Welcome to Episode 8 of Beyond Your Bits — exploring the connection between pelvic health, hypermobility, pain, movement, hormones, and the whole human behind the symptoms.

Hosted with a focus on honest conversations and practical, evidence-informed information, Beyond Your Bits dives into the topics that can be difficult, confusing, or simply not talked about enough.

In this episode, Jaime explores what happens when your body doesn’t quite fit the textbook — including hypermobility, pelvic floor dysfunction, persistent pain, bladder and bowel symptoms, sexual health, and the complex relationship between the nervous system, connective tissue and pelvic health.

Whether you’re living with symptoms, supporting someone who is, or are a health professional wanting to understand more, this podcast is about looking beyond your bits to understand the bigger picture.
