now from the mall of america in minneapolis, st.paul. please welcome pediatric surgeon, dr. allen selner and cohost mimi umidon, and stuart pankin. (audience applause) - hello twin city (audience applause) - and you all have walked in your shoes, right? - [audience] yeah. (audience applause) - you know really is amazing how many people are now walking pain-free because of walkfit orthotics. people just like many of you and you at home who had foot pain and foot related pain. we're talking leg cramps, aching knees and hips, lower back pain. and it all began with their feet. walks into orthotics went into their shoes, straightened out their feet. and the other problems went away too - stuart, you've heard me say this for years. it's alignment, alignment, alignment. you align your feet and you help align your whole body. as a doctor, it is so gratifying to hear from so many patients and friends. it whose lives have beenear dramatically affected by wearing walkfits

they're up, they're out, they're golfing, walking, pishopng. doing whatever they want to do pain free. - but you're probably all wondering what we'reoi dng here at the mall of america. well, we have a couple of big announcements to make and what a better place to come than the biggest enclosed shopping and entertainment complex in the us. - talk about being on your feet under this roof. there's a full amusement park with dozens of rides. it's an underwater adventure area and over a mile and a half of walk ways. - the perfect place for our big announcement, stuart. - well, it's been seven years since people began putting walkfits in their shoes. the last time we got together, there were one and a half million walkfits sold. now, there are millions happy walking users. - [mimi] and we're talking worldwide. walkfits are being used by people in 58 countries on six continents. walkfit orthotics are now the number one custom fitted orthotic in the world. - because they work. heel spurs, hammer-toes, bunions, shin-splints, knee pain, hip pain, back pain.

most of these problems are aggravated by poor alignment. walkfits are true orthotics that when you put them in your shoes increase your balance stability and alignment. - and we've heard from literally thousands of people out there. all had one thing in common, pain. walkfits went into their shoed s anthe pain went away. i got a chance to fly around the country to meet just some of those people. - i couldn't believe going from that severe pain to no pain, no foot pain, no ankle pain, no arch pain. and it was like, oh, i can walk again. i don't hurt. i can move. i can be normal. i can work. i can be on my feet for hours. i am out of pain. there is no pain. there is no pain. - couple months ago i found out i was a borderline diabetic and the things i have to do to change it are is the exercise the better. but the exercise is the most important part. well, it's not always that easy to do that when you're a large person, i walk with my wife a lot, but i have trouble keeping up with her.

i try, try playing catch up the whole time and it doesn't always work. or in the past it didn't work. now it does. the pain has gone in my knee. i'm still losing weight. i can't see myself walking without these things now. one day i had pain in my feet, pain in my knees. the next day i had no pain at all. and the only difference was putting them in my shoes. - i couldn't walk. at the very worst, my feet would get so bad that i literally had to turn my feet and walk on the sides of my feet. i must've spent well into the thousands trying to cure my problem and with my feet, nothing worked. the walkfit orthotics are fantastic. it's the difference between doing the things in life that i want to do that i love, or just getting through the day with the limping around, with as little pain as possible. now, the reason that i can run and that i can just have a normal life. i can walk bare foot. i can wear pretty shoes. i can do everything i want and not have any pain. i will always have them and i will always wear them. - now we've seen these blocks before.

- yes, they represent your body, your foot, your ankle, your knee, your hip, your back, all the way up. when everything's aligned, it's stable. but what happens when your foot or your ankle goes out of alignment. everything compensates. your bones can't support you. so your muscles try and you end up with pain somewhere between your feet and your back. the beauty of an orthotic is it aligns the foot and ankle. then everything else goes back into balance. the walk that makes you feel a whole lot better. as you can see in this animation, if you're out of alignment, the whole body suffers, the ankle breaks down the knees turn inward. the hip drops. the back, tries to compensate, putting incredible strain on all your muscles and tenants, but with the walkfit you help realign the heel and ankle, the knees strings, the hip realigns. you're putting your entire body in better balance with stability and comfort. remember, we're not just treating a foot problem. we're treating a body problem as well. - so how quickly can you expect to see changes with walkfit and how dramatic can those changes be?

