Got gas? The simplest explanation is you need to p**p!

There many different conditions that cause chronic gas and bloating, including endometriosis. Symptoms can vary and fluctuate.

Sometimes changing your diet can help and sometimes it doesn’t.

Drinking enough water and eating fiber are a good place to start 🌈 🦄

1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Someone I know recently shared her experience with this most heartbreaking event. It made me think about empathy - The highest form of wisdom and emotional intelligence, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. I asked for her permission to

This holiday has been especially difficult for us. We were supposed to have a happy announcement, but instead I will use this platform to bring awareness to pregnancy loss. 1 in 4 pregnancies will end in miscarriage. With a statistic like this, I was surprised by how little support I received after sharing this news with some of our closest friends. I already felt broken and angry with my body for failing me, and the lack of support from many of those we've shared this news with made me feel even more alone. Not to mention the clinic I loyally worked for through the pandemic expected me to return to work the same week this happened, as if this is a one-day process. Needless to say I'm taking a little time off to focus on healing. I didn't have the courage to share this before the holidays, but if you know someone struggling with loss this season, please show your support with a simple "how are you" because I guarantee they are not peachy. I do want to say thank you to those who have regularly checked in with us and offered your support, we will never forget it! Also, to be clear, I am not asking for advice. Just attempting to bring some awareness to how frequently this unfortunately happens.

Did you know that your psoas is the only muscle in your body which crosses three joints?!

It is a fascinating muscle that is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed.

Similar to the pelvic floor muscles, it is deep and hidden, we can’t easily touch it or see it contract, so we often don’t have as good of a relationship or understanding of it.

Fun fact: Filet mignon is the psoas 🐄 (ps I don’t eat beef 🚫)

Swipe through to get to know your psoas a little better!

A sh*tty post 💩 but that sh*t’s important ‼️

Healthy p**p looks like type 3 or 4.

Depending on your diet, it’s normal to p**p anywhere from 3 times a day to 3 times a week 💩💩💩

If you consistently have hard or loose stools, changes in frequency, your pelvic floor may not be functioning properly 🤔

Many GI issues directly effect the pelvic floor 🤯

If you’re not getting the answers or help you need from your doctor, try pelvic floor PT ✨ We’ve got a lot of techniques and treatment methods that other docs don’t use 🪄

Abortion is healthcare whether you like it or not.

creates a coercive environment for patients and clinicians. It’s a clear attack on women and the practice of medicine. Laws should not interfere with the ability of physicians and patients to determine appropriate treatment options.

Allowing private citizens to interfere with a woman’s reproductive health endangers patients and physicians.

Every woman *should* have the right to make decisions about their own health.

There is SO much wrong with this law. Extremely frustrating but glad to see so many people speaking up about it! Keep being loud!!!

🔥 9 minute core work out 🔥 NO EQUIPMENT NEEDED 💥

This is a tri-set that’s great for adding into a larger work out or on it’s own if you’re short on time. Can be used as a warm up or finisher.

Set a timer for 40s on, 20s off or 30s/30s (shorten/adjust time as needed) sometimes I do jumping jacks during the 20s rest.
Complete 3 rounds:

1️⃣Down dog alt. knee to tricep

2️⃣Half Burpee to Squat (modify by stepping instead of jumping)

3️⃣Plank Reaches (modify on knees)

Try it out and let me know how it goes!

More work out vid ideas brewing ☕️ stay tuned 📺

MYTH: Lifting weights will make me bulky 💪🏽🏋🏽‍♀️ Nope!

A common misconception about weight training, especially among women, is that it will lead to a bulky physique. This simply isn’t true - weightlifting promotes more fat loss than cardio (in part due to how quickly the body adapts to cardio).

Any exercise plan is only as good as the food that goes along with it 🍣 If you don’t consume enough protein, it’s not possible to put on muscle - no matter how much weight you lift! If you eat more calories than you burn, you won’t lose weight.

Benefits of strength training 🏋🏽‍♀️

💪🏽Strong and healthy bones
💪🏽Boosts metabolism and fat loss
💪🏽Regulates insulin
💪🏽Lowers inflammation
💪🏽Improves strength and endurance
💪🏽Burns more calories at rest
💪🏽No boring cardio required 😉

….and the list goes on!

It’s still important to do some cardio but it shouldn’t be your only form of exercise.

It’s important to find ways to stay active and maintain strength even when injured. At Rooted Wellness PT we design fitness programs, taking into consideration your injuries and goals so you can safely stay active and improve your quality of life 💪🏽
