Podcast appearances and mentions of sue hitzmann

In this first-ever "HALO Talks Live" episode held at Sid's Gym in NYC on October 17 2024 to a packed house, we dove deep into everything from fitness innovation, building a brand from the ground up, deciding to 'break the mold' of the fitness space, guerilla marketing, and a ton more with legendary Crunch Fitness founder Doug Levine. Host Pete Moore and Doug explored Crunch's creative, unorthodox beginnings, from viral marketing campaigns to avant-garde classes like aerial yoga and others.  Sue Hitzmann, visionary creator of the world famous MELT Method (and also a Crunch veteran from the early days & HALO Talks alum!) started us off and discussed the importance of fascia health for true body wellness, emphasizing proactive self-care, how 'recovery' has changed over the years, the importance of proper trainer education, why facilities should strongly consider getting their instructors up to speed on the methodology, and more.  Levine was the driving force behind Crunch Fitness, and he transformed the fitness industry by fostering a unique sense of community. Under his leadership and working side by side with Roger Harvey--Crunch's first COO of 12 years--Crunch defied the stereotype of a massive, impersonal corporation. Instead, it became a closely-knit environment where instructors bonded, attended each other's classes, and learned collectively. Doug ensured that the instructors felt valued and well-compensated, emphasizing personal investment in their growth. His vision extended beyond group exercise to personal training, establishing a comprehensive, supportive, and thriving fitness community. Doug not only built a successful brand but literally revolutionized the health club experience. On the early days of advertising Levine recalls, "So nobody knows this, but . . . Time Warner didn't like running people's local ads. Local ads, when they introduced it into New York, were largely Midas muffler shops, Jiffy Lubes, etc. They were franchises that had ads produced by corporate and they could afford. But our deal with Time Warner was that--because they loved the creativity of Crunch's ads--we would get almost all of their unsold inventory. So basically, we would spend $10,000 a month and get a half a million worth of ads, or or whatever their unsold inventory was for many, many years!"  We also want to acknowledge Sid Raman (another HALO Talks alum!) from Xpriential on his patented treadmill, which blends cutting-edge technology with incredible, immersive exercise experiences. These treadmills are game-changing and do not exist anywhere else in the world (yet!) Whether it's franchising insights, AI's role in fitness, branding, risk-taking, the evolution of wellness trends and more. . . this one runs the gamut!  Key themes discussed Sue Hitzmann--MELT Founder--explores fascia's role in pain. Self-treatment technique for physical and emotional health. Medication masks symptoms; addressing root causes critical. In a key move, Crunch evolved to a recurring, monthly membership. Evaluating on-brand, trendy group exercise programs. New, innovative 'boutique fitness trends' attract interest. Cool, diverse brand, universal language, special plac and community. Building a brand from scratch is incredibly complex! A few key takeaways:  1. Innovation and Creativity in Fitness: Doug emphasized the importance of unique and creative fitness programs, such as Crunch's iconic drag queen and aerial yoga classes, which helped set the brand apart and establish new trends in the industry. The organization's ability to leverage creativity instead of relying solely on traditional KPI's was crucial to its early success. 2. Embracing New Advertising Methods: Doug shared an inspiring story about utilizing creative local TV advertising to market Crunch, leveraging free resources from advertising professionals who were members and huge fans of the brand. This strategy was a part of Crunch's PR-driven marketing approach that insisted on standing out without high costs, demonstrating the power of ingenuity in growing a brand from scratch.  3. Importance of Fascia Health: Sue Hitzmann discussed how fascia health impacts overall bodily function, joint stability, and mobility—highlighting that repetitive movements can lead to problems in the fascia, causing joint issues and inflammation. She argued against merely masking symptoms with medication, stressing the need for proper self-care to address the root causes of pain. 4. Experiential Fitness Technology: Sid Raman introduced an innovative treadmill simulator that combines hardware, software, and AI to offer immersive movement experiences through virtual reality. This "experiential" fitness equipment provides diverse, entertaining activities suitable for all ages, showcasing the future of tech-enhanced workouts. 5. Franchising and Community Building: Doug and Pete discussed the challenges and rewards of growing Crunch through franchising. Despite the potential for dilution, maintaining an inclusive community and vibrant culture at each location remains vital. The conversation underscored the importance of early franchisee buy-in and mentorship for successful brand expansion, 'transferring' the original company's DNA into new franchises.