just a couple of days ago, i set up shop here at the mall of america. hundreds of midwestern folks lined up to test the orthotics. and they were astounded by how the walkfits could instantly improve their stability and balance. - wow! - i'm going to push down. - alright. - you resist don't let me do it. without the walkfits. janet was a pushover. once you had a pair of walkfits under her feet. don't worry - out of control - her heels didn't come up. her toes didn't grab. and her weight was properly supported giving her strength and stability. what do you think? - it's all difference in the world. - oh, that's pretty impressive. - oh, that's amazing. - okay, that's it. (laughs) look at this, me him. i'm going to do it again, you resist. what do you think? - unbelievable. it works. (laughs) - wow.

- oh, much better - what do you think? - its good - i felt awesome. - i know - oh my gosh - its awesome, that did not just happen. - wow, i didn't move. - no, you didn't move because you all balanced you all in alignment. - lets do it again - i've been sitting over there watching you guys. and i think, you always think to something up with something. that really changed my balance, and i'm tellinu.g yo i'm on like 10 hours a day, i'm desperate for something different. and i can't, i just can't believe the difference it made in my balance. i'm not, i can do not. - well, i love my orthotics doc, but this walkfit looks a little different than the old walkfit. - well, mimi, we still have the same effect of walkfit design as before. but we added a specialized gel pad, where it counts most directly under the heel. with this gel pad, you get much more cushioning and protection. - but everything else that made the walk fit so effective, it's still the same, right doc? - the shape of the new walkfit is the same and the support and the stability are the same. it all begins with a bio-lock heel cup. it supports both sides and the back of your foot

to help lock the foot in and keep the heel from rolling. this is extremely important for stability. then you've got your metatarsal and sagittal support. this helps distribute the excessive forces cln evenly and correctly. and most important. the walk that flexes to help absorb shock and then returns the energy to your foot to help you walk. your foot actually conforms to the walk fit. not the other way around. - we discussed this during the last show. it's like those back chairs that place your back and spine in the correct position to alleviate the pressure and the pain. and the walkfit does the same for your feet. - exactly, and we still have our patented comfort arch inserts, three different thicknesses. these are going to give you the kind of fit and comfort you want. the very first time you put them in your shoes. we now have an orthotic that protects stabilizes cushions and absorb shock like nothing else. - i've been wearing these for, i bet you three years now. i've got pair in my work boots and i got a pair and the shoes that i wear on the house all day.

every pair of shoes that i wear, i have, if i don't wear them, then my feet ache again. - i tore my acl in my left knee. then i tore the one in my right knee. and after that i said, okay, that's it. i'm not going to play anymore. walkfit has changed my life. i never thought that they could do what they do for me. its just, it's amazing. - now there's to the point where i would just, kind of crawl, almost literally crawled. i kept living on premise that it was going to go away. well, it didn't go away until i discovered the walkfit. i'm able to get up and not have to hobble before i go to move and do more things than i was able to do before. if i didn't have my walkfits, i'd be back and i'd be back in pain. i'm most assured of that. - this is an incredibly good product. i am not being paid to endorse this. i love the product. i felt that it was a good thing to let the manufacturer know how happy i was with the product and how our patients are happy with it. and i would tell anybody that this is the right thing for them. - i wear orthotics in my shoes every day.

the fact is that they've changed the way i live. i always thought the pain in my feet and legs were because i was overweight. i now walk and exercise more with comfort and with much less pain - athletes and those who could afford them have been using them for years. until now they've just been too expensive. finally, there's an affordable orthotic, everyone can use. so affordable that even if you own the old walkfits, you want the new walkfit platinum. - we'll be right back.

