Today's live clears up three big themes that keep people stuck:Centralisation is good news—leg pain retreating to the low back usually means you're reversing the sciatica process. Don't “elephant-walk” your spine into more flexion to chase flexibility while it's healing.Relief that helps vs hurts—use massage gun, hamstring work (with a neutral spine), towel/bed decompression, and contrast bathing to manage end-of-day stiffness while you build strength. Skip the knee-hugs/rounded-back routines that tug on healing tissue.Exercise is the safest part of your day—with strategy + tutorials, squats/hinges are safer than the uncontrolled loads of daily life. If someone says “no squats,” ask how you're meant to stand up from a chair.We also cover hydrotherapy logistics (why the trip can provoke more than it helps early on), how to sit through a theatre show (recline/towel + fidget), home-gym buys (adjustable dumbbells/vests), nerve symptoms timelines, walking as a relief “micro-pump,” and more.Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:

Today we fix core engagement (use breathing-led bracing, not pelvic tucks), and we reframe the “best stretch for sciatica”: relief tools help short-term, but lasting change comes from technique → repeatability → then load on squat/hinge patterns. We also cover plateau-busting (micro-progress with smaller jumps & last-set tests), DOMS vs flare-ups, kit choices (DBs/KBs → barbell), where to read free education, osteoporosis safety, daily frequency when pain has shifted from sharp to dull, IDD expectations, knees-over-toes with BIS, incomplete cauda equina context, hip work for spondy, post-microdiscectomy principles, and even how to safely push a stuck door (brace first, then press).Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:

Today we break down why barbell hip thrusts/bridges often backfire during rehab—not because the rep itself is “bad,” but because the setup and dismount force uncontrolled rounding, plate shuffling, and awkward bar moves that can spike your lumbar load. Then we show the smarter path: use squat & hip-hinge patterns to rebuild a still, braced spine you can use in real life, and progress through Phase 1 ,2 , 3 , 4 with clear readiness checks (e.g., keeping up with 5×10 live pace, aggravation-free). We also cover why range vs load isn't a 50/50 race (build load tolerance first), what 40–90% more load when sitting really means, when inversion tables fit (relief, not strength), and practical Q&A from members.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-23-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with a passionate plea about E-bike safety after observing riders ignoring stop signs and wearing inadequate helmets in Santa Cruz. She explains the physics of collisions, noting that force equals mass times acceleration, and a car hitting an E-bike rider at 20 mph delivers impact equivalent to falling from a two-story building. She emphasizes that 97% of bike fatalities in New York involved helmetless riders, and brain injuries result from the brain striking the skull twice during impact - once on the impact side and again on the opposite side during deceleration. She urges drivers to honk at helmetless riders and calls for stricter helmet law enforcement. An emailer asks about hydroxyapatite in toothpaste. Dr. Dawn traces its origins to NASA research in the 1960s by Dr. Bernard Rubin studying crystal growth for preventing bone and tooth mineral loss in astronauts. Japanese company Sangi acquired the patent and created the first hydroxyapatite toothpaste by 1980, receiving official anti-cavity recognition in 1993. Studies show it matches fluoride's cavity prevention effectiveness by filling microscopic cracks where bacteria take root. It also relieves temperature sensitivity by sealing micro-fractures in enamel that expose the dentin layer, making it especially helpful for people who clench their jaws. Researchers from UC Berkeley and the Allen Institute used electrodes and lasers to study how mouse brains process optical illusions like the Kanizsa triangle. They discovered specialized IC encoder neurons in the visual cortex that fill in missing information, creating complete shapes from partial cues. When these pattern-completing circuits activate inappropriately, they may trigger hallucinations in conditions like schizophrenia. Dr. Dawn explains that illusions occur when the brain perceives something different from actual visual input, while hallucinations create perceptions with no external stimulus. She discusses frontotemporal dementia where visual hallucinations result from protein deposits in the occipital cortex, and notes that a 2021 British Journal of Psychiatry study found hallucination rates varying from 7% in young people to 3% in those over 70. An emailer describes unbearable chronic lumbar pain with degenerative disc disease shown on MRI. Dr. Dawn emphasizes that MRI findings don't necessarily correlate with pain levels, citing shopping mall studies showing equal degenerative changes in people with and without back pain. She stresses checking for sciatica symptoms including leg pain below the knee, sensory differences between sides, calf size asymmetry, and ability to walk on tiptoes and heels. Without these red flags, the degenerative disease likely isn't causing the pain. She warns against unnecessary surgery citing frequent "failed back" syndrome when surgery for a disk image doesn't "fix" the pain. She recommends water jogging with a ski vest, McKenzie exercises, abdominal strengthening, ergonomics, removing wallets from back pockets, and alternating heat and ice therapy. She discusses mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy for pain management. A caller references Daniel Levitin's book "Your Brain on Music," discussing research using functional MRIs showing distinct brain activation patterns in musicians versus non-musicians due to integrated auditory, visual, and kinesthetic training. Dr. Dawn describes how infant brains develop from three to six layers with increasingly complex synaptic connections resembling circuit boards. She highlights a blindfold study where college students' visual cortices began responding to sound within two weeks as the auditory cortex expanded. She shares her husband's remarkable recovery demonstrating adult brain plasticity through intensive rehabilitation. Learning new musical instruments helps dementia patients by activating multiple brain regions simultaneously and improving standard cognitive test performance. A caller describes an eight-day chest cold with thick white phlegm. Dr. Dawn recommends guaifenesin as a mucus-thinning expectorant to prevent bacterial growth in respiratory secretions that serve as "bacteria chow." She emphasizes the importance of current flu, COVID, and RSV vaccinations. Secondary bacterial infections develop when bacteria colonize viral-induced mucus in the lungs and invade tissues. She advises aggressive hydration and chicken soup, which research shows helps clear mucus. Another caller provides additional information about Daniel Levitin as a musicologist, neurologist, and musician who runs the Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise laboratory at McGill University.

