Ep. 8: The Pelvic Floor–Reflux Connection: Why Gut Health Starts From the Bottom Up with Dr. Mukta Chauhan

Welcome back to the Reflux Revolution Podcast—your no-BS guide to managing reflux, GERD, LPR, and gut health. I’m your host, Molly Pelletier, MS, RD—registered dietitian, reflux coach, and founder of Flora Nutrition.

Today, I’m talking with Dr. Mukta Chauhan, a double board-certified physical therapist in orthopedics and women’s health. Believe it or not, your pelvic floor might be the piece you’re missing in your reflux puzzle.

If you’ve been struggling with bloating, constipation, or reflux flares that won’t quit, this episode gives you new tools and insights that might unlock relief.

🎯 What You’ll Learn in this episode:

• Why pelvic floor tension can worsen reflux by increasing pressure

• How breath, posture, and the diaphragm influence digestion

• The “soda can” concept: how tension equals reflux

• Movement and pooping mechanics that support your gut

• Breathing tools to calm the pelvic floor and your nervous system

• Gentle stretches and posture tips to reduce intra-abdominal pressure

Whether reflux labs and supplements haven’t helped, or you just feel “stuck,” this episode gives real, practical strategies to support healing.