Fascia and feeling good. You'll be hard-pressed to find more of an expert on those two topics than Sue Hitzmann, creator of the MELT Method—a pioneering self-treatment that can ease and prevent pain while it boosts performance.A fitness star turned sought-after neurofascial science educator, Sue is an internationally recognized manual therapist, exercise physiologist, and founding member of the Fascia Research Society. But she's most known as the dynamic creator of the MELT Method—her innovative self-care technique became the topic of her New York Times best-selling book, The MELT Method, and its 2019 follow-up, MELT Performance.In a word, Sue's knowledge of human anatomy could be called encyclopedic. And her passion for helping others create astounding, measurable change in their bodies is evident in every lecture, training, and class she leads. Her empathy for people in pain began with her own journey out of a debilitating case of plantar fasciitis and experiences as a manual therapist. Driven by curiosity and a quest for a holistic understanding of pain and the effects of aging, her thousands of hours of neurofascial research and clinical application with clients laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most game-changing techniques to hit the wellness and fitness industries—MELT. This groundbreaking, clinically proven program offers a do-it-yourself answer to the root cause of issues rather than temporary relief. It's the antithesis to surgery, pills, and ‘put a bandage on it' approaches. As Sue's private practice grew, she painstakingly developed custom soft rollers and hand and foot treatment balls—consistencies designed to restore calm and efficiency in the body by mimicking a therapist's touch—giving her clients, and eventually the world, the power to learn to heal themselves. Today, countless people have used MELT to restore their whole-body efficiency and discover a newfound sense of vibrancy and health. Since MELT's arrival in the early 2000s, Sue has personally trained thousands of certified MELT instructors from around the world. MELT has been integrated into the practices of medical doctors, massage therapists, pilates and yoga instructors, fitness professionals, and more. She currently divides her time between New York City and the Florida coast. More about SueSue's qualifications include certifications in neuromuscular, craniosacral, and lymphatic drainage therapies. She earned her Masters in Exercise Science at NYU.Sue has been a leading presenter for national organizations such as IDEA, ECA, and PMA.Through MELT, she's an accredited continuing education provider for ACE, AFAA, NASM, PMA, and NCBTMB.She's appeared on podcasts and television programs like Nightline, The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, and The Rachael Ray Show.MELT has been featured in magazines including SELF, More, Prevention and many others. Prior to MELT, she appeared in some of the top-selling fitness videos of all time. She's held a private manual therapy practice since 1998, working with clients who suffer from a wide range of issues, injuries, disorders, diseases, and dysfunctions.

How familiar are you with your connective tissue, also known as your fascia? If you listened to season 14 you heard me talk some about it, particularly in episode 6 where we talked about how transverse exercises are so helpful to our connective tissue and important for preventing injury.In fact, I've been so fascinated by this tissue that in my book, Your Worthy Body, acknowledgments to my three men, I said “being the husband and children of a health geek isn't easy. You hear way more about the fascia than you want and I know I'm bossy in the gym.” (All true, by the way)But, I haven't had an opportunity to talk with an expert on fascia on the show - until now. My guest, Sue Hitzmann, literally wrote the book on fascia and connective tissue. Sue brings so much information on our connective tissue and the conversation took an unexpected but fascinating turn when we talked about the connecting between your fascia and gut health. We discuss:What is fascia, and how it differs from other connective tissueAre there different types of connective tissueWhy your water and fluid intake isn't correlated with how hydrated your connective tissue isHow to hydrate your fascia The connection between hydrated connected tissue and your gut healthWhat happens to our fascia as we ageHow collagen supplements can help your connective tissueWhy knee pain and issues may be helped with hydrating and focusing on your fascia The connection between our connective tissue and emotional pain and stressThe 4 Rs Protocol of connective tissue careThe relationship between altered tension in connective tissue and painHow MELTing can be incorporated into an already busy lifestyleConnect with Sue:MeltMethod.comInstagram: @MeltMethodFacebook: @MeltMethodTwitter: @Melt_MethodYouTube: Melt MethodShop the Soft Body Foam Roller here on AmazonConnect with Amy: GracedHealth.comJoin the Graced Health community on Facebook!

If you haven't listened to the episode, feel free to pause this now and go back and listen to that one so that you can listen to this one and all the good things or listen to this one and then go listen to that one, you could do you. And that's it Sue Hitzmann does. So, I think she'd be very excited for you to do it the way you want to do it.Brad Crowell  She does, she's amazing.Lesley Logan  She she really is. Like she is the proof of like, your curiosity and leading it down the path and and and also like how everything happens for you even including the question she was asked. So real quick, my loves, I want to hear from you. Like I really want to hear from you. I want to hear your opinions. And so this podcast has been out for a year, over a year now. Oh my God over a year now. (Brad: Yeah) 14 months. And maybe you just found us in this your first episode. Great. You can do the survey. Maybe listen to every single episode. And this is like 100 and I don't know. It's a lot. Brad's gonna pipe in and tell me what it is. But anyways, if you listen all, I really want to hear from you. So go to beitpod.com/tellme.Brad Crowell  This will be episode 124. (Lesley: 124. Holy cow.) That's pretty insane. But seriously, though, 124 episodes and we need your help. We are very interested in understanding how you're enjoying the pod. And you know, what if the segments if you like the segments, if you look forward to the recaps, or if you enjoy the interviews more, or we've even thrown in a few solo episodes and what your experience was with those. So go to beitpod.com/tellme t e l l m e. (Lesley: Yup)Lesley Logan  All right, we had an audience question and I really liked this one. I was like, ah, it was a nice little DM I got from someone and I can I totally could feel her, like I could feel the frustration, worry, fear, wonder all at one time. So