Katie: Hi and welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast, where I provide simple answers for healthier families.
A random fact for your day. Did you know that researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine used FMRI machines to monitor brain activity while women and men listened to a passage from a novel? While most of the men showed activity exclusively on the left side of their brain, which is typically associated with listening and speech, most of the women showed additional activity on the right side of their brain, which is usually associated with creativity and expressiveness. So this could be why women are usually credited with hearing what\\u2019s left unsaid in the conversation, and it also speaks to the very vast difference between men and women on a lot of things. With today\\u2019s guest, we\\u2019re actually going to be touching on the difference between men and women when it comes especially to movement and fitness and health. I couldn\\u2019t be more excited. Brianne Grogan is a doctor of physical therapy, with a specialist in women\\u2019s health. She writes at Femfusionfitness.com and had a program designed especially for women to learn how to move their bodies correctly for optimal health. She\\u2019s reversed her own IBS and anxiety, and she\\u2019s just such an inspiration all the way around.
Thanks so much for being here, Brianne.

Brianne: Oh, thank you, Katie. I\\u2019m so excited to be here. I\\u2019ve been a fan of yours for years. So it\\u2019s fun to be on your podcast.

Katie: Oh, and ditto. I\\u2019ve been your fan for a long time too.

Brianne: Aw.

Katie: Well, to jump right in,
