🎙️ Episode 24 — Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald: Pelvic Pain, Postpartum Truths & The Future of Women’s HealthWelcome back to another episode of the High Performance Podcast.
Today, we’re joined by a true trailblazer in women’s health — Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald, gynecologist, surgeon, researcher, and one of the loudest, clearest voices pushing for change in modern medicine.Dr. Fitzgerald has become a powerhouse advocate online, using her platform to break the silence around topics too often dismissed, minimised, or misunderstood — from pelvic pain and recurrent UTIs to postpartum changes and pelvic floor dysfunction. Her work is redefining how we speak about women’s bodies, challenging outdated medical norms, and empowering women to understand the care they deserve.In this conversation, she opens up the often-hidden realities of childbirth, the complex relationship between hormones and bladder health, and the stigma women face around pelvic surgery and reconstruction. Dr. Fitzgerald also dives deep into why men need to be included in these conversations — because women’s health is a societal issue, not a “women’s issue.”We also explore how social media is reshaping medicine, giving women access to information that was previously gatekept, and what the future of women’s health must look like if we want real progress.
