02. Secrets of the Pelvic Floor - Dr. Sara Bolden
If you are a human being, you have a pelvic floor.
But how much does this area affect your gut, your bladder, and the rest of your body?
That’s what we’re going to discuss today, but just before we do that I would like to invite you to invite others by rating the show on apple or spotify.
I’m hosting this show because after unraveling all of the medical lies I had been told about Endometriosis, I educated myself, and I was able to heal myself. Whether it's Endometriosis or any other painful disorder labeled as 'chronic', we expose the lesser-known solutions that can heal your mind, body & spirit.
And of course, I made (and continue to make) an ongoing art series about it titled, Every Phase–powerfully illustrating how I healed myself living by the phases of the female cycle infradian rhythm clock. Follow the series by subscribing at meredithochoa.com
Even though I was lied to for years by big pharma, I was able to find experts who helped me achieve the impossible. This space introduces them to you.
Today we are chatting with an extraordinary woman who helped me immensely in healing my pain, extraordinary human, Dr. Sara Bolden.
She is a licensed physical therapist, board-certified women's health clinical specialist and certified functional medicine provider. For over 18+ years, her focus has been helping and healing individuals with pelvic pain, urogynecologic disorders, and pelvic floor dysfunctions. She is among the first board-certified women's health clinical specialists in the metro-Atlanta region and started Women First Rehabilitation in 2006, an exclusive pelvic floor rehabilitation practice devoted entirely to helping individuals with pelvic pain and pelvic floor disorders. Dr. Bolden is an alumnus of LSU receiving a BS in Biochemistry as well as Shenandoah University where she received her Doctor of Physical Therapy. She is the founder of What a Girl Wants Seminars, speaking across the country to educate women on their bodies, helps couples enhance their intimacy, and is also the author of What a Girl Wants: The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex.

If there is a woman you know who is struggling with period pain, the foundation of how I healed myself began with reading Womancode & In The Flo by Alisa Vitti.
