In this episode, Natalie Garay discusses the importance of pelvic floor health, particularly for women who have experienced childbirth.
She highlights the common issue of incontinence and the misconceptions surrounding it, emphasizing that it is fixable through consistent exercise rather than surgery.
The conversation covers the anatomy of the pelvic floor, the effects of pregnancy and delivery on pelvic health, and practical exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor.
Natalie encourages open discussions about these topics to reduce stigma and promote awareness among women.
Pelvic floor health is crucial for women, especially postpartum. Incontinence is a common issue that can be addressed. Many women are unaware of pelvic floor problems due to stigma. Kegels are helpful but not the only solution. Strengthening the pelvic floor requires a holistic approach. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can weaken pelvic muscles. Consistent exercise can help avoid surgery for pelvic issues. Open conversations about pelvic health are necessary. Exercises can be found in Natalie's book and online community. There is hope for recovery from incontinence. "Kegels are not the end-all be-all." "You need to put your ass into it."
