In this episode, Jenn Reno shares her long journey through chronic pain, repeated injuries, surgeries, and years of searching for answers while living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and ankylosing spondylitis. After severe spinal instability, five fusions, and ongoing neck issues, Jen explains what it was like to keep pushing through symptoms that deeply affected her daily life.

What makes this conversation especially powerful is the turn toward hope. Jen shares how working with Dr. Molly Brown at Centered helped her experience meaningful relief and greater neck stability through AMIT and neuromuscular-focused care. For the first time in a long time, she began to feel more supported in her body, more functional in daily life, and more hopeful about what healing could look like.
