I am delighted to connect with Kim Vopni today, who is passionate about sharing information on pelvic health. She is a self-professed pelvic health evangelist known as the Vagina Coach. She is also a certified fitness professional, a published author, and the founder of Pelvienne Wellness Inc., which offers pelvic health programs, products, and coaching.

In our discussion today, we dive into the role of the pelvic floor, looking at the core four and the challenge of addressing uncomfortable topics. We explain why the diaphragm is significant, and we look at the ABCs of posture. We also explore the impact of incontinence, constipation, overactive bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, and some common ideologies of pelvic floor dysfunction, including footwear, ankle positioning, and hypermobility issues.

This invaluable discussion with Kim Vopni is a complementary conversation to the recent episode with Dr. Rina Malik.
