Hey, welcome back. I'm so glad that you show up here every week. It truly means the world to me and I hope so much that I bring topics to you that you find educational that you can learn from and that we learn and

laugh and cry and do all the things together along the way.

And today's topic is going to be no different.

I have found that in women's health,

there seems to be a lot of gray-unspoken area.

I feel like we're pretty good about making some things clear but as a female as I have gone

through pregnancy and postpartum and dealt with my own core issues and then

hormone issues and so many other layers I feel like there's so much great, there's so much confusion.

And so today, the topic that I want to cover is something called Rib Flair, which is actually really common for women after they have babies but it's not really talked about or explain really well.

So that is what I am going to break down today for you. So I'm sure you've noticed after you have had babies

and whether that was four weeks ago or 40 years ago that sometimes our bras become tighter,

like around our ribcage and it's one of those things that were like why why does this happen and then we start to have

Correa issues for multiple different reasons and the bras tighter and we've never really thought that possibly they can be linked.

Now our core issues happen for many different reasons which I've covered many different episodes

on different reasons why but one of them is rib flare and the connection to a weakened

core and our ability to fully inhale and exhale.

Because with rib flare, our breathing patterns get stuck in an inhalation pattern.

So today we're going to break down what that is, how we can recognize it, what it means,

what we can do to improve it, because we can improve it it's crazy right you can

truly help the ribs to come in and down better but we're going to break that down

in detail what to be aware of and even what to avoid because oftentimes people

over and compensate when they're trying to improve their rib flare.
