#28 Body Health: Why Abdominal Separation Happens

  1. #28 Body Health: Why Abdominal Separation Happens Lori Clarke 56:21

In this episode, Kjersti talks about Diastasis Recti, a seperation of the ‘six-pack’ abdominal muscles that can occur in both men and women. The conversation is loaded with info from what to do if you think you have DRA, exercises to help repair and even walks us through a self-assessment. She says, “While DRA is something that happens normally in pregnancy, there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, it is our body’s way of adapting to the stretch and load that naturally occurs while pregnant.” She goes on to say, “DRA can affect anyone, including men, and can gradually develop over time. It is often misdiagnosed in men as a beer belly or weight gain.”
