@radyrahbanmd: “Do I need surgery for a hernia or diastasis… or is it something I can ignore?” Most people are getting this wrong. In this episode, I sit down with world-renowned hernia specialist, Dr. Shirin Towfigh—someone I’ve worked with for over 20 years—to break down what’s actually going on with your abdominal wall. We cover: What a hernia really is (and what it’s not) Why diastasis is often misunderstood And the right way to treat both—without shortcuts that compromise your outcome This isn’t surface-level advice. This is the difference between doing it once… and doing it right. Listen—and send this to someone who’s been told “it’s no big deal.” We break down what these conditions actually are, how they show up, and—most importantly—how they should be treated properly. This is the kind of conversation that can completely change a patient’s outcome. Listen and share this with someone who needs it.
