Pelvic floor health.
It’s something we don’t talk about very often, but the truth is that it’s more important than we might think.

Peeing when you laugh, painful sex, or even having a little pot belly can all possible symptoms of a less than ideal pelvic floor situation.
Today we chatted to Lulu (Jay) Becker. She’s a women’s health physiotherapist and she sheds light on the importance of taking care of your pelvic floor. We learned so much and this episode is PACKED with super practical tips for a healthy pelvic floor.
If you suffer from any of the symptoms discussed in this episode please see a physio specialising in women’s health for individualised treatment.

Ortho-what?

Today Max chats to Ade van Heerden (Miss South Africa 2017 and medical doctor) about her struggle with a little-known eating disorder called Orthorexia.
