At ReYouvenate Wellness Center, I’ve sat across from countless women strong, vibrant, accomplished who quietly whisper a truth they’ve been holding in for years:
“I leak when I laugh...”
“I can’t get through the night without getting up twice…”
“I stopped working out because of the embarrassment.”
If you’ve felt this, too, you’re not alone. In fact, you’re part of a silent majority.
🔹 1 in 3 women over 40 experience urinary incontinence.
And yet, only 1 in 9 seek help. Why? Because we've been conditioned to believe it's just part of aging, postpartum life, or menopause. But let me be clear:
It’s common—but it’s not normal. And it’s absolutely treatable.
The True Cost of “Just Dealing With It”
Many women spend $1,200–$2,000 per year on pads, laundry, supplements, medications, and doctor visits—without ever truly solving the problem.
Over five years, that’s up to $10,000, not including the emotional toll.
Imagine what that money and freedom could be spent on instead.
🚽 Bladder Leaks Are Just the Beginning…
Urinary incontinence is just one signal of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Weakened pelvic muscles can also cause:
Pain or loss of sensation during intimacy
Pelvic organ prolapse
Lower back pain and poor posture
Nighttime waking (nocturia)
Loss of confidence and social withdrawal
And here’s what most people don’t realize:
The pelvic floor is your core. When it’s weak, everything suffers—your sleep, your sex life, your workouts, and your peace of mind.
Introducing Emsella: A Life-Changing Chair
I brought Emsella to ReYouvenate because I wanted a solution that was effective, dignified, and truly non-invasive.
Here’s what makes it so remarkable:
Each 28-minute session delivers 11,000 Kegel-strength contractions
You remain fully clothed
There’s no pain, no downtime, and no surgery
It’s FDA-cleared and backed by science
95% of women report improvement after completing a series
The Hidden Statistics No One Talks About
Let’s break the silence with the truth:
67% of new moms experience bladder leaks postpartum
40% of postmenopausal women report incontinence or urgency
More than 50% say it limits their social life
Up to 30% experience headaches, muscle weakness, or unwanted side effects from surgery or medications
Only 1 in 5 women do Kegels correctly—yet it’s the most common advice we’re given
It’s Not Just About Leaks—It’s About Liberation
Emsella is restoring more than just bladder control.
It’s restoring confidence.
Freedom.
Sleep.
And even joy in intimacy again.
One of my patients said it best:
“I didn’t realize how much this was holding me back until it wasn’t anymore.”
