If you’ve ever felt bloated, constipated, or like your digestion is off — and at the same time noticed more pelvic pressure, leaking, or discomfort… this is not a coincidence.
Your gut and pelvic floor are deeply connected.
And for many women, ongoing digestive issues like constipation, straining, or chronic bloating can quietly contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction, core weakness, and symptoms that don’t seem to fully resolve.
In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down how your digestion impacts your pelvic floor, why straining and pressure matter more than you think, and what simple shifts can help support both systems so your body can function — and feel — better.
If you’ve been focusing only on exercises but still feel stuck, this conversation may help you uncover one of the missing pieces.
In This Episode, We Explore:
The connection between your gut, core, and pelvic floor
Why constipation is one of the biggest stressors on the pelvic floor
How bloating and pressure can contribute to symptoms like heaviness and leaking
Everyday habits that may be making things worse without you realizing it
Simple ways to support digestion and reduce strain on your body
Why This Matters
You can’t fully heal your pelvic floor if your system is constantly under pressure.
Addressing digestion, breath, and daily habits is often the key to reducing symptoms and building true, lasting strength.
This is also a big part of what we focus on inside RESTORE, where we take a whole-body approach to rebuilding your core and pelvic floor so you’re not just treating symptoms — you’re addressing the root.
