In Pursuit of Ikigai: A Journey Beyond Medicine

Cocoa Pods

Get ready for an enlightening conversation on gastrointestinal bleeding, as Dr. Bola Sogade and Dr. Sesi Dosumu Ogunbi help you unravel this complex medical condition. Promising a wealth of knowledge, we take you through the intricate details of diagnosing and treating both upper and lower GI bleeding. We'll highlight the importance of a thorough medical history and physical examination, and discuss various diagnostic tests from stool studies to imaging.
We're thrilled to have Dr. Ogunbi, who brings a unique perspective on how pregnancy and childbirth can influence lower GI bleeding and how it can be managed. Moving up the GI tract, let's talk potential irritants, symptoms, causes, and treatments of upper GI bleeding. Dr. Ogunbi will also delve into how liver problems can increase the risk of upper GI bleeding. Expect to uncover the mysteries of gastro-osophageal reflux disease (GERD) - its symptoms, causes, and treatments.
But it's not all about the medical terms and conditions. We're also going to deep dive into a conversation about life purpose and the Japanese concept of Ikigai. Both Dr. Ogunbi and I believe that having a clear purpose can be the ultimate source of motivation, especially in trying times. We're going to explore the ways to discover your own Ikigai and how it can give your life a newfound meaning. Join us on Cocoa Pods Podcast, where we aim to increase awareness about health issues that affect women before, during, and after pregnancy.
