EP #122 From Pregnancy To Menopause: Real Help For Women’s Pelvic Health
Most people are told to “live with it” when their body starts sending signals—leaks when they laugh, pelvic pain during pregnancy, discomfort with intimacy, or exercise setbacks that feel mysterious. We wanted a better answer, so we invited Dr. TaLisa Taylor, founder of Taylored 4 You Health and Wellness, to break down what pelvic health physical therapy actually does and how it changes daily life for women at every stage.
Dr. Taylor walks us through practical, stigma-free care from adolescence to perimenopause and menopause. We explore pregnancy support that goes beyond generic tips: how to manage pelvic and back pain, prep for birth with breathing and pushing strategies, and build body awareness that speeds postpartum recovery. She addresses urinary incontinence with a clear message—common isn’t normal—and explains why coordination and pressure management often matter more than brute strength. With consent-based internal and external exams, she pinpoints what each person needs, removing guesswork and making every exercise count.
We also dig into menopausal changes—vaginal dryness, painful intimacy, joint discomfort—and how pelvic floor therapy, mobility work, and smart training can restore comfort and confidence. On the community side, Dr. Taylor shares how workshops at Pilates, barre, and boot camp studios open doors, why one-in-three women live with pelvic floor dysfunction, and how local moms’ groups and social media help women find credible support fast. If you’ve ever wondered whether leaks are just your “new normal,” or if birth and menopause have to be a grind, this conversation offers a grounded, hopeful path forward.
