The Root Cause of Pelvic and Urinary Issues w/Dr. Howard Schubiner

This was so epic. 🤩🤩
I had the opportunity to virtually sit down with THE Dr. Howard Schubiner. The mind-body legend himself, and author of "Unlearn Your Pain."
Dr. Schubiner's work has not only influenced the medical community but has also made a profound impact on my own journey and understanding of Mind-Body Syndrome (TMS).
This interview dives into the underlying root causes of pelvic and urinary issues, exploring the depths of Dr. Schubiner’s knowledge of mind-body medicine.
Join us in exploring the world of mind-body medicine:
01:24 Meet Dr. Schubiner
02:02 What’s Mind Body Syndrome??
05:17 Does a previous injury (such as in the hip or hamstring) have the ability to create chronic pelvic pain?
10:53 I had a great childhood, why am I dealing with these chronic health issues now?
12:38 What is the mind-body cause of overactive bladder? Why are they peeing so much?
18:18 What do you tell the patients who have seemingly done everything right…yet they still have symptoms?
23:29 What are the common threads that in patients that go symptom-free?
25:45 Why does resistance to healing or heavy commitment to healing keep you from healing?
28:51 Dr. Schubiner’s non-negotiables for living a healthy life
Whether you are dealing with these issues personally or have an interest in mind-body medicine, I believe you will find value in our discussion.
A special thank you to Dr. Howard Schubiner for not only sharing his time but for the entirety of his impactful work. It was an absolute honor 🙏🏻✨

Let Dr. Schubiner and I know your biggest takeaway from the interview! Thanks for watching...and experience joy today. -Michael 😁

[@thiagosardenberg353]

Hi, Michael! It is so insanely cool that you got to chat with him. I actually started reading his book soon after I enrolled at Transform - and I've been doing both for nearly a month now (I'm taking my time with the book to spread it into the 4 weeks it recommends). 'Unlearn your pain' is an absolutely illuminating read and companion to your program. I definitely agree with what he says at 12:12 - as an anxious person, I believe a lot of the vicious cycle of pain stems from the feeling of worrying too much about it. A key thing for me has been to practice feeling less reactive to these sensations and, while it's not easy, it really is a game changer! Thanks for the interview! - and love the rap! 🤩

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Great to see you here Thiago! I love his book as well, that's cool how you are using them alongside one another. The program essentially brings the guidance to life with tools that are easy to use each day. Glad that you liked the rap too. 😁

[@Moonless6491]

Michael, I would love to see you have a talk with Dan Buglio

[@thelaceygirl]

Me too!

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

That'd be great, I love Dan. I have reached out twice with no reply to this point. Perhaps if someone from my community makes the request, he might be more likely to collaborate on this form of education. -Michael

[@marly1869]

Same here.. Dan Buglio is another amazing coach in this arena of mind-body work..

[@bladerunner9129]

Another great video. Had watched Howard’s work before. Great to see you both on an interview together.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Glad that you enjoyed it! 😁

[@ramansamal]

Thank You Both, Great Interview.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Glad that you loved it!

[@moniquemontiel6385]

Dr. Schubiner please know you have helped so many lives!! You have helped me on my own journey with MBS and because of this work being done I went back to school to learn more and did the training with you and Hal. Now I’m helping others and want to thank you so much!

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

WOW amazing Monique! I did the training with Howard and Hal too, and hope to see Howard and Charlie this summer. We are all so grateful for Howard's work.

[@elaineyeung7647]

This is so amazing! I’ve watched a couple interviews of Dr Howard Schubiner. I love that this is specific to pelvic pain. It’s relieving to know it’s applicable to the pelvic area as well!

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Glad that it was much more specific and useful!

[@5000dennis_nature]

Very interesting about the FIT criteria I think! Thanks for your channel and your videos, it helps me a lot in understanding the mind-body thing.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Really glad that it's helping!!

[@danpeters6]

Wow this might be the best video I've seen on mind body stuff, thank you for the insight Dr. Schubiner! The mic drop at the end 🤯, I mean that's basically it in a nutshell. I have some work to do....

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Seriously, Dr. Schubiner's the man. Glad that it helped!

[@marly1869]

Wow that mic 🎤 drop is amazing.. really resonated with me. Thank you both and Dr Schubiner you are truly amazing..🙏🏼🫶🏼

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

For sure, Dr. Schubiner brought the truth bombs!

[@MrEaglebak]

Great stuff, these sort of interviews help so much to convince our brains of MBS, sort of affirmations to hear another opinion from another person saying the same. I have just finished the overcome program, would advise people to do this, it can really change you🙏

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Way to go on finishing the Overcome program!! Yes, it's helpful to hear it from many different people, in different ways.

