More women experience urinary incontinence than osteoporosis and high blood pressure. But how much do we hear about menopause and high blood pressure and osteoporosis? But it's like more women have urinary leakage than any of those issues. But we're not getting talked about that. Like we get dexas scans for our bone health. Right. And we're like, oh, because we're at risk for a fracture. But if you're running to

Hello, friends. Welcome back to Better with Dr. Stephanie. It's me, your host, Dr. Stephanie

Esteema. And today I have a very special conversation for you. This is a topic that is shrouded

in shame. It is often not discussed, pushed under the rug. We ignore it. And I am here to tell you

that this is a conversation you need to

hear for your own well-being, maybe for your sister or your daughter or your mother. We are talking

about pelvic floor health. Yes, the V word is going to be used a lot in this conversation. So if

there are littles around, maybe not in the

car with them. You can listen to it another time, if that is your preference. My guest today, Dr.

Sarah Reardon, she is a board certified pelvic floor physical therapist with over 18 years

of experience, helping individuals prevent and overcome pelvic floor issues, including

urinary leakage, painful sex, bladder prolapse,

or uterine prolapse, discomfort during pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. Dr. Sarah Reardon,

known as the vagina whisper, great handle on Instagram, has been featured in time, Yahoo,

Harper's Bazaar, all the places in style today,

numerous other podcast publications and professional conferences, and she has a TED Talk

on pelvic floor health. This is a conversation, as I mentioned, for you if you've had children,

even if you haven't had children, pelvic floor health, really important,

especially if you're a muscle mommy and looking to maintain and build on your muscles,

why not include your pelvic floor in that program for your mom, for your sister, for your daughter?
