September is Sexual Health Awareness Month — which means I get to talk to you about one of my favorite subjects! And if you’re wrinkling your nose up a little bit at the thought of learning about sexual health, I get it. For so long, we’ve been encouraged to act like women’s sexual health is a no-no topic. Something we certainly don’t talk about in public.  But that’s exactly the reason we need a special month devoted to having these kinds of…Read More…

The pelvic brace is your secret weapon when you are suffering from bladder, bowel and organ prolapse, “mommy tummy” or poor pelvic stability. A pelvic brace is a combination of a TrA contraction and a low-level Kegel contraction. This amazing combo exercise can help decrease back pain, stabilize the…Read More…

After months of lockdowns, social distancing, and bad at-home haircuts, in New York where I live, we’re finally feeling like we can return to a little bit of normal…Just as those of you in other areas of the country are starting to get hit the hardest. I feel for you, I really do. But after all this time in isolation, I’ve emerged ready to take this stupid virus down. I may not be able to travel around and make all of you take your vitamins like I’d like to… Read More…

A whopping 75-85% of Americans will suffer from some kind of back pain throughout their lives. Many of them will have chronic, recurring pain. You might not know this, but women are just as prone to get back pain as men, and much of it is tied directly to pelvic floor issues. And there are a ton of so-called “solutions” out there that promise that one single stretch or exercise will eliminate the pain for good. If only it were that easy. 

The reality is, there is NO magic bullet, and anyone who tells you there is… is trying to profit from your pain. Simple as that. … Read More…

Recently, I’ve seen some pretty disturbing rumors on social media suggesting that Kegels don’t work and won’t help women heal their “Lady Parts” problems.
Ultimately, this click-bait, fear-mongering nonsense only serves to confuse and disempower women who are likely in a very vulnerable place. When women are discouraged from employing tactics that can actually help them heal, everyone suffers. And for the most part, people that are saying these things are… Read More…

What you focus on, grows. Did you know that? Most of us go through our daily lives, without realizing how much power our thoughts hold over us. We don’t choose our thoughts with intention. We just let them come. And for the most part, our thoughts come out of habit. Habits that we developed when we were very young. Thoughts like, “I’m just not naturally athletic,” or “I’m bad at math” just become part of who we are. But what if I told you…Read More…

It’s 2020. Half the world is female. And yet, our bodies, body parts, and our health issues are still somehow considered embarrassing or taboo.
My case in point:
• When 236 college students were surveyed, 80% of men and 62% of the women who participated couldn’t correctly identify the vagina on a diagram.
• A recent study of Britons showed similar levels of miseducation. About half of the survey respondents could neither identify nor describe the function of the vagina, labia, or urethra. 
In another survey… Read More…

At this point in the year, we are all feeling a little off our game, am I right? Months of social isolation have left us feeling depleted, frustrated, and maybe just a tiny bit crazy. Who knew that not being able to get your hair colored or teeth cleaned for so long would leave you feeling like a lost puppy? As we’re all hoping to move on with our lives and transform back into the more… Read More…