In Episode 248 we give a clear tour of the program: where to find the Courses (Phases 1→4), how the Core Relief Work runs alongside training, how to use Strategy → Tutorials → Live Routine, and exactly how often to do the Phase 1 live workout. We also cover: belts/braces (why they don't protect L4/5–L5/S1), a safe bed-to-stand sequence, doorway-squat calibration for long femurs, how to pace training days (e.g., hamstrings after a hard day), sitting at work, and loads more member Q&A.

Your body is trying to heal every day—nerves and discs included. Today's live shows how everyday habits (the way you sit, stand up, bend, and “rest”) often block that process, and what to do instead: start with technical control (learn to brace and keep the spine still), then build capacity with the Core 5 (Dead Bug, Marching Bridge, Squat, Hip Hinge, Step-Up) before adding load. We cover realistic timelines, why bed-rest backfires, when clinic tools (IDD/laser) are useful, and how to use objective milestones to know you're improving. Q&A includes spondylolisthesis priorities, “dips & bench?”, bird-dog vs dead bug, microdiscectomy timelines, NHS vs private care, acupuncture, DDD labels, side plank, and load targets (20% → 45% → 100% body-weight).Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:

Worried you'll make a herniated disc or sciatica worse, so you do… nothing? Today's live explains why “doing nothing” usually means doing the wrong things all day (and staying stuck), and what to do first: education → strategy → tutorials → then careful practice. We show why daily life (chairs, shoes, kids, work) often provokes more than a controlled squat, how to troubleshoot towel vs bed decompression (including getting in/out safely), and simple gym setup wins (hello safety bars) that spare your back. We also cover why the Jefferson curl isn't a smart rehab driver, plus Q&A on AS/spondylo, post-microdiscectomy progress, spondylolisthesis goals, isometric holds, “can a disc bulge fully heal?”, and best sitting/posture tweaks.Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:

