Episode Synopsis

Cough, laugh, sneeze… and leak? You're not alone — and it's not just "part of getting older." In this episode, Dr. Andrea McSwain unpacks the real reason women experience bladder leaks when they cough, laugh, or sneeze — and what it reveals about your pelvic floor, fascia, and hormone balance. You'll learn how declining estrogen and progesterone can change tissue strength, how pelvic muscles lose adaptability under chronic tension, and why holistic support (not just Kegels) is key to restoring control and confidence. Dr. McSwain also explores the surprising link between hormones and lung health — plus practical ways to reduce seasonal coughs, support tissue repair, and strengthen your core from the inside out. Whether you're in your 30s, postpartum, or perimenopausal, this episode will help you understand your body's signals, calm the frustration, and start healing naturally. #PelvicFloorHealth #BladderLeaks #HormoneBalance #WomensHealth #FunctionalMedicine #HolisticHealing #StressIncontinence
