If you’ve ever been told you’re “cleared at 6 weeks”… but your body still doesn’t feel right — this episode is for you.
So many women are left feeling confused, frustrated, or even dismissed when they continue to experience symptoms like leaking, pelvic pressure, core weakness, or pain long after postpartum “should” be over.
But here’s the truth: postpartum is not just a phase — it’s a foundation.
In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down what actually changes in your body during pregnancy and postpartum, why so many women feel unsupported during this time, and what your body truly needs to heal, rebuild, and feel strong again.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your body or unsure how to safely return to exercise, this conversation will help you understand where to start and why your experience is valid.
In This Episode, We Explore:
Why postpartum recovery goes far beyond 6 weeks
Common symptoms that are often dismissed but shouldn’t be
What actually changes in your core and pelvic floor during pregnancy
Why “just doing kegels” isn’t enough
How to rebuild strength safely and progressively
Why This Matters
Postpartum isn’t about “bouncing back” — it’s about building a stronger, more supported foundation for the rest of your life.
When you understand what your body has gone through and how to properly support it, you can reduce symptoms, rebuild confidence, and return to movement in a way that actually feels good.
This is exactly the approach we take inside RESTORE, where women are guided step-by-step through reconnecting with their core and pelvic floor so they can feel strong, supported, and confident again.
