Daria HamrahGUEST
To me, surgery is not any different than preparing for a marathon.
Daria HamrahGUEST
In preparation, you start running like a 5K and then a 10K, and then slowly work yourself up to a marathon.
Daria HamrahGUEST
Surgery is very similar.
Daria HamrahGUEST
I call surgery to be a controlled physiologic stress to our body.
Shauna WattsHOST
You'd never line up for a marathon without training, but so many of us book a procedure without a thought for the body we're bringing to it.
Shauna WattsHOST
Today we're talking about how our face really ages, how to prepare and how to choose who you trust with your face.
Daria HamrahGUEST
The first advice I would give someone, don't jump into a decision.

Shauna WattsHOST
And I know both you and I are very passionate about that preparation, not only involving potentially topicals, but also how that person's sleeping and eating.
speaker_0HOST
That is a great hack.
speaker_0HOST
And the research mentions something about surgery too, right? Prehab.
speaker_1HOST
Yes.
speaker_1HOST
This is a mindset shift.
Kilby MannHOST
First, Dr. Esther Lee describes a communication workshop for pediatric residents that was co-designed and co-led with family partners.
Kilby MannHOST
Next, a team from British Columbia and Nova Scotia and Canada talk about prehabilitation.
Kilby MannHOST
Prehabilitation or prehab means getting a child ready before a major surgery, including optimizing medical issues like nutrition, meeting functional and equipment needs, and supporting psychosocial readiness.
Kilby MannHOST
The team created a toolkit to help clinicians screen for and plan to meet these needs.

Finally, a team from the University of Wisconsin talks about microaggressions.
Ted SchubelHOST
But boy, that makes all kinds of sense.
Ted SchubelHOST
Prehabilitation.
Ted SchubelHOST
That's right.
Ted SchubelHOST
We call it prehab.
Victoria CullenGUEST
So prehabilitation is also an important piece to this.
Jen KennedyHOST
Okay.
Victoria CullenGUEST
Prehabilitation especially, actually when it-- We haven't talked much about incontinence, but making sure you get onto your pelvic floor exercises nice and early, and that you do that under the instruction of a men's health pelvic floor physiotherapist who has specialized-
Jen KennedyHOST
Hmm

Jenny E. PennycuffHOST
Do you see any role of these devices in the role of prehabilitation research?
Daniel I. McIsaacGUEST
Absolutely.
Daniel I. McIsaacGUEST
Prehabilitation research and practice.
Daniel I. McIsaacGUEST
So as someone who runs a team that prehabs people across, I think, five time zones right now, we're always thinking about how do we get good adherence and how do we ensure safety? Now, the data for safety in prehab is actually really compelling, but of course, as programs expand, you get out of tightly controlled research settings, you get more older and vulnerable patients included, then having that extra layer of almost real-time safety monitoring data that you can get from wearables, I think becomes a really important consideration.
Daniel I. McIsaacGUEST
And then in terms of adherence, most programs track adherence with daily log books, whether it's online or sometimes paper and pen, if you can imagine that.
