Summary

EP. 210 - In this episode, I’m joined by Kim Voss—better known as the Vagina Coach—and author of Your Pelvic Floor. As a personal trainer and restorative exercise specialist, Kim brings a wealth of knowledge about pelvic health, particularly for those navigating fitness, childbirth recovery, and aging. We cover pelvic floor dysfunction, with a focus on urinary incontinence during strength training—something many experience but few talk about.

Topics Discussed: How can you prevent urinary incontinence during strength training? What are the best exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor after childbirth?

0:00.0	Is it because you have prolapse? Is it because your muscles are non-relaxing? Is it because of the
0:04.2	posture you have on the toilet that's not allowing things to empty completely? So you want to have an
0:09.6	understanding of why so that you can then choose the right path to fix it. You are tuned into the
0:16.5	Dr. Tina show with Dr. Tina Moore. For more, visit Dr. Tina.com. On this episode of the Dr. Tina show,
0:23.7	I'm sitting down with my friend Kim Vopney. You may know her as the vagina coach. She is the author of
0:29.4	your pelvic floor. She is a personal trainer. She's a restorative exercise specialist.
0:35.1	She is the pelvic floor guru. And I absolutely love her content.
0:39.2	I love her approach to things. And I thought it was critically important that I bring her on the show
0:43.9	because many of you have reached out to me and said, Dr. Tina, I'm trying to start strength training,
0:49.2	but I keep peeing my pants every time I do. And I take this seriously, although I was joking with Kim,
0:55.4	you know, I've got 99 problems, but pelvic floor dysfunction is not one of them. I feel for you,

1:17.2	take and more. So without further ado, let's jump in. We in this community spend so much time and
1:23.3	effort ensuring that we're feeding ourselves well. Why aren't we doing the same for our pets? I've got three dogs, all different breeds. I love them to the moon and back, and they're all
1:31.8	thriving on Sunday's dog food. This food is the real deal. My dog with chronic ACL issues,
1:37.0	no more limping. My Havonies puppy, it's essentially the only thing he's ever eaten in his life,
1:41.2	and he is so tan and jacked. And my beautiful German Shepherd
