Kartal joins us to share his process through a grueling 3-4 years of recovery from a rapidly growing pituitary tumor.
He explains:
-the start
-the progression
-the multiple doctors visits where the tumor was missed or not visualized
-brain surgery
-all of the medications
-chemotherapy
-having to relearn to walk 2 different times,
and so much more.
I also want to say I did my best to keep it light hearted so that we could get through the podcast. This was very emotional and is talking about how health issues like this make you see life and family completely differently.
Thank you Kartal for sharing your story with us.
If you have progressing neurological symptoms, get to a doctor ASAP and get it taken care of.

Swimmer increases breath-hold from 17 seconds to 150 seconds!
On this episode, I have one of my athletes join who has been working through the Oxygen Advantage breathing for athletes process.
When he first started, Alex was only able to hold his breath for 17 seconds. Now, he is over 150 seconds.
Imagine what that does for a swimmer in the water. They don't require breaths as much, so they can continue to focus on form and fluidity.
Now, apply that to any cardiovascular sport. More oxygen to your muscles. Less unnecessary breaths. Increased performance.
Reach out via email if this is something you are looking to do for yourself or another athlete!

1st Episode of Dr. B's Walkin Talkin Thoughts: Surgery prevention
These episodes will pop-up occasionally as Dr. Brennan and I get onto a subject (as we walk in between patients) and feel it is necessary to share with the public!
Here's a hot topic (even though it should not be and we should always be looking for the least-invasive route) surgery prevention.
This is something we have been very successful with at the clinic.
Not everyone can prevent a surgery, but a lot of our patients have been able to.
Ex: Knee replacement is scheduled, bad MRI (including meniscus tearing, osteophyte formation, ligament damage and "degeneration") and a runner. After 3 months (not consistent treatment, we require people to work on themselves at home) she was able to run a 50k trail race with 0 pain....
That was 3 years ago. Still no pain running multiple times a week.
