Our findings from this NIDDK funded trial suggest that the reported benefits of pelvic yoga for urinary incontinence in midlife and older women are not unique to yoga but are instead shared with non-specific physical conditioning exercise.

Dr. Louise Aronson, author of the NYT Bestseller "Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, and Reimagining Life," is leading a 12-week group medical visit series called Age Self Care. Insurance accepted, referral required. September start. osher.ucsf.edu/patient-care/g…

Similar to childcare, elder care is set up with the assumption that there is a dutiful wife/daughter/sister/daughter in law that can simply do this care for free. If you don’t have that, or the women in your life need to work, you will end up spending hundreds of thousands.