LeBron James to Miss Season Start Due to Sciatica Issue by Jaggy Sports

Today's live sorts popular “lower-back-pain stretches” into two buckets: the ones that feel good but slow healing (e.g., knee hugs/forward-flexion flossing, long dead hangs) vs the ones that actually help (towel or bed decompression done gently, with a neutral spine focus). You'll learn why repeated flexion eases symptoms but strains the injured L4/5–L5/S1 tissues, how to set up towel decompression safely (3–5 min), and when a dead hang is simply too aggressive for a recovering disc. We also cover sit-to-stand cues that stop the “lightning bolt” when you get up, mattress myths, hydrotherapy pitfalls, why planks provoke discs, and common anatomy variants (lumbarisation/Bertolotti) that don't change the rehab plan.Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:

In this conversation, Dr. Ashley Mak discusses the often misunderstood role of inflammation in the healing process, particularly in relation to sciatica pain. He explains the three main phases of tissue healing—acute inflammatory, proliferation, and maturation—and emphasizes that inflammation is a necessary part of recovery. The discussion also covers the causes of sciatica pain, the differences between acute injuries and chronic conditions, and the importance of managing inflammation through movement, nutrition, and sleep.Disc Healing/Resorption:Title: The Spontaneous Regression of a Herniated Lumbar Disc: A Review of the Literature and a Case ReportJournal: Pain PhysicianLink: https://www.painphysicianjournal.com/current/2017/March/Vol20-S1/PPJ_20-S1_S139.pdfMcKenzie Method and Directional Preference for Disc Pain:Title: Directional preference in the management of low back pain: a systematic reviewJournal: SpineLink: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17694119Medical Imaging Not Correlating with Pain:Title: Systematic literature review of imaging features of spinal degeneration in asymptomatic populationsJournal: American Journal of NeuroradiologyLink: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25433605Ice and Modern Healing Principles:Title: Revisiting the PRICE and RICE acronyms for soft tissue injury management: a systematic reviewJournal: Sports MedicineLink: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29243037Check out our favorite products!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I was listening to your podcast Can you cheat death (ep. 872) and you say your doctor should check your cholesterol, crp levels and homocysteine levels.. could you please tell us what the ranges are? Normal healthy levels? Please and thank you and happy healing to everyone                                      Melanie: I have the Essure device implanted for Birth control sterilization. They have since recalled it. I would like to get it removed but it is a risky procedure. I don't have specific problems from it but I was wondering if it could be contributing to some health problems I don't realize?                                                                       Geoff: Hello! What would you do to heal as quickly as possible after a gum procedure? I'm having my gum recession fixed and have a few things lined up to aid the healing process. Here's what I'm planning on using: hydrogen water tablets (3x/day on an empty stomach), the "Healing like Wolverine" peptide stack (BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, Ipamorelin), along with daily infrared sauna sessions. I also have some C60 oil that I'm considering. What else would you do? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question!! You and your team are the best! Hope you have a great day!   Mohamed: Good day Doctor Cabral. I am big fan of your work and have utilized many of equilifes products. I also regularly watch your YouTube videos and podcasts. Your work is incredible. My question is regarding bilateral sciatica pain (Nerve pain) which lead to pondylitic changes with nerve root impingement. How can I address this. What do I need to avoid or utilize. I know B1 is good for Nerve related issues. Please weigh in. Thanks                                                                        Sheena:  Hi  Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for answering my question. I'm 45 and starting to feel the effects of perimenopause. Hot flashes everyday and night, cant stay asleep because of it, bad break outs, and irregular prolonged periods. Fortunately no vaginal dryness but I don't doubt it will come soon! My endocrinologist suggested I could take low-dose birth control pill and says it'll help. I'm hesitant in taking something synthetic everyday as I know it could come with long term effects. I have been taking this organic tincture for menopause that includes sage, black cohosh, burdock, chasetree, dongquai and motherwort, it was really helping for about a year, but not as much anymore. Which is why I'm considering birth control pill. What are your thoughts and recommendations? You're the best!!    Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3473 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

