Leaking when you laugh or run isn’t just “part of life” and neither is constipation, post-pee dribbling, or feeling like your core is weak no matter what you do.

In this episode of Everyday Ancestral, I’m joined by Dr. Kayla Borchers, a pelvic floor and nervous system expert, to break the stigma and get real about what’s actually happening in your body. We talk about why pelvic floor issues show up for both women and men, how an upregulated nervous system can keep your pelvic floor tight and overactive, and why the breath is often the missing link. Dr. Kayla walks us through diaphragmatic breathing, how the diaphragm and pelvic floor are meant to move together, and why learning to lengthen first matters before you jump into strengthening.

We also get into digestion, what your stool can tell you about stress and regulation, simple tools like abdominal massage and magnesium support, and why kegels can backfire if your pelvic floor is already stuck in a shortened position. If you want practical steps you can start today, this conversation delivers.

Watch the full episode and start supporting your body the way it was designed to work.
