The Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor Podcast
The Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor podcast is hosted by Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist and founder of Box Wellness Co., Aliya Dhalla (B.Sc, MPT). You'll learn all the things you should know about your pelvic health - from leaks, painful intimacy, constipation, periods, pelvic pain, prolapse, preparing for birth, postpartum recovery, menopause and so much more. Nothing is taboo on the Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor podcast.
Solo episodes are educational - Aliya explains why things go "wrong" with our pelvic health and what to do about it. Guest episodes reveal what we as women were told about our bodies growing up, where we learned about puberty, sex, and menopause, and how those early conversations shaped how we navigate our pelvic health as adults.
New episodes every Wednesday.

Episode 83: The Truth About Cycle Syncing And Exercise
If you've ever felt confused by what you're seeing online when it comes to cycle syncing, cardio exercise, strength training, and when to time your meals around exercise, you're not alone. It's really hard to separate the social media "Wellness Girlies" from what the science is actually telling us about our menstrual cycles, hormones, the "best" cardio exercise, and nutrition needs as females who are active.
In Episode 83 of the Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor Podcast, Aliya goes on a little bit of a rant about harmful misinformation online that is causing so much confusion about exercise + training as a female. She points out what the science actually is telling us and shares some places you can go to learn from actual researchers and scientists. If you consume any content online about wellness, this is a really important episode to listen to.
Accounts to follow to learn what the science is telling us:
@doclyssfitness Alyssa Olenick PhD in Exercise, Metabolism, Female Physiology.
@mackinprof Stuart Phillips, Prof and Researcher at McMaster University - lifting, protein, aging, supplements, exercise.
@drlaurencs1 Lauren Colenso-Semple PhD, Scientist, Expert in female physiology and muscle.
@drjengunter OBGYN, misinformation-buster.