my back feels better. i'm going to wear them all the time. (audience applause) - what about all these cushions and inserts we've been putting in our shoes for years. - a lot of people buy these things and they do cushion, but can't imagine they shock absorb very well. - well, what about this gel thing? it's very popular, - well better, and that's why a new walkfit orthotics has a gel heel for added cushioning. but by themselves with the support and stability and how do they help with? - alignment, alignment, alignment! - alignment, and stability. and don't forget, we have holes in the walk that keep your feet cool all the time. - okay, now doc, tell us exactly what's happening down there with our feet and why everyone should wear a walkfit. - okay, let's go take a look at the skeletal muscles again. now, as i've said before, there are 26 bones in the foot. and they all must work in harmony. when you walk, the foot collapses and the bones can go out of alignment. not only can that result in hip, knee and back pain, but it can lead to hammer-toes corns and calluses as well. now, the walkfit is a true orthotic.

and when i place it under the foot and press down, you'll see that the authentic is maintaining the alignment of the foot. - the walkfit really can make a dramatic difference in your life. - even if all you doing is shopping. now, just before the holidays, we gathered together a group of women and gave them one instruction, shop till you drop. they were very excited. but after several hours on their feet, what they found is that walking caand rrying all those bags of gifts was no holiday tree. - my feet hurt and my knees, - i feel tired. my feet hurt. - i am tired. my feet arete prty sore. - my hip is starting to hurt, my shoulders hurt, and i just want to go home and go to bed. - so we gave them walkfits. then a week later, we brought them back with the same instruction. shop till you drop. this time, it was a different story, their feet, their knees and their backs didn't hurt. - lower back pain gone, also pain on the bones

of my feet gone. - my focus was not on my feet. - they're great, they're absolutely wonderful. - i am pain free. - it feels so much better today. - i have just literally shopped til i dropped, but i'm still standing. - the difference is unbelievable. i'd had these things for week, it is unfreaking believable. - let me tell you. they were really one happy group. - doc, these are good for kids and seniors too. right? - they're great for kids. as for seniors they are in dispensable. - we also said that walkfit inplatum are great for athletes too. - they are great for athletes. when you run a jump, you're hitting the ground with three to four times, your body weight. that's 300 to 400% more pressure on your joints. you'd be foolish not to have walkfit in all your athletic shoes. - i know, i use orthotics in my golf shoes. it really makes walking the golf course a lot easier. - and stuart that can also give you a much more balanced swing by getting your pressure back over your heels, off the ball of your foot while you're out of balance. - and they last the lifetime guaranteed. and our last show, we actually ran a 52,000 pound steamroller over the walk,

but to show how durable it is. it came out a little dusty, but as good as new with its support and cushion ability intact. - but since then we found a little more practical example of just how good the walkfits are and how long they last - last year we got a call from a guy in new jersey. who idsa he wanted to walk across the country, but his feet hurt when he walked. he said he had just bought a pair of walkfit and now they felt great. and he called us when he arrived in california. - we got that call last summer and met up with him on the coast in malibu. - you have to enjoy walking basically. it's pretty basic, but you have to have some kind of driving. you have to love walking. before i started this journey, i tried a lot of other brands. the, the gel foam, even some of the harder orthotics and nothing worked. saw the walkfit on the infomercials would have been my shoes. and i could tell they were working immediately. these are my fifth pair of shoes. since i started in the jersey shore, you get maybe four or 500 miles out of a cheap $15 pair of sneakers.

the walkfit have lasted over 3000 miles now, and they're still going flying. i ended my walk and oceanside, which is south of where we are this moment. it felt wonderful, really kind of relief in a sense, 'cause i was tired at the time. i could not have walked across this country without walkfit and i will wear them the rest of my life. (audience clapping) - i'm not surprised at all the incredible stories we've heard. i've seen dramatic results with my own patients. - and by the way, these fit into most shoes, loafers, tie shoes, work boots, even sandals. - now you're probably wondering if there's anything else like the walkfit. - actually there is something that's sort of close. this is the orthotic that you hear advertised on the radio. - now you're looking awful a lot alike. - well actually they're not. where is the custom insert? the gel heel - plus one more very important difference. these cost over $245. that's about 10 times the price of the walkfit. - so don't wait. start improving your life today. pick up the phone and join the people who have experienced the benefits

of walkfit orthotics. - now we'll be back in just a minute. so don't go away.

