In this episode, we're diving into pelvic floor health during midlife with Susan Winograd from Pelvicore Rehab in Boca Raton, FL.

Our pelvic floor is crucial, performing five key functions, so keeping it strong is essential. Did you know that breathing is key to keeping our pelvic floor and core strong? And that there are many other exercises besides Kegels for our pelvic floor? Susan talks about the five pillars of health for keeping our pelvic floor strong. And about tuning into our body's "check engine lights"—signals that something needs attention.

We also discuss how aging doesn't mean we must accept our bodies slowing down. Even if we haven't taken care of our pelvic floor before, there's so much we can do to get it to optimal health. As Susan says, "It's always too late to procrastinate. It's never too late to start."

Join us as we explore strategies and insights to maintain a robust pelvic floor and enhance your quality of life.
