2025 is the 6th Season of The Boomer Woman’s Podcast. Each episode is a conversation between me – I’m Agnes Knowles, your host – and a guest who talks to a subject that, someway, somehow, is relatable to Boomer Women. The guests can be any age, any gender, as long as their message is positive, informative, pertinent to our demographic. You, dear listener, might need to be open-minded, curious, tolerant, inclusive… and if you are, you will enjoy these conversations, maybe learn something, and I encourage you to share each and any episode!

Laura Helgeson is the founder of Let’s Talk UTI, the only US-based patient advocacy organization dedicated to shining a light on the issues around urinary tract infections. The organization provides essential insights, advocates for research initiatives, and promotes education to create meaningful change in UTI care.
In this episode, Laura discusses:
- what a UTI is and what causes it
- If there is any correlation between the early childhood infections and lifelong chronic infections
- Testing choices – then and now
- The location of the urethra can make it a taboo subject
- A decline in circulating estrogen causes changes that can increase the risk of UTIs.
- UTIs in elders
Laura has several resources on her website that would be invaluable for anyone suffering from a UTI: how to prepare for a visit to the doctor and advanced testing methods that you could discuss with your doctor.