[@ChristianAddeo]

Hey Michael, I am an 18-year-old college kid who has been dealing with pelvic pain for the last five months. I have gone to many urologists, taken many medications and antibiotics (not a good idea), and am now doing physical therapy. I have found that through physical therapy I am finally finding some relief and am using the bathroom less, but lifting and running is still not my friend and results in many bad symptoms like burning everywhere. What would you say is the best way to go from 80% better to 100% pain-free. Although my quality of life has improved, I cannot return to being as physically active as I have been. Thanks for the amazing video, would love to see what you say.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Hey Christian, Sorry to hear that you have been going through this. The last 20% is mental for sure. It's about knowing that there is NO DAMAGE being done to your body; when you know that this is mind-body syndrome and not structural. It is about not trying to hard to heal, and instead, letting go of the dysfunctional patterns that are creating autonomic nervous system activation. Overcoming the conditioned responses. I recommend the book "The Way Out" by Alan Gordon, also my 6 episode podcast series: kzbin.info/aero/PLXKHW90sr9tkj3_oW_m467pCX9bxjrEd2 /// if you need more, reach out to me on the Contact page of my website and I can direct you more. You can do this. -Michael

[@andrewfleming86]

I can’t believe Dr Schubiner didn’t rap battle you. He’s been known to bust phony MCs! Joking… great that you don’t take things too seriously. Good stuff.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Dr. Schubs can definitely spit bars, but he was just taking it easy on me.

[@akshaygoyal890]

Hi michael !! Like everyone got this for first time and they dont know what happened that began the fear-pain cycle just curious if a person knows the mind and body aspect and someday he got this in his perenium will it become chronic or will symptoms amplify further ?

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Moving forward, now that you are aware of the mind-body connection, you will be able to catch things much faster, and make the appropriate adjustments. This means that you don't have to develop chronic mind body syndrome issues again...since you will be listening to your body and emotions much more closely than before.

[@user-zu4jz1hx2w]

Hello Michael,I follow you over 2 weeks and I’m glad.It’s a good idea to eat oatmeal with:wallnuts,pumpkin seed,..everyday.Dies this irritates a pelvic floor or helps?Please be kind and repond.Now you’re my follower.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Hi there, that is a healthy meal to eat. Of course, every body is different. Food does not affect the pelvic floor as much as you might think; the brain is turning on or off the alarm signal of pain or dysfunction.

[@thelaceygirl]

If a nerve like the pudendal nerve innervates a range of areas, then wouldn’t it make sense that the pain would move around amongst different areas that the nerve feeds? Like the rectum, the vagina and the urethra?

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

It doesn't have to. Ultimately, you have nerves throughout your entire body, meaning that mind-body conditions can (and do) show up just about anywhere. This can have to do with learned pain and other reasons why it is even showing up in the "root region." I go over the reasons why it might be showing up in this part of the body in my podcast. It can easily move locations, but it does not have to. That would also make it a purely neurological phenomenon, and it goes beyond the mechanical structure of our anatomy. Our thoughts and emotions are heavily influential.

[@nfernandez11163]

I’d like to view a discussion between you and Urologists and tell them NOT to throw medicine at us and listen to us. Not all treatment is medicine or procedures. Oh, by the way, I am a Physician.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

I am considering ways in which I can do this. I am considering presenting a large collection of data from real people who have received malpractice level treatment due to ignorance in the field to major urological associations.

[@SweetiePieTweety]

It can be structural and move around with connective tissue disorders…. Laxity in colon and bladder and blood vessel and tendon tissues based on weather and histamine consumption or production can produce pain pressure in the region based on many many structural factors like bowel and bladder contents when the support systems are compromised and the blood vessels and tendons are responding to tissue inflammation. It can be something other than conditioned. I’m not saying that conditioning can’t absolutely produce this but there are other things that need to be checked out and potentially pursued especially things like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and connective tissue disorders Maso activation because of the mass cells are going off in an area causing inflammation are your system is dumping oxalates because of a histamine intolerance it is something different than what you are describing.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Certain syndromes such as Ehlers-Danlos do need to be taken into consideration when addressing something like pelvic floor dysfunction. The mind-body system is complex and can have organic disease components, and psychophysiologic processes. At times there are overlaps. By addressing the mind-body arena, you will see significant gains in your management and overall lifestyle, even amidst a structural issue. To see the possibility of breaking through structural, tissue issues, my best recommendation is Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, and going all-in on psychoneuroimmunology and epigenetic expression modification. Thanks for sharing! -Michael

[@miquelbernado2353]

Often self-hatred is the main issue !

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

True, self-love is a healing balm coverall.

[@cathyjennings5580]

Our VAGUS NERVE SYSTEM connected to the BRAIN. PLEASE? 😢😮

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Ultimately, all of the mindbody is one in the same; I would agree. Division is just useful for communicative transmission.
