In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom talks with Michael Hodge – a mind / body coach specializing in men’s pelvic health. He shares his personal journey with pelvic pain and how it led him to become a pelvic health specialist. He discusses the link between pelvic pain and mind-body principles, and how anxiety and body chemistry can affect pelvic pain. He explores the concept of emotional pain versus physical pain and how the brain chooses physical pain as a coping mechanism. He highlights the importance of addressing the root cause of physical symptoms and the need for a holistic approach that allows individuals to feel emotions and not just try to fix them. Michael Hodge went through 5 years of severe pelvic pain, nagging urinary issues, and deflating sexual dysfunction in his 20’s. After returning back to strength, he went on a deep path to discover the root cause of these perplexing mind-body issues. Since teaming up with well-known pelvic expert Dr. Brianne Grogan, Michael has helped over 1,000 men to recover through a proven program that is beginning to capture the attention of scientists and physicians hungry for a proven treatment.
