Beyond Our Lips Ginny Winston, MD & Lora Gaxiola, DMD

This episode may be trash, and if you make it to the end you'll understand why. We're talking braces and pre-teens, with a little aging and trashed pelvises thrown in the mix. Happy 2022!

In this episode, we're continuing our conversation with Dr. Michelle Downing. We get into anesthesia options for childbirth including epidurals, spinals, and options for pain management. 

Today we talk all things anesthesia with the brilliant and talented Michelle Downing, MD, Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologist and bestie to Dr. Ginny and Dr. Lora. We round out the tori trifecta (coined it!), talk about what general anesthesia does and doesn't do and why you feel so groggy afterward. We also get into lighter sedation methods, why Dr. Michelle totally respects them, and what to ask your healthcare provider if you are getting this type of anesthesia. Also, what is propofol? Dr. Michelle knows! Listen in to find out!

In this episode the docs talk about honing intuition, that little predictive voice in your head, and then talk bone health, how to have it and maintain it throughout your life. This is a great one for listeners of all ages! 

And everyone knows it. In this episode, we talk all things oral. As in Invisalign, mouthguards, sleep apnea, even barnacles. Did you know you can get oral barnacles?

First we talk logistics of car repair, then address a very common issue Dr. Ginny has been seeing lately in her practice (hint: it relates to sexy time *or lack thereof). Then, of course we must discuss our thoughts on this year's Oscars.
