  Welcome back to another episode of the Dr K Show! On this episode we are asking the question, do you have a tight pelvic floor?

On a previous episode with Kelly Bryant we discussed issues with having a weak pelvic floor – the thing you hear most about when it comes to postnatal care. Usually women experience symptoms like peeing a bit if they jump or sneeze, or frequent urge or need to urinate.

It’s also common to experience constipation or bowel strains, low back pain, pain in the pelvic region, and even discomfort during intercourse for women.

Here’s the thing… a tight pelvic floor can have similar symptoms and it’s very common amongst female athletes – whether or not(!) you’ve gone through childbirth.

So today, Kelly and I are focusing on making sure you’re taking care of your health in areas that many women and even doctors seem to “brush off symptoms” as normal.

You can find the previous episode with Kelly talking about a weak pelvic floor and another perspective on pelvic floor dysfunction here on the Dr K show – and also make sure to stick around for this episode talking about ways to identify and improve a tight pelvic floor!

  Welcome back to another episode of the Dr K Show! I have Kelly Bryant with Kelly Bryant Wellness on the show today and we cover SO MANY rad topics that you’re just going to have to listen to the episode to see what I mean.

From using movement to rehabilitate your core after pregnancy, to getting a stronger body, to using breath work to de-stress and kick your body into a rest and digest state, we cover all of these topics and so much more in this episode.

Oh, and did you know you can PREPARE for pregnancy, too? Pre-natal care and nutrition is becoming so much more popular as women are being able to plan for when they want to have kids. This is AWESOME because it usually leads to healthier outcomes for both mom and the kiddo.

All of this that we talk about is what Kelly does!! She is a powerhouse and is awesome at helping her clients feel more comfortable in their bodies’ and in many cases getting their life back.

If you pee when you jump up and down – whether that’s after pregnancy or not – check out this episode because we go into the whys, hows and whats behind it.

The reality is many women and athletes think it’s normal to pee a little when they jump up and down or go out for a run.

That’s common but not normal. In fact, if your doctor tells you it’s normal – find someone that specializes in helping women rehabilitate their core. It will be worth it, I promise.

  Welcome back to another episode of the Dr K Show! I have Dr Robert Fredrickson on the show today and we cover a lot of the basics behind biohacking.

It’s a newer term that essentially means you test, make a change, and retest with something that pertains to your health. This can be anything from testing for vitamin and mineral deficiencies to metabolic health using continuous glucose monitors to optimizing certain areas of your life and lifestyle to age backwards or achieve the health you want.

But first! Dr Robert is a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine Practitioner in Austin Texas. He is the founder of his practice Fredrickson Health Solutions. 

Our conversation today touches on the importance and wide range of ways you can learn more about your body, your unique needs, and how that can translate to feeling amazing in your day to day life.

On this episode of the Dr K Show, Dr robert and I talk about:

– How to get curious about your health

– What are the benefits of “hacking” your health?

– Is aging backwards a thing? 

– How do you track sleep and optimal recovery?

– What sort of tests can you run to get a picture into your nutrition status, heart rate variability, glucose and metabolic health – and A LOT more.

Welcome back to another episode of the Dr K Show! I have Dr Kylie Burton on the show today and it is another PACKED with tips all about they thyroid.

Dr Kylie Burton is, like me, a Doctor of Chiropractic – but both of us went different ways from the Chiropractic profession and dove into Functional Medicine. She has an online practice – yep – completely online. She specializes in helping her patients get answers when they’ve struggled to find them anywhere else. You can find her course “Crack Your Thyroid Code” and her BRAND NEW podcast “Beyond the Diagnosis“.

Have you ever gone to your doctor and known something was wrong, but they couldn’t diagnose it? Have you taken thyroid after thyroid lab to get the same answer that nothing is wrong with your thyroid?

Every 1 in 5 women has an undiagnosed thyroid condition. That’s a lot of women with symptoms that they most likely are considering as “normal” – when they aren’t.

What are symptoms of Thyroid “concerns”:

– Cold hands/feet

– Thinning, losing hair

– Dry, cracking, peeling skin and nails

– Low (or high) metabolism… difficulty losing or gaining weight

– Chronic constipation (or slow gut motility)

On this episode of the Dr K Show, Dr Kylie Burton DC MS and I talk about:

– We discuss in detail the different causes to look into when it comes to treating Thyroid conditions

– The impact gut health can have on the thyroid

– Why stress and inflammation are key factors and need to be addressed

– She even draws it all out for you so that you can learn, too. It takes something that seems complicated and really helps to make it a bit more simple.

I really hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Thank you for so much for listening and I hope you enjoy the show!
