Episode 100: Case Study: Electrolyte Imbalances Including Calcium, Potassium, and Sodium May's Anatomy with May Yazdi

Join us for our 100th episode as we celebrate the milestones, memories, and dedicated listeners who have been part of the May’s Anatomy podcast journey over the past four years. As we raise our glasses to a hundred episodes, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the community we've built together. From hiatus to high-note, your commitment to the show has been the heartbeat of May’s Anatomy, pushing us to demystify the complex world of health, wellness, and holistic healing.
Today I introduce a case study of a 58-year-old woman presenting with hypercalcemia and a history of kidney stones. I unpack the significance of maintaining balanced levels of calcium, potassium, and sodium and their impact on the body's physiological functions. I then aim to provide clarity on the presentation, diagnostic process, and treatment implications of these electrolytes. Your insights and experiences are invaluable to our learning community, so I welcome you to share your thoughts and continue the dialogue on these common and sometimes critical medical conditions.