From back surgery and chronic debilitating pain… to running, lifting, and moving freely again, I have my life back.5 years ago, I herniated two discs doing clean + jerk. I couldn't walk for weeks due to pain. I became obsessed with recovery and healed fairly quickly, but relapsed with worse pain a few years later after a chiropractic adjustment sent electric pain shooting down my leg and completely debilitated me.For years, I spiraled with pain, anger, fear, depression, drinking, and debt. I dropped out of university and spent two years living in fear, blaming others, and feeling stuck in the past. Out of desperation, I got a microdiscectomy. I expected everything to change. It didn't.A year post-surgery, still unable to run, lift, or feel normal, I joined the Whealth Limitless Programme. Having been a fan of “shirtless dude” on Instagram, I loved his meticulous approach, recognizing that you do have control despite chronic pain when everything tells you that you don't.The daily structure of the Limitless workouts helped me chip away at sciatica, back, hip, and full body pain pain, rebuild my strength, relearn how to move and lift, and ultimately get my life back.What changed everything?• Structure- a clear, step-by-step plan forward• Community- pain is isolating, but I wasn't alone anymore• Honesty- accepting where I was became the first step to changing itMost importantly, I learned from Whealth that you have a choice in chronic pain.Now, I'm lifting again, playing sports with friends, saying YES to life… and on **8/23, I'm running my first marathon to the hospital where I had surgery—**to show people in chronic pain what's possible.Every day isn't easy. But living pain-free is no longer the goal. Being stronger than yesterday is.Our Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters00:00 From Semi-Pro Athlete to Chronic Pain07:30 Disc Herniations, Sciatica, and Dropping Out15:00 How Pain Hijacked My Identity and Relationships22:30 The Injury That Came From a Chiropractor30:00 MRI Results, Surgery Pressure, and Doubt37:30 Why Taking Responsibility Was the Turning Point45:00 How the Whealth Program Changed My Mindset52:30 It Wasn't a Magic Fix — But It Was Progress1:00:00 How I Overcame Flare-Ups and Kept Going1:07:30 The Cost of Surgery vs. the Value of Whealth1:15:00 What Holistic Healing Actually Looks Like1:22:30 Why I Finally Started Therapy (and Why It Helped)1:30:00 Back Pain Forums, Reddit, and the Harm of Over-Googling1:37:30 How to Tune Into Your Body and Block Out Noise1:45:00 Advice to Anyone Facing Chronic or Mental Pain1:52:30 What Life Looks Like Now — and Why I'm Grateful

Welcome to a very special episode of All the Feelings, brought to you by REM sleep, tennis elbow, and the visceral horror of trying to put on socks like you're still in your 30s.This week, Pete and Tommy are pulling a two-for-one special: first, they dive into the dreamscape of adult anxiety—why our nighttime brains love to drop us in college final exams we never studied for and why Tommy keeps losing his car in a parking garage that exists only in the astral plane. Then, they shift to the nighttime betrayals of the body: the mysterious transformation from human being to fragile pile of orthopedic complaints, where simply “sleeping” can result in injuries typically reserved for Olympic gymnastics.Along the way, we get hot tips from Tommy's therapist (shout-out to Bonnie!), dream science from the BBC, and Pete's personal musculoskeletal origin story—which involves surprise vertebra fusion, leg-length inequality, and an orthotic insert named Steve. There's also a powerful case made for the humble foam roller, a pony running off with Tommy's Mazda, and a rare Greek myth about moon-gazing lovers that ends, predictably, in a curse.If you've ever woken up more injured than you were when you went to bed, if you've ever texted your group chat just to be out-sympathied by someone who dislocated their shoulder sneezing, or if you've ever been haunted by the ghost of your own plantar fascia, this one's for you.Support the show at allthefeelings.fun and become a Feeling Friend today—for early episodes, bonus content, and a front-row seat to Pete's ever-expanding sneaker collection.

With chronic low back pain and sciatica it's natural to be afraid of flare ups. It's natural to want to protect your spine from reinjury. You've been told to fear your spine, and you've been told your discs are fragile. The truth is the body is incredibly resilient and adaptable. Healing is possible. We need to know how to push into a little discomfort without overdoing it in order to recover from chronic back pain or sciatica and get active again through exercise.

