Have you ever felt trapped by chronic pain with no clear physical cause? What if the key to healing wasn't in a pill, but locked within your mind? In this episode, I sit down with exercise science expert PJ Glassey, to explore the incredible world of mind-body healing. PJ shares his journey of overcoming debilitating back pain and a severe fractured collar bone, by harnessing the principles of brain rewiring, neuroplasticity and the ground-breaking work of Dr. John Sarno on TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome).Time stamps05:50 - The Mind-Body Connection: PJ introduces Dr. John Sarno and his work on how the brain creates physical pain (TMS) to distract from emotions.19:51 - Heal Faster Than Expected: PJ receives a nine-month recovery prognosis for his broken clavicle and decides to challenge it, setting his own expectation to heal faster.33:35 - Simple Brain Rewiring Techniques: PJ explains how to use EFT (tapping) as a shortcut to distinguish between emotional and physical pain.37:10 - Communicate with Your Subconscious: PJ shares his simple technique of talking to his subconscious mind (who he calls "Timmy") as a loving parent to release pain.38:08 - The Power of Belief: When asked for his single most important tip, PJ explains why belief and expectation are the keys to unlocking your body's ability to heal.40:33 - Overcoming the Nocebo Effect: PJ discusses how negative medical prognoses can become self-fulfilling prophecies and why it's crucial to take back your power.PJ's bio PJ started personal training in 1987 and successfully grew his business over the following 11 years, training clients in their homes and at local area gyms. With the help of these clients as test subjects, and armed with his degree in Exercise Science, PJ invented his “multi-protocol” concept and refined it through 1998, when he founded the X Gym. He is also the author of the book "Cracking Your Calorie Code" and the inventor of his Brain Type Test, which helps people achieve health and fitness results much faster through specific brain wiring techniques tailored to their unique brain type. PJ's extensive research into brain science to develop his brain rewiring techniques also helped him through his own healing experiences, which could have been permanently disabling, had he not gone on this personal research and discovery path.Connect with PJxgym.comhttps://www.instagram.com/xgyms https://x.com/XGymhttps://www.facebook.com/xgymshttps://www.youtube.com/xgymWho am I?Sarah is a highly sought-after Holistic Health and Healing Coach, International Speaker and the Author of HEAL YOURSELF.She's also a Multi-Award-Winning Entrepreneur and Award Winning Host of the popular health-focused podcast, Heal Yourself with Sarah Dawkins.

In this second part of our conversation with Professor Rylee Dionigi, we continue exploring the Masters sport phenomenon from a socio-cultural perspective. Ageing-as-decline discourse is nowadays challenged by active, healthy and successful ageing discourses. What are the opportunities but also potential problems associated with these competing discourses? What are the implications for exercise and health promotion with older adults? We also explore methodologies and methods that have been useful in Prof. Dionigi's research into Masters sport and physical activity. Rylee Dionigi is a professor in of Sport and Exercise Science at Charles Sturt University with expertise in qualitative research as well as sociology of active living and ageing. She has studied Masters sports for over 20 years and shared her insights from this extensive work in the podcast. Interested in exploring further?

Opportunities for involvement in sports in later life have increased significantly and many sports around the globe have competitions and categories for Masters/Veteran athletes. At the same time, researchers have explored the experiences and meanings of being an older athlete, showing tensions in individual experiences as well as in shifting social discourse surrounding sport and ageing. We have shifted from ageing-as-decline to active ageing discourses, which provide different imagination of growing old. But are there also some darker sides in the shift towards more positive visions of ageing? Rylee Dionigi is a professor in of Sport and Exercise Science at Charles Sturt University with expertise in qualitative research as well as sociology of active living and ageing. She has studied Masters sports for over 20 years and shared her insights from this extensive work in the podcast. Questions explored in the conversation include: How did the cultural discourses shift in the last 20 years? Have athletes' experiences and meanings of sport also shifted at the same time? What are the different pathways to Masters sport and do they map into different relationships with sport? Why are active ageing discourses also potentially problematic? Interested?

