Hello & Welcome To This Week's Episode!
In this week's podcast I'm sharing the audio from a presentation I did recently for my new course 'Female Sexual Health, Contraception & Fertility'
If you're working with people with pelvic health issues, whether that's pelvic pain, sexual pain or dysfunction, a history of trauma or violence, or going through fertility difficulties...then we need to provide a trauma informed approach for everyone that we are encountering, one that's consistent and evidence based
I wanted to share this information outside of the course as I think this is an important conversation for everyone working in pelvic health to have.
The references for the studies & research that are mentioned are in the new course, Female Sexual Health, Contraception & Fertility, which is on pre-sale now (for the lowest price it will ever be!) It will go to full price on November 20th, when Module 1 on sexual health goes live; Module 2 goes live on November 27th, on Sexual Health in Pregnancy, Postpartum, Menopause, Hysterectomy & for Cancer Survivors, along with an overview of contraceptive methods, and Module 3 goes live Dec 5, and that will cover Menstrual Cycle tracking, Barriers to Fertility, including STI's, End, REDs, Fibroids & PCOS, Pelvic Rehab & Lifestyle Strategies for Fertility and a Resource Section that includes setting up BioPsychoSocial Sex Ed classes.
You can find all the details and sign up at pre-sale special pricing HERE
and don't forget...make sure you're following me for details of my Black Friday sale - I'll be doing things a little differently this year! Stay tuned for all the details on my Instagram @michellelyons_muliebrity

Research Nerd Alert!
This is an overview of our current understanding of what central sensitisation (aka nociplastic pain) is and how it impacts pelvic pain syndromes and of course...what we are goibg to do about it!
Some great research around this topic has emerged over the past couple of years, with a growing understanding of why just focusing on the issues in the tissues is not enough and how we can incorporate lifestyle strategies such as sleep, nutrition and physical activity into our anti-inflammatory treatment toolbox
So although this review is very evidence based for the first part, I do explore why this means when we are working with real life people - why and how to screen for CS and what steps we can take to get better outcomes - ultimately to help women with persistent pelvic pain live well!
If you are in my online course, Female Pelvic Pain Rehab, the video with all the references will be uploaded tomorrow; I will also be posting this as bonus content in my upcoming course Female Sexual Health, Fertility & Contraception, which goes live on November 25th - but its on pre-sale now!
All the details of all the online courses are HERE!
As always, thanks for listening & needing out with me - I'd love it if you could rate, review and subscribe so we can keep spreading the word about evidence based women's health!

Welcome to this week's episode, where we're starting to look at preparing for the upcoming festive season - full of stress, different eating, sleeping and travel planning - the perfect recipe for stress, unregulated nervous systems, digestive systems and pelvic floor dysfunction! All this month, we're going to look at the evidence for multimodal pelvic rehab & lifestyle strategies for pain & digestive distress.
Let's start the conversation with Inflammatory Bowel Disease - including Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis - how does it impact female pelvic health, from sexual health, contraception choices, fertility, pregnancy & postpartum recovery?
There's a significant (and growing!) body of evidence to support the role of a biopsychosocial pelvic rehab approach to helping women with IBD live well
Did you know:
The problem might be that gastroenterologists don't know you can help! All the research, especially around sexual health and pelvic floor dysfunction emphasises the need for a multimodal pelvic rehab approach as part of an inter-disciplinary approach to improving quality of life for women with IBD
Want to take an even deeper dive into Bowel Health during the perinatal year? I've added a bonus module to my online course, Bowel Health & Women's Health, looking at bowel function in the perinatal year, from the influence of IBS and IBD, but also fissures, haemorrhoids, OASI, anal continence and more...
Stay tuned as we look at other strategies for pain and stress management and digestive health throughout the leadup to the festive season (seriously, how can it be November already?!)
Thanks for being here and if you can, I'd love it if you can rate, review and subscribe to the podcast - and be sure you're following me on Instagram @michellelyons_muliebrity for all the latest in women's health

