no. 54 – The Diastasis Recti Episode
A little sprinkle when you sneeze, a “mummy tummy” that doesn’t go away long after you’ve given birth or even worse all may be the symptoms of a seldom-discussed but
In this episode with Kelly Dean of The Tummy Team we discuss:
- a brief anatomy lesson on the muscles that make up the abdomen
- the definition of “Diastasis Recti”
- how common “mom postures” worsen the condition
- why “ab exercises” aren’t the best approach to rehab after pregnancy
- the importance of functional core strength and neutral pelvic alignment for overall health
- the reality that it’s never too late for a woman to work on improving functional core strength
- the high rate of success The Tummy Team has with improving women’s symptoms related to Diastasis Recti
- the resources Kelly’s team offers at TheTummyTeam.com — including free resources, online programs/courses and more
I close out the show with a detailed follow-up to a topic I’ve talked about before — my at-home self-tanning routine. I received tons of questions recently on Instagram after posting a quick picture of my Maxi-Mist spray tan machine and am answering those questions in this segment. I discuss:
- where I tan
- who sprays my tan on
- what brand of spray tan liquid I use
- the imperfections of spray-tanning at home
- my current face tanning regimen and why I haven’t yet listed it on the Cool Stuff page
