‍3. Try Jude’s ‘Life-Changing’ Supplements

‍‍‍

Supplements are designed to support our daily diet and boost nutrition and it’s especially important when you are busy and living an active, full life. It’s all well and good knowing the foods to avoid - but ensuring that you are consuming exactly the right foods can be a minefield! That’s why supplements can be a godsend for targeting specific issues, such as bladder health -  and they can play a pivotal role in improving conditions like OAB. 

Women have oestrogen receptors throughout their bodies, with a higher concentration in the pelvic floor and bladder lining. Oestrogen is crucial for maintaining urinary health and the strength of the pelvic floor, but during menopause, the production of oestrogen reduces, and for many women, this can potentially lead to a weakened bladder and pelvic floor. 

Fortunately, by incorporating plant-based oestrogen into our diet we can help mitigate this decline, enhancing bladder functionality and overall urinary well-being. Interestingly, studies show that pumpkin seeds are especially beneficial for bladder control. These little seeds are rich in vital nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, and zinc, which collectively aid in naturally relaxing bladder muscles.

Jude’s Bladder Strength supplements were developed in collaboration with urogynaecologists and Harvard Medical School’s Professor Leena Pradhan-Nabzdyk, PhD, MBA, Jude’s Bladder Strength Supplements have undergone rigorous assessment, benefiting over 15,000 individuals in the UK. Each daily dose is packed with the benefits of 96 pumpkin seeds, and contains high-quality plant-based oestrogen, which are both clinically proven to strengthen pelvic muscles and reduce symptoms of overactive bladder. And that’s not all - the oestrogen-like properties of soy germ extract also improves the function of your pelvic floor.

Leena advises a minimum three-month regime for optimal outcomes.

“I strongly recommend at least a 12-week treatment to significantly reduce urination urgency, plus daytime and night-time frequency.”

But it’s not just the experts that think Jude’s Bladder Care Supplement is great - the testimonials speak for themselves:

Desiree says “Jude has changed my life. I have been taking it for a few months now and I no longer feel uncomfortable about going out for long periods of time. I don’t worry about having an “accident “ either when I’m out or in bed. I feel so much more comfortable.

Leah B. from Bradford says  “I’ve seen an improvement with leaks and my sleep quality. I seem to sleep more deeply, which makes me feel more rested, and I’m also more confident in the daytime about going without a pad, which I didn’t think I’d be able to do again.”

4. Do your pelvic floor exercises!

‍

The muscles that support your bladder, also known as the pelvic floor, are crucial to your bladder health. Regular pelvic floor exercises enhance muscle strength and elasticity, and reduce inadvertent leaks.

Pelvic floor exercises involve squeezing and lifting the muscles used to halt urine flow, without tensing surrounding areas. If you’ve never done them before, it might seem a bit tricky at first. But with regular practice, these exercises strengthen the muscles, aiding bladder control, organ support, and even enhancing sexual pleasure. 

Conveniently, these exercises can be done discreetly, whether you're at your desk, watching TV or even driving and you stop at a red light! Ideally, we need to do a set of 10 squeezes, three times a day to optimise our pelvic floor - and consistency is important. 

Don’t forget that exercising your pelvic floor muscles doesn’t just mean Kegels - there are many more creative ways that you can add core movement in to support this area!

5. Keep active without leak-xiety

Let’s be honest, when you are afraid of leaks it can limit the things you want to do. Do you miss running, going on long dog walks, or nipping to the gym because of the fear of needing the loo? 

As we get older, it’s important for our whole wellbeing to stay active. Jude’s range is designed around freeing you from leaks. Their Leakproof Pants are perfect for giving you reassurance between loo trips as they hold up to 8 teaspoons of pee, are super soft without any bulky gusset and they lock potential nasty whiffs away - so you can stop feeling self-conscious and focus on doing the things you love.
