Full Episode
Is it because you have prolapse? Is it because your muscles are non-relaxing? Is it because of the posture you have on the toilet that's not allowing things to empty completely? So you want to have an understanding of why so that you can then choose the right path to fix it.
You are tuned into the Dr. Tina Show with Dr. Tina Moore. For more, visit drtina.com. On this episode of The Dr. Tina Show, I'm sitting down with my friend, Kim Vopney. You may know her as The Vagina Coach. She is the author of Your Pelvic Floor. She is a personal trainer. She's a restorative exercise specialist. She is the pelvic floor guru. And I absolutely love her content.
I love her approach to things. And I thought it was critically important that I bring her on the show because many of you have reached out to me and said... Dr. Tina, I'm trying to start strength training, but I keep peeing my pants every time I do. And I take this seriously, although I was joking with Kim, I've got 99 problems, but pelvic floor dysfunction is not one of them.
I feel for you, my heart goes out to you, especially those of you who have had multiple children. I understand this is a real concern and there is hope. So we're gonna dive in with Kim today. We're gonna talk all things vagina, vagina health, pelvic floor health, strength training, how it goes with it, the steps you need to take and more. So without further ado, let's jump in.
We in this community spend so much time and effort ensuring that we're feeding ourselves well. Why aren't we doing the same for our pets? I've got three dogs, all different breeds. I love them to the moon and back and they're all thriving on Sunday's dog food. This food is the real deal. My dog with chronic ACL issues, no more limping.
My Havanese puppy, it's essentially the only thing he's ever eaten in his life and he is so tan and jacked. And my beautiful German shepherd rescue, we pack 20 pounds of healthy muscle onto him with Sundays. We don't deal with fleas anymore. They don't stink. And I think of high quality food as an investment in their longevity.
And if feeding them top tier means that I get more happy mobile years on the planet with them, then that's an investment I'm absolutely willing to make. Sunday's is fresh, air-dried dog food made from a short list of human-grade ingredients and 0% junk. No synthetic nutrients, no artificial fillers, just real whole food for your pup. And you'll see the difference.
Softer fur, fresher breath, better poops, and more energy. And the best part, there's no refrigeration, no prep. It's not gross. Just pour and serve. It ships right to your door so you'll never run out. Right now, you can get 40% off your first order of Sundays. Head to sundaysfordogs.com forward slash drtina or use the code drtina at checkout.
Kim, thank you so much for coming on the Dr. Tina Show today. I am very excited to have you here. You are a pelvic floor specialist and the vagina whisperer, as I think of you. And so we're going to have a really fun and colorful conversation today. We are. Thank you very much for having me. I'm excited to be here with you. Yeah. So tell me about your background. What do you do?
