56. Strong Moms Don’t Ignore Diastasis Recti Postpartum

In this episode, I’m breaking down why strong moms don’t ignore diastasis recti postpartum. Whether you’re newly postpartum or years out from having babies, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on in your core and what you can do to feel strong again.

I talk about what diastasis recti actually is, why almost every woman experiences some degree of ab separation during pregnancy, and why healing diastasis is about so much more than closing the gap. I also share the biggest myths I hear in my office, including “just give it time” and “never do abs again,” plus the exact approach I use with my postpartum patients to rebuild their core safely and effectively.
