Many women are told that leaking when they laugh, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, or a feeling of heaviness after having children is simply “part of being a woman.” The truth is—it isn’t.

In this episode of The Holistic Health & Hormones Podcast, we dive deep into pelvic floor dysfunction with an expert who explains what the pelvic floor really does, why it matters far beyond bladder control, and how dysfunction can affect every stage of a woman’s life—from fertility and pregnancy through to postpartum recovery and menopause.

We discuss:

• What the pelvic floor actually is and why it’s essential for overall health

• Common symptoms women often ignore

• Pregnancy, birth and menopause changes

• The surprising connection between stress, breathing and pelvic floor tension

• Why Kegels aren’t the answer for everyone

• Pelvic floor dysfunction and fertility

• Pain during intercourse, prolapse and bladder symptoms

• Assessment, treatment and recovery

• The role of nutrition, movement, breathwork and acupuncture

• Simple daily habits to support lifelong pelvic health

If you’ve ever experienced leaking, pelvic pain, pressure, constipation, painful intimacy or lower back pain or simply want to better understand your body this conversation is packed with practical insights that every woman should hear.
