A pregnant lioness still hunts. A humpback whale migrates 100 miles a day while pregnant.

And we tell human women to avoid lifting the laundry basket.

The research on exercise during pregnancy is clear — and most women never hear it:
✅ Reduces risk of gestational diabetes
✅ Lowers preterm labour risk
✅ Supports healthy birth weight
✅ Protects pelvic floor function
✅ Reduces back pain, swelling, and mood changes
✅ Prepares your body for the physical work of labour

None of that comes from staying still.

Does this mean ignoring exhaustion? No. First-trimester fatigue is real. Pain is a signal. Rest matters too — but rest because YOUR body asked for it, not because culture told you pregnancy is fragile.

The goal isn’t “get through pregnancy.” It’s arrive at birth strong.

Comment MOVE and I’ll DM you our free pregnancy movement guide. And when you’re ready to get personalized support — our pelvic health PTs at Blueberry Therapy are here. Link in bio to book.

You had a C section so your pelvic floor is fine, right?

Wrong. And this myth is one of the biggest reasons postpartum parents aren’t getting the support they need after cesarean birth.

In this episode I sit down with registered massage therapist Nicole Nifo, who just joined the Blueberry Therapy team, and we are going deep on C section recovery.

Here’s what we cover 👇
🫐 What’s actually being cut during a cesarean
🫐 Why your C section scar can affect your pelvic floor, core and even your continence
🫐 How the Dolphin Neurostim works to release scar tissue restrictions, even on scars that are decades old

Nicole had three C sections herself, including an emergency cesarean where her uterus tore during the procedure. She knows this work from the inside out.

Literally.

One thing she said that really stuck with me: when you leave the hospital after a cesarean, you’re given a list of what NOT to do. Not much guidance on what you CAN do. That gap in care is exactly why this work matters.

Whether your C section was recent or years ago, there are things you can do right now to reconnect with your body and start healing.

Pelvic floor therapy for trans and gender-diverse people — here's what you need to know. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Nearly half of trans Canadians report experiencing discrimination in healthcare. For a population that already has to fight to be seen, heard, and treated with basic dignity — pelvic health care can feel especially daunting.

Trans and gender-diverse people experience pelvic floor dysfunction. Binding, tucking, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming surgeries can all affect your pelvic floor muscles, your bladder, your bowel, and your s*xual function. And you deserve practitioners who understand that.

At Blueberry Therapy, we have team members with specific training in gender-affirming pelvic health care. We use your correct name and pronouns, we explain everything before we do it, and we never make assumptions about your body or your goals.

Visibility without access is just performance. We'd rather show up with real care that fits your body.

POV: You walk into a physio clinic and there’s a vi****or on the shelf. 👀
Don’t worry. We can explain.

At Blueberry Therapy, we do pelvic health differently: ✔️
Squatty Potty in the bathroom — non-negotiable
✔️ Soft blankets because crinkly paper is cancelled
✔️ Pelvis models absolutely everywhere
✔️ A nursing corner for new mamas
✔️ A massive room for real movement assessment
✔️ Sexual wellness tools — prescribed with a straight face
✔️ Curated products for real pelvic conditions

This is what pelvic health care is supposed to feel like.
Surprised? Good. Now book an appointment. 😏

Drop a 🫐 if any of this surprised you — and comment CLINIC if you want to know what a first appointment actually looks like. I’ll DM you everything.

Raise your hand if you’ve been told to stop lifting because of prolapse or leaking. 🙋

Here’s what you actually need to know: sitting in a chair and coughing generates as much intra abdominal pressure as lifting a weight. No doctor has ever told you to stop sitting in chairs.

I sat down with Chloe Lewis, a women’s health physiotherapist and PhD researcher from the UK, and she completely reframed how we need to think about menopause, resistance training, and pelvic health.

Some of what we got into 👇
🔹 The biggest barriers keeping women from lifting and how to move past them
🔹 A four exercise starter program anyone can do at home
🔹 Why “menopause specific” workout programs are often just marketing
🔹 The new ACSM guidelines that finally lower the bar to entry for resistance training

Chloe runs strength training classes for menopausal women using kettlebells in a doctor’s waiting room. By week six, those same women who thought they’d never figure out a deadlift are flying through the exercises without thinking twice. That confidence shift is everything.

