On this week’s episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia is joined by Christina Walsh, a New Orleans mama of two, physical therapist, published researcher, and cofounder of Tighten Your Tinkler–a pelvic floor rehab method designed specifically for women.

Christina knows firsthand what it’s like to live with pelvic floor dysfunction–and how to heal naturally, without kegels or invasive devices. Together, we dig into what every woman 35+ needs to know about pelvic floor health in perimenopause.

 

In this episode, I cover:

• What exactly is the pelvic floor and why it matters in your 40s+
• Common symptoms of a weak pelvic floor (i.e. bladder leaks, heaviness, pain, urgency)
• How hormone changes in perimenopause impact your pelvic floor
• The connection between pelvic floor health and intimacy
• Why Christina says kegels aren’t the answer (and what to do instead)
• Simple, non-invasive strategies to restore strength and function—at home

 

Whether you're dealing with leaks, pressure, prolapse, or pain during sex, this episode is for you!
