In this eye-opening and refreshingly candid episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Christina Walsh — physical therapist, published researcher, and co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler — for a conversation that every woman needs to hear.

Christina and her business partner Jen created a research-backed, non-invasive pelvic floor healing program after facing these exact issues themselves, and they’ve since helped thousands of women find real relief from bladder leaks, prolapse, pelvic pressure, back and hip pain, and so much more.

From ditching Kegels to understanding how perimenopause changes everything “down there,” this episode is packed with practical tools, real talk, and a whole lot of hope for any woman ready to listen to her body and finally start healing from the inside out.

What You’ll Learn:

•       Why Kegels often make pelvic floor symptoms worse — and what to do instead for real functional strength

•       The surprising symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction that go beyond bladder leaks (back pain, hip tightness, pelvic pressure, pain with sex, and more)

•       How perimenopause affects the pelvic floor — and why this is the most important time to take action

•       Simple at-home habits to start supporting your pelvic floor today: toileting posture, clothing choices, footwear, hydration, and fiber

•       How Christina and Jen’s research-backed Tighten Your Tinkler program works — and how a free 5-minute quiz tells you exactly where you stand
