Happy Mindset Monday!Who are you beyond your job title, achievements, relationships, responsibilities, and the expectations other people placed on you?In this episode of Living The Sweet Life, TJ Sweet sits down with author, speaker, podcast host, coach, and corporate leader Tetika Buchheit for an honest conversation about identity, healing, survival, strength, and human connection.Tetika came to the United States at 17 without speaking English. She went on to earn her doctorate, build a successful corporate career, lead and develop others, survive cancer, endure loss, and continue rising through life's most difficult chapters.For years, achievement looked like thriving.But beneath the performance was a deeper need to reconnect with the person behind the titles.Tetika shares how she began moving from external approval toward authenticity, from survival toward healing, and from asking, “Why is this happening to me?” to asking, “What is this trying to teach me?”TJ and Tetika discuss:Why achievement does not always create fulfillmentHow survival habits can prevent us from thrivingWhat it means to be both strong and softWhy asking for help creates deeper connectionHow to forgive yourself for choices made with an earlier level of awarenessWhy waiting for an apology can keep you emotionally stuckHow to separate your identity from your painWhy being fully seen begins with showing people who you really areHow honest conversations create safety, healing, and belongingTetika leaves us with a powerful reminder:Every meaningful transformation begins with one honest moment.You do not need to have the entire path figured out.You only need enough courage to tell yourself the truth about where you are and what needs to change.Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/tetikabuchheit/Listen to The Rise of You: A Truth Discovered:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-rise-of-you-a-truth-discovered--6658837Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rise-of-you-a-truth-discovered/id1821504549Purchase Rise in Truth in paperback:https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Truth-Tetika-Buchheit/dp/B0FPQYFBT4Purchase Rise in Truth on Kindle:https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Truth-Tetika-Buchheit-ebook/dp/B0FPBT1QK8Website shared during the episode:https://ttalks.comRise in Truth explores pain, healing, grace, and the process of accepting yourself as enough.

Could unresolved emotions, chronic stress and suppressed anger be contributing to persistent pain?In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon speaks with author Amy Lansky about her personal experiences with lower back pain, sciatica, insomnia and other chronic symptoms—and how the work of Dr John Sarno changed the way she understood them.Amy explains why pain may not always originate solely in the physical body and introduces the framework from her book, Living in Synchrony. This explores the physical, etheric, emotional, mental and causal aspects of the human experience—and how each may influence health and healing.Together, Leigh and Amy explore:Amy's journey from computer scientist to author and researcherHow Dr John Sarno connected chronic pain with suppressed emotionsAmy's experience of overcoming severe sciaticaWhy chronic pain may move from one area of the body to anotherHow posture, breathing and movement can contribute to physical symptomsThe relationship between emotional stress, muscle tension and painWhy symptom suppression may not address the underlying causeApproaches including meditation, journalling, emotional release, TRE and EFTHow to explore the possible root causes of persistent symptomsSimple ways to reconnect with your body, intuition and sense of meaningThis conversation invites you to look beyond the location of your pain and consider the wider physical, emotional and psychological influences that may be contributing to it.Please remember that persistent, severe or unexplained symptoms should be appropriately assessed by a qualified healthcare professional.

What if the reason your pain persists is not only found in the part of your body that hurts?When pain continues despite treatment, exercise, medication or attempts to correct the physical problem, it may be necessary to look beyond muscles, joints and structural damage. Unresolved emotional experiences, chronic stress, fear and deeply held beliefs may also influence how the body responds and why pain remains.In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh speaks with Peter Strange, creator of the RESET Method, about his own journey from serious knee and spinal injuries to developing an approach that considers the structural, emotional and energetic influences on pain.Peter explains how RESET—Realigning Emotions and Structure for Energetic Transformation—evolved from his background in fitness, kinesiology, manual therapy and energy-based healing. He also describes what he means by non-local connection and how he works with clients remotely.Leigh and Peter explore:Why physical findings such as degeneration, disc changes or “wear and tear” do not always explain someone's painHow unresolved emotions and significant life experiences may contribute to persistent painWhy pain can sometimes change when a person feels heard, safe or more in controlThe relationship between posture, thoughts, emotions and the nervous systemHow Peter developed the RESET MethodWhat non-local connection and remote healing mean in practical termsQuestions that may help you explore the emotional context surrounding your painWhy surgery may sometimes be appropriate, but should not automatically be viewed as the only optionThe importance of seeking appropriate professional advice and considering the whole personThis conversation does not suggest that physical injuries or structural problems should be ignored. Instead, it encourages you to remain curious about the different influences that may be affecting your pain and to consider whether there is another part of your story that has not yet been explored.Connect with Peter StrangeWebsite:https://peterstrange.co.ukConnect with Leigh BrandonBeyond The Pain paperback:https://amzn.to/4y2HVWgBeyond The Pain ebook:https://amzn.to/4y0lH78Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme:https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultationThis podcast is provided for educational purposes only and should not be treated as medical advice.

