0:00.0 | Welcome to Among the Lillies. This is a show for ladies who are tired of pretending and |
0:05.1 | are ready to be real. I'm your host, Cameron Frad, and in today's episode, I'm actually |
0:09.8 | interviewing my real life doctor. Dr. Strasberg has been so lovely and agreeing to come |
0:15.8 | on. So welcome to the show, Dr. Strasberg. Thank you. Thanks for having me, Cameron. Nice |
0:21.3 | to be here. What? Yeah, I really, really appreciate it. I find you |
0:24.9 | such a wealth of knowledge, and I'm just really excited to share you with my, all my |
0:30.7 | ladies that listen and just so many women all over the world actually that don't necessarily |
0:36.6 | have access to really good doctors, especially that kind of focus more on chronic pelvic |
0:42.2 | pain. So why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself, tell us all about you. Yeah, sure. |
0:46.9 | So my name is Jessica Strasberg, and I've been a Cleveland native for my whole life, |
0:52.1 | and I work at the Cleveland Clinic. And I actually trained in family medicine, did my |
0:57.1 | residency at University Hospitals in Cleveland, did a one-year Women's Health Fellowship, |
1:02.7 | and so glad I did. When I joined the Cleveland Clinic in 2002, I was able to have a joint |
1:08.7 | practice in gynecology and family medicine. So I had patients of all ages. I had babies |
1:16.5 | to elderly patients and really enjoyed my practice. And then in 2016, there's an opportunity |
1:25.2 | for me to see patients in chronic pelvic pain, treating them medically. And this was a |
1:31.0 | feel that I was really not very knowledgeable as I will admit now looking back, developed |
1:39.1 | my training through NOBGYN, who specialized in chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis. |
1:45.6 | And so I've been doing that since then, and I had to give up, unfortunately, my family |
1:49.4 | medicine practice. And so, but it's been a good change and have learned so much and love |
1:58.4 | the fact that I have a background in general medicine, which has helped in chronic pelvic |
2:03.8 | pain immensely in terms of medical therapies and what I look for and have really enjoyed |
