Episode Details

Ever been told your labs are "normal:while your body insists otherwise? This episode dives into stories that prove why one number on a page rarely tells the whole truth. First, an 85-year-old tennis and pickleball player asks how to finally tackle urinary incontinence — and learns why it's treatable, not inevitable. Then, a longtime listener with a history of thyroid trouble and a suspicious nodule pushes back against being told everything's fine when it clearly isn't. Dr. Adam Brockman and Dr. Bob Martin break down what standard testing misses, what questions to ask your own doctor, and why advocating for yourself is sometimes the most important treatment of all.