what is that question, Brad?Brad Crowell  So it's just basically, I have a small home studio, and love teaching, but I feel like my clients move their sessions around all the time. Did you have this problem when you were doing that? Well, we can answer that. How can I get them to stick to the original schedule without losing them as a client or without losing my time, teaching them and rearranging them? So that's a great question. Just to throw this out there. We never had a home studio.Lesley Logan  Well, we do now.Brad Crowell  Yeah. That doesn't count. We're not taking clients at our own studio. (Lesley: Right, right, right, right) So of course, we have a home studio. But my point is, when we were doing this process, we didn't actually have a home studio, (Lesley: Yeah) however, you were a, you were renting from someone else as a true, independent contractor. You controlled your own schedule, you brought in your own clients, all those kinds of things. So while you didn't have a home studio, you still had to deal with exactly this problem.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I was just gonna say that. Like, it doesn't actually matter where if you have a home studio that small, a studio that's big, a brick and mortar or you go to people's houses, like when you're when you have people who scheduled time with you, it is inevitable that people are going to want to change the time every once in a while and like, look, things come up. But what I'm hearing from this as a lack of boundaries. And also, here's the here's a real truth, we treat people how, we train people how to treat us. And so what it sounds like to me, and this is not offensive to you. And if you're listening to this, and it's what I'm about to say, hits it home for you is a lot of times we're like, I just I just need people to say yes, so we especially in the beginning, we bend over backwards, like literally and do hoops and jumps of things to get clients because we think if we discount ourselves or if we're really easy going and changing the time or changing their schedule whenever they want to that we get to keep clients and grow our business, but you actually don't. So you're gonna spending more time changing people's schedule around. So here's what I'm gonna say to you whether you have a small home studio brick and mortar or not. If you live in the US, you need my scheduling tool, period, end of story it and if you don't live in the US, you need a scheduling tool. And if you're still like, "I don't think this is the right answer, Lesley." Then come to this webinar that I'm doing. It's profitablepilates.com/answers. So profitablepilates.com/answer and actually going to talk about how to pick a scheduling tool and all the reasons why you think you don't need one but you do. And this is one of those things. If you had someone who is a barrier, or something that was a barrier to them being able to just text you whenever they want, and change the schedule around, you would actually not feel like a bad guy. So if they're, like, out to lunch with their friends are like, "Oh, hey, can we go to the beach tomorrow?" And they're like, "Oh, I have Pilates. Let me see if I can move that." They're gonna go onto your tool, and they're gonna go, "Oh, there's nothing available. I can't move it." There not gonna ... (Brad: Yeah or they just have to cancel all together.) Or they cancel together. (Brad: And that's their choice.) And they either are charged or it's early, but it's all them and it's not you. And so you don't feel like you have to be both the teacher and the bodyguard to the schedule ....Brad Crowell  Yeah, I think that's one of the biggest points is like it really does remove the awkward conversations. They can sign your waiver it right there in the app, they've agreed to your cancellation policy. And as long as, as when they go in, if you've got a 24 hour cancellation policy, and they're at 23 hours and 59 minutes, and they cancel, they will be get late charged. And you don't have to have that awkward conversation with them because the app did it for you. Right. (Lesley: Yeah) So there's just so many benefits of having an app like this. I think another one that I love, is that allows you to take your text messages back. (Lesley: Yeah, yeah) And that is again, boundaries, (Lesley: And that's ...) right? Because it allows you to go, "Oh, my text messages, what a relief. Are my friends and family. They're not my job, and not somebody potentially canceling on me last minute."Lesley Logan  Yeah. (Brad: Yeah) And so just to go back to your thing about your fear of losing a client. You don't want to keep a client who's changing their schedule, all the freaking time. (Brad: Right) I used to have a client who would like literally, she had two, two standing appointments a week. And literally one day, every week, she texts me, "Hey, can I move it to one o'clock today? Do you have anything else available today?" And I here's what I thought I, I had a scheduling tool. She wasn't using it, I had to literally go, "Did you check the time? You didn't check the time." So sorry, or I just didn't, I literally wouldn't respond to her. (Brad: Right) Because you have to train them how to treat you. And I am not a like, what is it like big like, you're like (Brad: beck and call) beck and call. I'm not your beck and call girl, I learned that from Pretty Woman. Another great thing you can learn from that movie. (Brad laughs) So don't take less than 100. Call me when you're through. Alright, so but seriously, like that, clears your sessions. But truthfully, I don't care how small you think your business is. You absolutely deserve time away from your business. And you deserve people to respect your time, the only way they can respect your time is if there's a barrier between you and that time. And that is as a tool. So come to ...Brad Crowell  But think about it like this, think about this. Could you imagine that you go to let's just say we all had a parent who, you know, worked at a bigger company. Right? And your, your, your parent had a meeting scheduled with the President of the company. And then like, two hours before the meeting, your parent calls up, the President says, "Hey, can you just move back like in an hour? Or would that be cool, like, is that alright?" Like, "No, fuck no." They would be mortified through it. There's, and there's, you know, because when we look at it, like it's like, a job and the boss and all that stuff, we somehow have this different perception that you being the boss, you being (Lesley: And you're the President of the company.) you are the President of your company, and your your clients are like, "You know, is it cool if like, we just kind of shifted around, I just needed to be like, 12 minutes after the hour instead of like," I mean, it's so crazy that we allow people to do that.Lesley Logan  Yeah. And so and also, by