One of Jen’s good friends and clients is Laurie. And as Jen and Laurie were discussing menopause-related issues, Laurie shared her story about incontinence.
We always assumed that age-related incontinence was mostly due to going through childbirth, and was a separate issue from hormonal changes. Laurie really educated us about why that isn’t the case at all.
In fact, stress-incontinence can be directly connected to decreased estrogen and other hormone levels in our bodies, which dry out our tissues and cause atrophy. In this episode, Laurie shares her story about incontinence with us, in the hopes that her story will help other women who are stressed and suffering from something that may be very treatable. As she shared her experience, we was blown away again and again by brand new things we had never heard of - things like a Pessary, and a Uro-Gynecologist, and the Apex machine.
It was a huge gift for Laurie to share her story with us, and we are SO grateful! Please listen, and then share your story, or Laurie’s story, with other women in your life. We need to help open doors and shine the light on these topics for everyone!
