Episode 10: UTM-Pee

In this episode of Speaking of Labias, Dr. Emily Schwerdt turns the mic to co-host Dr. Lauren Puretz, who just completed the legendary UTMB—109 miles through the Alps in brutal weather. Lauren shares the highs, lows, and hilarious mishaps of racing through rain, hail, snow, and mud while managing her body, mind, and pelvic floor. From gear choices to fueling strategies, pee-related regrets, and the mental battle of pushing through the night, she recounts how she became the top American finisher and placed 8th overall. A mix of raw honesty, grit, and laughter—this is one you don’t want to miss.
