  • Ep. 159 Why Your Hips & Feet Could Be the Missing Link in Your Leaking
    Aug 26 2025

    If you’ve been told your leaking or pelvic floor issues are all about a “weak core,” you might be missing two critical pieces of the puzzle: your hips and your feet.

    In this episode, Dr. Ar’neka breaks down why tight hips and stiff feet can completely change the way forces travel through your body and why your pelvic floor often ends up taking the brunt of it. From shock absorption in the hips to spring-like support in the feet, these areas are more connected to your pelvic floor health than most people realize.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why “just strengthening your core” isn’t enough for pelvic floor support
    • How limited hip mobility and stiff feet create more stress for your back, core, and pelvic floor
    • A simple self-check to see if your hips and feet are moving well
    • The key difference between stretching and mobility work—and why your body needs the latter
    • Everyday movement examples (walking, lifting, rebounding) where hips and feet play a bigger role than you think


    Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation it’s part of a system. If your hips and feet aren’t doing their job, your pelvic floor will always be overloaded.

  • Ep. 158 Your Back Pain Isn't About Your Back
    Aug 19 2025

    If you’ve been foam rolling, stretching, or getting adjusted but your back pain keeps coming back you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr. Ar’neka breaks down why chasing the pain doesn’t work and why your back is often the symptom, not the cause. You’ll learn the hidden drivers of recurring low back pain and the smarter way to build lasting relief.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why back pain usually isn’t coming from the back itself
    • The three most common hidden causes:
      • Core coordination problems (bracing vs. true stability)
      • Stiff hips that force your back to move too much
      • Pelvic instability that makes your back overcompensate
    • Why adjustments, massages, and stretches only give short-term relief
    • How to check if your hips and core are actually supporting your back during movement
    • A new framework: think movement patterns, not muscles

  • Ep. 157 Why Kegels Aren't Fixing Your Leaking and What To Do Instead
    Aug 12 2025

    If you’ve been told to “just do Kegels” but you’re still leaking when you run, jump, or sneeze this episode will change everything.

    The truth is, Kegels alone aren’t the magic fix you’ve been promised. You can have a strong pelvic floor and still leak if it’s tight, uncoordinated, or overworked.

    In this episode, we break down why traditional Kegel-only approaches fall short and reveal the missing links you need for real, lasting change breath and pressure management, hip and core connection, and the ability to fully relax as well as contract.

    You’ll learn how to integrate your breath, pelvic floor, and core into everyday movement, plus how building hip and glute strength can take pressure off your pelvic floor so you can move with confidence again.

    If you’re tired of avoiding workouts, worrying about accidents, or feeling like this is “just part of getting older,” it’s time to move smarter not stop moving.
