About this episode

Today, you are going to learn about something that impacts 40% of women and 30% of men. This topic can be embarrassing and difficult to talk about, but Mel is putting an end to the shame.

Mel is opening up for the first time about her decades long struggle with leaky bladder and pelvic floor issues, sharing how they kept her from fully living, and what she did to finally stop suffering.

She has invited Dr. Rena Malik, MD, one of the top urologists in the world, to have this important conversation with her, and to give you the specific solutions you need if you struggle with leaky bladder, pelvic floor issues, UTIs, and constipation. 

Dr. Rena is an absolute powerhouse who is known for her viral, no-shame, straight-to-the-point advice. She’s a top urologist and pelvic surgeon who specializes in female pelvic medicine, reconstructive surgery, and sexual medicine. Her YouTube videos have over 300 million views and she’s published over 100 peer-reviewed research articles, multiple review articles, and book chapters.

And today, you’ve got an appointment with her. Join Dr. Rena and Mel for a very personal, open, and solution-filled conversation so you can take control and stop suffering.

This episode is so packed with actionable advice that you’ll want to share it with every person in your life who needs this information too.
