    FTV Exercise during pregnancy and charlatans attacking C-sections

    FTV This week I am a little bit upset.

    Not about the first subject which follows a question about what type of exercise, and at which intensity, is safe to do during pregnancy. That's a great question and a doddle to answer :)

    But I'm upset about the single worst Instagram video I have seen from someone working with babies. Here it is for those of you who want to have a look.
    The Osteopath in the video is making LOADS of dumb, and I do mean idiotic, claims about the effects of a C-section on a baby's spine and it's health.
    He claims the "lumbar spine is reversed" or "missing" and that is clearly complete and utter nonsense. But the video has 400k likes and this grifter has 600k followers.

    So I go over some of the idiotic claims people make online to scare those of you wanting, or needing, a C-section into parting with your money.

    And then there's a bit of jazz to calm me down :)

    As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles!

    So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

    BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS! That's $50 max spend, in case you were wondering.

    This means you can sign up after your first child, use the program and recover and then still have access after giving birth to child 2 and 3!

    None of this "pay X amount a year" nonsense, once you've paid..you've paid!

    This makes HPNB not just the most efficient and complete post-partum recovery program, it's also BY FAR the best value.

    Above Navel diastasis, baby skin biome, hormone supplements and a better bra boosts performance!

    FTV; 
    In this week's episode I answer some of the questions that have come up this week.

    I talk about above navel diastasis and how the approach to recovery is slightly different from below navel, or completely open, DR. It's remarkably straightforward but still important to note the difference.

    I'm also talking about whether you should wash your baby with soap every day or not.

    Hormone therapies, are they an important addition to your health regime and who can you trust to provide them?

    And, finally, a study about the importance of wearing a proper bra when exercising. Seriously, get one fitted if you can afford it! The actual research article can be found here

    Q&A; Protein After Birth: How Much Is Enough? and "Does your personal trainer need to be a specialist?"

    02/22/2026 | 26 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    As it's been a while; a new Q&A!!
    This week I answer questions on protein-levels for postpartum recovery (for athletes and non-athletes) and I explain why I think most people DO NOT need a Personal Trainer that specialises/has experience with a particular condition (AFTER rehab is completed, of course, because I'm not a maniac)

    How will you know when your diastasis recti is healed?

    02/15/2026 | 34 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    I know I was supposed to put a fresh episode out this week but, as I explain in the intro, it's been a bugger of a week as my belved Yorkie suddenly took a turn for the worse and uunfortunately didn't make it.
    So, in short, I didnt feel like doing a fresh episode and will do one again next week

    From Christmas 2024!!
    I had a wonderful email from someone in Mexico asking me the, seemingly straightforward, "When will I know my diastasis is healed?" so in this episode I spend 30 minutes answering that very question.

    The issue with this question is that diastasis recti has a specific definition (one that isn't wide enough, in my opinion) and therefore quite often women get told that their diastasis is "healed" when it actually really isn't.

    And you can also have the situation where the diastasis (the gap) isn't actually much of an issue anymore but, technically, you still have it.

    So today I'm clearing it all up, whether you're an athlete or not. Whether you're into hill walking or a pro-tennis player..all will be clear :)
