Stop Treating. Start Preventing. The Truth About Recurrent UTIs.

Fifty to sixty percent of women will get a urinary tract infection at least once in their lifetime — and for many, it won't stop there. So why does almost every conversation about UTIs still end with the same answer: another antibiotic? In this episode of the Your Health University Podcast, host Jamie Preston sits down with Madison Browning, Executive Director of Clinical Services in the Specialty Department at Your Health, to explore what's actually possible when we stop reacting and start preventing. Madison oversees the urology and nephrology divisions and brings the kind of front-line clinical perspective that turns confusing medical information into something anyone can act on. Together, they cover: Why repeated antibiotic use can actually make you more prone to future infections — and what antibiotic resistance really means for your body The honest truth about cranberry: there is science behind it, but probably not in the form you've been using What D-Mannose is, how it works, and why it practically fills the hooks bacteria use to grab onto your urinary tract Vaginal estrogen — the most evidence-backed, most underused prevention option for postmenopausal women, and why the word "estrogen" shouldn't automatically trigger fear The lifestyle changes that cost nothing, require no prescription, and form the foundation of any prevention plan This isn't about abandoning medical care. It's about having a better conversation with your provider — one that goes beyond treating the infection in the moment and starts asking why it keeps happening at all. www.YourHealth.Org
