162: Practical Things Female Athletes Should Know About Their Pelvic Health

Let's be honest…female athletes, and women in general, are not taught a lot about their bodies, especially as it relates to pelvic health and athletic performance. Most people don't learn until they have to, so in an effort to provide some practical advice for female athletes across the span of their lifetime, I elaborated on a very popular Instagram post I did last week which sparked a lot of questions! This episode covers 11 kinda awkward, but very helpful things you should know and do to keep yourself healthy from the inside out!   Want to get certified to coach others through pregnancy or postpartum (or just learn more about your own body)?
