Menopause Must Knows

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but many of us feel unprepared—especially for the pelvic floor changes like dryness, leakage, or prolapse that can come with it. We’re covering the essentials: hormones, hot flashes, and how pelvic floor physiotherapy can help you move through this stage with strength and ease.

The Truth About Ab Separation

Diastasis recti aka abdominal separation. It happens to almost everyone during pregnancy, yet it’s surrounded by confusion and fear.

We also discuss what recovery can look like when it continues to be an issue postpartum, when surgery might be considered, and how to approach core training with confidence

In this episode of TMI Tuesdays with Lauren & Di, we bust some of the biggest myths about sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain.

Varicose Veins on your Vulva

We discuss what causes these varicose veins, how they differ from typical leg varicosities, and why they can be more common during pregnancy. We’ll also share tips on managing the symptoms, from lifestyle changes to medical treatments, and dive into what options are available for relief.

Let's Talk About Depth Baby - The Ohnut Review

Whether you’re a pelvic health provider or someone navigating deep dyspareunia, this is a must-listen.

When Sex Hurts

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual pain and trauma, including references to birth trauma, sexual trauma, and medical experiences that may be distressing for some listeners. Please take care while listening. Painful sex, aka dyspareunia, is more common than you think. In fact, up to 35% of women will experience it at some point in their lives. But here’s the thing: most don’t talk about it. Whether it’s burning, stinging, tightness, or deep internal pain, many people feel too embarrassed or ashamed to bring it up, even with their healthcare providers. In this episode, Lauren and Di dive into why sex can hurt, what’s not normal, and what might be going on beneath the surface. From pelvic floor tension to endometriosis, birth trauma to psychological factors, we cover the many root causes, because it’s rarely “just in your head.”

Bladder Anxiety: When your bladder runs the show

Do you pee just in case before leaving the house? Always scouting out the nearest bathroom? You’re not alone. In this episode, we break down what overactive bladder (OAB) really is, why it happens, and what you can actually do about it (cutting coffee and spicy food doesn't usually do the trick!). We’ll bust common myths, share practical tips, and help you take back control, so your bladder isn’t running the show.
