Today, we're talking all about diastasis recti–what it is, what's normal, and how to fix it. Because I have people come into my office and reach out online every single day about this. So, in this episode, I'm here to tell you that diastasis recti, or ab separation, is totally normal in pregnancy and postpartum. I'm also sharing what you can do during pregnancy so it doesn't get worse, how to start functionally healing it back up postpartum (and when to pursue more advanced treatment), and debunking some of the biggest myths around diastasis recti.

I know the emotional toll this can have on moms, especially when we're trying to find who we are again, so I hope this episode helps ease some of those nerves you may have. And don't forget to grab my free download to help heal your diastasis recti and feel stronger than ever!

After my third baby, at almost 40, I was doing everything “right” but still felt stuck; low energy, slow recovery, and the weight wouldn’t budge. Finding Make Wellness and their natural peptide programs has been a total game-changer for my metabolism, energy, and healing.
