Welcome to The Alexis Anderson Podcast — the place where we talk about the things no one wants to talk about…but absolutely need to. I’m your host, Alexis Anderson, pelvic health physiotherapist and guide for anyone navigating the messy, confusing, and often isolating world of pelvic and sexual health.


This season, we’re breaking down the myths, sharing real stories, and giving you evidence-informed, compassionate tools to understand your body and your pelvic floor. Whether you’re a patient looking for answers, a clinician wanting to better support your clients, or someone quietly struggling and unsure where to turn — you’re in the right place.


Let’s take the shame out of the conversation, bring clarity where there’s confusion, and make pelvic health feel human, hopeful, and actually talked about.
