One in three women will experience sexual pain, and after 65, nearly half would deal with

urinary incontinence. Yet pelvic floor health is still one of the most overlooked aspects of

women's health care. It's time we start paying attention, and today's guest is leading the

charge. Dr. Sarah Reardon is a doctor of physical therapy and board-certified pelvic floor specialist

who's made it her mission to normalize pelvic floor conversations and revolutionize the care we receive at every age and stage.

Known to her followers as the vagina whisperer,

Sarah has helped thousands of women overcome everything from bladder leaks to painful

intercores, and she's on a mission to change the way we approach everything from birth to menopause

and beyond. In today's show, we dive deep into pelvic forehealth, what it is, why it matters,

and how to actually strengthen and support it. We'll break down the truth about Kegles,

the surprising ways breathwork and strength training can improve your symptoms, and why your bathroom habits might be working against you. This conversation

sheds light to topics that are often overlooked or ignored. Let's dive in.

And so the fact that we don't even know this part of our body exists, which is something I hear

from many women almost every day, just really shed some light on how uninformed we are about

our bodies and how important it is to be educated about the pelvic floor so that we can

not only overcome pelvic health issues,

but also prevent them.

On that note, how does one assess their pelvic floor health?

You know, I think it can be based off of two different ways of assessment.

I think one is symptoms.

So most often women can experience things like little bladder leaks.
