Pelvic Pain during preconception and what to do about it with Dr. Alex

If you’ve ever wondered how your pelvic health might be quietly influencing your fertility, you’re going to love today’s episode. 

I’m sitting down with Dr. Alex, a pelvic floor physical therapist who’s redefining how women think about pelvic pain, tension, and conception.

You’ll discover why “tight” isn’t always strong, how simple daily practices can help release restriction in the body, and why addressing your pelvic foundation before pregnancy could be one of the smartest moves you make on your fertility journey. 

This conversation goes beyond the usual pelvic floor talk, it’s about reconnecting with your body at its core to help you get and stay pregnant.
