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.

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.

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

fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts.

This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Welcome to the mom room. Let's have a seat and

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
