374: The #1 Pelvic Floor Mistake Women Make in the Gym - and How to Fix It with Dr. Courtney Johnson, DPT

Ladies, if you lift, run, jump, or even just sneeze, this is an episode you need to hear. Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t just a postpartum or aging issue; it affects active women of all ages and often goes unaddressed…until it becomes a problem. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Courtney Johnson, DPT, aka The Female Athlete Doc, a pelvic floor physical therapist who gets the gym. She speaks the language of lifting and doesn’t believe in sidelining women from the barbell. Instead, she’s all about keeping you active, strong, and leak-free. We dig into the real function of the pelvic floor, why Kegels aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution, and how every lift is a chance to train your core and pelvic floor, if you know how to use it. You’ll walk away from this conversation feeling empowered, educated, and maybe even rethinking how you brace for your next set of squats. Ready to lift smarter (and leak less)? Let’s jump in.
