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

[@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!

[@cinmac3]

How does one know their pain is pelvic pain?

[@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..

[@AlejandroAlvarez-lp8yn]

Man you save my live, I was sick for 3 months pelvic chronic pain, I went to many clinics and doctors none of them found nothing, I follow your recomendations after the second days I was without hurt.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

WOW that is amazing Alejandro! I am so happy that you are better now!!

[@JJ-vp3bd]

What did you do

[@zenmasterjack3873]

Dr Sarno ​@@JJ-vp3bd

[@seagullvictim7563]

What did you do? please.

[@AlejandroAlvarez-lp8yn]

@@JJ-vp3bd This guy offers a free course online, he touch me that hurt is tensión and we could reléase through stretching, meditation, reconnection with the Nature, changing thinks in your life like a job, a wife, identify things that generates tensión or stress in your life. It's crazy but this man save my life. And try to talk to your body that your're fine and in control.

[@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. 😁

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

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

[@elainehewitt6813]

Glad that you loved it!

[@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!

[@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.

[@caliborn6884]

Kind of silly but just hearing Howard’s story about frequently helped my own! Thanks!

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Yeah, glad that it helped! It was nice that he had a personal story about that.

[@TooskeDekker]

Not out yet. But watch this every day!!!! I also want to come out. Happy I found the MBS with Michael! 🎉

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Thanks Tooske! You're doing great!!

If you come out of this shit, I can do it also right? 💪🏼🙏

[@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.

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

Glad that you enjoyed it! 😁

[@tracer97]

I just wanted to add, my TMS pelvic "bladder pain syndrome" with nocturia and urgency pain was debilitating. Now I'm on a mindbody journey, I realise it was a stuck pathway. I have had as a gay man, a positive proven UTI microbiology when I was 17/18 about when the pain started. Sex as self harm, STI associated fear in the lgbt community, and generally not having self compassion. The UTI was real, but has been treated and gone. The symptoms remained, and still flare. But I know pain isn't permanent, and with a kind curious nature - approach the pain fearless with scientific/spiritual inquisity. My pain is mostly gone after decades of headaches, back pains, neck pains, ear, face pain, pelvic pain. I cannot understand why Dr Howard isn't blowing up. I believe the instilled suppression of emotion in men is why chronic pain exists in men, and society as a whole is sociopathic. This goes beyond what everyone thinks.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

I love this! Such a testimony of truth. You have gone through so much...and yet, you persevered and looked deep into the depths of your own soul to sort our the root causes and allow your body to be in balance and harmony. Thank you for this comment.

[@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!

[@computerfastrepair]

So can drinking coffee ☕️ be tms since it always used to give me the runs until i learned it might not be the coffee but a overactive ibs situation?

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Your brain + body can create a conditioned response, in which a particular stimuli activates a response in the body, even if there is not a structural reason. The IBS situation could actually be due to underlying mental/emotional causes, yet, your mind is using coffee as a scapegoat to avoid deeper issues, essentially.

[@computerfastrepair]

@TransformPelvicHealth i can drink coffee now no problem. Wow. I think getting to know this mind stuff really helped

[@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.

Pain free you/youtube...best help out there for that last 20%👊

[@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.

[@davidmetz2640]

I do believe there is an emotional aspect but how does that explain pain with urination and ejaculation without stress.

[@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.

[@elainehewitt6813]

Howard is THE BOMB!!!! Very brave man for standing up for what he believes in despite the censoring of mainstream medical.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Absolutely. So much respect and admiration for Howard.

[@cheryllarue3713]

Done the journey. Used the mind body prescription by dr sarno. Over my life time over 20 labels and have spent four years releasing trauma and emotions and calming the nervous system. I could write a book it has been a ride and a half. Neuroscience was a lot of what I used to. Rewiring the brain. Changing the beliefs

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

That's phenomenal Cheryl!! :)

[@ArefinGamingandWork]

Suffering from urine issues where i have to wait for an hour to stop the urine dribble and thats for 3-4 times a day - kegel exercises made things worse and really dont know what to do

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

That's really frustrating. Initially, reducing pelvic floor tension will help create more use of your sphincter. You could do some of my stretch routines, beyond that, regulating the nervous system by addressing root causes will help to rewire your neural pathways so that your urinary sphincter and genitourinary system are balanced again; the Overcome program guides you through all of this - bit.ly/overcomepelvicpain

[@matthewotton6956]

Ive been struggling with OAB for 13 years and sometimes urinate every 20 minutes. Ive tried everything including surgery, medication, and therapy. Ive never heard anyone relate to the severity that i have had and feel very alone. PS Im a healthy 48 year old male

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

That is a really challenging story. There is a major need to interrupt the patterns of your nervous system, rewire, reveal root causes, and retrain your brain/body/GU system. You can do this! I believe you already reached out to me, but if anyone else is reading and needs help, please reach out to me and I can give you some next steps.

[@loveyfife3622]

Hi Samantha, Yes, not letting go is a major reason that these issues can be created and perpetuated. I have a "for women's" 12 week program + coaching experience that has worked very well for those who have completed it. You can learn about it here: bit.ly/forwomeninfo

[@Nick-o5f]

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.

