In this episode of the Hera Health Hub Podcast, we’re joined by Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Exercise Scientist, Pilates instructor, and mum, Tanisha from Tanisha’s Exercise Physiology.
Tanisha is passionate about helping women feel strong, confident, and supported in their bodies, especially when navigating challenges like pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, urinary leakage during exercise, hypermobility, and low bone density. Her approach focuses on building strength, confidence, and a positive relationship with movement, rather than fear or restriction.
We dive into how women can safely return to exercise during pregnancy and postpartum, how to manage common pelvic health concerns, and the important role exercise plays not only in recovery but also in long-term health and strength. Tanisha also shares practical, realistic tips to help busy women incorporate movement into their daily lives without feeling overwhelmed.
Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, managing a pelvic health concern, or simply wanting to feel stronger and more confident in your body, this episode is packed with practical advice and empowering insights to support you on your journey.

The pressure to follow the “perfect” fertility diet has never been stronger. With so much information & misinformation online, it’s easy to feel as though every food choice carries weight when you’re trying to conceive.
In this episode, we explore the impact of restrictive food rules and why striving for perfection may not be the most supportive approach for your fertility or your mindset. We discuss what actually matters when it comes to evidence-based fertility nutrition, including key foundations that support egg and sperm health, inflammation, hormone health and overall wellbeing.
Rather than focusing on elimination and rigid food rules, this conversation centres on sustainable, realistic strategies that nourish the body while reducing unnecessary stress. Fertility nutrition should feel empowering, not overwhelming.

In this episode, Elise breaks down the 2026 infant feeding and food allergy prevention updates from ASCIA and what they mean for families. She revisits what hasn’t changed, clarifies what has, and provides practical guidance on how and when to introduce common allergens with confidence.
