Eps 384: The Real Cause of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction w/ Christina Walsh
What if some of the health habits you’ve been praised for are actually making things harder on your body?
I brought in physical therapist Christina Walsh to help make sense of pelvic floor health and why some popular health trends can quietly make things worse in midlife.
This episode is about learning how to work with your body again, instead of unknowingly adding more stress to a system that’s already compensating.