No false comfort. Just the truth about what actually happens when the fire gets turned up — and what it exposes.Paul breaks down:Why the forge isn't punishment — it's the processThe hidden scripts running in the background that divorce finally forces into the lightThe dangerous trap of "performance repentance" and why it backfiresWhy men power down when the fire gets too hot — and what that reveals about the condition of their heartThe King David principle: why you can't use yesterday's strategy for today's battleWhat it means to be quenched too soon — and how men distort themselves trying to escape the painWhy both outcomes — reconciliation or divorce — require the same thing: a man on his A-gameThis isn't a marriage-saving episode.

Energy healing is often dismissed as “woo woo” by people who have never experienced it.But what if some of what we call woo woo is simply what science has not yet learned how to measure?In this episode of Beyond The Pain, I speak with Romain Daumont, founder of Luminara Care, about energy healing, chronic pain, grief, silence, trust, and the emerging science around biofield therapies.Romain's journey into this work began after the heartbreaking loss of his son, Rafael, shortly after birth. During that period of grief, he discovered something unexpected: silence did not have to feel empty or frightening. In the presence of others, silence could feel loving, supportive, and deeply connecting.That experience eventually led him to create Helo, an app designed to help people share moments of silence together, even when physically apart. But Romain's path later took another turn when he began exploring collective meditation, remote healing, and the world of energy medicine.In this conversation, we discuss how energy healing may support people with chronic pain, trauma, anxiety, depression, and cancer-related pain, while also being honest that it does not work for everyone, and that the quality and integrity of the practitioner matters enormously.We also talk about why trust is so important in an unregulated field, how Luminara vets practitioners, what a first session may look like, and why Romain is now involved in research looking at energy healing, chronic pain, trauma, and other health challenges.This is a thought-provoking conversation about pain, the nervous system, emotional healing, the biofield, science, scepticism, and the possibility that healing may involve more than the physical body alone.In this episode, we discuss:Why Romain's experience of grief changed his relationship with silenceHow shared silence can create connection without wordsThe story behind Helo and Luminara CareWhy Romain became interested in collective meditation and remote healingHow energy healing may help some people with chronic painWhy practitioner quality, ethics, and trust matter so muchWhat mainstream pain care may miss about persistent painWhy pain is not simply something to suppressThe relationship between pain, the nervous system, emotions, and the bodyWhat a first energy healing session through Luminara may look likeHow Luminara matches clients with vetted practitionersThe importance of consent, openness, and safety in healing workEmerging research into biofield therapies and energy healingWhy the future of healthcare may need to become more integrativeConnect with Romain:Website: https://www.luminara.care/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luminara.care/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luminara-care/Connect with Leigh:Beyond The Pain paperback: https://amzn.to/4y2HVWgBeyond The Pain ebook: https://amzn.to/4y0lH78Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme: https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation

Jim Logan was 59 years old, extremely fit, and had no symptoms when he was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic colorectal cancer.The doctors gave him six months to two years.He spent the first six months preparing to die.Closed his bank accounts.Shut down his home inspection business of 30 years.Got his family ready.Then treatment started shrinking his tumors. Surgery became possible. And Jim made a different decision.He started preparing to live.Since then he's been through 24 rounds of chemo, radiation, and multiple major surgeries — including removal of most of his liver, his colon, his rectum, and his gallbladder.He now trains and competes while living with an ostomy. He's been declared cancer-free twice. And he's still on chemo.He's also training for the Ironman World Championship in Kona!I've talked to a lot of people about resilience on this podcast.Most of the conversations end up in the same place — some version of "mindset matters" or "just keep going." Jim doesn't talk like that.He's specific. He has a framework he actually uses: Discipline, Sacrifice, Suffering, Pain. He talks about the pain you choose preparing you for the pain you don't.And he said something in this conversation that I keep thinking about — "everyone is terminal. I just found out sooner."The other thing that stuck with me is how much he talks about training as identity, not motivation.He didn't keep swimming, biking, and running through chemo because he was motivated to. He kept doing it because that's who he is.The diagnosis didn't change that. If anything, it made him lean into it harder.We got into:Why Jim kept training through chemo ("cancer may kill me, but swimming won't")The six months he spent planning to die, and what changedWhy he calls cancer both the worst and the best thing that's ever happened to himHis D.S.S.P. philosophy — Discipline, Sacrifice, Suffering, PainWhy the pain you choose prepares you for the pain you don'tWhy "everyone is terminal" isn't dark, it's clarifyingWhat good coaches actually do (it's not "push harder")Zone 2 cardio, why beginners train too hard, and what actually builds enduranceWhy happiness lives inside pursuit, not at the end of itJim wrote a book called Just Keep Tri-ing. He's also raising money for cancer charities through his Ironman training.Links to both are below.Find Jim on Instagram: @stage42025​His book on Amazon: Just Keep Tri-ing​Ironman fundraising page: Donate here​Facebook fundraising page: Donate here​

