In this edition of Zebra Talks, Libby welcomes Blair Voyvodic, the developer of an innovative product called the Body Braid. Blair, a former physician with a background in biophysics, shares the story of his career shift from academic research to providing person-focused service, leading to his work in a small village in Canada.

Blair's work was influenced by his experience with an organization that inspired the movie 'Patch Adams', which takes an unconventional approach to healthcare. The discussion then delves into Blair's personal struggle with hypermobility and how it led to the development of the Body Braid, a product that supports connective tissue and improved proprioception, and provides relief for those with hypermobility syndromes and Ehlers Danlos. Blair shares details about the Body Braid's design, use, and its benefits, alongside his experiences with the EDS Society and its role in promoting awareness.
