In this episode, I’m chatting with pelvic health UK-based expert and author, Clare Bourne, to explore the often overlooked importance of pelvic floor health during perimenopause. Clare delves into the interconnectedness of pelvic floor muscles with overall body health and underscores why proactive and preventative measures are crucial, especially in our 40s and beyond.
From understanding the basics of pelvic floor anatomy to the role of weight lifting and exercise, and the impact of hormonal changes during menopause, taking about her book (Strong Foundations), this episode is packed with actionable tips and moments worth jotting down. Clare’s expertise shines through, and her approach to accessible women’s health care is both informative and inspiring.
I loved this episode, and will be using it as a resource for myself and my clients. If you’re a woman aged 35+, this episode is a must-listen! Tune in to maintain and improve your pelvic health, reduce symptoms of incontinence, and embrace a holistic approach to ageing proactively.
