Discover Thy Self – For Mommy’s and Men who want to Understand “those parts” Better A brief review of “What’s Up Down There” by Lisa Rankin By Barbara Salvador
“What’s Up Down There?” No for real! So much does go on down there and things are constantly changing due to our hormonal cycles. It is confusing as it is, but then throw in pregnancy, and then… post pregnancy… and before you know it, menopause. Yes our schooling and sometimes our parents told us how the machinery works earlier in life but they did not explain the nuances in the body, the natural rhythms that create our own original experience and the fact that we all have similar issues. This becomes clear although we all have our own unique privates parts with their own needs.
Then there is the “orgasm.” I learned that a large percentage of women don’t have one! What about you ?
Well, I am here to let you know that whatever you experience, you are not alone, and Lissa Rankin is there to let you in on the secret in her book, What’s Up Down there? I love how she gets into sexuality, and orgasms, and even sex in your 80’s in this book. I laughed out loud so many times reading about her experiences with her patients.
But more importantly this book shared information that I was unwilling to discuss with friends (and I can say a lot!), information that helps you to understand your body better, information that lets you know you know you are normal.
The message she conveys is get to know your body, love your body and enjoy your sexuality. So if I had to review this book, I would say this is a must read for all women. It is one of the current books of our generation for our sexuality. So go , get to know thyself better! As Lissa would say, “Let’s talk about coochies and boobs.” Read it and let me know if you got anything out of it

Abdominal Muscle Separation; What you need to know
Pregnancy brings on many changes to your body. When I treat women during or after pregnancy, many ask me about their abdominal muscles. When assessing the abdomen postpartum, I always check for the possibility of a separation between the right and left most prominent abdominal muscles, the Rectus Abdominus muscles which run vertically along the abdomen. Most of you know these muscles as the “six pack” muscles.