And the concept I can’t stop thinking about: strength is rented. You can’t buy it. You have to keep showing up for it. Consistently. For life.

Come find us. Ask the questions you've been sitting on. Leave with real information.

Comment 2026 and I’ll send you the link to register. Only 50 seats left.

I spent months building this speaker lineup and I still can’t believe they’re all going to be in the same room.

A globally recognized s*xologist who’s been on The Today Show. A family physician who spent 9 years as CTV’s health expert. A menopause oncology specialist who wrote the SOGC guidelines. A dual board-certified PT in women’s health AND oncology. A registered psychotherapist and AASECT certified s*x therapist. A naturopathic doctor originally trained in radiation therapy. A registered dietitian connecting pain, pleasure, and the gut-brain connection. And a breast cancer survivor sharing what it’s actually like when nobody on your healthcare team talks about intimacy.

8 experts. One day. The education that should have existed a long time ago.

The Pleasure Principle 2026 is a full-day conference for healthcare professionals who are ready to close the gap in perimenopause, menopause, and cancer survivorship s*xual health.

Last year we sold out all 200 seats with a waitlist. 96% of attendees said they’d come back. And this year? We’re down to our final 50 seats.

Morning: Cancer survivors and s*xual health — from the evidence-based approach to menopausal hormone therapy in survivorship, to whole-body s*xual rehab beyond the pelvic floor, to reclaiming bodily autonomy through treatment.

Afternoon: Lifestyle factors in perimenopause and menopause — primary care integration, the gut-brain connection to pain and pleasure, and navigating desire through life’s biggest transitions.

Menopause and s*xual health belong in primary care — and this doctor is making it happen.

Most patients going through perimenopause or menopause are sitting in their family doctor’s office hoping someone will bring up the changes happening to their bodies, their desire, their s*x lives.

Most of the time? Nobody does.

Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe is the physician who actually starts that conversation.

With 20+ years in family medicine, 9 years as the health expert on CTV’s The Social, and her role as Medical Director of Primary Care Outreach at Women’s College Hospital, Dr. Sheila has spent her career translating complex health topics into real, accessible conversations — especially the ones most providers avoid.

She’s a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, Globe and Mail contributor, and co-host of The Doc Talk Podcast. She doesn’t just talk about menopause care, she’s reshaping what it looks like in everyday practice.

At The Pleasure Principle 2026, she’s presenting:
🩺 “The Primary Care Perspective: Integrating Menopause & Sexual Health into Everyday Practice”

This session is your blueprint for making menopause and s*xual health a standard part of every appointment and not an afterthought patients have to fight for.

Most women managing prolapse are told to do Kegels and get on with it. That’s not a management plan — it’s a dismissal.

This is the final post in our Things You Learn in Health Class prolapse series. We’ve covered causes and pessaries as internal support. Today is the external piece: why compression garments belong in a conservative management plan.

Prolapse symptoms are positional. They accumulate with gravity, load, and time on your feet. By late afternoon, a pelvic floor that’s been compensating all day is fatigued — and that heavy, “something is falling out” feeling peaks. External compression reduces what your pelvic floor is working against. That’s not a workaround. That’s smart load management.

SRC Health garments are designed specifically for pelvic support. We stock them at blueberrytherapyshop.ca because they’re what we recommend in clinic.

Comment “SRC” and we’ll help you find the right style for your symptoms and activity level.

Your postpartum body does not need to be fixed. It needs to be heard.

Michelle Gauvreau of The Michelle Method had her second baby at 41, after a double surgery at 36 weeks, and recovered faster than she did at 30. Not because she is superhuman. Because she did the work differently this time.

In our conversation, she said something that I want every postpartum person to hear:
Shut off the noise. Honor what your body just did.

We covered so much in this episode:
∙ Why the 12 week return-to-exercise timeline is more nuanced than you think
∙ What postpartum nutrition actually looks like when healing is the goal
∙ The C-section overhang and why pelvic floor physio (not a tummy tuck) is the answer

The bounce back culture is real and it is doing damage. Your body ran a marathon for 9 months. It deserves more than a 6 week clearance and a wish of good luck.
