“The whole body is connected; if you’re holding tension in your shoulders, you’re holding tension in your hips and your lower back too, so get that tension out however you can.”

Topics Discussed:

  • Benefits of relaxing the pelvic floor.
  • How health and lifestyle changes benefit your gut and pelvic floor. 
  • Be cautious when it comes to taking supplements
  • Have you ever thought of how muscle tension impacts your fertility? Sometimes, simple physical exercises and lifestyle changes is all you need to impact your general health and eventually your fertility health.

    In this episode of the Finding Fertility podcast, we speak with Dr. Carolyn Messere, the founder of Soul Deep Wellness, and former colon and rectal surgeon. She helps women be heard and seen by challenging the party line regarding aging, intimacy, and health. Dr. Carolyn explains why she left Western medicine and how functional medicine personally transformed her health for the better.

    Listen in to learn the importance of improving your physical and mental health and your lifestyle to care for your pelvic floor and gut health.

    “Most of the probiotics that are available in the market can actually make you worse because your body doesn’t produce it, what you need is prebiotics (fiber).”

    Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me may not work for you. I am not a doctor, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional. Product recommendations are based on what I used during my infertility journey or wish I had.
