My name is Genevieve Mlotkowski and I’m an Oncology trained Naturopath. I'll be discussing Cancer and living well with Cancer and all of the positive changes a Cancer diagnosis can bring to your life. I work with many adults with Stage 4 Cancer and I empower them to live well with Stage 4 Cancer and get the most out of their treatment protocol and how our supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes increase the efficacy of their medical treatment and prevent side effects from the Chemotherapy Agents, Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy. How the power of the mind is more powerful than the power of the body and how the only person who can cure you is yourself. No doctor, Naturopath or anyone externally to you has this power over your body. I'm about to record a 2nd podcast with Daniel Baden on a patient’s story about another positive Cancer patient's journey.

"Master your pain by rewiring your brain" refers to the concept of using neuroplasticity to change the way your brain processes pain. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This concept is increasingly applied in the treatment of chronic pain and emotional distress, as the brain's perception of pain can often become amplified or distorted over time.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) occurs when one of the pelvic organs (rectum, uterus, bladder) sags and may bulge or protrude into the vagina, and in some cases may bulge out of the vagina.
POP affects 50% of women who ever had a baby but can also occur in women who haven’t had a baby from chronic coughing due to lung conditions, straining from constipation and lifting very heavy loads. It is not life threatening but can affect your quality of life in terms of your bladder, bowel and sexual health.
Join Pelvic Health Physiotherapist Trisha Ching on this presentation to learn how to identify if you have a POP, lifestyle advice and treatment options that you can commence straight away to prevent and manage your POP and improve your overall pelvic health and whole-body wellbeing.
