#6 – Busting Myths: Harmonizing the Pelvic Floor with Kailah Macri
What if everything you thought you knew about the pelvic floor was incomplete—or just plain wrong?
In this deeply informative and empowering episode, Brien sits down with Kailah Macri, a compassionate and highly skilled physiotherapist and NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) practitioner. Kailah is here to bust the most common pelvic health myths—and help you reconnect with your body in a truly holistic way.
From breaking down the over-prescription of Kegels to understanding how breathing, posture, hydration, and even your nervous system impact pelvic floor function, Kailah helps reframe pelvic health as a whole-body issue—not just a women’s issue or something to "deal with later."
You’ll learn:
Why Kegels aren’t the magic fix—and what matters more
How hydration affects urgency, incontinence, and bladder health
Why pelvic floor issues are not just for women
The surprising role of breathing and core coordination
How to treat pelvic dysfunction without internal exams
What a real pelvic health assessment looks like
Why optimizing movement can be preventative—and transformative
Whether you're struggling with incontinence, lower back pain, pelvic pain, or simply want to feel stronger and more at ease in your body, this episode is packed with powerful insight and practical takeaways. Kailah’s expertise shines through as she explains how small shifts in awareness and movement can bring big healing.
Empowering Question of the Day:
How would your life improve if you let go of the belief that pelvic floor issues are something you just have to live with—and instead took steps toward reclaiming your independence and confidence?