the way, I know you're like "but I need referrals." You want this person's friend? Do you really want this person's friend? Like no seriously like, do you want their friends because they are ... (Brad: They are all the same.) They're all the same. They're (Brad: Yeah) all like them. They're all like them, bouncing around like, oh, everybody does whatever they, I want. No, you don't like you don't and like maybe their friends are different. Are they? Have you ever seen that in real life? Like, are your friends different than you? Okay, so maybe like I had this one friend. Yeah. And I bet you have boundaries with them. (Brad: Yeah. Right.) And if you don't put them on your scheduling tool. Okay, go to profitablepilates.com/answer to sign up for this free webinar. It's going to be a lot of fun. Okay,Brad Crowell  Yeah, we're actually going to do it live on August 10. And then there will be, it will be available for the replay for those of you who may not have been able to join us live. SoLesley Logan  If you're hearing this on August 17th, 20th, it's a whole different year. You're just binging out, hi, hello, you can still watch it.Brad Crowell  Yeah. Awesome.Okay, now let's talk about Sue Hintzmann. As a fitness professional, who was told there was no cure for her plantar fasciitis, she decided to discover her own way to heal her pain. She is the founder and creator of The MELT Method, which is now internationally known and has thousands of teachers teaching a method by the way, which is a simple self discovery, self-care technique that addresses the missing link to back pai... to pain free living. Sue is on a mission to help share her knowledge and empower people to learn how to care for themselves better, so that they too can lead active pain free lives as long as possible.Lesley Logan  I love it. She's super passionate about it. And, and like whether or not you even have heard The MELT Method, whether or not you're like this even like resonates with you. Here's the deal, your you her passion and like persistence, is what's gotten her where she is. And she just followed that. And I think a lot of times we get stuck on an obstacle, which is going to lead into my talking point. And like I hear her talking point that she brought up, it's like, we have to stop thinking an obstacle is a sign that you're not supposed to do, the thing that you're gonna do. The obstacle is, uh, is just there to see if you're gonna fight for it. Are you gonna keep going? Like if we gamify this, right, you get up to a some sort of like, evil thing on your game and you like, "Ah, you know what, too hard. I'm not meant to play this." No way. People who played they just like they just keep buying it, like, "I'm gonna find a different way. I'm gonna get, I have a level of stuff. I gotta go learn this thing. I go learn this tool." But for whatever reason, we're willing to do that on a game, whether it's a board game, whether it's a card game, or like, "Oh, I'm gonna collect some more cards." I don't care if you play video games, or like actual physical games, every type of game requires you to skill, like up level of skill and move forward. They all have obstacles that you have to learn how to get over. But somehow in life, we see a failure as some sort of obstacle. And we're like, that's a sign I'm not supposed to do it. I don't like that makes zero sense to me. I don't have the brains and like to listen, live in dissonance. And somehow we've managed to find a loophole. So when she talks about how you are not going to you're not getting ahead if you don't fail. (Brad: Right) I love that because every single one of you is going to fail. In fact, the more things you try, it's a numbers game, you're gonna fail more times and you succeed, period. Like people who like Olympic athlete track runners, they lose more races and they win. Basketball players lose more games, and they win like it is on average. And ...Brad Crowell  Also too, I think if you look at another another statistic that is like, hilarious is baseball, hitting ...Lesley Logan  Oh my God, it frustrates me so much, (Brad: Right) It can be the crappiest baseball player ...Brad Crowell  ... He has a point for hit a batting average. And you're like, "That's four out of 10 times he hit the ball. Four out of 10." (Lesley: And that's good.) And that's a great one. Lesley Logan  I gave feedback to this one company. And I'm like, "All these matches are like 63%. Do you have anything that's better than a D plus." Like, "Oh, no, that's actually really good. That's like a high percentage point." So basically, you're not getting you move forward in your business and your life and the things you want unless you fail. And Brené Brown says in her dare to lead book she's talking about like vulnerability in the workplace. And also like, being more inclusive and in in your efforts. You're going to fuck it up. In fact, the more you try to be better as a leader, the more changes you make to be more inclusive, you're going to fuck it up. And that's okay. It's about acknowledging, wow, that was a mistake. Okay, understand what, I learned from it. (Brad: Yeah) Make the apologies and move to the next thing. And so anyways, if you want to get ahead of where you are today, if you're like, "Yeah, I don't want to live at this level of my life for the rest," like, like, make sure the (Brad: I mean ...) rest of your life (Brad: Yeah) you are going to have to fail. So just get used to it.Brad Crowell  That's where the analysis paralysis comes into. Because you are so worried about failing that you are just thinking through it every time and you never do any action. And like, really, I'm not saying that you just blunder your way through things. (Lesley laughs) I'm not recommending that. That's not what I'm saying here. But you by just the nature of life, you are going to you're going to run into a speed bump and it's going to derail something and then you know, whatever metaphor you want to mix here, you're gonna drop a plate you're gonna. The way that If you learn is, oops, something went wrong, or something almost went wrong. Well, I better be conscious of that as we're moving forward.Lesley Logan  Yeah. And like, I don't remember where we heard this, but nothing is going to be as great in your mind as you think it's like, "Oh, my God can be like this, and nothing is going to be as bad." So even if you fail, (Brad: Oh right.) it's rarely going to be the worst case scenario.Brad Crowell  Right. So like, you know, in our minds, we imagine ourselves, walking on stage and being this beautiful, perfect thing, and we get there and like, it didn't quite go the way we wanted it in our mind. (Lesley: It could still be amazing.) And, but, and probably it was amazing. And conversely, if you trip falling at one, you're exiting that stage, in your mind, you're like, I just embarrass myself in front of seven and a half billion