268: The Overlooked Factor Affecting Your Digestion, Core Strength, and Orgasms, with Dr. Amanda Neri

Pelvic floor dysfunction affects about 1 in 4 women, yet most of us have no idea how it impacts our bodies. Today, Dr. Amanda Neri is breaking down everything you need to know about pelvic floor health—from what the pelvic floor actually does to the surprising symptoms that many women don’t realize are connected to the pelvic floor (like bloating or constipation). She shares how pelvic floor dysfunction can affect digestion, posture, sexual health, and strength training, why Kegels aren’t always the solution, and how stress, breathing patterns, and even the habit of sucking in your stomach can contribute to tension and dysfunction. Dr. Neri also shares everyday habits that can make a huge difference in how your body feels.

If you’ve ever struggled with symptoms that seem unrelated or felt like something in your body just isn’t working quite right, this conversation will give you a whole new perspective on your core and how to support it.
