EP 808: What the Heck is Holistic Urology and What To Do With a Tumor in the Kidney!

I'm Dr. Mistry.

I'm a board-certified urologist.

Our urology practice is unique in the manner in which we approach men's health and urologic health, both for men and women.

All told, we have a very holistic approach.

We try to use more natural and nutritional-based therapies in addition to surgery and medications and all the standard things you'll get from a urologist.

But when you come to us with a problem, it's not just going to be a medication or a surgical procedure that you're going to be offered.

You're going to be offered ways of behavioral therapy, mechanical therapy.

You'll be offered psychological therapy if that's something that's important to you or your problem justifies it.

And I think in the end, you leave your treatment here feeling much better cared for and much better prepared to deal with things going forward.

That's right.

You're the first surgeon I've ever met who will prescribe supplements first sometimes.

Well, sometimes, especially young patients who are not looking to get on meds.

And I'm a big believer that feeling like you're in control of your health, you're in control, is a major step in getting you to take control of your disease process.

You mean you are in control, not you're in control.

Not you're in control.

But we also

offer.

Yeah, we offer lots of urine control.

Yeah.

That's pretty good.

Thank you.

That's why you're a professional.

The idea that many times when patients are diagnosed with a new cancer diagnosis or stones or anything else that they feel is out of their control, the first thing they ask about is, what should I eat?

Yeah, every time you said.

And it psychologically has everything to do with about control.
