Quick start series:
How to Fix Low Back Pain
In this episode, we’re joined by Jake Gibbins to break down the real causes of low back pain and why most people never get the right answers. We’ll discuss key risk factors, common misconceptions, and a proven, step-by-step approach to lasting relief.
The North Star Principle
Imagine you are dropped into a dense wilderness. You have no idea where you are. Tall trees tower over you. You can't see the sun or the horizon. You are lost and have no bearing on where to go next. You stumble around in circles, but as hard as you try, you can’t find your way out of the wilderness.
Preventing Knee Replacements
In this episode, we’re joined by Jaylee Lister to explore the alarming rise in knee osteoarthritis and knee replacements. We break down the key drivers behind this trend, the biggest risk factors, and how you can proactively protect your knee health to avoid surgery.
The Chronic Pain Spiral
In this episode, we’re joined by Jamie Daniel to explore the Chronic Pain Spiral—a destructive feedback loop where biomechanical, structural, inflammatory, and nervous system issues worsen over time. Together, we unpack its impact on people’s lives and share actionable steps to break free.
Make Sense of Your Joint Pain
In this episode, we dive into the complexities of joint pain. We’ll break down the differences between acute and chronic pain, debunk common myths surrounding chronic pain, and share actionable strategies to help you find relief.
Pain is the Fire Alarm, Not the Fire
Imagine this with me. You are sitting in your living room, and to your left a fire starts raging up the curtains. It’s no more than 10 feet from you, and you can feel the heat on your face.
Joint Pain Is A Complex, Worsening Problem
The illusion of muscle and joint pain is that it is coming from one source. Even the words we use to describe our pain reinforce this misunderstanding, e.g., “I have a back problem.”
Understanding Acute vs Chronic Pain
The key challenge when you have joint pain is navigation. Conflicting opinions and symptom chasing treatments leave people wandering in pain for years, never getting to the root cause of their pain problem.
