Finally Fearless with Dr. Mel

"Am I the only one who's going through things like this?" This is a question I get asked a lot by clients who have never been pregnant (and never plan to be) but experience things like leaking, pelvic pain, constipation, and prolapse.The truth is, pelvic floor issues can happen in ANYONE, regardless of birthing history. Today, we uncover what can go down and why that's the case. You aren't alone.Pelvic health is so much more than Kegels and squeezing balls between your knees. Your pelvic floor isn't just some moody muscle — it's the MVP of everything from laughing, sneezing, pooping, peeing, sexual pleasure, housing and having babies to things we don't normally think of: like working out, lifting human babies (and fur babies), and keeping our bodies stable in a world that can feel anything but.It's influenced by what you eat, how you move, what's on your mind, and everything life throws your way. Around here, we're ditching the fear, the shame, and the outdated advice. Instead, you'll get practical tips, honest conversations, and a whole lot of empowerment.Join the Mailing List by clicking here!Work with me: ⁠www.yournewquest.com⁠Follow me on TikTok: @dr.mel_dpt**Information presented in this podcast is not to be taken as medical advice and is for educational and entertainment purposes only**Music by Roman Orekhov from Pixabay

Today we are talking about the 2 most common groups in which my clients tend to fall: those who are postpartum and feel like they're the only ones who won't "just deal with" their leaking or prolapse or :insert any pelvic floor woe here: or clients who have never been/plan to be postpartum and feel like they are "weird" for having pelvic floor issues.If you can relate to either of these, I want you to stick around for this episode.You're not alone.Pelvic health is so much more than Kegels and squeezing balls between your knees.

We've all heard that kegels are *THE* pelvic floor strengthening exercise, but what we've been told for so long (and without any expertise behind the message) is actually doing us a disservice.

It's absolutely wild to me that people get offended when someone calls a penis or vagina by their "actual" anatomical names. Beyond the embarrassment that's apparent here, today we will dig a little deeper in realizing how the ways in which we talk about our bodies affect their performance: especially when it comes to the pelvic floor!

"What should I be mindful of when recovering from ____?" You can insert anything here: injury, surgery, giving birth... ...and this also applies to whether you're not really recovering from something other than what diet culture's telling you exercise "should" look like... In today's episode, we are uncovering the main piece of advice I will give when it comes down to building your body's strength, endurance, flexibility, and mobility in the best, most effective ways possible!

Something that is (mind blowingly) common in my line of work is when MDs and healthcare providers tell people to "wait and see" whether their leaking or pelvic pain or prolapse get worse before agreeing to give them a referral to pelvic rehab. I don't understand it, and I don't think I ever will. Today we are talking about why the "wait and see" approach is utter trash, why just because your symptoms have resolved doesn't necessarily mean the source of the problem has been solved, and how you can approach this situation if you're ever faced with it.

Have you ever pushed through pain or leaking or just not feeling "right" in your body during a workout? Maybe you're not sure when to push through discomfort and when to stop and modify. Maybe you're not sure of the difference between discomfort and pain. Maybe you're worried that if you see someone like a physical therapist, they're gonna tell you to stop working with your personal trainer or Pilates instructor and you just don't want to do that. Today's episode stems off an earlier one I did re: CPTs vs. PTs and expands into why firing the people who make you feel good while rehabbing an injury/ailment might not always be the best answer.

You're newly postpartum and you make the mistake of sneezing. All of a sudden, you really wish you didn't decide that today was the day you went without a pad. "Welcome to the mommy club, where peeing your pants is normal," is the echoed reaction from your mom, your best friend, and everyone in your local mom group. I call bullshit. I get that people who say this mean no harm. That there is a sense of comfort in community. That it feels good to know you're not the ONLY one experiencing this, even though you wish you never had to. Today we are talking about how "jokes" like this which normalize pelvic health issues actually could be doing more harm than we realize, and how we can still remain light and hopeful about issues like incontinence without ALSO accepting that this is our new fate.

A question I get very frequently is "when should I see a physical therapist vs. a personal trainer?" For many of my clients, they work with both at the same time! In today's episode, we uncover when a PT might benefit you over a CPT, what the main differences are between CPTs and PTs, and why good physical therapy sometimes looks insanely similar to what you would see inside a training program written by your personal trainer.

