Were going beyond kegels and talking about real solutions for incontinence in midlife
This week, we’re talking about something so many women deal with — but almost no one talks about: urinary incontinence.
After having twins, I thought leaking was just something I’d have to live with. I was told to do kegels and move on. But they didn’t help — in fact, they made things worse.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nigel Brayer, creator of the Iron-Clad Bladder System, who’s on a mission to change the conversation around bladder health. We talk about why traditional advice only addresses a small piece of the problem, and how your nervous system, hormones, stress, and even your hydration habits play a much bigger role than most people realize.
If you’ve ever felt embarrassed, frustrated, or just confused about what’s happening with your body — this one’s for you. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to just live with it.
Listen in and learn:
- Why kegels aren’t always the answer
- How menopause, stress, and certain foods impact bladder function
- What to do instead — including physical, nutritional, and nervous system support
- How to break the shame and take back control of your health
