Aligned + Elevated with Dr. Allison Feldt

Dr. Allison Feldt sits down with Stephanie Hurst, therapist and owner of Motherhood Wellness Clinic in Bothell, for a conversation about maternal mental health that goes somewhere most of these conversations do not. Stephanie explains why her clinic is careful about handing out mental health diagnoses. A diagnosis in your record can follow you for years, affecting life insurance eligibility and whether you still qualify as a “well person” on a wellness visit. Meanwhile insurance requires a diagnosis in order to pay for care at all, and then audits providers and claws back money when it decides the diagnosis was not warranted. It is a system that quietly discourages women from getting help at the exact moment they need it. They also get into her reframe of postpartum anxiety: that it is often not a disorder but a signal. Motherhood changes your brain, your values, and your desires, and anxiety can be what happens when you keep living a life that no longer matches who you have become. Stephanie’s work is often less about treatment and more about giving women permission to step into the new version of themselves, especially when the people around them are trying to keep the old one. Also covered: a client whose anxiety resolved entirely once a food sensitivity was uncovered, why nutritional deficiencies after birth can mimic mental health symptoms, how therapy groups and sliding scale sessions widen access, why postpartum often produces the clearest vision of a woman’s life and work, what AI and chatbots will never be able to replace about human community, and Stephanie’s own journey from doula to practice owner, including hiring her first team and building a clinic where mothers genuinely want to work.

Dr. Allison Feldt sits down with her own physician, Dr. Melissa Lange, ND of Honeybee Natural Medicine, for an unusually honest conversation about GLP medications. No sales pitch, no demonization just what the data says and what actually happened.Allison shares her own experience: 90 days on a GLP, at a dose below the standard therapeutic starting point, after already losing 100 pounds without one. She felt genuinely better. Sleep improved, anxiety dropped, digestion improved, and the constant mental load of food noise finally quieted. Then her DEXA scan came back showing 10 pounds of muscle lost over the year, despite training 5 days a week and eating 180 grams of protein daily.Dr. Lange brings the clinical picture. These drugs were developed as type 2 diabetes medications, and for that population the benefits are real and well documented. But in the wider weight loss population now being marketed to, clinical and post-trial data suggests up to 40 percent of the weight lost can be muscle mass. That matters enormously for the group these drugs are most heavily marketed to: perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, who are already losing estrogen’s protective effect on bone density. Less muscle means less force pulling on bone, which accelerates the path toward osteopenia and osteoporosis.They also cover why Dr. Lange would consider a GLP for less than 1 percent of her patients, why she requires quarterly labs and body composition scans for the ones she does prescribe to, the case for microdosing below every dose used in the research, the lowest effective dose principle and the patient whose cholesterol dropped 100 points on the smallest available statin, why these should function like training wheels rather than a permanent fixture, the real benefits showing up for endometriosis and PCOS, what the newer generations actually add, and the questions nobody can answer yet about telomeres, pancreatic function, and long term use.This is a conversation, not medical advice. Nothing here is a recommendation to start, stop, or change a medication. Talk to a physician who will actually monitor you.Dr. Melissa Lange, ND

After five years, Dr. Allison Felt closed the Poulsbo location of Body Motion Physical Therapy, and she's not sugarcoating why. In this comeback episode of Aligned & Elevated, Allison opens up about the ego behind opening a second clinic, why she ignored every trusted business coach who warned her, and what it really takes to make a second location profitable. She also shares why closing felt freeing, why watching her team grow and launch their own paths is her true measure of success, and why Body Motion is now going all in on its Edmonds, WA clinic. Thinking about opening a second location? Watch this first.