This episode is seasoned with a lot of salt! Today, we are touching on the new social media pastime of accusing people of "not supporting women" any time someone calls out trash behavior exhibited by a woman, how I've been called out multiple times for "not supporting women" (LOL), and the time I was actually called a misogynist on reddit.

According to the CDC recommendation, we should be getting 150 min of "moderate intensity" exercise + 2 strength training sessions in each week in order to be fit & healthy. But what if you're just starting out? What if you're recovering from an injury? What if you're newly postpartum? What if you're leaking (especially if you're leaking with exercise)? What if you can't carve out 7 days a week of exercise? This episode breaks these guidelines down into more manageable parts to offer some new ways to start approaching your body and your exercise routine, especially if just reading this guideline alone has you like "I can't fit that into my life, so what's the point??" Cuz there is more nuance to exercise than we're ever taught: and neglecting to acknowledge this is partly why we equate working out with punishment...which can actually INCREASE your leaking, pain, and decrease your overall fitness levels. There is a better way!

Grifters are ALWAYS gonna grift. In today's (salty) episode, we are covering all the trash rhetoric surrounding (and preying on) people who have given birth.

How many times do you feel like you're just coasting through your workouts or your life in general? We are oftentimes told what we "should" be doing, so we check out just to get the damn things done rather than check IN.

Pelvic organ prolapse happens in 35-50% of postpartum people, yet no one ever talks about it. Even more mind blowing is people don't realize that it can also occur in those who've never been pregnant. But it sounds scarier than it is! Today we are talking all things prolapse: what it is, what you can do about it (beyond surgery and wearing a pessary forever), and how you can prevent it in the first place!

"Are you eating enough?" This is a question I ask most private clients, regardless of the body standing in front of me. Oftentimes, our healthcare system/providers perpetuate this idea that larger bodies = eating more (or too many) calories. That is hardly ever the case in my experience. In today's episode, we explore exactly WHY eating "enough" is imperative when you're looking to heal your body: and that goes for people of both smaller AND larger sizes. Without proper macro/micronutrients AND caloric intake, it'll be pretty difficult to overcome things like pain, incontinence, constipation, prolapse, etc if your body is not being fed the nutrients it needs. "Health" goes way beyond burning more calories than you take in, no matter what size/shape your body is in.

Who would've guessed that Rihanna's Super Bowl performance would have brought so many women's health issues to the forefront (and hence finally help me flesh out this topic of being "enough," something that's been brewing in my brain for almost 4 months now). The constant go-go-go coupled with societal expectations placed on women may have us feeling like we are running around constantly with no rest in sight. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels when it comes to your workouts? Like, no matter how consistent you are, not matter how much you work, you just feel like you're never getting any stronger? Back when I was a baby PT, if a new client came in and was a seasoned exerciser, I would want to poop myself because I thought that I couldn't teach them anything about exercise since they were already doing it. What I learned over the next 8 years, however, tells a different story. Whether you're new to your exercise journey or have been working out for awhile, this episode is for you! We are talking all about the 4 reasons why you might be feeling less than "strong AF," despite your best workout efforts.

If you've been on IG or TikTok over the past couple of months, you might have seen the hype videos circulating around a woman bodybuilder who was leaking on her lifts. Some used this asa way to normalize leaking with lifting, and other used it as a cautionary tale to infer that lifting "heavy" causes pelvic floor dysfunction. Both are trash takes. Today, we uncover why people are prone to leaks when navigating the weight room but ALSO why learning how to lift while keeping your core and pelvic floor in mind might actually help prevent pelvic floor dysfunction.

I'm not really a resolution type of person; instead, I like to look back at thoughts and habits that didn't serve me very well in the current year and vow to work on leaving them behind as we head into the upcoming one.

You had a baby. Or tore your ACL. Or injured your back. You still feel like a hot bag of garbage. But your MD says all imaging and labs look great and you can just ease yourself back into your "normal" activities. Except nothing about how you feel feel normal to you. You ask if there's anything else that can help. "What about PT?" you say. "Nah, IDK what they would work on since it looks like you're healing fine, you're walking fine and you're not at risk of re-injuring yourself. Just take it slow."
