| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wachib, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host. |
| 0:08.6 | Dr. Betsy Greenleaf is a pelvic health expert and the first board-certified female Eurogenicologist |
| 0:16.8 | in the United States, and certainly the first and only Eurogenicologist we have ever had on this show. |
| 0:23.1 | So you are in for a fascinating conversation today. |
| 0:27.3 | Betsy, welcome. Thank you so much, Jason. I'm so excited to be here with you and to be talking |
| 0:34.6 | with you. So you have such an interesting background. You are a pelvic floor expert and a Eurogenic |

| 1:51.6 | Got it. Well, congratulations on being the first woman. That's kind of awesome. |
| 1:55.5 | Yeah, thank you. So you mentioned pelvic floor. You're also a pelvic floor expert. |
| 2:01.4 | Why should we focus on our pelvic floor health? You know, no matter how old we are and also no |