Kegels, squeezing, and tightening are not what gets a baby out. Opening is. In this live birth prep class, Dr. Allison Feldt walks a room of pregnant women through what actually prepares the pelvic floor for delivery. The uterus does the pushing. Your job is to get out of its way by building a pelvic floor that can open, lengthen, and stay dynamic through labor. What she covers: Why a tight pelvic floor feels weak, not strong, and why muscles held tight for years develop the texture of beef jerky instead of a healthy, hydrated muscle. How the pubic symphysis separates 5 to 7 millimeters in pregnancy and up to 9 millimeters during delivery, and what happens when the pelvic floor clamps down to fight that. The exact diaphragmatic belly breath to practice 5 minutes a day, and why 360 rib breathing is the wrong tool for this job. How to poop, and why every bowel movement from here forward is a rehearsal for pushing. Open glottis pushing, plus the low tones (grr and moo) that open the pelvic floor, and why your neck and voice are directly connected to it. Why you should wait for deep rectal pressure before pushing, even at 10 centimeters. How to stay in the parasympathetic zone on the drive to the hospital so labor does not stall. And why former athletes, dancers, riders, and hypermobile bodies tend to have the tightest pelvic floors of all. She also shares the client who had a third degree tear, was told she should not have more children without a C-section, did the internal pelvic floor work during her next pregnancy, and ended up with an accidental home birth and no tearing at all. Plus her own story of nearly dying while pushing out her first baby, and how that became the foundation for the Body Motion birth prep protocol. Listen to your body first. These are general tools, and you are the one in the room. ==================================================================== 🙌🏼 Subscribe for more FREE tips around preconception, infertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and menopause tips on how to relieve pain and optimize your body for life and regain your strength so you can optimize your body for yourself and your family! 👋🏼 COME SAY HI! ✨ Find us online at: https://bodymotionpt.com ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bodymotionpt ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodymotionpt ✨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bodymotionpt ✨ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/bodymotionpt/ ✋🏼 CONTACT US!

Dr. Allison Feldt breaks down how scar tissue from a C-section, appendectomy, laparoscopy, gallbladder surgery, hysterectomy, ovary or cyst removal, fibroid removal, or endometriosis resection keeps hardening and bunching up long after the incision heals. That scar tissue pulls on the organs, restricts the fascia, and drags upward on the pelvic floor until all three layers feel glued together. The symptoms rarely get connected back to the surgery: excruciating ovulation or periods, bloating and constipation, urinary urgency and leaking, difficulty reaching orgasm, pain during deep intercourse that feels like something is being hit, low back and SI pain, hip pain, sciatica, and a core that will not strengthen no matter how much you work it. She walks through the appendectomy to ovary connection through the ligament of Plica, why roughly 7 percent of C-sections lead to a bowel obstruction from migrated scar tissue, and how an old appendix scar can twist the spine into scoliosis. Most importantly: it is never too late. Whether your surgery was last year or 30 years ago, that scar tissue can be released. Body Motion uses hands on pelvic floor physical therapy and visceral manipulation to get the organs moving again, plus EPAT radial pressure shockwave, EMTT, and red light therapy to break the scar tissue down.

Kenna walks through her full prep (pelvic floor PT starting at 14 weeks, internal work, acupuncture, chiropractic), how she reframed fear and pain before labor, the three spaces she set up in her home, and the coping tools that actually worked heating pad plus blanket compression, thigh shaking, horse lips, and the mantras she repeated for 14 hours. She also gets honest about what didn't go to plan: a bomb cyclone that left her without power for three days at 41 weeks, a midwife who pulled on the cord and reached for oxygen her baby didn't need, and a postpartum period harder than the birth itself. If you want a birth you choose instead of one you're handed, start here.

Once postpartum, always postpartum but recovery doesn't stop there. In this episode, Dr. Allison Feldt (pelvic floor physical therapist, owner of Body Motion Physical Therapy, and author of Restore Your Body After Kids) gets honest about why the aches show up in your late 30s and 40s even when you're doing everything right. She breaks down why most women's pelvic floors are too tight not too weak and why the Kegel-and-stim-chair marketing is actively hurting people. Plus: how a tight pelvic floor sabotages your core strength, why pelvic floor PT can spare you a hip or knee replacement, and the one non-negotiable to keep when strength training, mobility, and Pilates all fall off the table. The big takeaway: what you do for optimal health and what you do to recover from injury are the exact same thing. ==================================================================== 🙌🏼 Subscribe for more FREE tips around preconception, infertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and menopause tips on how to relieve pain and optimize your body for life and regain your strength so you can optimize your body for yourself and your family! 👋🏼 COME SAY HI! ✨ Find us online at: https://bodymotionpt.com ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bodymotionpt ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodymotionpt ✨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bodymotionpt ✨ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/bodymotionpt/ ✋🏼 CONTACT US!

