#162 The Truth About Pelvic Floor Dysfunction That No One Talks About | Andrea Dimler
2w ago00:36:41Tap to summarizeMost women have been told that leaking when you sneeze, lower back pain, hip pain, painful intimacy, and core weakness are simply part of motherhood. What if they're not? In this eye-opening conversation, Autumn sits down with prenatal and postpartum corrective exercise specialist Andrea Dimler to uncover one of the most overlooked areas of women's health: the pelvic floor. As a former labor and delivery nurse, neurology nurse, CrossFit coach, childbirth educator, and women's corrective exercise specialist, Andrea has helped countless women understand what most of us were never taught about the connection between breathing, posture, core strength, birth recovery, and pelvic floor health. What makes this conversation so surprising is that many symptoms women struggle with every day don't always point where we think they do. Back pain. Hip pain. Leaking when you laugh. Urgency to find a bathroom. Pain with intimacy. Core weakness that won't improve no matter how much you exercise. Many of these issues may have far more to do with the pelvic floor than most women realize. Inside this episode, you'll discover: • What the pelvic floor actually is and why it matters • The surprising connection between your breathing and pelvic floor health • Why leaking after childbirth is common, but not normal • The difference between a weak pelvic floor and an overly tight pelvic floor • Why back pain, hip pain, and posture issues may be connected • The truth about kegels and why they aren't always the answer • How pregnancy and childbirth impact the pelvic floor • Practical steps women can take today to begin supporting healing naturally • What every woman should know before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and after birth Whether you've had children or not, this conversation may completely change how you think about your body, your symptoms, and your health. Because sometimes the issue isn't where the pain shows up. It's where the story starts. ✳️ Check out Andrea's App ✴️ Connect with Andrea on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok 🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?

3w ago00:37:49Tap to summarizeMost people think about the food they eat and the water they drink. Few stop to think about the air they breathe. Yet the average person takes more than 20,000 breaths every single day, and the quality of that air may be impacting everything from sleep and allergies to asthma, mold exposure, inflammation, and overall health. In this episode, Autumn sits down with Justin Liberman, Director of Operations at Jasper, to discuss one of the most overlooked areas of health: indoor air quality. Justin shares the remarkable story behind Jasper's creation after one of the largest wildfires in Canadian history exposed a major gap in how homes were being restored after disaster. What began as a search for better air purification technology evolved into one of the most powerful home air-cleaning systems available today. Together, Autumn and Justin explore: • Why most air purifiers may not be doing what you think they are • The hidden connection between air quality and sleep • Mold, mycotoxins, and what every homeowner should understand • How HEPA and activated carbon filtration work together • Why asthma, allergies, congestion, and snoring may improve with cleaner air • The truth about airborne particles you can't see • What separates Jasper from other air purification systems • Why indoor air quality deserves a place in every health conversation If you've ever wondered whether your home environment could be affecting your health, this conversation will give you practical insights and actionable steps you can take today. ✴️ Connect with Jaspr on Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram 🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?

4w ago01:07:19Tap to summarizeWhat if some of the biggest beliefs in modern medicine were built on assumptions we've never been taught to question? In this mind-bending conversation, I sit down with Dr. Jordan Grant, former urologist and co-founder of Grant Hormone & Wellness, to explore the deeper philosophical, scientific, and spiritual questions surrounding modern health. From viruses and lab testing to genetics, hormones, terrain theory, and the limits of "scientific certainty," this episode challenges listeners to think beyond the narratives most of us were raised to trust without question.

Topics Discussed: • Terrain theory vs. germ theory • The philosophical limits of "science" • Viruses, PCR testing & cytopathic effects • Genes, lab testing & medical assumptions • Testosterone, hormones & modern health • Faith, worldview & critical thinking • The hidden dangers of blind trust in authority • Why questioning assumptions matters 👤 About Dr. Jordan Grant: Dr. Jordan Grant attended Texas A&M University, earned his medical degree from Texas Tech University School of Medicine, and completed his urologic residency through Baylor Scott & White Hospital.

Most people think about health through the lens of food, supplements, hormones, or fitness. But what if the air you breathe, the water you shower in, the mold hidden behind your walls, the chemicals in your home, or even the EMFs surrounding you every day are silently impacting your body?

May 600:41:54Tap to summarizeWhat if parents were given only half the conversation before making one of the biggest medical decisions for their children? In this episode of Know Better | Do Better, Autumn sits down with Angela, healthcare professional, mother, and creator of Injecting Truth, to discuss vaccines, informed consent, medical freedom, package inserts, adverse event reporting systems, and the questions many families never realize to ask. After her son experienced a reaction following his two-month visit, Angela began researching for herself and quickly discovered a side of the conversation she says is rarely discussed inside traditional medical settings. Together, they explore vaccine ingredients, aluminum exposure, informed consent, VAERS reporting, safety studies, chronic illness, childhood health, and why more parents are beginning to question the "safe and effective" narrative they've been told for years.

Apr 2900:33:54Tap to summarizeWhat if your symptoms aren't the problem? What if they're the proof your body is still working exactly the way God designed it to? In this solo episode, I challenge the idea that diagnoses define your future and explore how fear, labels, and compliance quietly reshape how we think about our bodies. Somewhere along the way, medicine stopped being a tool and started becoming a verdict. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. And the moment a label becomes identity, captivity begins. If you've ever been told "this is just how it is now," this conversation may change how you see your health forever.

Mar 2500:53:49Tap to summarizeHyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of the most powerful tools in modern integrative medicine… but most people don't actually understand what it does or when it should be used.
