Hormonal IUDs — Short and Longterm Impacts
What are the potential health trade-offs of getting a hormonal IUD for women in their 30s? There seems to be limited reliable data that’s easily findable and understandable on this topic. I couldn’t find much searching your website. I’m a 31 year old female trying to identify the best path forward in managing a disruptive menstrual cycle. In this context, “disruptive” means PMS symptoms that significantly negatively impact ~8 days every month, and create an unsustainable lifestyle. Normal doctors have no value-add when this has been discussed with them.
Dr. Mithu Storoni-stress proof your life
More of a suggestion than a question…can you please consider interviewing this lovely lady? I’m not related or affiliated to her in any way. It just seems like an excellent match for your podcast! She has a book out and a new one coming out later in 2024. “Mithu Storoni is a University of Cambridge-trained medical doctor (MD), certified in Ophthalmology, and also holds a PhD in Neuro-ophthalmology.”
An idea about dreaming
I've lost track of who said this "Dreams are real while you are in them" but combine this with Stanley Greenspan "emotion organizes experience and behavior" and Daniel Siegel "It has been proposed that the left prefrontal cortex plays a dominant role in encoding of episodic memory whereas the right prefrontal cortex is essential in episodic retrieval." Then, is it possible that yesterdays issues are combined along emotional lines with previous events of the same emotion from the retrieval side and "lived" in the dream into storage? Maybe that's how they are resolved?