- [announcer] the following is a paid commercial program for better bladder, sponsored by trusted therabotanics. are you always checking out the location of the nearest bathroom? do you have trouble sitting through a movie

without a bathroom break? are you afraid you'll have an accident when you sneeze or laugh in public? are you constantly getting up throughout the night because you have to go? if you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be suffering from a weak and unpredictable bladder, the cause of some of life's most embarrassing and uncomfortable moments. - i couldn't laugh. i can't sneeze without losing a little bit of urine. - most days, my bladder is definitely running my life. it's a conscious thought everyday now. - it'll drive me crazy. there is no way i could deal with a diaper. - [announcer] 33 million americans suffer from the effects of a weak and unpredictable bladder. if you or someone you know is affected by the problems caused by a weak bladder, if you think the only hope is taking drugs with horrible side effects, surgery, or a trip down the dreaded adult diaper aisle, then stay tuned, because there's an exciting new option for this serious and widespread problem. introducing better bladder, the doctor-formulated,

natural supplement that's helping me and women around the globe regain control, confidence, and peace of mind. - with better bladder, my life has changed tremendously. i'm able to be active with the kids. i'm going to my exercise classes and not feel like i have to run to the restroom. - i just love it, i can be myself, i can relax. i can laugh and not worry about if i have a spare pair of pants. - and one point in time, my bladder was running my life. but now, i'm completely in control of my own life. - [announcer] better bladder's natural formula has been clinically shown to improve all the major symptoms of a weak or unpredictable bladder. in a clinical study, 90% of participants reported reduced visits to the bathroom and fewer leaks or accidents. best of all, many saw results in as little as two weeks. today you'll meet dr. michael hyman, a board-certified physician trained at cornell medical school. he is chief of urology at providence st. joseph

medical center and a leading expert on the subject of bladder control. now, join dr. hyman and your host, suzanne setta. - hello and welcome to another edition of restore health naturally. today we're gonna be talking about the challenges of living with a weak and unpredictable bladder. and to help us discuss this very important topic is dr. michael hyman who specializes in these issues. dr. hyman, thank you for being with us today. - thank you for having me, suzanne. - i was actually surprised to find out how common a weak bladder really is. i understand 33 million americans suffer from this. - yeah, and honestly it could be more because so many of these people are embarrassed. they don't want to talk about it. probably every five people you know, one of them has this problem, and if you think about elderly folks, half of them probably have this problem. - that's a lot. well tell us, what are the early signs that you might actually have a weak bladder? - the first sign is probably gonna be urgency. that's that sudden, intense need to go to the bathroom like right now, worried something terrible's gonna happen.

frequency of urination is another sign of a weak or poorly-controlled bladder. that's when you have to go to the bathroom often. like a woman who i can think of who was a waitress, and she would go sometimes every 15, 20 minutes. she couldn't keep her job. - well that's no good. that's awful, as a matter of fact. and they're talking about going during the day. what about at night? because i gotta tell you, once a while, i get up. - [michael] if you're getting up three, four times a night, and you multiply that by 365 days a year that's 1,000 trips to the bathroom. - that's a lot. and people don't like to talk about it because it's embarrassing. - right, right. it's so embarrassing especially when you think about people who have accidents. whether they're coughing or sneezing, or the urgency to get to the bathroom so badly, that you start having an accident. i had a patient once, calling me in tears. a poor woman with her children at disneyland. she couldn't stay in line with her kids because the urge was so intense. so was gonna have an accident, so she spent the day in the infirmary. it could be because the urge is too strong

