September Topics & Descriptions:

September 9 – Emsella, Pelvic Floor Health, and Incontinence (Swathi Rao, PA-C)
Pelvic floor health is a critical but often overlooked part of overall wellness. In this class, we’ll discuss why strengthening the pelvic floor is essential for bladder control, sexual health, and core stability. You’ll learn how issues like incontinence develop, what lifestyle strategies can help, and how treatments such as Emsella – a non-invasive, chair-based therapy – can dramatically improve function and quality of life.

September 16 – The Power of NAD+: Boost Energy, Brain, and Longevity (Swathi Rao, PA-C) NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a vital molecule your body needs for energy production, cellular repair, and healthy aging. It’s also one of the most talked-about topics in longevity and wellness today, with many calling it a key to staying younger, sharper, and more energized. Over time, NAD+ levels naturally decline, which can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, and increased risk of age-related disease. This session will explain the role of NAD+ in the body, explore the potential benefits of NAD IV Therapy for brain health, metabolism, and longevity, and highlight how it may fit into a broader functional medicine plan.
