Why your pelvic floor matters more than you think in perimenopause with Dr Sara Reardon

health and wellness
Written By Ann Marie McQueen

This week on the Hotflash inc Podcast, I’m talking with board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist Dr Sara Reardon, aka The Vagina Whisperer. With 650,000 followers on Instagram and 8 million TikTok views, Sara has become a trusted source for breaking down pelvic floor health in a way that’s clear, empowering and, yes, even fun.

Her upcoming book, FLOORED: A Woman’s Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage (out June 10 from HarperCollins Park Row), is an honest, comprehensive guide to the often-ignored foundation of our bodies. In our conversation, we get into how stress, childbirth, perimenopause and menopause affect the pelvic floor — and how we can take back our strength and vitality at every age.

From the perils of peeing too fast to disappearing orgasms, Dr. Sara brings science, compassion and truth to a topic most of us were never taught about.

Episode highlights:

  • Understanding Stress and Pelvic Floor Tension
