  • Relatable and Simple

    Andrea makes things super easy to understand and breaks something that may seem unattainable into small incremental steps. She focuses on not just your physical health, but your overall well being as a human. I find her to be extremely relatable in the season of life we are both in and appreciate how she incorporates that into her podcasts. Not everyone can dedicate 5-6 days a week to working out for 60-90 minutes. She gives you a way to have wins all day every day. I’m thankful I found her inst... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

278. The Pelvic Floor Connection to Hormones, Hip Pain, and More with Dr. Lizzie Kieffer
Q: What are some symptoms besides leakage that your pelvic floor might be having some issues like back pain, like whatever else, things that people might not be connecting?
Kieffer lists pelvic heaviness, pain referred to the low back or core, painful intercourse, urinary urgency, and persistent hip pain as possible signs. She notes that leakage can be associated with either a weak or a tight pelvic floor.
278. The Pelvic Floor Connection to Hormones, Hip Pain, and More with Dr. Lizzie Kieffer
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about how hormonal changes affect your pelvic floor?
Kieffer says estrogen changes, including postpartum drops and the shifts of perimenopause and menopause, can affect pelvic floor tissue. Lower estrogen can make tissue thinner and drier, influencing its function and the brain's connection to the muscles.
276. Nervous System Regulation for Pregnancy, Postpartum & Everyday Life With Rachelle Navarro
Q: How important is a partner or support network in regulation postpartum?
Supportive partners or doulas create a safe space, essential for regulation; if a partner isn't available, other trusted people or groups can fill that role, with planning sessions helping map out support.
276. Nervous System Regulation for Pregnancy, Postpartum & Everyday Life With Rachelle Navarro
Q: What does nervous system regulation look like in daily life and during labor?
It involves recognizing signs of dysregulation, using tools like breathing, affirmations, imagery, music, and environment changes to stay grounded, and applying hypnobirthing techniques to support a fear-free birth rather than a pain-free one.
276. Nervous System Regulation for Pregnancy, Postpartum & Everyday Life With Rachelle Navarro
Q: Tell me how you got into this background.
Rachelle shares her birth experiences across different countries and a traumatic-to-positive progression that motivated her to focus on nervous system regulation as a core tool for birth prep and motherhood.