Chronic pain is often treated as though it is purely a physical problem — an injury, a joint issue, a disc problem, inflammation, or degeneration.But for many people living with persistent pain, the real picture is far more complex.In this episode of Beyond The Pain, I speak with pain management expert Hany Demian about why chronic pain often needs to be understood through a much wider lens — one that includes the body, mind, emotions, stress, lifestyle, inflammation, nervous system sensitivity, and the person's overall health.Hany shares his own journey into medicine, the limitations he began to see in conventional pain management, and why he became increasingly interested in cellular health, regenerative medicine, and more holistic approaches to healing.We discuss why pain is not always just about the place where it hurts, why mindset and emotional stress can influence recovery, and why nutrition, movement, sleep, inflammation, oxidative stress, and lifestyle choices may all play a role in whether someone gets better or remains stuck.This is not about saying pain is “all in your head.” It is about recognising that persistent pain is often a whole-person problem — and therefore recovery may need a whole-person approach.In this episode, we discuss:Why chronic pain is often more than just an injury or structural problemThe limitations of conventional pain management when root causes are missedHow inflammation, oxidative stress, and lifestyle stress can contribute to persistent painWhy mindset and emotional health can influence chronic pain recoveryThe role of nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management in healingWhy some people struggle to recover even after injections, procedures, or medicationHow taking a more proactive role in your health can support long-term pain reliefIf you are living with chronic pain, persistent pain, back pain, joint pain, or ongoing symptoms that have not fully responded to conventional treatment, this episode will help you think differently about what may be driving your pain — and what you may be able to do about it.Connect with Dr Hany:Website - https://drdemian.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/drhanydemian/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@drhanydemainConnect with Leigh:Beyond The Pain book - https://amzn.to/44ArJxTBeyond The Pain 14-Day Programme - https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide - ⁠https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/⁠Consult with Leigh - ⁠https://www.bodychek.co.uk/⁠consultation

When your parents' divorce or separation hurts deeply, it can raise painful questions about God: Where was He when my family fell apart? Why didn't He stop it? And if faith matters so much, why didn't it save my family?In this episode, Joey talks with Dr. Daniel Meola, co-founder of Life-Giving Wounds, about suffering, anger, grief, spiritual bypassing, and the struggle many adult children of divorce face in their relationship with God.They discuss:Why divorce can feel like abandonment by GodWhat to do when faith was used to minimize your painWhy anger and grief aren't signs of weak faithHow to avoid getting stuck in victimhood or spiritual bypassingWhy acknowledging your pain may be the first step toward healingHow God can transform wounds into strength, love, and purposeIf you're an adult child of divorce or separation who has ever asked, “God, where were You when my family fell apart?” this episode is for you.Learn more about Life-Giving WoundsGet the book Life-Giving Wounds: A Catholic Guide to Healing for Adult Children of Divorce or SeparationGet Joey's free guide, 7 Ways to Work Through the Pain of Your Parents' Divorce:Get Joey's book, It's Not Your FaultSubscribe to the Restored podcast:Get the Book: Searching for and Maintaining Peace: A Small Treatise on Peace of HeartGet the Book: Interior FreedomShow notes

In this unforgettable return to the OneMicNite Podcast, host Marcos Luis sits down with Dr. Carla Hooker, the internationally respected motivational speaker, sickle cell anemia warrior, movement mentor, and author of the groundbreaking new book 10 Things You Should Know.This episode is raw, uplifting, and deeply human—a masterclass in resilience, faith, and the courage to keep moving even when life hits hard.Dr. Hooker opens up about:

“You are not responsible for removing your child's grief. You are responsible for the environment you help create.”What if parenting through divorce didn't require you to make everything okay, but instead invited you to understand what is actually yours to carry?This conversation holds space for the quiet, often unspoken grief that comes with the end of a relationship, especially when you are still showing up every day for your children. It offers a gentle reorientation away from pressure and toward presence, helping you consider what steadiness can look like in the middle of change.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to support your children while navigating your own grief, this episode invites you into a more sustainable way forward: one rooted in connection, capacity, and small, meaningful shifts.In this episode, we talk about:What it means to parent while grieving the loss of a relationshipThe difference between creating safety and trying to prevent painWhy you are not responsible for fixing your child's griefHow connection supports children more than perfectionThe role of repair when parenting feels messyCreating small, consistent moments of safety and belongingHow to begin tending to your own capacity, one week at a timeLinks + Resources from this episode:Alan Wolfelt on divorce & grief: https://amzn.to/3NGVZCCLisa Rites: https://amzn.to/4dMPaK9Get the workbook/Become a Patron!Learn more about Restorative Grief

