You're listening to the ancient health podcast. My name is Courtney Versage and today's guest

is Caitlin D. She is a pelvic floor specialist and if you don't know what pelvic floor dysfunction

is or pelvic health, then this episode is going to open your eyes and no doubt add value

to your own journey to better your health and wellness. What you're going to learn in

this episode is all about body literacy practices and unpacking how different traumas can manifest

in tissues that surround organ systems that ultimately produce symptoms that most people

are experiencing, but not linking to structural health. So we start to unpack what your fertility

and hormones have to do with pelvic floor health, how having fibroids or experiencing

things like incontinence or GI distress or even scar tissue can impact the fascia and

nervous system surrounding your pelvic floor. One of the things I love the most about

this episode is at the very end. So make sure that you listen through. When Caitlin walks

us through the number one practice that she recommends all women be doing and I got to

be honest, this was one I was completely unfamiliar with. Yet it's an ancient,

Ayurvedic practice that women have been doing for thousands of years. And it addresses

so many different imbalances that so many women now in our modern day are still experiencing.

So take a listen to this conversation. I think it's going to add incredible value and

open your eyes to a component of your health that may have been the missing link to you

finding true hormone and fertility balance. Without further ado, let's dive in.

Thank you so much for having me. I'm happy to be here and always love the opportunity to

talk about this work. And that was not always the case. If you would have asked me five,

even five years ago, I would have said you're crazy. There's no way that that is my future.

And my journey into this work has come through the work I've done in healing my own body