Austin was just 18 when doctors told him he'd never lift over 50 pounds again. Doctors told him surgery was inevitable.Diagnosed with two disc bulges (L5-S1 + L4-L5) and sciatica, he faced constant back pain and the looming pressure of surgery. He tried physical therapy, YouTube rehab videos, injections, and everything the traditional system had to offer but nothing worked.Then he found the Limitless Program and was pain-free in 5 weeks (program here: https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-program)In this episode, Austin shares how he completely rewired his mindset around pain and movement. He breaks down what Limitless taught him that PT and YouTube never could - like how pain is information, why there's no one “right” way to move, and how he stopped living in fear of his body.What started with being able to load the dishwasher pain-free turned into walking 9+ miles a day at Disney, reclaiming his lifting goals, and helping others do the same as a strength and conditioning coach.Topics covered:L5-S1 disc herniation and chronic back painHow to heal without surgeryWhy physical therapy and YouTube rehab failedThe mindset shift that changed everythingHow Limitless gave Austin his life backFear of movement vs. confidence through guidanceHow pain is just information — not a life sentenceIf you're searching for:-How to fix an L5-S1 disc bulge naturally-Healing sciatica without surgery-Back pain rehab that actually works-Why physical therapy didn't work for me-How to stop fearing pain and start healing-Functional rehab for athletes-Real stories from people who avoided spine surgery…this episode is for you.Our Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters00:00 Doctors Said I'd Need Surgery01:42 What the MRI Showed: L5-S1 Disc Bulge03:05 “Surgery, surgery, surgery”05:53 Walking Out on Traditional Healthcare07:50 “I Might Never Back Squat Again”09:15 Depression, Isolation, and Daily Struggles12:00 Finding the Limitless Program13:40 First Big Win: Loading the Dishwasher Without Pain15:43 Pain Sucks Physically — But Destroys You Mentally17:57 “Everything I Have I Attribute to Limitless”24:45 I Couldn't Even Drive or Go to the Store44:11 I Don't Fear Pain Anymore — I Fix It1:05:11 Disney Trip I Thought I'd Miss — I Walked 9 Miles a Day

Sciatic nerve pain can be caused by a protruded disc, scar tissue on the nerve root, arthritis, an injury, or extended periods of sitting. Poor posture, excess driving, and aging can also contribute to the problem.Inversion uses the weight of your upper body to pull down on your lower back, creating negative pressure and increasing blood flow. This also breaks up adhesions and scar tissue. For the quickest lower back pain relief, try intermittent inversion traction. This involves inverting your body for 1 to 2 minutes and then repeatedly returning to an upright position. It can significantly reduce sciatic nerve pain by targeting the nerve, disc, scar tissue, and blood flow all at once.Research has shown that inversion therapy increases flexibility, reduces the risk of surgery for sciatica, and can relieve lower back pain better than medication. If you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, or heart problems, check with your doctor before doing inversion therapy. Start slow with inversion therapy. Begin with a gentle angle of 15–30 degrees for just 1–2 minutes, once or twice a day for the first week. Gradually work up to 5 minutes at a time (in 1-minute intervals) at a 60-degree angle over the next 1–2 weeks. After 3–4 weeks, you can try full inversion for 15–20 minutes, broken into 2-minute intervals, three to four times per week.Intermittent inversion traction will leave you feeling taller with less sciatic nerve pain. You'll also feel like you've had a fantastic stretch! Other ways to eliminate sciatica pain include:•Following a low-carb ketogenic diet•Take 20,000 to 30,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 400 mg of magnesium glycinate (include vitamin K2)•Eliminate omega-6 seed oils from your diet•Perform myofascial stretching You can also perform sciatica stretches without an inversion table! Try the child's pose with blankets, a wall-assisted leg-up stretch, or lying spinal decompression with a stability ball for sciatic nerve pain relief. Swimming can also be very therapeutic.
