The WHEALTHY™ Life With Rena Esposito

From "Mama Bear" to Advocate: Jamie Vandenhouten's Journey with POTS and Dysautonomia

When her daughter was diagnosed with POTS, Jamie Vandenhouten became her fierce advocate - navigating a medical system that often falls short in supporting this complex condition. What began as a mother's mission to help her child regain strength grew into a passion for supporting others with dysautonomia. In this episode, Jamie shares her daughter's incredible journey from years in a wheelchair to walking, working, and thriving – and how that inspired her to create a comprehensive program at Full Circle Physical Therapy & Wellness. We talk about exercise, nutrition, lifestyle pillars, and the importance of community for patients who often feel unseen. An inspiring conversation about resilience, advocacy, and redefining what's possible in healing.
