In this episode, host Dr. Yishan welcomes Dr. Nicole Fleischmann, a renowned board-certified urogynecologist and urologist, to delve into a topic that’s rarely discussed: the hidden connections between breathing, pelvic floor health, and women’s well-being. Dr. Fleischmann, author of "The Second Mouth: A Woman's Journey to Decoding a Hidden Language for a New Era in Women's Health," shares her groundbreaking perspective on how the way we breathe—specifically through our diaphragm and belly—can have a profound impact not just on relaxation and sleep, but also on pelvic health, urinary incontinence, and even sexual well-being. Together, Dr. Yishan and Dr. Fleischmann bust long-standing myths about Kegel exercises, posture, and what it really means to have a “strong” pelvic floor. They also explore why so many women live with undiagnosed pelvic floor issues, the culturally ingrained habits that might actually be harming us, and how simple but intentional breathing techniques can empower women to reconnect with their bodies and improve their quality of life. If you’re curious about better sleep, nervous system health, and what it really takes to care for your pelvic floor, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tips you won’t want to miss. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that just might change the way you think about your own body. Show Notes: deepintosleep.co/episode/breathing RESOURCES Are you so sleepy that you cannot focus?
