A strong core is not just about physical health but also contributes to overall well-being. It can boost your self-confidence, improve body image, and enhance your ability to engage in physical activities you enjoy.

What is diastasis recti? Julie Tupler is a registered nurse, certified childbirth educator, and certified personal trainer. She is the pioneer behind the TuplerTechnique®, a program designed to treat diastasis recti in women, men and children. Julie breaks down the common condition and explains how it affects everyone, regardless of gender, from childhood to adulthood.

She joins podcast hosts Amber Berger and Dina Wizmur to share valuable insights into its connections with the pelvic floor and the importance of strengthening the transverse muscle. Her expertise shines through as she unveils the secrets behind diastasis recti and offers hope to those looking to heal their cores. How long does it take to resolve diastasis recti? Can it reopen after being closed? She addresses these questions and more, shedding light on the journey to a stronger, healthier core. 

Topics Discussed: 

Diastasis Recti Defined: Diastasis recti is a condition where the outermost abdominal muscles separate, and the connective tissue between them stretches sideways. It is not gender-specific and can affect both men and women. 

Diagnosis of Diastasis Recti: Diastasis recti can be diagnosed by checking for a separation between the abdominal muscles and the condition of the connective tissue between them. Severe cases may lead to an outie belly button or a noticeable bulge when performing certain movements. 

Connection to Pelvic Floor: Diastasis recti is connected to the pelvic floor, and addressing one often involves addressing the other. Strengthening the transverse muscle can help with both conditions. 

Exercise Safely: Certain exercises, like crunches, can worsen diastasis recti if the transverse muscle isn't engaged. Pilates and yoga can be diastasis-safe if practiced correctly. 

Treatment Duration: The time it takes to resolve diastasis recti varies depending on its severity and the commitment to a treatment program. Significant improvement can be seen in as little as six weeks, but it may take longer for complete closure. Reoccurrence: Diastasis recti can reopen, especially if activities that strain the connective tissue are continued. Maintaining good habits and core strength is crucial. Co-management: Chiropractors and healthcare professionals can co-manage diastasis recti with Julie's program, even if they don't have time for extensive training. 

Connective Tissue Health: Strengthening the connective tissue is crucial for healing diastasis recti and supporting the core.

The skin undergoes changes throughout the menstrual cycle and with age. One no longer needs to settle for less, as it becomes thinner, loses fat, and loses its once plump and smooth appearance. However, there is hope in defying the skin’s aging process with Young Goose Skincare - a groundbreaking skincare line established in 2017 - with a mission to biohack skincare and rejuvenate the skin on a cellular level by utilizing powerful ingredients like NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide). Founders Amitay Eshel and Anastasia Khodzhaeva join hosts Amber Berger and Dina Wizmur for an insightful conversation on how their products aid in slowing down the skin aging process. They also emphasize that skin health is not solely dependent on external products but rather influenced by internal factors such as gut health, sleep patterns, stress levels, and overall diet.

Episode Highlights: 

- NAD+ makes your cells function younger, slowing the skin aging process

- Use SPF both indoors and outdoors; SPF protects skin from toxins like pollution and even blue light from computer and phone screens 

- 80% of the reason your skin ages specifically is due to contributors like pollution and radiation 

- Topical Botox for the eyes

- Facial massage helps drain the quality of the fluid in the skin

- Skin evolves throughout a woman’s cycle