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon explores why many traditional pain treatment approaches fall short when they focus too narrowly on the painful area or rely too heavily on technique.While biomechanics, anatomy and hands-on skills all have their place, persistent pain often requires a broader, more human-centred approach. Pain is influenced not only by joints, muscles and movement, but also by stress, sleep, physiology, emotional load, nervous system protection, beliefs, fear and lifestyle.Leigh discusses why practitioners can sometimes misjudge the true drivers of pain by narrowing their assessment too quickly, and why lasting change usually requires more than applying the right technique to the painful site.This episode also explores the difference between treatment and transformation, and why the goal should not be to create dependency, but to help people participate more fully in their own recovery.In this episode, Leigh discusses:Why focusing only on the painful site can miss the bigger pictureThe difference between technique and true transformationHow sleep, stress, physiology and emotional load can influence persistent painWhy nervous system protection matters in chronic painHow practitioners can communicate without increasing fear or threatWhy client participation is essential for long-term recoveryPractical questions that can expand assessment beyond biomechanics aloneBeyond The Pain: A Whole-Person Approach to Understanding Pain and Participating in RecoveryJoin the waitlist and get a free chapter:https://bodychek.co.uk/book-waitlist/Pre-order the Kindle version on Amazon:https://amzn.to/4e0uAG6Connect with Leigh Brandon:Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme: https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation

Is Canada in recession — or just stuck?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen LeDrew speaks with John Turley-Ewart, columnist with The Globe and Mail, about Canada's slowing economy, rising affordability pressures, and why so many Canadians feel they are falling behind.Turley-Ewart argues that while economists may debate whether Canada is technically in recession, the lived experience for most Canadians is clear: inflation has outpaced household budgets, debt remains high, savings are thin, and the economy has lost momentum.The conversation explores:Why many Canadians feel they have not caught up with inflationWhat “technical recession” means compared with everyday economic painWhy business creation and entrepreneurship are weakening in CanadaThe need for tax reform and regulatory reformWhy Canada needs higher-paying private-sector jobsWhether Mark Carney can deliver on promises to grow the economyAnd why massive deficits cannot continue indefinitelyLeDrew and Turley-Ewart discuss whether Canada is merely stalled — or facing a deeper economic problem that requires urgent action from Ottawa.As households struggle with rising costs, job insecurity, debt, and weak growth, this interview asks whether Canada's leadership understands the scale of the challenge — and whether the country can get moving again.

What happens when a sharp, inquisitive 14-year-old interviewer starts asking questions most adults never think to ask?In this conversation with Rithvik Raya, Coach Alex dives deep into some of the biggest questions surrounding health, fitness, resilience, agency, suffering, faith, and human potential.Together they explore:Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and chronic painWhy modern abundance may be making us physically and mentally weakerThe science of adaptation and resilienceWhy "calories in, calories out" oversimplifies human biologyThe surprising science behind hope molecules and exerciseWhy coaching and community outperform diets and algorithmsThe role of agency in personal transformationWhat fitness has to do with faith, purpose, and stewardshipHow modern culture encourages victimhood—and how to reclaim responsibilityWhy intensity isn't always the answerThe difference between starting a fitness journey and becoming the kind of person who finishes itThis is one of the most thoughtful and wide-ranging conversations I've had in a long time. Rithvik asked questions that forced me to think carefully about what I actually believe and why.If you've ever wondered how fitness connects to psychology, theology, resilience, leadership, and the pursuit of a meaningful life, this conversation is for you.Life is hard.The question isn't whether you'll face difficulty.The question is:What kind of hard will you choose?⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Introduction01:06 – Living With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome05:15 – Why Modern Comfort May Be Making Us Weak08:42 – Choosing Your Hard10:40 – Childhood Trauma, Science & Finding Truth13:05 – Why Coach Alex Built Faithful Fitness16:45 – The Fitness Industry's Biggest Problem17:05 – Calories In, Calories Out?

Pain relief matters — but is it the same as recovery?In this solo episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon takes you behind the scenes of his new book, Beyond The Pain: A Whole-Person Approach to Understanding Pain and Participating in Recovery.After nearly three decades of working with people in persistent pain, Leigh shares why so many people experience temporary relief, only for their pain to return days, weeks, or months later. He explores why pain is often misunderstood when it is reduced to a body part, scan finding, diagnosis, posture issue, or single treatment approach.Through the story of Amelia, a client with recurring neck and shoulder pain, cervical spinal stenosis, fatigue, digestive issues, bloating and headaches, Leigh explains how structural, metabolic, lifestyle, emotional and nervous system factors can all interact to influence pain and recovery.This episode is not about blaming people for their pain. It is about helping people understand that they may have more influence over their recovery than they have been led to believe.In this episode, Leigh discusses:Why pain relief is not always the same as recoveryWhy persistent pain often returns after treatmentHow a diagnosis can be useful — but also limitingWhy pain should not always be viewed as a simple damage signalHow digestion, stress, inflammation, fatigue and movement patterns can all influence painWhy recovery often requires a whole-person frameworkThe difference between personal responsibility and blameWhy Beyond The Pain was writtenYou can find Leigh here:Beyond The Pain book Free Chapter:https://bodychek.co.uk/book-waitlist/Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme:https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation/

