Should we be anti-Kegel?  Has the pendulum swung too far?


We brought on the one and only Michelle Lyons to continue the conversation.  It deserved a Part 3, and there's no one else we'd rather deep dive into the topic with than Michelle.  We cover:

  • Why Kegels and pelvic floor muscle training are NOT the same thing 

  •  The history of Dr. Kegel (and why we may have misunderstood him) 

  •  Why pelvic floor rehab is far more sophisticated than "squeeze and lift" 

  •  The role of strength, timing, coordination, endurance, and movement 

  •  Why social media has made this debate more confusing 

  •  How to become a more evidence-informed clinician 


If you've followed Parts 1 and 2 of the Great Kegel Debate, this episode brings everything together with one of the sharpest minds in pelvic health.
