"I argue pelvic floor physical therapists can literally change marriages." - Kim Vopni
When I sat down with Kim Vopni, known as "The Vagina Coach," she dropped a bombshell that completely blew my mind about bladder infections that should be standard care—but isn't. As someone who's spent decades in the health and fitness world, I thought I knew everything about taking care of my body. But this conversation revealed a massive blind spot that affects up to 50% of women who've given birth, and countless others who haven't. Kim's expertise revealed why pelvic floor health for women over 40 is absolutely critical, yet so many of us are secretly struggling with issues we've been told are "just part of being a woman" or "normal aging." From understanding why 95% of women with low back pain have pelvic floor dysfunction to learning how vaginal estrogen can be a game-changer for UTI prevention, this episode will transform how you think about your body and empower you to take action that could literally change your life.