Most people think chiropractic care is only for neck pain, back pain, headaches, sciatica, pinched nerves, stiffness, and injury recovery. And yes — those are common reasons people walk into a chiropractic office.But chiropractic was never meant to be reduced to pain relief. In this episode we talk about how chiropractic got trapped in the “neck and back pain” box — and why the bigger conversation is the spine, nervous system, posture, movement, stress response, brain-body communication, and function.Pain may be what gets your attention, but function is the real goal. We'll discuss how insurance reimbursement helped shape the way chiropractic is talked about, why patients often wait until their body is screaming before seeking care, Chiropractic is not just about chasing symptoms. It's about helping the body function better.In this episode:How chiropractic became known mainly for neck and back painWhy insurance shaped the public story of chiropracticThe difference between pain relief and better functionWhy the nervous system mattersWhy recurring symptoms are signals, not random problemsHow to stop using chiropractic only as crisis careSign up for our newsletter: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/AwGmSeQ/ChiropracticIsSexyCONNECT w Dr. Ruffin!https://drruffin.com/https://www.instagram.com/drpaularuffin/https://www.facebook.com/drpaularuffinCONNECT w Dr Peabody:https://www.cafeoflifefenton.com/meet-the-doctors/ https://www.instagram.com/drericapeabody/https://www.facebook.com/erica.peabodyDisclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.

Do your headaches feel like a tight band around your head that gets worse as the day goes on?In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, we break down tension-type headaches—one of the most common (and frustrating) types of headaches people experience.You'll learn why these headaches build throughout the day, what's actually causing that pressure and tightness, and what you can start doing to reduce or prevent them—without relying on medication.We cover:What tension headaches feel like and how to identify themWhy posture, desk work, and daily habits play a major roleThe connection between neck, shoulders, and head painWhy rest alone doesn't fix the problemPractical strategies to reduce tension and build resilienceIf you're dealing with daily headaches, afternoon crashes, or constant tightness in your head and neck, this episode will give you a clearer path forward.

Saving Struggling, Sexless, and Toxic Marriages.Kathryn Morrow, Author of Behind The White Picket Fence.Your husband had an affair.Your feelings are wrecked.And now somebody tells you to “compartmentalize it.”But what does that actually mean?In this episode, Cass and Kathryn break down compartmentalizing in plain language:not denial, not excusing betrayal, and not pretending your pain doesn't matter.They explain how to separate your partner's behavior from your identity…how to tell whether the affair was characterological or built through disconnection…and why trying to control, track, monitor, and force trust back into the marriage only makes healing harder.Inside this episode:What compartmentalizing actually means after emotional or physical betrayalWhy your hurt is valid — and why valid hurt still needs directionThe difference between “this had nothing to do with me” and “I need to own my part in the disconnect”The cascade toward betrayal and how disconnection builds before the affairWhy disrespect, overwork, absence, and invisible contracts break connectionWhy tracking phones, checking messages, and demanding trust keeps you stuckHow to create opportunities for joy instead of building your marriage around painWhy shame keeps both people trapped in the old storyHow empathy, responsibility, and supervised boundaries actually move healing forwardKey idea from this episode:You don't compartmentalize betrayal by pretending it didn't matter.You compartmentalize it by seeing clearly what is yours, what is theirs, and what has to heal next.

Low back pain is one of the most common problems people deal with—but most people are still asking the wrong question.Instead of only asking:“What's wrong with my back?”This episode explores a better question:“What am I doing that keeps this problem going?”In this conversation, we break down why low back pain is rarely just about one body part—and why pain is often the result of a bigger mix of movement issues, lifestyle habits, stress, recovery, and accumulated risk factors.In this episode, we cover:Why low back pain is often more than an anatomy problemThe difference between acute vs chronic low back painWhy medication may help symptoms—but not functionHow sleep, stress, diet, inactivity, and body composition affect back painWhy movement quality and lifestyle both matterThe difference between correlation and causationHow to think about low back pain through a functional wellness lensWhy consistency matters more than a “quick fix”This episode is especially valuable for:Physical therapistsChiropractorsAthletic trainersStrength coachesFitness professionalsAnyone dealing with recurring low back painKey takeaway:Your back may be where the pain shows up……but it may not be where the real problem starts.If you want to improve outcomes, reduce risk, and help people move better for the long term, you have to look beyond the symptom.Learn more / Explore the tools mentionedTry Symmio:https://symmio.comExplore Functional Movement Systems:https://www.functionalmovement.comMovement Podcast:https://www.movementpod.comSubscribe for more conversations on:MovementInjury riskFunctional wellnessCorrective strategiesPerformance and rehabFunctional Movement SystemsYouTubeFacebookInstagramX (Twitter)Subscribe to the FMS Newsletter

