This is our LAST EPISODE OF SEASON ONE!!! As mentioned in the "Announcements," we'll be taking a short pause (3-4 weeks) before starting back up with Season Two of Dr. Bri Talks Lady Bits. The reason for this pause is to give me more time and space for my newest projects, including the creation of a new 30-day Kegel Camp and sharing my new online course, Overcome Pelvic Pain for Men. 

In addition to these big announcements, this is our first Q&A episode! I answer five questions from listeners including: 1) how to improve digestion, 2) exercise and intimacy with pessary, 3) discomfort during intimacy due to prolapse, 4) managing coccyx pain, and 5) the connection between spinal misalignment and pelvic floor dysfunction. 

This show has LOADS of resources and links! I'll do my best to list them in order based on when they were referred to during the show. I hope this gives you HELP and HOPE!!! See you in a few weeks for the start of Season Two! In the meantime, visit me EVERY DAY on YouTube for my 30-day Kegel Camp.

In this interview, Dr. Anna Cabeca busts some myths and shares pearls of wisdom about the keto diet, intermittent fasting, and how this applies to WOMEN! Dr. Anna shares: how to mobilize your own fat stores and shift your fuel source to experience "energized enlightenment," the power of low-carb greens, her thoughts on "Keto Dirty" vs. "Keto Clean," how to maintain metabolic flexibility, and why this way of eating and living is helpful for female hormone balance. 

A personal note from Bri: As an advocate for a plant-based diet, I was concerned about (yet another) keto plan, but Dr. Cabeca's is different. All of her recipes are dairy-free, and she emphasizes antioxidant-rich, detoxifying greens. She even offers a vegan plan for those who choose to limit (or omit) eggs and meat. This is a huge "win" for me! I've pre-ordered her book and have already started exploring! 

Posture and body mechanics: TOOLS FOR LIFE! If you're not driving, follow along with the exercises described in this chapter including "zipping up," postural awareness, and the "pelvic brace" technique. These essentials will reduce back and pelvic pain and can prevent prolapse, bladder leakage, and other pelvic health concerns. Resources and Links:

So many women don’t know what they want sexually, and even if they do, they don’t know how to ask for it.  Sarah is here to be a voice for change! In this episode we talk about how to move beyond sex that is focused on orgasms and erections, to sex that is focused on pleasure for BOTH parties. This is an intimate (but not explicit) episode, consider listening while wearing headphones! As sex coach Sarah Rose says, "Sex and pleasure can, and should, be part of your rehab. Pleasure is healing!"
