Are you struggling with chronic pelvic pain and searching for effective ways to manage it? Join us as we dive into the world of pelvic pain treatments, exploring how both men and women can lower central pain sensitization through self-care and relaxation responses practiced over a three-month period. Discover the connection between the signal of urge and distress or danger, and how perimenopause and menopause can lead to bladder issues – and how topical hormones can help. We'll also discuss the benefits of mindful movement and breath work in retraining your brain and nervous system.

We're also excited to share with you the Pelvic Sense program, designed specifically for those dealing with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. This program offers 24/7 access to valuable knowledge, relaxation techniques, and exercises to help you find relief and cope with the social stigma often accompanying such conditions. Learn how this program can supplement in-person care, and understand the importance of self-care and patience in learning new patterns. Furthermore, we'll explore ongoing fibromyalgia studies and the importance of obtaining comprehensive care and support to reduce the physical and emotional pain of chronic illness. Don't miss this enlightening episode!

When I started this podcast—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That’s why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you’ve been told fibromyalgia “isn’t real” or that it’s “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You’re not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you’ll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD.
