Your pelvic floor on Thanksgivingโ€ฆ

More often than we realize, our pelvic floor takes on the brunt of our stress and anxiety.

Stress, anxiety, hustle and bustle, standing on our feet cooking all day, wrapping presents, lifting pots and pans and running after little kids (and pets!) around the house.

The holidays are my favorite time of year, but itโ€™s almost inevitable that with that comes less time to focus on ourselves or pay attention to what our body is telling us.

Hereโ€™s your gentle reminder to check in with your pelvic floor and try these quick tips to keep your posture, intra-abdominal pressure and nervous system happy all day. ๐Ÿค

Whatโ€™s your favorite way to check in with yourself? Let me know in the comments below! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Dehydrated urine can actually create more bladder urgency by irritating the lining of the bladder.

โœ… Aim for comfort + clear-to-light yellow urine and a voiding schedule of 2โ€“4 hours.

โœ… Hydration supports bladder comfortโ€”chugging or restricting donโ€™t.

โœ… Think steady sips, light-colored urine, and a 2โ€“4 hour voiding schedule.

๐Ÿ‘‰ If youโ€™re up all night, going every hour or not emptying all day, thatโ€™s a great reason to check in with a pelvic PT.

Planes, trains, andโ€ฆ panic pees? Try steady sipping of water, planned stops on a 2-4 hour voiding schedule, and full, relaxed emptying instead of hovering. Your bladder loves calm, consistent routinesโ€”even on the road.

(Normal frequency + complete emptying ideas align with bladder health guidance

Friendly check-in: Noticing your bodyโ€™s cues can shift your whole day. Try grading your urge from 1 (just-in-case) to 3 (go now) and practice waiting through a Level 1. Tiny wins = calmer bladder over time. Youโ€™ve got this.

๐ŸŒŸ This month we honor Rosalind Franklin, the unsung heroine who revolutionized womenโ€™s health.

Rosalind Franklinโ€™s contributions to the discovery of the DNA double helix through X-ray crystallography were indispensable and decisive, though often not fully acknowledged during her lifetime. ๐Ÿ’œ

We owe a lot to this heroine of women's health!
