#162 The Truth About Pelvic Floor Dysfunction That No One Talks About | Andrea Dimler


Listen Later

Most women have been told that leaking when you sneeze, lower back pain, hip pain, painful intimacy, and core weakness are simply part of motherhood.

What if they're not?

In this eye-opening conversation, Autumn sits down with prenatal and postpartum corrective exercise specialist Andrea Dimler to uncover one of the most overlooked areas of women's health: the pelvic floor.

As a former labor and delivery nurse, neurology nurse, CrossFit coach, childbirth educator, and women's corrective exercise specialist, Andrea has helped countless women understand what most of us were never taught about the connection between breathing, posture, core strength, birth recovery, and pelvic floor health.

What makes this conversation so surprising is that many symptoms women struggle with every day don't always point where we think they do.

Back pain.

Hip pain.

Leaking when you laugh.

Urgency to find a bathroom.

Pain with intimacy.

Core weakness that won't improve no matter how much you exercise.

Many of these issues may have far more to do with the pelvic floor than most women realize.

Inside this episode, you'll discover:

• What the pelvic floor actually is and why it matters

• The surprising connection between your breathing and pelvic floor health

• Why leaking after childbirth is common, but not normal

• The difference between a weak pelvic floor and an overly tight pelvic floor

• Why back pain, hip pain, and posture issues may be connected

• The truth about kegels and why they aren't always the answer

• How pregnancy and childbirth impact the pelvic floor

• Practical steps women can take today to begin supporting healing naturally

• What every woman should know before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and after birth Whether you've had children or not, this conversation may completely change how you think about your body, your symptoms, and your health.

Because sometimes the issue isn't where the pain shows up.

It's where the story starts.
