Have you ever noticed a symptom in your body that felt small enough to ignore?

Maybe you noticed tension, a sense that something felt a little off, or even changes in your bladder habits, but you were just too busy to listen.

Did you know that stress and pelvic floor health are often more connected than many women realize?

Today, I'm talking with Cate Arima, a board-certified nurse practitioner at Stanford Health Care, fellowship-trained in integrative medicine, and creator of Stanford's Yoga for Incontinence program.

In this conversation, we explore the connection between stress, the nervous system, pelvic floor health, and the subtle ways our bodies try to get our attention long before we stop long enough to listen.

What if stress has been showing up in your body in ways you didn't expect? I think you'll find this conversation both fascinating and reassuring.

Let's see what Cate has to say.
