Ep. 51 - Pelvic Health 101: What All Women Need to Know - with Rachel Shepard

We are SO excited to introduce all of you to Rachel Shepard, PT, DPT, a pelvic health expert and physical therapist (and listener!) who reached out to us. We learned a TON during this episode – like how the sex and health education system straight up failed us – and we know you will too!

We’ve been taking our Care/of vitamins and we feel great! They’re a unique monthly vitamin service that focuses on honest guidance, better ingredients, and personalization. You just answer a quick questionnaire about your goals, lifestyle, and values – then they will help you pick vitamins that are good for your body.

You can get 50% off your first month of vitamins by using the code ‘SHINE’ at checkout! Get started by taking the quiz.

We Chat About:

• How the public education system failed us
• When you might benefit from pelvic rehab
• The crazy way we treat women after pregnancy
• What exactly the pelvis is (and why it’s important)
