Hey beautiful, hope you enjoy this episode of Let's Talk, Period.
Today's episode is with Dr Jessica Theron. Jessica is a GP registrar and a passionate advocate for people with chronic pelvic pain. She completed two years of working in Obstetrtics & Gynaecology and a post-graduate diploma in Obstetrics & Medical Gynaecology before moving to general practice.
She's also the founder of the Ella app, an educational 6-week pain programme for people with chronic pelvic pain. The Ella App is based on published research and teaches people how to address pain system hypersensitivity and nervous system dysregulation which are important drivers of chronic pelvic pain. They're currently doing their beta trial in Australia and New Zealand which you can find out more on here.
She's also created a community on social media for holistic, evidenced based information about chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis and you can find her @the.pelvichealth.doc on both TikTok and instagram.
We chat on:
What led Jessica to have a special interest in helping people with chronic pelvic pain

Pain system hypersensitivity and nervous system dysregulation and how they drive chronic pelvic pain
