Breaking the UTI Cycle with Functional Medicine

Did you know that between 50 and 60% of women will experience a UTI (urinary tract infection) in their lifetime? While typically not super dangerous, UTI’s are no fun. You’ve got the often-intense burning with urination, a sense of urgency, and feeling like you have to pee all the time, even if you just went and hardly anything comes out. UTI’s can also cause abdominal pain, back pain, and - if not addressed in a timely manner - can progress to something more serious like a kidney infection.

A good many gals people stuck in a cycle of UTI’s where they don’t stay away. According to one study, about 26% of women have a recurrence during the six months after treatment for their initial UTI, and in a different study, 53% of women aged more than 55 years, and 36% of younger women, reported a recurrence within 1 year after their first UTI was treated.

That’s why Dr. Kate is sharing some of her go-to strategies for helping folks break the UTI cycle using lifestyle changes & specific nutraceutical support in this episode of the Stress Better Podcast.