or because they're coughing or sneezing, but those accidents, that's catastrophic. - so tell us, what are some options for treatment? - until recently, you would start with drugs and then it was going to surgery options. the drugs come with some really uncomfortable side effects, including constipation, dry mouth, dry skin, dry eyes, and upset stomach. some are even linked to causing dementia. because of these serious, severe side effects, and because you basically have to take these drugs indefinitely, the vast majority of people taking them will stop after just a month or two. think about that. people would rather deal with leaks and diapers than deal with side effects of medications. - well then, if not drugs, you would try surgery? - surgery is the final option for us. and it could start with some kind of a procedure in the office, but it's not an easy thing to go through. we have to put a camera into the bladder, make injections into the bladder muscle,

and if that didn't work, we would switch to something called a pacemaker. - oh my gosh. - really, suzanne, the lack of a safe and effective product, one that people will stick with, it's what drove me to search for an alternative that i could actually recommend to my patients. i looked at several natural supplements, but none really made that much of a difference. then i came across a very impressive study in the medical literature on a natural supplement called better bladder. it was helping people in ways i'd never seen before in my 20 years a board-certified urologist. it was really a game-changer. - after better bladder, i don't have that pressure on my bladder anymore. i don't have the sensation that i have to go now. - now that i'm taking better bladder, i'm getting better sleep without rising four, five times in the middle of the night. and during the day at work. one time, 11 o'clock, that's it.

- it works. it was like having a to-do list of everything that was wrong and better bladder made me feel like i just crossed everything off that list, and i don't have to worry anymore. - well dr. hyman, i know that you were very impressed with the science behind better bladder, so tell us specifically what you found. - suzanne, the first thing i do before i recommend any product is to see if there are any clinical studies supporting its effectiveness. if not, well, it's a nonstarter for me. not only did better bladder have a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the results were far more impressive than i would have ever expected. 86% saw a reduction of urgency. 84% of them had fewer trips to the bathroom at night. 90% went fewer times during the day and almost 94% saw a reduction in those awful leaks and accidents, and best of all, results were seen in as little as two weeks. - it is really exciting to find that kind of substantiation behind the results for a natural product.

is that what won you over? - not entirely. i wanted to see how better bladder was gonna work in my own patients. so i gave it to them. and what i saw was very impressive. it validated everything i read in that study. that's why better bladder is now my first option for helping people with these problems, and that's why i'm here today. - it wasn't enough for you to help your patients. you wanted to get the word out to help everyone. - therabotanics, the company behind better bladder, developed an amazing breakthrough for everyone suffering from these bladder issues. - there are a lot of conditions that people experience that aren't diseases. they're not illnesses that can be cured by science. but which nature has provided simple solutions, simple things that can help us live a healthier,

more fulfilling life. and those are the type of products that we offer at therabotanics. - i used to have to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes, with a degree of urgency i no longer feel. i now can go three, four, and i have gone five hours without stopping to use the restroom. - better bladder allowed me to gain control of my bladder. as a result, i get my life back. - i never have leakage, i never not make it to the bathroom. i always have dry panties, something that i haven't experienced in a long time. - dr. hyman, we've established that this is a really common problem, and one that really negatively affects a person's life. so tell us how this happens, what causes this? - sure, well, suzanne, let's start with the basics. this is a model of the bladder. it's like a hollow ball with thin walls of muscle. now the bladder is a very functional muscle, and it's activated by our nervous system.

as your bladder fills, it's also stretching, and it's the stretching that tells your brain it's time to go to the bathroom. only then, at that specific moment, when your bladder begins to contract does urine come out, and that is normal bladder activity. a calm, quiet, tranquil bladder that remains at rest the vast majority of the time. now sometimes, when it because agitated, it contracts when it is not supposed to. that is what i like to call an irritable bladder. and when your bladder becomes irritable or agitated, you might start thinking about going to the bathroom even when your bladder's only partly full. or it could be even more urgent. i don't care if i miss the movie, i gotta go. and it can become so strong that you actually, omg, i'm leaking. - well how does better bladder help this? - better bladder has three key herbal ingredients to help calm and relax the bladder muscle

