The Pelvic Floor Project
This podcast is for anyone with a pelvic floor. Pssst….. everyone has a pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles responsible for controlling our bodily functions. I refer to myself as a physiotherapist for embarrassing issues. I routinely help clients address symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain, intimacy issues and the list goes on. A theme that stands out to me is how little we learn about our private parts and the muscles surrounding. This podcast is for you if you are interested in learning more about your body. Focused on the female, I cover topics pertinent to puberty, athletics, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, menopause, surgery and so much more.I promise to share evidence based information through discussion with other health care experts in their field with the goal to showcase a holistic and empowering approach to taking care of the only body you will ever have. I hope you enjoy!

101. Understanding and treating constipation with Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Rachel Fobert
In this episode I discuss with Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Rachel Fobert:
- What defines constipation?
- What is considered ideal poop
- Signs and symptoms of constipation
- Reasons people can become constipated?
- Negative effects of constipation?
- Recommendations for softer stools
- How to get help
Dr. Rachel Fobert is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor striving to help women with digestive system issues move from being defeated, battling their body and eventually becoming their own DIY doctor to confident and no longer allowing their symptoms to hold them back. Dr. Rachel Fobert has supported hundreds of women on their journey to feeling well with a special focus in functional constipation and Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Constipation Type (IBS-C). Realizing patients were not given much advice that was actually constipation specific yet they were dreaming of a day they had a plan beyond a laxative, downing water, eating more fiber and maybe throwing in a probiotic, Dr. Rachel wanted to do better for these women. Constipation has quickly become a risk factor for developing an eating disorder simply because of the confusion women experience around the condition itself. With years of schooling on how to read the scientific research and her naturopathic medical training Dr. Rachel dove into the literature which revealed constipation requires a personalized approach as it is difficult to treat, integrative care, doctor patient teamwork and a lot more than fiber and water. Having a deep understanding of the bowels gives Dr. Rachel a unique perspective to provide patients with well rounded, evidence based care with clear expectations (no over promising and under delivering here).