people on this planet, and no one's ever gonna want to talk to me again. And now I can't go get a job and no one's gonna marry me. And I, life might as well be over. And we take it to this incredible extreme on both ends. And in reality, probably everyone, "Oh, they just tripped." Okay, you know like ...Lesley Logan  ... we're going off on a tangent, but I was just having coffee with someone who like talked about someone else doing something that was like a total like, would have been considered a total blunder. And she goes, "I am more inspired now than ever, because that person is to this level of me and they did this. And that gives me permission." (Brad: Yeah) So basically, knock it up, as many times as you can see, learn the lesson and you get to the next level.Brad Crowell  Don't intentionally, but (Lesley: Well, don't intentionally, but don't don't ...) But don't let that stop you from moving forward. Don't let this ...Lesley Logan  Don't let fear of the fuck up, keep you from going to the next thing. And if you fail, dust yourself off, do a little reflection, set like time and then go to the next thing. (Brad: Yeah) You know, unless you die, you're you got options.Brad Crowell  You know, we do this (Lesley: so dark) We do this in our business every single time we hold an event, even events that we're great at, like things that we know we did well, at the end of the event, we have this reflection time where we say ...Lesley Logan  I call it an autopsy probably you don't like that so much. Or post mortem. I'm ...Brad Crowell  Post mortem. That was really funny. But ...Lesley Logan  Let's do post mortem.Brad Crowell  Yeah (Lesley: and their like well Lesley...)The end of it. You know, we look back and we say what went amazingly well, and we celebrate our wins. And then what could have gone better? And we take notes and we leave ourselves notes for the next time. So you know, it's just part of moving forward in life in general. So, anyway I love that. That's a great talking point.Lesley Logan  What did you love?Brad Crowell  Yeah. She kind of casually threw this in there. She said she began to believe the myth that if she was eating right and exercising, right, then she would be healthy and have a pain free life. And I just turned 40. Lesley Logan  Yeah. How's that going for you?Brad Crowell  Yeah, fucking hurt myself already. (Lesley and Brad laughs) And I was like, really, really? Sorry for that really loud F bomb right there. But seriously, I like I hurt my back on the day after I turned 40, you know ... I'm laughing about it. But ...Lesley Logan  ... in your 40s defense, you actually hurt your back in your 30s. But you have (Brad: I did.) been able to kind of like blow like, no I think about it. Now think about your thing. And you know, you do live a very healthy life. But (Brad: Yeah) healthy, but but I think you know, this goes back to Jenny Schatzle's episode where she's like, stop doing things in the name of health. Like you're just like, it's like, like, health is out there. Just like, we've got all these things like this is health and it's not healthy. You move intentionally often and, and you've been doing it for a long time. But that doesn't mean it's it's like you have like a like an armor suit around you where you'll never feel pain or have injuries like ...Brad Crowell  Right. Yeah, and I think but I think that, you know, you you the myth about that eating right and exercising right leads to a healthy life. It's not necessarily the case. And you know, I'm I feel I'm counting my blessings that I'm starting to realize this in my late 30s, early 40s. With with regard to Sue Hitzmann. She was like at her prime. She was 28 she said when she had she's already been speaking around the world. She's got a like, a hugely popular DVD series. She's teaching people all the fitness stuff and she's telling all the stuff and at 28 she woke up one day and her feet hurt so much that it impacted her entire body, not just her not just walking and dancing and stuff. She started to feel, she it really affected all of her ..She started to seek medical help, she started to go to the doctor and the doctor was was telling her, you know, "Oh, it must be this. Oh, it must be there. Oh, it must be this." And then she finally had a doctor say, "Oh, well, I think you're just depressed." Right. And she's like, "Yeah, no shit, I'm depressed. I can't do what I've been doing my whole life that I'm really amazing at. And now I'm like, out of my own game." And I'm feeling that so that it doesn't surprise me. Right. And then she started to learn about fascia, right? And she started to really dig into how does it work? And she said, she actually spent she just disappeared from the fitness world for four years. So imagine that being like, you know, in the limelight, on TV, doing, you know, travel around the world, all the stuff. And then poof, four years she disappeared. Right. And when she came back, it was armed with this all this knowledge and understanding of how she had begun to feel better. And and how her how changing the way she treated her fascia changed the way her body responded. And she is, I mean, way more knowledgeable about than me, but she doesn't look like she's in her 50s. (Lesley: No) And that's for darn sure. So she's like, convinced it has everything to do with that as well.Lesley Logan  And also just another another example of like, your rock bottom is happening for you. Like, like, took her out at the top of her game. (Brad: Yeah) But what top in air quotes, because look where she's at now that (Brad: Right) she wouldn't be there if she had had, like, if she had, what if this had happened to her at 45? And then she's like, "Got it." Like, you know what I mean? Like, I feel like we I feel like it happened exactly what I was supposed to that so she can actually have another level. So anyways, I'm into it.Brad Crowell  Yeah, I mean, and if you didn't listen to her, her pod, or her episode, she created The MELT Method based on this experience. And then she began, one thing that really impressed me too. And I thought this was an incredible perspective was she said, "People would come into my studio, and I kept thinking, like, how how they keep coming back the next week? (Lesley: Yeah) How can I get them so that they don't have to come back next week." And that's what she started to create this, like systematic approach, which turned into The MELT Method. And she said, it, if I "My goal was to empower my clients, so that they didn't need me that they could go do this on their own, with maintenance at home. And they didn't need any crazy, like, you know, huge, like, pieces of equipment or gear or any of that stuff, just a couple of small things, and some understanding of what to do." And she said her clients started to have her feet stop hurting. And then her hus... she called and said, "My husband has back