Your pelvic floor is more than just “muscles down there.” It’s the foundation for core stability, bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and even posture.
But during perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes—especially declining estrogen—can weaken these muscles and connective tissues, leading to symptoms many women either ignore or think are “just part of aging.”
The truth? Pelvic floor dysfunction is common, but it’s not inevitable—and it’s absolutely treatable.
In this episode, we dive deep into pelvic floor health for women in midlife, breaking down the science in an approachable, down-to-earth way so you can understand what’s happening in your body and how to fix it. You’ll learn:
The real causes of pelvic floor issues during perimenopause and menopause—from hormonal shifts to muscle imbalances, chronic stress, pregnancy history, and lifestyle habits.
Common symptoms you might not recognize as pelvic floor–related, including urinary leakage, urgency, prolapse, painful intercourse, lower-back pain, hip discomfort, and even core instability.
Proven solutions—from targeted strength training and breath work to posture correction, physical therapy, and everyday habit adjustments—to restore function, improve confidence, and protect long-term health.
We’ll also talk about the connection between strength training, hormone health, and pelvic floor function, so you can see how your workouts can support recovery and prevention.
You’ll walk away with practical tips to integrate into your daily life—whether you’re lifting weights, going for a walk, or just sitting at your desk.
If you’re a woman in perimenopause or menopause who wants to stay strong, energized, and free from pelvic discomfort, this episode is your essential guide.
Whether you’ve experienced symptoms for years or are starting to notice changes now, you’ll learn how to take charge of your pelvic health instead of letting it limit your lifestyle.
Your pelvic floor doesn’t have to weaken with age—you can retrain and strengthen it at any stage.