which reduces this agitated or irritable state, and the result is less leakage, less urgency, and fewer trips to the bathroom. to be able to get these results as a natural alternative to prescription drugs and their terrible side effects, it's a tremendous breakthrough. - therabotanics has been kind enough to put together a special offer just for our viewers. details are coming ahead. - i've tried the kegel exercises. i've gone to a doctor. they have pharmaceutical drugs which i'm not really into. i tried wearing the little things, the diaper thing, which i hate. i'm a jogger and i can't do it. i'm frustrated, i'm really frustrated. i want back my freedom. i want back the ability to do all the things i really wanna do. i was going to the bathroom all the time. at night, during the day, and it interrupted my life. but now that i've been taking better bladder, i'd have to say i hardly even think about it. i don't feel the urgency to have to go,

and it doesn't interrupt my life or take over my life anymore. now i'm back to jogging, running, and feel confident, and doing all the things i love to do now. - [announcer] does your life revolve around frequent trips to the bathroom? are embarrassing leaks interfering with your life? are you afraid that a sudden cough or sneeze will cause an accident? is your bladder out of control? if you answered yes to any of these questions, then you're likely one of the 33,000,000 men and women suffering from the symptoms of a weak or unpredictable bladder. until now, you had three choices. take prescription drugs with unpleasant side effects, endure expensive and painful surgeries and procedures, or wear bulky and inconvenient adult diapers. now there's a new alternative, better bladder, the doctor-developed natural formula to help both men and women control the major symptoms of a weak and unpredictable bladder. in a placebo-controlled clinical study,

(upbeat music) - we're back with dr. michael hyman, a board-certified physician, chief urologist,

and a leading expert on the subject of bladder control. so doctor, tell us, why is loss of bladder control so common? - as a result of the normal aging process, our bladders and the nerves for our bladders are subjected to all kinds of changes throughout life. let's pretend that this is a man's bladder. in some men, the bladder muscle has to strain to push urine out through an enlarged prostate, so the bladder muscle changes over time. and eventually, it's gonna look something like this. and that bladder will start acting inappropriately. and it will start having contractions even when it's not supposed to. - and so that's what can happen to a man's bladder. what about a woman's? - the women are a little more complicated. women go through profound physiologic changes throughout their life from the beginning of menstruation to pregnancy to menopause. let's just take this model and pretend it's a pregnant woman. this is her pelvic floor, okay?

and the baby's growing, and it's pushing down on the bladder and the pelvic floor. well the nerves are going through the pelvic floor, so those nerves are gonna also get stretched and go through changes. so now you have nerves that are stretched and displaced, and the result can be, oh, in the simplest terms, mixed signals. and these mixed signals can result in bladder agitation that starts to release urine. and this can happen at rest, or when you're coughing or sneezing, laughing or lifting. - i'm a mom, i have seven children. and they're 12, 11, nine, seven, six, four, and two. i think have that. (laughs) i do remember sitting on the floor with my kids and kind of sit like indian style to help them to sit good, and then realizing, oh, mommy's leaking. i am very physical, when i do yoga and stuff, there's certain positions that you go in, that's where sometimes i notice, oh, i'm in control except for one area.

so now i'm down to zero leaks, which means everything. and i take better bladder, it's like one less issue. i can just leave the house, bring an extra pair of pants for the three-year-old and not for the 44-year-old. now i can take the kids for a walk, read them a story at night, and sit in my yoga class in any position and then at night, be with my husband, laugh at his jokes, and not worry about, oh am i gonna leak? no, i made the whole day because of better bladder. - while pregnant, i always had to go because my son was sitting on my bladder. but after i had my son, it didn't really go away. now that i have been taking better bladder, i feel like that i don't have to go as urgent and quickly. i am so grateful that i did find better bladder to help with my urgency issues. i'm so thrilled. - i understand that 25% of reproductive-age women actually suffer from some kind of loss of bladder control.