Everyone tells you tearing is normal, pushing for hours is normal, and peeing your pants after birth is just part of motherhood. It isn't. In this episode, Dr. Allison Feldt pelvic floor physical therapist and owner of Body Motion Physical Therapy — breaks down what actually determines how your delivery goes. Not your workouts. Not your birth plan. How dynamic and open your pelvic floor is. Inside: why a tight pelvic floor is a weak one, how a "cemented" pelvic floor leads to forceps, vacuums, and emergency C-sections, why her clients push for under 20 minutes (even first-time moms with 10 lb babies), and the client who was told she'd never deliver vaginally again and ended up breathing her baby out at home. Plus the part nobody connects: how untreated birth trauma shows up 15 years later as back pain, hip pain, and chronic sciatica. Pregnant? Send this to a friend who is. This is the one thing you can control going into delivery. ==================================================================== 🙌🏼 Subscribe for more FREE tips around preconception, infertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and menopause tips on how to relieve pain and optimize your body for life and regain your strength so you can optimize your body for yourself and your family! 👋🏼 COME SAY HI! ✨ Find us online at: https://bodymotionpt.com ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bodymotionpt ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodymotionpt ✨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bodymotionpt ✨ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/bodymotionpt/ ✋🏼 CONTACT US!

You can eat well. You can train hard. And you can still watch the whole thing fall apart by week six. Dr. Allison Feldt lost 100 pounds and kept it off, no medications, no shortcuts, and it took four and a half years. In this episode she breaks down the three non-negotiables that actually made it stick: consistent strength training, honest nutrition, and the one most weight loss plans leave out entirely, pelvic floor physical therapy. Here's why that third one matters: when your pelvic floor and core aren't balanced, your body compensates. Compensations become hip, knee, SI, and back pain. Pain derails your workouts. And once the workouts go, everything else usually follows. Fixing the foundation is what keeps you in the game long enough for the rest to work. Plus: why building muscle is the closest thing we have to reverse aging, why you can have visible abs and still have a dysfunctional core, and what anyone on a GLP-1 needs to know about protecting muscle. ==================================================================== 🙌🏼 Subscribe for more FREE tips around preconception, infertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and menopause tips on how to relieve pain and optimize your body for life and regain your strength so you can optimize your body for yourself and your family! 👋🏼 COME SAY HI! ✨ Find us online at: https://bodymotionpt.com ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bodymotionpt ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodymotionpt ✨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bodymotionpt ✨ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/bodymotionpt/ ✋🏼 CONTACT US!

And that scar doesn't stay quiet. In this episode, Dr. Allison Feldt breaks down what nobody tells you about C-section recovery: why women show up 10, 15, even 20 years later with painful periods, heavy bleeding, chronic sciatica, and hip pain that no one connects back to their birth. You'll learn how scar tissue limits the uterus's ability to contract, why the pelvic floor overworks to cover for a cut abdominal wall, and why more Kegels are usually the wrong answer. Whether you had a C-section last month or two decades ago, your body can still heal. It just needs to be guided. ==================================================================== 🙌🏼 Subscribe for more FREE tips around preconception, infertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and menopause tips on how to relieve pain and optimize your body for life and regain your strength so you can optimize your body for yourself and your family! 👋🏼 COME SAY HI! ✨ Find us online at: https://bodymotionpt.com ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bodymotionpt ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodymotionpt ✨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bodymotionpt ✨ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/bodymotionpt/ ✋🏼 CONTACT US!