What if your chronic pain, stiffness, or recurring injuries are not just about aging, but signals from a nervous system that feels overwhelmed, inflamed, and under-supported? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with physical therapist Dr. Dan Ginader, author of The Pain-Free Body, to unpack how modern lifestyles, stress, and sedentary habits are quietly driving the rise of chronic pain.If you're dealing with ongoing pain, fatigue, or inflammation and want deeper, root-cause support, join the Circle here: 

In this powerful episode, Dr. Vaughn unpacks the truth about inflammation, pain, bloating, coffee, and fatigue from a biblical and root-cause perspective.You'll learn:What inflammation actually is and why it's not the enemyHow pain and inflammation are part of God's intelligent design to warn us and start the healing processWhy chronic issues like stomach pain, gut problems, headaches, and joint pain are warning lights—like a “check engine” light on your carThe difference between inflammation vs. bloating, and what bloating often reveals about gut microbial imbalancesHidden root causes of ongoing painWhy simply masking symptoms with pain medications can lead to deeper problems (and the real risks of common OTC drugs)How everyday habits—especially coffee, diet, and sedentary lifestyle—can quietly drive inflammation and painWhat fatigue and low energy have to do with your mitochondria, sunlight, and key nutrients How aligning with God's original design supports whole-body healingIf you've been dealing with ongoing pain, bloating, or exhaustion and haven't found answers, this episode will help you rethink inflammation as a signal from a loving Designer, not just a problem to suppress.To find out how we can help you on your health journey, book a free 15-minute Discovery Call with one of our New Client Coordinators!

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon is joined by Stan Kurtz for a thought-provoking conversation on chronic pain, inflammation, trauma, stress, toxicity, and the deeper factors that may be driving pain in the body. Stan shares how his own family experiences led him into this work, why he believes many chronic issues have root causes beyond symptoms, and why pain may be better understood as a signal rather than the problem itself. Leigh and Stan also explore the relationships between inflammation, dysbiosis, stress physiology, trauma, and chronic pain, as well as Stan's views on why the body may prioritise survival and stress responses over detoxification. They also discuss biomechanics, perception, and why changing the inputs into the body may influence pain, energy, and overall function. In this episode, they discuss:Stan's personal journey into health and recovery workWhy he believes toxins, stress, trauma, and inflammation can all play a role in chronic painThe idea that pain is a signal asking for attentionThe connection between stress, perception, physiology, and painWhy unresolved trauma may affect healingPractical lifestyle ideas Stan suggests people experiment with Contact Stan:https://stansrecoveries.com/https://stanslinks.com/Contact Leigh:Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme - https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh - https://bodychek.co.uk/consultation/

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon is joined by Dr. Kevin Smith, a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist with more than 25 years of experience helping people uncover and address the root causes of chronic pain.Dr. Smith shares his journey from chiropractic student to seasoned practitioner, and explains how his curiosity about complex patient cases led him to expand beyond structural care into the world of clinical nutrition. Together, Leigh and Dr. Smith explore why chronic pain is rarely as simple as it seems, and why a more holistic, investigative approach is often needed to create lasting change.They discuss the difference between acute and chronic pain, the role of degeneration, posture and muscle imbalances, why movement patterns matter so much, and how missed developmental steps can influence pain and performance later in life. Dr. Smith also explains why educating patients is such a vital part of the healing process, and why collaboration between health professionals can lead to better outcomes.If you want to better understand the deeper drivers of chronic pain — and how chiropractic care and nutrition can work together to support recovery — this episode is packed with valuable insights.You'll hear about:The difference between acute and chronic painCommon root causes of long-term painWhy posture and muscle imbalances matterThe role of nutrition in chronic health issuesHow movement patterns influence pain and performanceWhy patient education is key to healingThe importance of collaboration in healthcareFind Dr. Kevin Smith online:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KevinSmithdcFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/cccpa1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevinsmithdc/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinsmithdc/X: https://x.com/kevinsmithdcPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ksmithdc/You can find Leigh here:Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme - https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh - https://bodychek.co.uk/

I used to judge suicide.Then a man I worked with died on shift.In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, I tell the story of paramedic Greg Turner and the day I stopped judging suicide. I talk honestly about what it's like to lose a brother in uniform, how PTSD and unspoken trauma eat people alive, and what changed in me after standing in the aftermath of a death that never should have happened.As a former army medic and paramedic, I've seen a lot of death. But nothing prepares you for losing someone you know, someone you worked with, someone who carried the same weight you did. Greg Turner died by suicide in the back of his ambulance. A place where he had saved countless lives. And that detail alone still wrecks me.This isn't a motivational speech.It's not a hot take.It's not sanitized mental health content.It's a raw, honest conversation about suicide, PTSD, grief, addiction recovery, and the long aftermath of survival.We talk about:The death of paramedic Greg TurnerFirst responder suicide and mental healthPTSD, trauma, and unspoken painWhy judging suicide misses the real storyGrief, survivor's guilt, and carrying the dead with youWhy people in uniform don't ask for helpWhat changed in me after losing a colleagueIf you're a first responder, veteran, nurse, therapist, teacher, or someone who's lost a loved one to suicide — this episode is for you.And if you're struggling right now, please know this:You're not weak.

