The Doctors CUT the segment!!

Totally sad news – The Doctors decided to revamp the show into a “100 questions” deal and not do any type of in depth discussion on the diastasis recti – AKA the MUMMY TUMMY or MOMMY TUMMY.

This is very disappointing not only to Julie Tupler, who I have emailed back and forth about this, but also to me, and women that I teach and train, and other people who could have REALLY benefited from knowing MORE about this topic.

Believe me, when women understand what this is, and measure their own diastasis and feel that crazy gap in the muscles, they REALLY understand why their midsection is just not the same, even if they run miles and miles, and work out 1 hour a day, etc. Believe me I teach and train those type of women who just can’t understand WHY what they are doing is not working.

So ANYWAY, they DID give Julie a quick “props” type of thing on the website

http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/show_synopsis/294?section=resources

because one of the questions was about the diastasis (although they did not mention her).

HOWEVER – I realize after watching the 60 second segment on the diastasis http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/procedure_list/501 that they VERY INACURATELY told this poor women that she would have to get SURGERY to correct this problem. The doctor recommended CRUNCHES to someone with a “small diastasis” which can make it WORSE, and just pointed to the surgeon who proudly said one of his “TUMMY TUCKS” would do the trick, although “problems could arise.”

HELLLLOOOOO? This just seems like a very “fast way” to approach the topic that is also misinforming postpartum women everywhere. They were going to have Julie on to talk about exercises and splinting the muscles which can TOTALLY CLOSE a diastasis recti WITHOUT SURGERY. Women I train have been told they need surgery, and I have helped them TOTALLY CLOSE their diastasis recti in 8 weeks – no “possibly harmful side affects” like surgery.

ALSO, they said your “OB GYN” could diagnos this problem. Yeah, they learn about this topic during ONE paragraph in med school. Maybe even a couple of pages. SOME OB-GYNS can tell you if you have one, many don’t know how to measure or that you measure in 3 places. And most of all, they can only refer you to a surgeon because THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT!

IDIOTS!

ANYWAY, if you would like to see REAL INFORMATION on this topic, or just more in depth, on the “THE DOCTORS” please write in and let them know. I think a show on this topic would be much more beneficial than the other show topics I saw, like

“What color is your labia” (GAG ME – is this a joke?)
“Do you have cankles?” (This subject is being OVERDONE by the media – BORING!)
“Do you want butt implants? (Come on, this is SOOO superficial! Who cares!)

So please go to their website: www.thedoctorstv.com and let them know you want to hear more about the diastasis and the TUPLER TECHNIQUE (exercises to close the recti after pregnancy) rather than SNIVELING topics that are just trying to sensationalize nothingness.

ENOUGH RANT??? I am disgusted!
