#070 : Katalin Szupkay – The pelvic floor (ENG)

In this episode of Entr’Nous, the podcast of the Love Health Center in Brussels, Olivier Mageren interviews Katalin Szupkay, co-administrator of the association and the voice of the podcast’s jingle, to explore the pelvic floor and why this little-known part of the body concerns every human being, regardless of sex or age.This complex, multi-layered system is interconnected with many aspects of our lives: posture, breath, continence, emotional life, memories, health and of course sexual experience - far beyond the common myths that limit our understanding.Together, they discuss how gentle inner work, rather than external devices or performance-oriented methods, can transform daily well-being, hormonal balance, recovery, fertility and intimate connection for all genders.Both hosts share personal experiences showing how reconnecting with this area can reshape one’s relationship with the body.Katalin also introduces the Kriston method, both individual and workshop-based training designed to develop neuromuscular awareness and deepen self-confidence at any age.An invitation for anyone curious about the pelvic floor.Imagine how much can change when we reconnect with the foundations of our own body.We wish you a great listening, and a wonderful life.You can also leave us a voice message !If you wish to react, share a question or tell us how this episode resonates with you, feel free to leave a voice message on our answering service !Your voice matters, and we’re always happy to hear from you.Episode Sequencing – The Pelvic Floor[00:00:20] Introduction to the Love Health Center & episode context[00:01:06] Setting today’s intention[00:01:28] Universal relevance of the pelvic floor[00:01:50] Basic understanding of the pelvic floor[00:03:18] Transition to misconceptions section[00:03:30] Misconception: Pelvic floor is only for women[00:04:12] Misconception: Pelvic floor is a single-layer muscle[00:06:30] Weight and support function of the pelvic floor[00:07:02] Misconception: Training = posture and squeeze[00:07:59] Link between pelvic floor, jaw, voice, expression[00:08:58] Misconception: Online “pelvic floor exercises” are incorrect[00:09:35] True pelvic floor training: map, micro-moves, relaxation[00:10:15] Misconception: Training requires weights or accessories[00:11:09] Neural development and sensory mapping[00:15:58] Recap of misconceptions (summary section)[00:17:01] Transition to advice and key principles[00:18:24] Developing the brain–pelvic floor connection[00:19:41] Role of blood circulation and hormone balance[00:21:40] Emotional dimension of pelvic floor muscles[00:22:12] Benefits of pelvic floor development[00:24:50] Personal experience: discovering the method[00:27:45] Ageing myths and the body’s adaptability[00:29:12] Muscle memory, practice and learning curve[00:31:50] Early training challenges and long-term progress[00:32:30] Introducing the pelvic floor workshop[00:32:55] Structure and origins of the Kriston method[00:35:14] Mind, belief and the “mental blind spot” concept[00:38:01] Workshop logistics and format (men/women anatomy)[00:39:11] What to expect during the workshop[00:40:00] Support for children with pee/poo regulation issues[00:41:24] Bedwetting: emotional stress and solutions[00:43:10] Advice: start today[00:43:20] Pelvic floor as a lifelong journey[00:43:58] Closing gratitude and acknowledgments
