    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.

    In this episode of the BIRTHFIT Podcast, Lindsey sits down with Alyssa Seeland, founder and CEO of Fond Bone Broth, to explore the intersection of motherhood, nourishment, and entrepreneurship. Alyssa shares the story behind her six natural births and how her personal experiences with pregnancy, healing, and ancestral nutrition ultimately led to the creation of her bone broth company. From delivering babies in a Texas birth center and at home, to navigating the demands of pregnancy while building a national food brand, Alyssa offers a powerful perspective on trusting the body, building resilience, and choosing a path that often runs counter to modern culture. The conversation also dives into Alyssa's entrepreneurial journey—how a small farmers market product grew into a nationally distributed regenerative bone broth brand, now found on shelves across the country. Along the way, she opens up about the challenges she faced, including regulatory battles, legal disputes with major food companies, and a devastating warehouse fire during her sixth pregnancy. Through it all, Alyssa shares the lessons she's learned about nourishment, movement, chiropractic care, and the importance of surrounding yourself with a supportive community during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. This episode is a reminder that whether you're building a family, building a business, or both—strength often comes from the most unexpected seasons.  In This Episode We Cover: - Alyssa's journey through six natural births and how each experience shaped her perspective on motherhood - Finding supportive birth environments and making countercultural choices in childbirth - The role of nutrition, movement, and chiropractic care during pregnancy and postpartum - How ancestral foods—especially bone broth—support healing and recovery - The origin story of Fond Bone Broth and its growth from farmers markets to national retailers - Navigating legal challenges, regulatory hurdles, and a warehouse fire during pregnancy - The importance of community, resilience, and trusting your instincts as a mother and entrepreneur - Encouragement for women choosing a more intentional path through pregnancy, birth, and self-care Visit the website: https://fondregenerative.com Be sure to join our BIRTHFIT Community: https://birthfit.com/birthfit-membership
