Welcome to the Lost and Found Wellness Podcast. I've always felt that being lost was the problem. Everyone knows their why and their purpose. Everyone else has their shit figured out, but I'm not qualified enough. I'm not smart enough. I'm not fit enough. I'm not strong enough. I'm not worthy. These things made me feel behind and lost. Feeling lost is not the problem. It's a sign towards a new situation. A chance to get creative, to build resilience, and a chance to connect with yourself and the world around you. You are adaptable. You are brave. You are safe. You are loved. If you're feeling lost in where you are in your life, you've found the right podcast with your hosts Jenn, Paula, and Meg.

    Many people spend their adult years chasing and managing pain. In this episode Jenn and Paula take a 5 day vacation to relieve pain and regain movement freedom through the AMIT method. They discuss what lead to finding the AMIT method and how it has improved their pain and overall health.A.M.I.T.® is a cutting edge diagnostic therapeutic procedure for defining musculature weakness and imbalances in the body. It allows the body to function optimally for peak performance and healing.Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (A.M.I.T.®) is a systematic treatment of common joint and muscle conditions experienced by active people. A.M.I.T.® is a revolutionary advancement in sports medicine. Read more here.Video: Breakthroughs with AMIT - watch hereTestimonial from Jenn:What results did you have from treatment at CENTERED?* Initially after leaving Centered, I did not notice much improvement in my knee, which is where I believed the problem to reside.  Dr. Molly reset all the muscles in my feet and some large ones in my hip.  While I honestly didn't anticipate much change, I am incredibly surprised to realize those resets have allowed me to train in ways I was not able in the past.  I'm seeing marked improvement in the knee in the weeks after treatment as a result of that additional training. In how many sessions did you notice a change in your condition?* I had three total AMIT sessions over one week.  I noticed a change in mobility of the hip and stability in my feet/ankles after the first treatment.  It has taken approximately five weeks to see significant improvement in my knee.  Was there anything else that stood out to you about your treatment?* The most interesting benefits I received at Centered were ones I didn't realize I needed or lacked.  For example, in that same car accident, I broke the right mastoid bone resulting in complete nerve deafness in that ear.  During one of the sessions, Dr. Molly reset the mastoid muscle.  That night was the first time I was able to take a strong deep breath since the accident in 1984.  * While I still have work to do & all my issues weren't fixed in a one week time frame, I feel like I have the start to a good foundation on which to build.Location of our 5 day intensive treatment: CENTEREDhttps://centerhealthsv.com/Testimonial from Paula:Results…My quad pain progressively got better with each session and by the 3rd session I was able to hike up and down the steep hill which took 20 min to go up and 30 min to go down. I only stopped once on the way up because of conditioning.  That was a huge success.  It also was a big test on my knee.  I gained confidence in my knee which I haven't had years. I also haven't had any headaches in 2 months!A couple things I noticed and wasn't excepting:My arms fell asleep every night when I lay on either side after 5-10 min.  I after the very first treatment the symptoms disappeared and have not returned after 2 months and I no longer need a “special” pillow as I used to get neck pain if I didn't. I also had some left hip pain which was compensating from my limping of the right knee. It was just that annoying discomfort that appeared off and on.  I noticed after week of being home that the pain was totally gone. The knee is a structural issue and has been going on for 50yrs. I am able to do things I haven't been able to do for quite some time.  I'm gaining more confidence and stability every day!Location of our 5 day intensive treatment: CENTERED

With original research and plenty of encouragement, she explores the psychology of releasing our definitions of an “imperfect” life and embracing living authentically. Brown’s “ten guideposts” are benchmarks for authenticity that can help anyone establish a practice for a life of honest beauty—a perfectly imperfect life.Now more than ever, we all need to cultivate feelings of self-worth, as well as acceptance and love for ourselves. In a world where insults, criticisms, and fears are spread too generously alongside messages of unrealistic beauty, attainment, and expectation, we look for ways to “dig deep” and find truth and gratitude in our lives. A new way forward means we can’t hold on too tightly to our own self-defeating thoughts or the displaced pain in our world. Instead, we can embrace the imperfection." - purchase here
