If you’ve ever leaked a little when you laugh, sneeze, or lift something heavy — or felt pressure “down there,” this episode is for you.

Pelvic floor dysfunction affects over 52 million women in the U.S. alone. But most women don’t realize that’s what it is. They assume it’s just a normal part of getting older, or something that happens after kids or during workouts — and they quietly live with it. Pee pads get tossed in the shopping cart, and they try not to think about it.

But here’s the truth: Any kind of leakage is a red flag.

In this episode, I sit down with Jenn Lormand, a pelvic floor specialist, to discuss the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and what to do about it.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• What prolapse actually is — and how it develops over time
• How perimenopause and menopause contribute to these problems
• Why Kegels and core bracing are not the answer
• Why leaking during workouts, sneezing, or laughing is not normal — and why you shouldn't ignore it
• How some simple, targeted exercises can help retrain and strengthen your pelvic floor
• BONUS: 5 tips to reduce your risk of bladder infections in midlife
