In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie sits down with three incredible Your Health providers — Dr.Lisa Farrin-Arroyo, Nurse Practitioner, Stephanie Rich, and Nurse Practitioner, Amy Wyman — to unpack an often-overlooked aspect of health: your pelvic floor. Together, they explore how posture, breathing, stress, and even hydration affect pelvic health and urinary function. You’ll learn how to prevent and treat UTIs, when to seek help, and practical steps to improve pelvic strength at any age. This episode is for anyone who wants to live more comfortably, confidently, and proactively — while breaking the stigma around topics we all need to talk about.
