In this episode, Natalie Garay introduces the North of 40 Club, a community aimed at simplifying health for women over 40.

She discusses her personal experiences with C-sections, emphasizing the need for proper rehabilitation after such major surgeries.

The conversation highlights the importance of addressing abdominal weakness and the condition known as diastasis recti, providing insights into effective recovery strategies and exercises.

The North of 40 Club offers a supportive community for women over 40. C-sections are major surgeries that require proper rehabilitation. Many women leave the hospital without necessary physical therapy prescriptions after C-sections. Pilates can be an effective method for rehabilitating post-C-section bodies. Understanding the anatomy affected by C-sections is crucial for recovery. Women often experience abdominal weakness and diastasis recti after childbirth. Simple exercises can significantly improve abdominal strength if done consistently. Massaging scar tissue can help alleviate pain and discomfort post-surgery. The importance of community support in health and wellness journeys cannot be overstated. Resources and tools are available for women seeking to improve their health after 40. "C-section is a major fucking surgery." "I could help other women do the same thing." "We're talking about diastasis recti next."

In this episode, Natalie Garay discusses the importance of pelvic floor health, particularly for women who have experienced childbirth.

She highlights the common issue of incontinence and the misconceptions surrounding it, emphasizing that it is fixable through consistent exercise rather than surgery.

The conversation covers the anatomy of the pelvic floor, the effects of pregnancy and delivery on pelvic health, and practical exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor.

Natalie encourages open discussions about these topics to reduce stigma and promote awareness among women.

Pelvic floor health is crucial for women, especially postpartum. Incontinence is a common issue that can be addressed. Many women are unaware of pelvic floor problems due to stigma. Kegels are helpful but not the only solution. Strengthening the pelvic floor requires a holistic approach. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can weaken pelvic muscles. Consistent exercise can help avoid surgery for pelvic issues. Open conversations about pelvic health are necessary. Exercises can be found in Natalie's book and online community. There is hope for recovery from incontinence. "Kegels are not the end-all be-all." "You need to put your ass into it."
