  • Amazing content

    Thank you Melissa for your podcasts! They are so informative and on such a a great variety of topics - men’s health, pregnancy related issues and perimenopause. I also appreciate the experts you bring in. I feel like the information you share is evidence based and sound, cutting through the vast amount of diverse, non-evidence based information out there.

  • A key piece of a human body owners manual!

    Discovered this podcast shortly postpartum with my second after an unexpected c-section - I wish I’d found this earlier! This is so much more than just for birthing people as well because everyone has a pelvic floor that might need some tweaks.

    It’s been such a refreshing chance to hear that slightly overdoing it won’t won’t ruin anything. As a toddler mom it feels so casual post major surgery being sent home and told not to drive, lift heavier than baby, or do housework for 6 weeks without any... more

  • So good!

    Hi from Edmonton, AB! My friend in Kelowna recommended this podcast & I will forever be grateful. I jut started treating pelvic and I feel like this podcast is saving me. It can be so overwhelming getting start and there is so much to look at / review. It’s so nice to be able to pop one of these podcasts while I’m out and about. They are easy to follow along while still be informative!

  • Top notch learning tool

    As a newer pelvic health physio, this podcast is changing the way I learn about my practice! I’m big on learning through listening and I’ve never been able to find a podcast that I’ve so deeply enjoyed while doing my workouts, walking the dog, driving to work etc. that kept my attention and taught me about physio topics. Not only is this a learning tool for myself, but I try to send an episode to each of my clients after we first meet as well! This podcast is professional, engaging and empowerin... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

123. Menopause hormone therapy is now covered in British Columbia (March 1, 2026) with Shirley Weir
Q: Can you set the stage for why this coverage is happening now and what led to the change?
The change builds on BC's PharmaCare history, expanding from income-based coverage to a broader list that includes menopause hormone therapy, driven by data, advocacy, and the recognition of long-term health and cost benefits, such as preventing bone loss and reducing downstream medical needs.
122. Potty training and the pelvic floor with Dr. Quira Smith
Q: Would you say that your suggestion would be first that you're watching a child to see that they're getting the bodily sensations and then teach them to go to the potty?
The guest explains that introduction should focus on readiness through a combination of physical and developmental cues, using play and education to build comfort with the idea of toileting before expecting mastery, while gradually pairing sensation awareness with practical steps.
121. Diastasis; Social media is more damaging than crunches with Gráinne Donnelly
Q: Why did you decide to study the effects of social media on diastasis?
The researchers wanted to understand how online content influences women's beliefs, their fear or confidence, and their exercise choices, and to see how this aligns with the current scientific evidence.
118. Why do I not want to have sex? Is it my pelvic floor? With psychotherapist, Lucy Snider
Q: Before we get going, will you share a little bit about yourself?
Lucy Snider introduces herself as a sex and relationship psychotherapist based in British Columbia, with a background in medical sexual health and trauma support, and she describes how her work integrates psychotherapy with sexual health.
115. How compression garments can help with incontinence, prolapse, diastasis, c-section, pregnancy, hysterectomy, back pain and so much more
Q: Why should women care about proper measurement for compression garments?
Accurate sizing ensures the garment works effectively, and many women misunderstand their current size post-pregnancy.
