Fun to be quoted in National Geographic :

Tight hip flexors, especially a deep muscle called the psoas, can silently stress your spine. Here's why this muscle deserves more attention—and how to strengthen it.

“When scientists study only the male norm, we’re getting less than half of a complicated picture; all too often, we don’t know what we’re missing by ignoring sex differences, because we’re not asking the question.”
This book is gonna be good (I think). I’m just in the introduction. Have you heard of it yet?

Tissue health means use it or lose it. If muscles aren’t used they atrophy. If tendons aren’t loaded they weaken. Current research is finding that if you want the “separation” in your abds to strengthen you need to make that tissue work hard.

“Seperation” is a mis-nomer. There is no hole. Nothing is torn. It’s the tendon that runs down the middle of your abdomen and it has been stretched. It’s structure is similar to the achilles tendon.
No one would tell you to never try walking again if you stretched or injured your achilles tendon. The abdominal tendon (the linea alba) is similar in structure to the achilles. If you injure your achilles you work to get it strong again. If you injure your linea alba…work to get it strong again.

Achilles research suggests low reps and high load (70-90% of max).

Try: Reverse Nordic curls, decline crunches with rotations, eccentric abdominal exercises, lift your toddler. Make it hard
