In this episode, Jacqueline sits down with Carine Carmy, Co-Founder and CEO of Origin, to break down the taboos surrounding pelvic floor health. After suffering from 10 years of chronic pelvic pain that was resolved in just two months through pelvic floor physical therapy, Carine dedicated her life to changing the standard of American healthcare. Today, Origin serves 10,000 individuals a month, combining physical techniques with brain-body retraining to provide accessible, insurance-covered care across the United States. Tune in to discover why pelvic floor health is the center of your body's universe, how it impacts every stage of life, and why it is time to shift the conversation from pain to pleasure. Welcome to MENO with Jacqueline Buckingham, the authority on menopause, perimenopause, and the entire pause spectrum. IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER: ➡️ Carine's Personal Journey: How 10 years of unexplained pelvic pain and painful sex was completely resolved in just two months of pelvic floor therapy, inspiring the creation of Origin. ➡️ The Importance of the Pelvic Floor: Why this overlooked part of the anatomy is literally the center of the body's universe—responsible for sexual function, supporting organs, blood circulation, and bladder/bowel function. ➡️ The Brain-Body Connection: How the nervous system can get stuck anticipating pain, and the non-invasive techniques—such as somatic body awareness and dilators—used to break the fear-response cycle. ➡️ Shifting the Narrative from Pain to Pleasure: The challenges of navigating digital censorship around sexual health, and the mission to empower individuals to feel good in their bodies rather than just achieving a baseline of zero pain. ➡️ Pelvic Health Through All Stages of Life: How pelvic floor dysfunction impacts everyone from teenage athletes experiencing bladder leakage to individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause. ➡️ Expanding Access to Care: Origin's success in building a training program for the next generation of physical therapists, providing virtual care across all 50 states, and partnering with insurance companies to make pelvic healthcare a standard benefit rather than a luxury good.
