🎯 The Most Misunderstood Muscle Group in Fertility is Your Pelvic Floor.
Why Pelvic Health Matters Before, During & After Pregnancy

🎙️ In this empowering episode, host Gabie Peytchev sits down with Dr. Chelsea Anjieski, a licensed physical therapist specializing in women’s pelvic health, to unpack a topic that affects every stage of the fertility journey, from TTC to postpartum recovery.

From incontinence and prolapse to pain with sex and core weakness, Dr. Chelsea breaks down what’s normal, what’s not, and how your pelvic floor plays a key role in overall reproductive health.

What you'll learn:

💪 What the pelvic floor actually is and why it’s crucial for peeing, pooping, and pleasure
💪 How pregnancy, birth, and even early TTC can affect your pelvic muscles
💪 Why symptoms like leaking, pain, or pressure aren't "just part of being a mom"
💪 The #1 thing most people wait too long to do (and why early care makes all the difference)
💪 When and how to work with a pelvic floor PT and how it supports fertility & postpartum healing
💪 Myths that keep women suffering in silence and what needs to change
💪 How recovery is affected by maternity leave, policy gaps, and lack of support

✨ Plus: What you can do right now to support your pelvic health, even if you're not pregnant yet.

Whether you're TTC, newly pregnant, or deep in postpartum recovery, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and seen.