[@stevetaylor2955]

Why is Dr Schubiner's book so insanely expensive in the UK?

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Hmm...not sure, if you'd like to be a beta reader for my upcoming book, just send me a DM on instagram and I will give you a pre-release copy for free (it is in beta stages, but still close to the completed version).

[@stephenkarlmcqueen8028]

Can mind body cause urinary retention and make it hard to pee and empty the bladder?

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Definitely, as, a really tight pelvic floor causes urinary hesitancy. This happened to me when I went through it. If you have already been checked by a doctor and there is nothing structurally causing this, then yes the brain can do this.

[@stephenkarlmcqueen8028]

@@TransformPelvicHealth yes I’ve had tests and they couldn’t find anything. Thanks so much for coming back to me! Very kind of you and reassuring for me.

[@AG-nn8lp]

No specific injury but mri showed mild bulging discs. Ive had horrible foot pain and numbness in my butt and saddle area. Could hardly pee. Told its NOT the bulging discs because they're mild. Ive been under a lot of chronic stress the year before. Ive been down an entire month and I'm TIRED.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Yeah, that's rough. I get it. Your brain truly can create these symptoms. Simplify some for a bit. Do some meditations, some breathwork, read, do something fun. If you need more specific guidance, you could do my Overcome program or find a mind-body coach to help you reveal the root causes and let them go. :)

[@avamihalik7531]

PS Did you ever notice that when you take a sedative you don't have to pee in the night, point is you don't need a sedative but when you are relaxed and calm and the amygdala is cooler, there isn't that excitability, or threat feeling that make you feel you have to go (flight).

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

That's right, yeah, it affects the NVS.

[@PewPewNevis]

I tried all kind of painkillers and medication against the CPPS, which should affect the pain or a "hyperactive" prostata. However, the only thing that makes my pain go away is Xanax (benzodiapine).

[@jakutz]

Could balanitis be tms?

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

Its hard to comment on that with surety. Skin discoloration can happen due to TMS, skin inflammation/engorgement, I would say that it is possible, as the brain is obviously related to this phenomenon happening.

[@__-wm9lu]

I accept it’s the mind body connection, but where do I go from here? CBT? I no longer have pelvic floor issues, but it’s migrated to hard flaccid and still have bowel issues.

I have horrific bladder pain since almost 3 years (pain, burning, pressure, high leukocytes). Doctors diagnosed me with embedded infection.

It sounds like Mind Body Syndrome. I would start with my 6 episode podcast series so that you know what to do: kzbin.info/aero/PLXKHW90sr9tkj3_oW_m467pCX9bxjrEd2

[@moneygetten]

Try to welcome your symptoms in, it's totaly safe, look at your pain with curiosity... Drop the fear/catastrofizing. Step by step, it's not easy. Lower the danger signals. It's called somatic tracking.

[@johns1577]

I have been disabled by severe scrotal pain for years. A pudendal nerve block took away my pain for 2 hours. Im being offered cryoablation. 😅 hard to conceive this is all in my head. Its worse when im stressed, less when distracted. It doesn't interfere with my sleep - one of the diagnostic criteria for pudendal neuralgia. Can what your selling help a lot of people? Yes. But making blanket statements that this is the answer for everyone is unhelpful for those who truly have a "structural" cause dor their pain. Everyone has childhood issues. I've done that work years ago.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

I am sorry that you are going through this. Even if there is a structural cause, there is a cause for that structural issue; it does not come via randomized entropy. When you look deeply within, you can find the patterns that lead to the reactions to triggers. And at the same time, definitely get medical support if need be, and get relief in the ways that you can. We have seen that the "root cause route" is the most definitive for long-term healing.

[@NEChristo]

Check out Dan Buglio at Pain Free You. It’s not all about childhood issues. I feel you I have done all that work too but am making progress with Dan’s help.

[@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.

[@bozosmith3506]

I have a hard time to connect with people. I just don't know how to start a conversation. Even with some old friends I have, what they tell me does not sound interesting anymore. I have only one thing in mind, to get a woman in order to have physical relationship with and it does not work. No matter how I try to focus on something else does not work. Any other activity is just not appealing or really interesting.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

So part of this work is noticing assumptions about the self, and separating them from who you are. Witness consciousness/being the observer is massively helpful. This is something that we cultivate in the Overcome program with meditations and other methods. That way, you will start to see that just because you have thoughts about "not being good at connecting with others," that does not make it the truth for you, or for all of life. A letting go of that past identity, and coming into the reality of here and now, regardless of what people say or think or do. Love leads the path over fear. You can do it!

[@bozosmith3506]

@@TransformPelvicHealth I don't understand what you are saying. The reallity of here and now is just boring and pointless, I am alone all the time and basically lost motivation in anything. I have been doing meditation for the last 2 years. It looks like it's actually worsening my isolation and it never solved my physical pain and annoying symptoms. I don't really have thoughts about not being good at connecting with others, it's just a pure fact. I didn't use to be like that from what I remember, it's kind of new.

[@TransformPelvicHealth]

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

[@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.
