In this eye-opening episode, Dr. G sits down with Dr. Sara Reardon, a pelvic floor physical therapist with 18 years of experience, to discuss the health issues that 1 in 3 women face but rarely talk about. From painful sex to urinary leakage, painful orgasms to constipation—these aren't just "normal parts of aging" that you have to accept.

Dr. Sara breaks down:

- Why most women don't even know what their pelvic floor is (and why that's a problem)

- The shocking connection between trauma and pelvic floor dysfunction

- Why you should NEVER push when you pee (and how it's weakening your pelvic floor) / How breathing exercises can literally heal your vagina

- The truth about painful periods and what they're really telling you

- Why Kegels aren't the answer for everyone (and what to do instead)

- How menopause affects your pelvic floor and what you can do about it

This conversation will change how you think about your body. Whether you're dealing with pain, leakage, or just want to understand this crucial part of your anatomy, this episode gives you the knowledge and tools to reclaim your pelvic health at any age.

Your pelvic floor affects everything; from your mood to your confidence to your relationships. It's time to stop suffering in silence.
