Episode Description:

Pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the most common yet least talked-about issues women face—and it affects everything from intimacy and confidence to basic daily comfort. In this episode, we’re back with Dr. Erica Lambert, board-certified urologist and founder of Uplift Medical Aesthetics, to break the silence around what’s really going on “down there.”

We cover what the pelvic floor actually is, how to know if yours might not be functioning the way it should, and the treatments that go far beyond kegels. Kristina shares her own experience of realizing symptoms she thought were “just normal” were actually signs of pelvic floor dysfunction—and how addressing them made her feel more connected to her body again.

This is part two of our conversation with Dr. Lambert (catch part one in Episode 30 for her background and a deep dive into perimenopause and hormones).

• What the pelvic floor actually is and why dysfunction is so common
• The biggest myths about pelvic floor health (and why shame keeps women quiet)
• Treatment options, from physical therapy to advanced procedures
• How pelvic floor health affects intimacy, confidence, and relationships

Episode Description:

Perimenopause doesn’t come with a guidebook, but this conversation might be the next best thing. We’re joined by Dr. Erica Lambert, a board-certified urologist, hormone replacement therapy specialist, and founder of Uplift Medical Aesthetics.

Dr. Lambert breaks down what perimenopause really is, why so many women are dismissed when they bring up their symptoms, and how hormone replacement therapy—when done safely and appropriately—can be a game-changer for energy, mood, libido, brain health, and long-term wellness.

Kristina also shares her own experience as Dr. Lambert’s patient, bringing a personal lens to what can feel like an overwhelming or confusing topic. Together, we’re busting myths, talking about the science, and giving you tools to advocate for your own health.

This is part one of our conversation with Dr. Lambert. In part two (coming next week), we’ll be covering pelvic floor health—what it is, why it matters, and the treatments that can actually help.

Episode Description:

For decades, women have been told that weight management comes down to willpower: “eat less, move more.” But what happens when the math doesn’t add up? In this episode, we’re joined by Physician Assistant Stephanie Gort, who specializes in gastroenterology and weight management, to talk about why the conversation is shifting — and why your health and self-worth are about so much more than a number on the scale.

We explore:

• How diet culture shaped our generation’s relationship with food and self-esteem.
• Why weight regulation is influenced by genetics, hormones, and life stages like pregnancy and perimenopause.
• The rise of GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) and what they actually do.
• The stigma and silence women face when they want help with weight loss.
• How to reframe “health” in terms of energy, strength, and balance rather than restriction.

This is an honest, shame-free conversation about the pressures women face, the science that’s finally catching up, and the freedom that comes from letting go of old rules.

Pink Spotlights ✨

• Christina: Reinvesting in denim now that she’s finally in a consistent size after pregnancy and postpartum. She’s living in a pair of Mother jeans that feel as comfortable as sweatpants.