My guest, PJ Glassey discusses the emotional side of back pain and how a condition known as Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) is characterized by chronic pain, often in the back, neck, shoulders, and hips, and is caused by the brain's response to repressed negative emotions and stress. About Mr. Glassey: PJ started personal training in 1987 and successfully grew his business over the following 11 years, training clients in their homes and at local area gyms. With the help of these clients as test subjects, and armed with his degree in Exercise Science, PJ invented his “multi-protocol” concept and refined it through 1998, when he founded the X Gym. He is also the author of the book "Cracking Your Calorie Code" and the inventor of his Brain Type Test, which helps people achieve health and fitness results much faster through specific brain wiring techniques tailored to their unique brain type.

OVERVIEWAlmost anywhere you go these days, you're likely to see someone walking, running, or climbing stairs wearing a weighted vest. Popularized by Crossfit boxes, mixed martial arts gyms, and boot camp-style exercise programs, “rucking” is a new name for the old concept of an “overloaded training intervention”. The question we get is whether training with a weighted vest (off the bike) will improve cycling performance. CTS Pro Coach Sarah Scozzaro, one of our top strength and conditioning coaches, breaks down the details of whether weighted training works for cyclists. Topics Covered In This Episode:Weighted Vests: Are they effective for:Increase Core Strength?Improve Strength-Endurance?Increase Bone Density?Improve VO2 Max?Increase Motivation?History of overloaded training interventions in cyclingSeparating strength from endurance trainingHow to use weighted vests safely How much weight to carryResourcesShould Runners Train with Weighted Vests? - CTSGravel Racing Gear Guide for Cyclists - CTSWeighted Vests Are Now A Fitness Trend.

Please join me as I sit down with Dr. Devin DeGreif, physical therapist, transformational coach, and author, for a beautiful conversation on: moving from grief to joy - survival to thrival her insights on losing your sense of self her philosophies on healing traumatic and chronic health conditions what she means by connecting intuitively with inner wisdom helping people live fully in joy and delight an explanation of the aura energy field journey through the heart and prisms and so much more! Welcome to The Healing Place Podcast! I am your host, Teri Wellbrock. You can listen in on Pandora, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Deezer, Amazon Music, and more, or directly on my website at www.teriwellbrock.com/podcasts/. You can also catch our insightful interview on YouTube. Bio: Dr. Devin DeGreif I am a Change consultant. I am also a Doctor of Physical Therapy, intuitive healer, transformational coach and now author. After experiencing my own trauma, grief and pain, I transformed those experiences into my passion to guide others to harness their natural abilities and invoke their power to truly live. Having taken the journey from deep places of grief to resounding joy myself. I deeply revere the capacity for each person to live a delight filled life, truly embodied in their being. I am a Physical Therapist by trade and a Healer at heart. My personal life story has been one that could have made me lose all hope. All hope in life, all hope in myself and all hope of the possibility of life getting any better. When I was a kid, I broke my tailbone 3 times. As a result, as I grew up I had horrible pelvic pain, unexplained urinary leakage, constipation, pain with my bowel movements and more. I was told by my gynecologist that everything was fine and I was “normal”. This didn't feel normal to me.  Over time I began to develop increasingly more back pain and knee pain. When I was 18, I had my first knee surgery then the following year a surgery on my other knee. I was better in some sense but worse off in many. The only thing that remotely helped me at the time was strength training. It felt like I had to hold my body together with my muscles in order to function. This led me to get my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science.  The only options provided to me by modern medicine health care providers were more surgeries and pain medication. That did not feel right for me, so I carried on strength training. Then, to add to it all, when I was 23 years old my mom was murdered. Yes, my mom was wretchedly murdered! I know, it's a shock. It was for me. I write all about it in my book “Good Grief: The Journey from Grief to Joy” coming out late spring 2025. After that shocking experience, my health challenges not only encompassed my physical body but my spirit! I was depressed, numb, tormented and tattered. I HATED being in my body!  Basically y'all, I had to take my journey into my own hands. No one else was able to truly help me.  I began with Physical Therapy school becoming a Pelvic Health and Orthopedic specialist. Thankfully, after PT school I found out about visceral manipulation which is where I learned how we stuff our emotions that are unprocessed into our organs. Also, how traumatic injuries can also be transmitted into the organs. THIS was when things started to really unfold, for the better. I then also began training in craniosacral therapy and meditation.
