservation. - - - - - Dr. Pat McShane, MD LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/pat-mcshane-0535ba3/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/pat-mcshane-0535ba3/] Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.womenshealthspan.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.womenshealthspan.net/] YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@mcshanepmcshane9303⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@mcshanepmcshane9303] Produced by DrTalks: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drtalks.com/podcast/ [https://drtalks.com/podcast/]

Burning Mouth Syndrome: The Menopause Symptom Too Many Women Don’t Know About

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Susan Sklar to explore Burning Mouth Syndrome, a painful condition that affects many women during perimenopause and menopause but often goes undiagnosed. We discuss how declining hormones, nerve health, nutrition, inflammation, thyroid function, and chronic stress may all contribute to symptoms, and why a personalized, functional medicine approach can offer hope when conventional treatments provide few answers. - - - - - Connect with Our Guest: Dr. Sklar is a Harvard-trained gynecologist and founder of the Sklar Center for Women’s Wellness in Long Beach, California. After overcoming her own health challenges—including gluten intolerance, hormonal imbalances, and osteoarthritis—she developed the Sklar Method Protocols to help people restore vitality and thrive in midlife and beyond. With over 20 years of experience in obstetrics and gynecology, she has advanced training in anti-aging, regenerative medicine, and sexual health. She is certified in the Bredesen Protocol for addressing early cognitive decline. Her work focuses on identifying and correcting underlying hormonal and biochemical imbalances to support long-term health, energy, and quality of life. For the past decade, she has focused on burning mouth syndrome, a puzzling neuropathic pain condition that mainly affects perimenopausal and menopausal women. Hormone changes appear to be an important driver of this condition. A functional medicine approach to treatment has been helpful for this syndrome, which has few solutions in the conventional medicine arena. Dr. Sklar is passionate about empowering individuals with the tools and knowledge to live longer, healthier, and more vibrant lives.
