A unique health and fitness podcast with a true crime spin. Together, we’ll uncover the evidence, expose the toxic norms, and create lasting change to reclaim our health, strength, and identity. Crimes like diet culture, self-sacrifice, and the pressure to 'do it all' that society keeps pushing on women everywhere.
Through a mixture of storytelling, thoughtful conversation, and a bit of laughter, we bring to light things that hold us back and provide useful information to implement to build a health and fitness routine that fits your life!
Get Stronger with Pelvic Floor Therapy: An Interview with Dr. Julie Aviles
In this episode, Andi and Mandy interview Dr. Julie Aviles, a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, and Crossfit athlete. Starting with her own journey where addressing her pelvic floor issues not only increased her max squat, it led her down a path to specialize in women's health.
We talk about returning to running and training after pregnancy, and discuss how urinary incontinence in moms is NOT normal and how just a few minutes per day can reap BIG benefits!
We also discuss the interconnection of mental, physical, and nutritional health - they're all needed!