pain. Can you help me, help him?" And so it became this thing. And, and you two talked about, you know, that fear of losing a client, like, "Oh, they're not coming in anymore. Like, I don't know what's going to happen?" And she said, "Well, yeah, okay. Instead of me managing 50 clients a year, that continued to come back, suddenly, I was managing 500 clients a year because I didn't need to see them quite as often."Lesley Logan  Making a much more massive impact ...Brad Crowell  Yeah, she's having a bigger foot.Lesley Logan  And also like, "Are you helping me people maintain the status quo? Are we helping them actually, like, level up and move forward?" I've that's what I mean, like, you know, it's, it's one of the reasons why we similarly to why we created OPC is, I actually want you to be your own teacher. I do. I want you to be able to like, tell yourself, "This is there, so I'm choosing for myself right now." And that's what we're empowering you to do every single week in those classes. And so I think it is so is like, like, just, like the perfect example of like an abundance mindset. Like if you're struggling with, "What it's an abundance mindset?" It's called 'Helping people so much, they don't need you anymore'. (Brad: Yeah) And then they send you or their friends, because guess what, everybody's going to be in pain at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, that's just the nature of how it works because we don't take care of ourselves until it's too late. You know, so (Brad: We're not taught too ..) well, not here I think that other places in the world do. (Brad: Yeah) And if you know those places, let me know maybe I'm relocating.Brad Crowell  But anyway, I will continue to relay my 40's to for the next 10 years. SoLesley Logan  Yeah. He will. (Brad: Buckel up.) Yeah. And he's gonna do it all on his own for at least more six months. But still, I'm there with him. But we're gonna work on this back thing. Okay, BE IT action items.Brad Crowell  What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your conversation with Sue Hitzmann? I am going to read a little bit from what she said towards the end, she said, "Do you call somebody every once in a while and just just to call them out of the blue and say, 'I love you'? You know, and here's why I love you." She said, "Bring positivity into your life and to try and try to find those things that elevate you. And you will start to realize that you need to take specific actions to get you to that next place." But ...Lesley Logan  It's such a BE IT moment.Brad Crowell  It's such a BE IT moment. And she said, but well actually, I'm gonna leave the but to to to it ties perfectly in with what you're going (Lesley: Yeah) to talk about. So ...Lesley Logan  Before we get into what I'm talking about, there's there's a woman whose name is escaping me but she's amazing. Anyways, she talks about how if you need positivity, go give positivity. If you need love, go give love. If you need to be seen, go see people. And it is that 'be it till you see it' kind of a thing and that what what her, BE IT action item in there is it's like, you just said it like it's like if you if you want to be elevated want to realize you have these things, you gotta go take specific actions. And if you're unsure what action to take, take an action that's when you make you flippin good. Because then it's going to, "Oh, I go through this." Like you it's called data, the more actions you take that give you like that make you feel good, the more confident you are in taking action. So it's a simple way to do it. That's all I'm saying. She said, right out, "Am I living in the present moment or not? And what am I presently doing for my health?" And I just want to go back to like that, like, you know, eating and working out doesn't exactly mean healthy. So just be really mindful of how you define health. If you're talking like, "I'm going on a juice cleanse." I'm gonna say, "No." I want you to like, get really specific, but I want you to, I like this so much, because it made me think of like Norda Kaiser, we've had in our Agency program talks about like, "Are you a super fan? Or are you a, or are you a star athlete?" And it's like, are you judging yourself negatively and harshly around the things that you do? Or are you actually being curious? And like taking a 30,000 foot view of like, "What am I doing right now? And how is this affecting the life that I want to have?" Becasue star athletes they, they don't go, like, "Oh, the catcher missed the whole thing." It's like, "Oh, how did I throw it so that the catcher didn't get the ball?" Right? Like, "What is what what am I able to do?" So it's like, "Are you living in the present moment or not?"Brad Crowell  Yeah, I think I think also the, you know, the reason I wanted you to jump in and talk about your action item, is because the idea of texting someone that I love you, in the present, it makes you be in the present moment for you to reflect on that kind of thing. She said, so bring positivity into your life and find those things that elevate you. And you'll start to realize that you need to take specific actions to get you to the next place. But you've got to be as present as possible to make it happen. And don't let the past be the thing that limits you on what you can really do in the future.Lesley Logan  I also, you know, I want to add another question to that. Am I living in the present moment or not? And if it's no, are you living in the past, or you live in the future? (Brad: Right) Because if you're living in the past, it was holding yourself back. If you're living in the future, you're just causing anxiety.Brad Crowell  I think you should say that, again.Lesley Logan  If you're living in the past, you're just going to like your your gonna be stuck and in a worry, like you're being held back. And if you're living in the future, you're just causing yourself anxiety. Anxiety is actually like, your is this feeling you have over the what could happen. So it's like, what, when we when we are anxious, it's because we're thinking about what could happen in a negative light and or even a positive light, but it's causing anxiety in the present moment, but you're not being present in the moment that you're in. So anyway, that's just my, I just added a second question to that BE IT action item. I'm just over here, like ...Brad Crowell  Just over here, you know.Lesley Logan  Just giving you a little bit more, (Brad: Do a little thing.) do a little more journaling for you, just a little bit more specific journaling for you.Brad Crowell  I love that.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Well, I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell  I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan  How are you going to use these tips in your life? Let us know, tag us at the @be_it_pod and tag Sue Hitzmann of MELT Method.

