167: Sex, Periods, & Mental Health - with Dr. Laura Meihofer, Doctor of Physical Therapy

First, I want to acknowledge that with everything happening around abortion rights, one can feel overwhelmed and helpless. I hope you know you're not alone and your body is YOUR body. My body, my damn choice. Now to get into the episode:

Laura Meihofer is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in pelvic health. For over a decade, Laura has worked tirelessly to earn her license, practice patient care, and publish research at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic — and now her private physical therapy practice, Laura Meihofer LLC.

Highlighting topics like vibrators, periods, menopause, postpartum, incontinence, pleasure, pain, and so much more, Laura is lifting the lid on formerly taboo topics and demystifying the pelvic floor. Pelvic floor dysfunction is extremely common! And, seeking information or professional help about pelvic floor conditions should not be shameful.

Laura's mission is to empower all individuals with pelvic floor concerns through evidence-based resources, movement, and products.

In this episode, we discuss the effect of hormones and birth control on one's mental health, period and premenstrual symptoms, sex expectations, pelvic pain, and more.
