Your Pelvic Floor: Kegels, Squats, and How to Use The Pot

In this episode, we're going to explore your pelvic floor! Guest Angela Garbes, author of "Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy" delves into why your pelvic floor deserves respect, and provides a feminist perspective on how society views this part of women's bodies. Physical therapist Katie Lyttle then helps answer your specific questions about pelvic floor health and problems: "Do Kegels really work?"  "Do men have pelvic floors?" "Why am I leaking pee after I had a baby?" and explains why the way you're pooping is wrong. Don't worry: she also explains her recommended pooping technique, and how it can improve your pelvic floor's strength and function.
