57: Running While Postpartum (and Perimenopausal!) with Dr. Carrie Pagliano

“I had two choices. Either give up what I love to do or look for a new path and figure it out.” - Dr. Carrie PaglianoFrom the newborn months to the teen years, modern motherhood is crazy busy for most of us. Juggling children’s needs, managing our careers, and carrying the mental load often means living in a state where we need not only physical rest, but activities that help with neurologic rest and nervous system regulation.As health care professionals, we can facilitate that. By collaborating with your clients to help them clarify their vision and goals, you can refine your recommendations down to the most efficient and necessary things that will make a significant difference to their lives. Guiding your clients through our overly complicated healthcare system and pointing them in the right direction for sub-specialists can be the key to achieving the patient outcomes you want. She wants to feel well, and you get to be a part of making that happen, no matter where you are on her team.In this episode, Dr. Carrie and I discuss the often-overlooked complexities of returning to fitness after childbirth, navigating the physical changes that accompany perimenopause and menopause, the importance of integrating orthopedics and sports medicine with women's health, the necessity of a holistic and proactive approach to care, empowering women through education and support, the value of strength training, the role of hypermobility in pelvic floor health, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/running-while-postpartum-and-perimenopausal-with-dr-carrie-pagliano/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).
