    BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 272: The Core Conversation Nobody is Having

    In this BIRTHFIT Certification Masterclass, Dr. Lindsey Mathews Cantu, DC, strength coach, and semi-retired doula, dives deep into the foundations of core and pelvic floor health through the lens of the BIRTHFIT Core System. Learn why the core is much more than a group of muscles—it is a dynamic pressure management system that relies on proper breathing, nervous system regulation, movement, and overall health. Lindsey breaks down common misconceptions surrounding core training, including the popular "suck your belly button in" cue, and explains how chronic inflammation, gut health, nutrition, and circadian rhythm can directly impact core function and recovery. In this masterclass, you'll discover: • The BIRTHFIT Core System framework • Why breathing is the foundation of all core work • Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) principles from the Prague School of Rehabilitation • The connection between the nervous system, core function, and pelvic floor health • How developmental movement patterns influence lifelong movement quality • The role of circadian rhythm in maternal health and labor • Practical diaphragmatic breathing techniques The session concludes with a live consultation on SI joint dysfunction, exercise recommendations, and audience Q&A, including discussion around rib flare and core rehabilitation.