now that's a lot of young women. what about men? - well men, it's an equal opportunity problem. it affects men and women pretty much equally. all those guys out there who think that it's their prostate causing these problems, think again. about half of those guys who have those symptoms, it's really because of their bladders. - my bladder is running my life. i'm constantly thinking about it, everyday, all day. and night time is the worst. because you usually sleep through through the night. but now i'm going to the bathroom. i may go one time, but now i'm going maybe four. i coach little league baseball right now. and we have breaks before practice. so you know, i can't say, coach is going to the bathroom after i told them we only taking one, two potty breaks. that part, there again, it plays into ego again, as a man. and how do i handle this? what am i gonna do about it? taking better bladder, i had an aha moment. that's what i call it. i woke up and i'm thinking, oh, i didn't wake up all night.

even my wife notices. she says, oh, i'm getting a little bit more sleep now that you're getting more sleep. it's amazing. my lifestyle has changed quite a bit. i'm able to stay in practice a lot longer when i'm working with the children, and just being a lot more confident in me having the situation under control. going out to eat or sitting through meals or when we're with friends, not having to excuse myself. you know, to go to the bathroom, so it's been a life-changing situation for me. - so doctor, what is it that makes better bladder so effective? - better bladder offers a combination of three herbs that have been traditionally used for centuries. the first of which is crateva nurvala, a bark that helps reduce inflammation and has natural calming properties that may help with those age related changes to the bladder muscle. then we have an extract from the horsetail plant. horsetail is a grass that is generally known to help regulate the bladder muscle and help

with the ability to control urination. finally, this is lindera, a root that's a very potent antioxidant. it has a long history of use in both japan and china, and was included in better bladder to support the nerves as well as the bladder muscle. together, these three herbs help to calm an irritable bladder, and produce the results we've been talking about today. - oh wow, that is really incredible that these three herbs can make such a difference in people and help them avoid surgery potentially or medications, and actually save them from embarrassment. - god bless mother nature for coming up with something like this that's really gonna change people's lives. - [announcer] what would it be worth to you to regain the confidence and peace of mind that comes from a bladder under your control? surgeries, prescriptions, or even adult diapers could cost you from hundreds to thousands of dollars. but better bladder won't cost you even $100, not even close. a full two month's supply of better bladder

every time with no surprises. - [announcer] now, sleep peacefully through the night, sit through an entire movie, enjoy an exercise class or a drive without worrying about the next rest stop. (upbeat music) - i was beginning to have these nasty smells that were so offensive, and i thought, everybody can smell. i mean, i'm around people all the time at work. i'm at that level when i'm walking up and down the aisle, and people are just right there. you know, close quarters and it's just really nice to not smell bad. - i am having a better experience in my relationship because when i go out to a nice event, a dinner, a party,

i'm not always the one absent from the room 'cause i've gotta go to the restroom. - before better bladder i was doing kegels and limiting my water intake. it's just so bad for your health. and now i probably 10 to 12 glasses of water a day. forget the kegels, i won't do them anymore. (upbeat music) - we're back and we're talking with dr. michael hyman. i wanna talk about the clinical testing. i've seen the most recent results, and i gotta say, they are super impressive. and one of the things that it does point out is the participants experience a reduction in stress-induced leakage. but explain to us what that is exactly. - it's when somebody is having that cough or that sneeze or that laugh and it's basically gonna set off that irritable bladder situation, and they're gonna push their legs together and try to control that urine from coming out. it can happen in men, too, having those accidents. and better bladder can help. - since i've been taking better bladder, it's incredible.

i sneezed three times on the way here, nothing. - if there's too much laughter, there's probably going to be a little bit of an accident. thankfully, better bladder has fixed that. i don't have that issue anymore. i'm not worried if i get up, whether it's at home or out in public, that there might be a little bit of a wet spot on my chair. - dr. hyman, i wanna thank you for being here with us today and sharing such important information. - well, it was my pleasure. - now before we say goodbye, do you have any last words you wanna share with our viewers? - bladder issues, frequency, urgency, leakage, these are by far the most common reasons people come to see me. it's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. and having struggled with finding an option that really is effective with no harmful side effects, well, i can honestly say this is truly a huge change in my practice. better bladder will change people's lives. - dr. hyman, thank you again for being with us. and thank you for joining us.
