Summary
EP291. Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist, Aliya Dhalla, is back! In this episode she tells us about: the myth that any issues related to the pelvic floor (leaking etc.) is due to weakness, how a tight/tense pelvic floor leads to pelvic floor dysfunction, how pregnancy/labour/delivery/c-section affect the pelvic floor, and how improving mobility, stretches, core + pelvic floor strength, breath work, and guided body scans can benefit us when it comes to pelvic floor health. Check out Aliya's new Pelvic Floor Mobility Program HERE.

| 0:00.0 | Is drinking raw milk safe like RFK Jr. suggests? Can you reduce a glucose spike if you eat your food in, quote, unquote, the right order? I'm registered dietitian Abby Sharp. I host a nutrition myth-busting podcast called Bite Back with Abby Sharp. And those are just some of the questions I tackle with qualified experts on my show. |
| 0:21.4 | There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible |
| 0:27.9 | to know what's real and what's BS. |
| 0:30.7 | On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food, |
| 0:35.3 | their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the |
| 0:38.6 | fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:44.9 | This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Welcome to the mom room. Let's have a seat and |
| 0:53.2 | talk about our pelvic floor, shall we? |
| 0:55.6 | Ah, the good old pelvic floor. Just another one of those things that's so important for women. |
| 1:00.9 | It goes through trauma when we are pregnant, when we have babies, and yet we are taught nothing about it, |

| 1:25.2 | There's accounts that are dedicated to pelvic floor information. |
| 1:29.7 | So that's great. But yeah, I wouldn't have even heard about pelvic floor physio if I didn't go to |
| 1:35.1 | my friend's open house. She owns a clinic in Sudbury. Oh my gosh, what's it called? It is called |
| 1:40.5 | Rebalance. Shout out Lindsay. So anyway, she's a chiropractor. I knew her because we went to |
| 1:45.9 | the same high school. And so when we moved to Sudbury, I was pregnant and she was hosting this thing |
| 1:50.1 | at her clinic that was for pregnant women. And it was about, like, wellness. And they had a pelvic |
| 1:56.5 | floor physio do a talk. And I remember sitting there listening to the pelvic floor physio and being like, |
