Aside from being able to listen to The Hormone Lifestyle Zone on iTunes and Spotify you’ll also be able to watch today’s podcast and future episodes on my YouTube Channel.

Sweet Lovelies, my mission is to bring deeper awareness and understanding to different aspects of women’s health. I’ve wanted to explore women’s pelvic floor issues for a while. It’s more common than many realize and 1 in 3 women will experience a pelvic floor disorder in their lifetime.

PFD refers to a broad constellation of symptoms that include the following: Pain during sex, chronic UTIs, constipation, urinary or fecal incontinence and pelvic floor challenges pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, postpartum, and after a hysterectomy.

As many as 50% of women with chronic constipation have pelvic floor dysfunction.

As today’s guest, I’m delighted to have Merci Ortenzi Treaster a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist and owner of The Pelvis Pro in Atlanta, GA. I love that one of her moms is an OB/GYN and her other mom is a chiropractor. I guess it’s in Merci’s genes and life’s calling to work with women in this incredible capacity!

Please join Merci and me as we take a deep dive into demystify various pelvic floor issues. Learn how you can recognize the symptoms and causes to create lasting resolution.