Mindfulness for pain isn't candles and breathing apps.It's measurable, mechanism-based analgesia.In this episode, we break down what the neuroscience actually shows about mindfulness and pain modulation—and why it works through pathways completely independent of opioids.You'll learn:How mindfulness decouples sensation from suffering (insula vs. prefrontal activity)Why “trying to relax” can backfire—and what to cue insteadHow thalamic gating may reduce nociceptive input before conscious processingThe role of predictive processing and reduced anticipatory threat (amygdala + salience network)How shifting from narrative mode to experiential mode changes painWhy mindfulness still works even when endogenous opioids are blockedHow improved interoception supports emotional regulation in chronic painThis is not about turning your clinic into an eight-week meditation program. It's about understanding the mechanisms so you can apply brief, practical strategies in real sessions.If you work with complex or persistent pain, this reframes mindfulness as a clinical skill—not a wellness add-on.Subscribe so you don't miss Part Two, where we cover the dose-response data and the minimum effective dose.*********************************************************************

If you've ever said, “I understand why this happened, so I shouldn't still feel upset,” this episode is for you.Alicia explores why so many stepmoms intellectualize their emotions instead of processing them — and how that pattern quietly leads to resentment, burnout, and emotional shutdown.Stepmoms are often praised for being mature, understanding, and “handling things well,” but that praise can come at a cost. When feelings are constantly explained away instead of felt, they don't disappear — they get stored.This episode breaks down the difference between intellectualizing emotions and actually processing them, and why skipping the emotional “ouch” is one of the fastest ways resentment builds in blended families.In this episode, Alicia covers:The difference between understanding emotions and processing themWhy explaining feelings too quickly blocks emotional releaseHow resentment is created from unacknowledged painWhy stepmoms feel pressure to be “the mature one”What to do instead of reframing your feelings out of existenceThis episode offers stepmoms permission to feel first — without justification, explanation, or self-criticism.✨ Resentment to Relief builds directly on this work, teaching stepmoms how to safely feel emotions without spiraling, self-abandoning, or stuffing them down until they explode later.

If you feel like your workouts are “working”… but your body constantly hurts, this episode is going to change the way you think about strength training.Because the truth is: most people don't get injured because they're weak. They get injured because they're following programs that ignore how their body is actually built.In this episode of the Redefining Strength Podcast, I sit down with Dr. John Rusin. A world-renowned performance coach, physical therapist, and creator of the Pain-Free Performance system.Together, we break down:Why true strength isn't about specific exercises like squats, deadlifts, or bench pressWhy the “no pain, no gain” mindset is secretly sabotaging your progressHow forcing “perfect form” can actually be what's causing your painWhy there is no single ideal way to move—and how to find the best movements for YOUR bodyHow to build strength, muscle, and resilience without beating up your jointsThe biggest recovery mistake most people make (and how to fix it)Why doing less—at higher quality—often produces better resultsHow to train hard AND stay pain-free for lifeIf you've ever thought:“I'm getting stronger… but everything hurts.”“I feel like workouts are slowly breaking me down.”“I'm afraid to lift heavy because I don't want to get injured.”“I don't know which exercises are actually right for me.”This episode is for you.

After more than 20 years in practice, I've noticed there are certain treatment areas that consistently create change across a wide range of complaints. The key isn't the technique but understanding why these areas matter and when to address them.In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share five treatment regions I find myself coming back to again and again across elite athletes, Navy SEAL candidates, and complex cases. These are high-payoff regions that consistently influence the body as a whole when addressed with intention.In this episode, you'll learn:How nerve pathways and fascial relationships explain why these areas matter far beyond local painWhy sequencing matters more than the tool you're usingHow to apply these concepts without overcomplicating your sessionsThis episode isn't about adding more techniques, it's about sharpening your ability to recognize the areas that matter most in each session.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Episode 9: Left Side Sciatica or Right Side Shoulder Pain?Episode 26: Sartorius B.I.G.Episode 28: The Power Of The Trigeminal NerveEpisode 70: How The Trigeminal Nerve Could Supercharge Your PracticeEpisode 73: The Sartorius: It's More Powerful Than You ThinkEpisode 86: Decoding The Nervous System For Health Pros Episode 142: The Most Overlooked Skill In Clinical PracticeTreatment Video: Superior Gluteal Nerve GlideTreatment Video: Manual Technique For Superior Gluteal NerveTreatment Video: Neural Manipulation Technique For Superior Gluteal NerveOnline Course: Go-To Treatments For The Viscera & Nervous SystemLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Before the microphones were turned on, Richard Ashworth asked Brian for his birth information. What followed was an unexpected and deeply personal moment—Richard identified a pivotal event at age seven that reshaped Brian's view of life.He was right.In this episode of Grief 2 Growth, Brian and Richard explore how grief, destiny, and choice intersect—and how ancient systems like Bazi can help us understand the moments that quietly define us.This is a conversation about:Childhood loss and lifelong impactFate vs free willHealing heartbreak without bypassing painWhy grief is not something to “fix,” but something to listen toGuest InformationRichard Ashworth

