The Truth About Pelvic Floor Health: Healing Dysfunction Through the Power of the Sniff, Unclenching Your Butt, and Re-Toilet Training with Dr. Nicole Fleischmann Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

In this mind-blowing episode, we’re joined by Dr. Nicole Fleishmann, a leading urogynecologist and women’s health advocate with over 25 years of experience. Dr. Fleishmann is the author of The Second Mouth: One Woman's Journey to Decode a Hidden Language for a New Era of Women’s Health, where she challenges misconceptions and empowers women to reclaim control of their bodies. Dr. Fleishmann reveals groundbreaking concepts, like the idea that we have two mouths—yes, you read that right! We dive deep into the importance of the pelvic floor, how we’ve been poorly "toilet-trained," and why it’s impacting our health. We also unpack the link between nasal breathing and pelvic health, the connection between constipation and pelvic floor dysfunction, and the power of the "sniff" in improving our breathing. Plus, we explore incontinence (and how to prevent it!), why butt clenching is a bad habit, and the truth about kegels. With her refreshing approach to healing through body awareness and intentional movement, Dr. Fleishmann offers a non-invasive path to better health. Her energy is contagious, and this conversation left us wanting more—so much so that we’ve already asked her to come back for part two! Don’t miss this episode of GUT TALK.
