The Preventative Healthcare Podcast

Erica"s Story

Erica was a new Mum and felt very alone. She was aware that there was something not quite right with her baby, but just carried on, as her Gp refused to acknowledge all the tell-tale signs that her baby was exhibiting. Her baby was constantly crying, did not sleep well and had awful diarrhoea. Numerous trips to her GP did not result in her concerns being taken seriously. Erica's story is unfortunately a common one. However, it is lovely that Erica is determined that new Mums & Dads have somewhere to go to receive guidance and support if they feel their babies suffer from intolerances. As a result of what Erica had to go through she now makes sure other parents do not have to go through the same.

High Cholesterol

Bernadette was routinely invited by her new GP to have a Well Woman Check, she was shocked to find that she had very high cholesterol. It made her realise that having regular check ups with regard to your health was paramount. Initially Bernadette thought healthy eating and regular exercise would make a difference. However once her consultant had discovered how blocked arteries were, she was immediately told that she would require medication. That routine check up, saved Bernadette's life, as a build up of cholesterol could have led to a heart attack or stroke. Bernadette now leads a fulfilled, happy healthy life and is grateful for that early intervention. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Hypothyrodism

Lorraine had put the fact that she was constantly tired and her hair was falling out, down to having a new baby. She didn't feel she had the 'right to complain' because she was an older Mum and felt so lucky to have her daughter Ice. Little did she know that the constant tiredness was due to her under active thyroid. Lorraine had been putting up with her tiredness for years before she decided to act. A simple blood test completely transformed her life. Lorraine's story is a fascinating one and will resonate with so many people. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
