In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom welcome Gina Conley, founder of MamasteFit, to discuss prenatal exercise and postpartum fitness. Gina shares her personal journey, debunks common myths about exercising during pregnancy, and highlights the importance of tailored movement for pelvic health and pain relief. The conversation emphasizes listening to one’s body, gradual postpartum recovery, and the need for compassionate self-care. Together, they encourage expectant and new mothers to embrace prenatal exercise, challenge outdated advice, and celebrate the strength and resilience of the postpartum body. When it comes to women's health and fitness, specifically prenatal exercise expertise and postpartum movement rehab, there aren't many better than Gina.
