Mariana Masteling

In this episode, I chat with biomedical engineer Mariana Mastering, PhD, whose decade-long research on the pelvic floor began with an unexpected question: “Mariana, are you incontinent?” Her curiosity led her from medical school to biomechanics, where she studied intra-abdominal pressure, incontinence, and childbirth-related pelvic floor injuries. Her PhD research at the University of Michigan explores how the birth canal stretches, offering insights that could help prevent major pelvic floor injuries. Tune in for a fascinating look at the science behind pelvic health!

We Talk About:

-understanding the normal range

-translating research to practical application

-variable causes of prolapse

-kegels aren’t always the answer

-capacity demand

-trying to reduce risk of birth injuries

-understanding age and birth injuries

-biomechanics of birth
