Form, Function and Flow Lab with Dr. KateEpisode 51: New Pregnancy ProgramIn this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked my new pregnancy program. I talk a lot about C-section rehabilitation, pelvic floor issues, diastasis recti, and more. However, I wanted to find a program that is most suitable for pregnant patients since I work a lot with them. With the insurance system that we have, my pregnant patients will only come to me when they are already in pain. So, I wanted to have a program for them so they can work on certain exercises, mindset, and movements before they even have pain. Th...2022-06-1216 min

Form, Function and Flow Lab with Dr. KateEpisode 50: Medicine is Gray NOT Black and White - Part 2In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked more about medicine not being black and white. I already talked about this topic weeks ago when I told you guys about when I went for a check-up because I’ve been feeling fatigued. The PCP who saw me missed my issues with my thyroid, and I had to ask my Gynecologist during our yearly check-up to check if there is an issue in the area.

I wanted to discuss what kinds of questions you need to be asking when you go to your doctor for an evaluation and when should you get a second opinion. I decided to do this because I recently went to a PCP appointment, which I haven’t gone to in a long time. When I got my results back, they were all normal, but I think it wasn’t a comprehensive process to take a look a...2022-05-1515 min

Form, Function and Flow Lab with Dr. KateEpisode 46: Prevention is Key in Having as few as possible Pregnancy PitfallsIn this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about how prevention is so much easier than fixing a problem when it comes to pregnancy. It’s not usually how things happen in the office because people come to the clinic when they are already having an issue after talking to their OB-GYN. Another factor that creates this situation is the insurance system in our country. You cannot go and see a practitioner if you have no problems yet. That is why I wanted to talk about some tips to help pregnant women out...2022-05-0814 min