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh is joined by DK Kang for a deeply honest and insightful conversation about chronic pain, resilience, and personal transformation.DK shares his own journey through long-term pain and how it became a powerful teacher in his life — guiding him to make necessary changes in mindset, nutrition, habits, and perspective. Rather than viewing pain as something to simply fight or suppress, DK explains how learning to listen to pain can reveal what needs to change for true healing to occur.The conversation explores:How pain can act as a teacher rather than just a symptomThe importance of mindset and personal responsibility in recoveryThe role of nutrition and daily habits in managing painWhy gratitude can be a powerful catalyst for healingPractical strategies for people currently struggling with painHow starting small and embracing failure can lead to lasting changeThe value of education, reading, and mentorship on the healing journeyThis episode is ideal for anyone living with chronic pain, recovering from injury, or wanting a more grounded, empowering perspective on health and healing.

What if manifestation isn't about thinking positive thoughts, but about what your nervous system is actually broadcasting to the universe? In this solo reflection, Will dives deep into the misunderstood idea of the “feel-good frequency”, not as spiritual bypassing, but as a practical intersection of consciousness, emotional healing, and real-world tools that support authentic spiritual awakening. Inspired by Rhonda Byrne's Countdown to Riches, this episode challenges a common trap in modern spirituality: trying to meditate your way out of unresolved emotional wounds. Instead, Will makes a grounded, sometimes uncomfortable case for why energy healing must be paired with 3D inner work, including therapy, shadow work, and emotional processing, if manifestation is ever going to stick. You'll explore:Why consciousness responds to emotion, not intentionHow suppressed experiences quietly block spiritual growth and abundanceThe difference between raising your frequency and avoiding your painWhy spiritual teachers increasingly emphasize integration over transcendenceSimple, immediate tools to shift your emotional state when life feels heavyHow genuine healing opens the door to intuition development and aligned actionThis episode is especially for seekers who love modern spirituality, but refuse to abandon logic, self-responsibility, or psychological truth in the process. If you've ever wondered why manifestation “works for everyone else,” or why your spiritual growth feels stalled despite doing all the right practices, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate—and very real—answer.Subscribe, Rate & Review!

Knee pain is one of the most common issues runners deal with — and also one of the most misunderstood.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Kameron Harder (DPT) of Ridge Athletics to break down why knee injuries happen in runners, how to treat them correctly, and what you can do right now to prevent them from coming back.We specifically dive into the two most common knee issues runners face:Runner's Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)IT Band SyndromeIf you've ever dealt with pain around the kneecap, sharp pain on the outside of the knee, or been told to “just stop running,” this episode will completely change how you think about knee injuries.In this episode, we cover:Whether running is actually bad for your knees (and what the research really says)Why knee pain is usually a signal, not an injuryThe biggest mistakes runners make when treating knee painWhy strength training — not rest — is often the missing pieceThe role your hips play in both runner's knee and IT band issuesWhat you can run through safely vs. when you should modify trainingWhy foam rolling your IT band doesn't work (and what to do instead)How to prevent knee pain from becoming a recurring cycleThis is the first episode in a monthly injury-prevention series designed to help runners stay healthy, consistent, and durable — so you can keep training and racing without constantly being sidelined.If knee pain has ever limited your running — or you want to make sure it never does — this episode is a must-listen.SHOW NOTES:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠desertpeakultra.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

We grow up believing that if someone truly loves us, they'll just know what we need. That love will automatically teach them how to comfort, protect, and show up in the right ways. But when betrayal or disconnection happens, that belief gets tested—and often shattered.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody talk about why love alone isn't enough to heal after betrayal. They explore how this belief shows up differently for the betrayed partner, the recovering partner, and the couple as a whole—and what it really takes to rebuild connection when love is present, but understanding is missing.Why betrayed partners often equate missed needs with being unlovableHow the belief “If you really loved me, you'd just know” traps both partners in painWhy recovering partners feel crushing pressure to get everything rightThe difference between love as a feeling and love as a daily practiceHow skill-building, vulnerability, and accountability transform love into safety______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.