October is awareness month for both Menopause & Breast Cancer, and one area of overlap between these two issues is that of musculoskeletal health
Sometimes, when we think about musculoskeletal health at menopause, we might immediately think of osteoporosis. Although that's a really important issues, and one I'll be addressing in upcoming episodes, for today I want to talk about muscle & joint pain at menopause
Musculoskeletal dysfunction affects between 70 and 80% of women going through peri to post menopause, with 25% of women having severe symptoms, including rotator cuff dysfunction or gluteal tendinopathy (which affects 1 in 4 women in their 50's and is often misdiagnosed as hip arthritis)
In today's episode, I'll discuss the latest research around why this happens (spoilers: oestrogen, inflammation & sleep disruption) and of course the evidence based strategies that we can use to help women live well before, during & after menopause, and (of course!) where pelvic health at menopause fits into the discussion!
If you'd like to learn more, there's a whole module on Menopausal health, including lifestyle, nutrition, sleep and physical activity, in my online course 'Female Hormonal Health Masterclass' which you can find here, alongside my other online courses. You can find & follow my continuing adventure in needing out on women's health research & education on Instagram @michellelyons_muliebrity

Welcome to the latest episode of the Celebrate Muliebrity podcast!
In today's episode I have the pleasure of chatting with Surabhi Veitch, an amazing physiotherapist from Toronto
(Before I tell you what we talked about - please note I had an equipment malfunction about 18 minutes in - it gets scratchy just on my end for approx 60 seconds then settles down - if it was just a solo episode I would have redone it but Surabhi gave so many clinical pearls I had to share this!
we talked about:
and so much more! Surabhi shared so much of her own journey which is why she is an amazing communicator and clinician - if you're not already, please follow her on instagram as @thepassionatephysio
Want to learn more about sexual health? There's a whole section on sexual health at menopause in my online Female Hormonal Health Masterclass but also...in November, I'll be releasing my new online course, Female Sexual Health, Contraception & Fertility (it is on pre-sale now and goes to regular pricing when it goes live in November - here's the link where you can find info on all my online courses!
Until next time, take care and don't forget to #celebratemuliebrity Mx

Hello and welcome to this week's episode where I'm sharing my top 5 non-hormonal approaches for pelvic health at Menopause.
GSM or Geniturinary Syndrome of Menopause covers the pelvic health changes we see as oestrogen levels decline and includes such issues as overactive bladder, continence, VV dryness/ irritation and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.
Although topical hormonal therapies such as oestrogen or dhea can be great - not every woman wants to or can use them - I wanted to share the latest evidence to support the evidence for non-hormonal approaches that I cam across as I was updating the Menopause module.
All of the options I discuss can be used alongside hormonal therapy or instead of it - I'm not a prescriber of pharmaceuticals so while I am a big fan of hormonal therapies, at the right time for the right person at the correct dosage - I feel that these non-hormonal strategies are effective & evidence based too.
The brand new/ update/ expanded section on pelvic health at Menopause is now available in the Menopause Module of the online Female Hormonal Health Masterclass - if you're already enrolled, it's in the course portal. If you haven't signed up yet - HURRY UP! You only have until the end of this month to get this 3 in 1 course bundle (menstrual, maternal & menopausal health) - if you're already part of the course cohort, don't worry, you'll still retain evergreen access, which you might need because this course bundle is big!

Until next time! Onwards & Upwards, Mx
Hello everyone and welcome to today’s episode where I had the pleasure of discussing what’s new in pelvic rehab when it comes to Menopause, Cancer & Pelvic Pain.
September is actually awareness month for those three (big!) topics so I was excited to chat with Elise Fraser from the University of Melbourne about the new & exciting research showing the benefits of physio in each of these (sometimes overlapping) spheres
👏👏👏
In this chat, some of the things we discussed:
👉 the variety of symptoms, including pelvic & musculoskeletal, that women experience at menopause and why we need to be there with them, whether/not they’re using hormone therapy
👉 the benefits and dangers of pain neuroscience education in both pelvic pain and menopause
👉 what women want to know about pelvic health challenges during / after cancer treatment, especially breast & gynae cancers (more on this in upcoming podcasts!)
👉 the latest evidence supporting a multimodal physio approach for the management of female pelvic pain (Starzec-Proserpio et al 2024)
💥 💥 💥
This coming week I’ll be uploading a brand new/ updated/ expanded section on pelvic health & rehab at menopause to my online Female Hormonal Health Masterclass - if you’ve already signed up, you’ll see it in your course…and if you haven’t, HURRY UP!! You only have until the end of this month (Sept) to enroll and get evergreen access to the 3 modules: Menstrual, Maternal and Menopausal Health
You can find all the course info at CelebrateMuliebrity.com or in the link on my Instagram michellelyons_muliebrity
You can find Elise on Instagram as @elise_fraser_physio and you’ll see the research we talked about on her Instagram feed
Until next time, Onwards & Upwards! Mx #celebratemuliebrity
