This week on the BioJam Podcast, Jess and Sam break down a brand-new research paper exploring exercise snacks — short, bite-sized bouts of movement sprinkled throughout your day.

We dive into:

• What exercise snacks actually are

• The science behind them and do they work?

• How they compare to traditional workouts and physical activity guidelines

• Practical ways to use them

• Why this research matters for busy humans and clinicians

As always, we translate the evidence into simple, real-world strategies you can start using today.

Grab a coffee… and maybe an exercise snack while you listen 😉

Follow, rate, and share the episode with someone who needs a little movement motivation today. Your support helps BioJam grow!

🎙️ Episode 9: Endometriosis & Exercise – Jess’s Journey

In this episode, Jess opens up about her personal journey with endometriosis — from diagnosis and symptoms to how her relationship with movement and exercise has evolved along the way.

We chat about the ups and downs of living (and working) with a chronic condition, the role of exercise in managing endo, and what it means to listen to your body without letting it define you.

Whether you’re navigating endometriosis yourself, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the connection between movement and chronic pain — this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in and let’s keep advocating together

🥊 Welcome to the ring!

In this episode of the BioJam Podcast, Jess (physiotherapist) and Sam (exercise physiologist) step into the metaphorical boxing ring to break down the key differences — and surprising similarities — between physiotherapy and exercise physiology.

👊 Who prescribes what?🤕 Can both manage injuries and chronic conditions?📚 What do the guidelines say, and how do they help us work better together?

Expect some friendly jabs, evidence-backed takes, and plenty of laughs as we tackle the myths and mashups of these two allied health professions. Whether you're a fellow clinician or someone just trying to work out who you should book in with — this one's for you.

🧠 Spoiler alert: It’s less about turf wars and more about teamwork.
