326: Why Kegels Aren't Important: The Truth About Pelvic Floor Therapy for Women with Megan Zimmerman

Let’s get real—sneezing, laughing, or jumping on a trampoline shouldn’t feel like a high-stakes gamble. Yet here we are, clenching and hoping for the best. But guess what? You don’t have to live like this! Pelvic floor therapy is the ultimate game-changer, and spoiler alert: it’s not just about squeezing like you’re trying to crush walnuts (seriously, stop doing that).

In this episode, we’re chatting Megan Zimmerman, PT, DPT, PCES. She's a pelvic floor physical therapist that specializes in pregnancy, postpartum, and women's pelvic floor concerns. She has a 12 week online pelvic floor program for women outside of the Phoenix area and ahe's helping us bust the myth that Kegels are the cure-all for pelvic health. Turns out, there’s a lot more to it—like posture tweaks, proper breathing (without looking like you’re hyperventilating), and exercises that actually work.

So whether you had a baby five weeks ago or five decades ago, it’s time to ditch the leaks, embrace your pelvic floor, and laugh without fear. Ready to feel like the boss you are? Press play and take the first step to reclaiming your confidence—one giggle-free sneeze at a time!