You should tell us.Brad Crowell  Yeah, tag Sue and tell her that you heard her pod or her episode here and and let her know, you know your biggest takeaway from this.

Have you ever felt stiff or sore for no reason? Yes, you may exercise, lift weights, get your heart-rate up and push yourself during hard, high-intensity workouts, but when was the last time that you did anything specific for your fascia and connective tissue? There are two types of muscle tissue, the contractile component that generates force and the elastic element that transmits the force around the body; it's this second type of tissue that is often overlooked with many traditional fitness programs. When your connective tissues don't function properly, it can change how your entire body functions which can result in long-term, nagging injuries. Sue Hitzmann is a manual therapist who created the MELT Method to reduce the amount of stress that accumulates in your muscles and soft-tissues during exercise so that you can get the results that you want from your workouts. Recorded LIVE at a fitness education event for the first time since 2019!!! - Sue provides insights on how our connective tissue is different than muscle and shares why it is so important to focus on self-care for your connective tissue so that you can achieve optimal health through movement. Learn all about how your body is designed to move on this episode of All About Fitness. In 2001, Sue Hitzmann was inspired to create “homework” for her clients, which led to the development of the MELT Method – the first-ever form of Hands-off Bodywork®. Now with her bestselling book and the products Sue personally designed, anyone, anywhere, can take steps to restore whole-body efficiency and lead a healthier, more active life. Sue has appeared on the Dr. Oz Show, Nightline, The Rachael Ray Show, Good Morning America, andLive! with Regis and Kelly, and MELT has been featured in publications such as SELF, More, Prevention, and the New York Times. She has empowered tens of thousands of people to live healthy, pain-free lives and has trained over a thousand instructors to share the secrets to pain-free living.

Nothing seemed to help until she began researching how to take care of the problem herself. She found the answer was in her body's fascia, or connective tissue. A series of light-touch exercises hydrated her connective tissue and healed her pain. From that the MELT method was born. The best-selling book and business followed. She now has some 2,000 MELT-certified instructors across the country, generally working with a slightly older demographic.ALSO: I'm very excited to welcome our first advertiser, Naamly, a multifaceted communication tool that helps your members stay longer & pay longer, giving you the power to turn a new member into a lifelong customer.

Check it out!

There are many causes of chronic pain. Sometimes it’s not even entirely physical or connected to the place that’s hurting. Healing is complex and not always a straightforward process. My guest today knows this as well as anyone and has developed a fantastic method that we can all benefit from. Sue Hitzmann is the creator of the Melt Method, a simple self-treatment technique that helps people get out and stay out of chronic pain. She is a nationally recognized educator, manual therapist, exercise physiologist, and founding member of the Fascia Research Society. As the author of the New York Times bestselling book The MELT Method, Sue has helped over 200,000 people lead a healthy, pain-free life. Today, Sue shares the story of how her own experience with chronic pain drove her to find a better solution. By seeing the connection between fascia, trauma, and pain, she was able to develop a method of treatment that people can do together or at home. We talk about what we can do, starting with gently addressing the needs of our fascia, to address pain and get it under control. Sue’s Melt Method is designed to look at the larger dynamics of fascia and how it helps the free nerve endings in the body send messages to the brain. Gently addressing this dynamic system as a whole can do wonders eliminating pain. We also discuss the importance of mindset and being brave enough to face the causes of our trauma and pain. Without this, we are just treating the symptoms. True healing is a transformative process that takes courage and determination.  Have you ever addressed the underlying root causes of trauma and chronic pain? Let’s talk about it in the comments on the episode page!   In this episode How trauma can lead to a lifetime of physical pain if left unaddressed The role of fascia in pain perception The need for a gentle approach to treating trauma and pain The power of touch for truly sensing one’s self and healing Identifying the less obvious root causes of pain The transformative process that comes from introspection and staying rooted in the present   Quotes “I realized that trauma can actually cause more pain in the body than an accident.” [2:47] “Touch, in general, is really an effective way to alter the brain’s pathways that we miss.” [13:54] “Pain is just the brain’s way of alerting you that something is not right. Pain is the great motivator to take action.” [16:17] “Sometimes we’re reacting to something right now, but actually we’re not. We’re reacting to something of our past and putting it in the present…. Focus on what’s happening right now. Just start right now and peel those layers of the onion back. Suddenly you’ll realize how not present you really are.” [33:24] “Sharing vulnerability is one of the most courageous steps of healing. We don’t move on from it. We walk through it and walk through it together.” [44:12]   Links Find Sue Hitzmann online Follow Sue on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube Fascia Research Society The MELT Method by Sue Hitzmann   Check out the full show notes for this episode here Urban Wellness Clinic Follow Emily & Urban Wellness on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube

