Did you know that hormone fluctuations can begin around age 35-40?
Did you also know that a lot of common pelvic floor issues that women experience are also exacerbated from changing hormones? These include:
- leaking when you laugh/cough/run/jump/sneeze (even just a little!)
- insomnia
- changes in libido and painful sex
- urge to use the bathroom right now/needing to use the bathroom frequently
- pelvic pressure or heaviness
- vaginal dryness
- loss of muscle mass & weight gain
While all of these are common issues for women to experience, they're not actually normal, and we shouldn't just have to deal with them. The impact of changing hormones can lead to more serious health complications besides pelvic floor dysfunction such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cognitive impairments. Recognizing changing hormones early can allow you to help prevent these health issues.
Let's talk all about these common (but not normal!) issues.
Attendees will receive a hormone screening tool, Changing Hormones Workbook, complete with pelvic health tips, hormone balancing tips, and an exercise program as a starting point toward long term health. Workshop will take place via a private Zoom meeting. Register by January 21st to receive workshop materials in the mail prior to the workshop. Cost is $25. SPACES ARE LIMITED!
