UTIs may be painful, frustrating, and disruptive — but they don’t have to be a life sentence. My patients see the most success when they stay proactive. Practice prevention daily. Tune into your body’s signals. And don’t wait to seek help when something feels “off.” We’re our own greatest advocates, and listening closely to our bodies is the surest way to stay healthy and happy.

In order to prevent and treat recurrent UTIs, it is critical to flush the urinary tract with tons of water and shift to an alkaline diet. Uqora effectively helps strengthen the bladder's immune system and flush out bad bacteria. When a person is struggling with recurring UTIs the key is to keep immune defenses up so the bacteria have a harder time reproducing/multiplying and wreaking havoc. This includes drinking lots of water, eating nutrient-packed foods and staying physically active. It is critical to avoid super acidic items such as alcohol, sugar, processed food, red meat, all dairy products, poultry, eggs, fish, bread, and GMO products (i.e., wheat, soy, corn). Cut down on dry foods and snacks like nuts, candy, and trail mix. Focus on having fresh plant-based alkaline food rich in nutrients which help strengthen the immune system. This includes all green vegetables, beans, ancient whole grains (not flour; quinoa, amaranth, millet, sorghum), and mushrooms. Get lots of rest and de-stress.

Uqora helps me with my goal to reduce my patients' recurrent UTIs while limiting antibiotic use as much as possible. Antibiotics have side effects, cause antibiotic resistance and can cause an increase in symptomatic UTIs when overused. I try to empower my patients with information and resources and they really like the information that Uqora shares about it's product ingredients and how they work. Uqora is especially helpful because it has different components to the regimen that can be tailored to each patient's needs.