"I’m so far ahead of the curve, I made the curve," Sue Hitzmann said as I asked her about trends in the fitness space and how she carved out a niche where none existed. And if you listen closely enough on this week's episode of #WeGotGoals, you can hear me reflexively snap my fingers at the sound of that unadulterated swagger. That confidence grew from a few factors that Hitzmann talks through - paving her own path, spreading the knowledge she'd earned, and learning to listen to and hone her gut. And if you're not familiar with the method she created yet, you will be soon. The MELT Method® is Hitzmann's brain child. It's a simple self-treatment designed to help you and your muscles stay healthy, youthful, and active for a lifetime. At its core, it can be termed a recovery method, one of the top trends we saw going into 2019, but you'll hear from Hitzmann, there's more to it than that. Carving her own unique path As a Freshman at NYU, Hitzmann started her college education focused on TV and Film, but kept coming back to the field of science - "as a hobby." When she couldn't deny her love of human anatomy any longer, she changed majors and pursued a degree in Exercise Science - Anatomy and Physiology. But before NYU, there was one fateful day when Hitzmann just happened to be at the gym when an aerobics instructor didn't show up. A 16-year-old Hitzmann - a regular in that class - helmed the class herself and was soon a certified instructor, teaching sold out classes like Jazzercize. Because she paid attention to where she felt the happiest, she started on a journey that would inevitably lead her to The MELT Method. Sharing the secret sauce Hitzmann dove deep, learning everything she could about the muscular system and diving deep into fascia - a word you'll hear throughout the episode. And #ICYMI, fascia is the connective tissue that - well, connects everything. Your muscles, your organs - everything. And it's just starting to get the attention that Hitzmann has always thought it truly deserves. "When I wanted to talk about fascia, I realized that my language wasn’t resonating with people," she remembered. "I so desperately wanted to get that message out there." She found other ways and words to get that message out there, starting by working hands on with clients at her private practice Body Language NYC. And as clients sought ways to get the same treatment from Hitzmann when they weren't in-clinic, she started to innovate and give a few clients the tools to DIY MELT. From those few clients, it turned into a manual. From that manual it became a New York Times Best Selling book The Melt Method. From that book, Hitzmann found the stage to get in front of thousands of fitness and wellness professionals that she'd train in The Melt Method. Learning to listen to and hone her gut You'll hear Hitzmann speak about intuition and energy throughout the episode. And when I pressed her about times when she'd failed to listen to her intuition, she said that when she ignored her gut, she ultimately failed. And it's not lost on me that "energy" and "intuition" lean heavily on the idea that things are more connected than they may seem. It seems completely fitting for Hitzmann. The part of the body she's spent her life devoted to is fascia - the tissue that shows that very same thing in the body - everything is just a little bit more connected than it seems.

When muscles contract they produce the forces that move the body; fascia is the connective that transmits and distributes those forces to help the body move. Fascia is an integral component of how your body moves, yet it is often overlooked in traditional exercise programs and could be the cause of the chronic pain or soreness you feel after a workout. No, this podcast is NOT becoming All About Fascia, but when you get the opportunity to speak with Sue Hitzmann, a founding member of the Fascia Research Society and author of 2 books about how to properly take care of your fascia, it's important to give her the microphone so she can help you understand what might be causing that nagging pain that you have to deal with every time you exercise. Sue Hitzmann is the creator of the MELT Method and the author of The MELT Method - a book describing the role of fascia in movement and how to perform proper self-care to reduce the risk of injury. Sue has recently released MELT Performance, a follow-up book that provides more detail on how you should care for you body so that you can participate in your favorite activities well into the later years of the aging process.  On this episode we discuss common mistakes that could cause pain and some simple movement strategies that could help you avoid it.

Sue Hitzmann, MS, CST, NMT is the creator of the MELT Method®, a simple self-treatment technique that helps people get out and stay out of chronic pain. A nationally recognized educator, manual therapist, exercise physiologist, and founding member of the Fascia Research Society, Sue is the author of the New York Times bestselling book The MELT Method, which has been translated into eight languages and helped over 200,000 people lead a healthy, pain-free life. Sue’s interest in neuromuscular and manual therapies began when she was in her twenties with her quest to find a resolution to her own debilitating pain.

We all accumulate stress, especially if we’re extremely busy women. And sometimes that stress moves on to become chronic pain – or worse, strange symptoms pop up like a sudden inability to digest milk or stay asleep at night. The solution is as simple as doing stress relieving exercises a few times a week … as this guest will attest. I interviewed manual therapist and bestselling author Sue Hitzmann after checking into the best way to relieve my own chronic neck tension – and am I glad I did. She’s a virtual font of wisdom on all things related to tension in the body and how to relieve it.
