What if you could achieve optimal pelvic health and better manage chronic pelvic pain better? In our latest episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Evelyn Hecht, a seasoned professional with over 25 years of experience treating pelvic physical therapy issues in both men and women. Evelyn shares her expertise on common conditions she treats, like painful sex, vaginismus, dysperunia, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, and many more.

We also dive into self-care techniques such as breath work, positive affirmations, and gratitude, which can help in calming the body. Evelyn emphasizes the importance of language when treating patients and discusses the lack of training in physicians when it comes to diagnosing and treating pelvic floor dysfunction. Throughout our conversation, we explore the connection between the pelvic floor and the mind, while shedding light on how to create healthier patterns for overall well-being.

In addition, we tackle the complexities of menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and the importance of self-care. Debunking the common misconception that nothing can be done about menopause symptoms, Evelyn encourages listeners to look inside for self-healing and empowerment. Our conversation also touches on the taboo subject of the pelvic floor and the lack of education around intimacy and pleasure. Don't miss this insightful episode, as we raise awareness for fibromyalgia care and the importance of self-care techniques to help calm the body.

Dr. Lenz is an internist, pediatrician, lifestyle medicine physician, and clinical lipidologist interested in helping those with fibromyalgia and related problems go beyond just learning to live with it and even reverse fibromyalgia. He is also the author of the book "Conquering Your Fibromyalgia: Real Answers and Real Solutions for Real Pain. " It is also available on

International Conference on ADHD in November 2025 where Dr. Lenz will be one of the speakers.

When I started this podcast—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That’s why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you’ve been told fibromyalgia “isn’t real” or that it’s “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You’re not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you’ll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD.


Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn’t replace personal medical advice.*
