Dr. Carrie Pagliano wants to set the record straight on your pelvic health. Women do not need to feel broken if they have incontinence, prolapse, or pain. You can overcome these issues and come back stronger!

With 25 years of experience, Carrie is one of the foremost pelvic health physical therapists in the US and has been a trailblazer in a field that is continually evolving. 

In this episode, we explore Carrie's journey into pelvic health, including the evolution of pelvic health awareness and recent shifts in knowledge.

We talk about:

🌀misconceptions about pelvic health and debunk myths,

🌀main symptoms that people don’t realize are connected to pelvic floor dysfunction, 

🌀the impact of hormonal changes including from pregnancy to perimenopause on our pelvic floor function, and

🌀four crucial insights she wishes every woman knew about pelvic health.

Whitney Heins is a mom of 2, a lifelong runner, a VDOT-certified running coach for moms who run, and founder of the resource, themotherrunners.com. When training for her first marathon as a mom, she found a dearth of information related to running and motherhood. She also felt extremely isolated as a new mom. As a former TV journalist and a freelance writer she decided to use her skills to fill the void with an online resource and community, called The Mother Runners. Whitney also recognized a need for run coaches who understood the demands of motherhood, so she also became a running coach—unearthing a passion for helping moms reap the rewards and empowerment of running. Coming out of a long injury cycle, she ran a 2:54 marathon and 1:20 half marathon in her 40s. She lives in Knoxville, TN with her husband, two kids, and three dogs.
