What actually keeps people healthy and functioning well in a demanding world? Wellness: Maintenance Required is a podcast about what it truly takes to maintain health, clarity, and resilience over time. Hosted by Dr. Summer Sanders, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Integrative Wellness Consultant, the show features conversations with professionals across the wellness industry, from physical health, medicine, and performance to lifestyle design, energy work, and the environments we live in. These conversations get into the things people in the wellness industry actually talk about behind the scenes — the things we know, the things we experiment with, and sometimes the things we wish someone had told us much earlier. No guarded secrets. No smoke and mirrors. Just honest conversations about how people inside the wellness industry actually stay well — and the kinds of insights most of us only learn after years of trial, error, and figuring things out the hard way. Because wellness isn’t magic. It’s maintenance!

    When Bloating Becomes Background Noise 💩 Leaky Gut, Cold Plunges & Why Water Isn’t Enough | w/ Allison Christiani

    You’ve probably stopped clocking the bloating… The stomach that never quite feels settled, the energy crash every afternoon like clockwork. At some point, it just all became normal. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Allison Christiani, Director of Nutrition at Centner Wellness, joins me to connect some surprisingly related dots between gut health, digestion, circadian rhythms and hydration: how you start your morning, why your ice water might be the villain of your afternoon slump 🧊, and why your bowel movements have to do with way more than just digestion. We talk holistic, whole-body wellness paired with actual lab work, and what happens when you stop looking at every symptom, habit, and system in isolation. 🧩 Cold plunging gets a rebrand from “hot girl trend” to nervous system boot camp, two gut issues take priority before another supplement, and “drink more water” isn’t wrong, it’s just missing the rest of the instructions. This one’s for you if you have a tendency to pile on the wellness habits. Your body’s been signaling you for a while. It’s time to listen. 🙌🏼 Everyone poops. 💩 We might as well learn something from it! ⸻ 🔑 Key Takeaways Your gut is the foundation, not a side quest. Daily, well-formed bowel movements aren’t a bonus round, they’re the whole game. Everything else you’re doing means nothing if this isn’t handled.Rhythm beats willpower every time. Morning sunlight and warm fluids will likely do more for your nervous system than the supplement you just bought.Bloating isn’t random, it’s a broken seal. Your gut lining springs a leak and suddenly everything feels inflamed. Fix the seal, not just the symptom.Cold plunges and movement are training, not magic. 🥶 They build resilience. They won't save you if you’re skipping everything else that matters.More water isn’t the same as more hydration. 🧂 Without electrolytes, water might be passing right through you. But all electrolytes are not created equal.Your symptoms are data, not drama. Stop collecting random wellness trends off the internet and start reading what your own body is telling you.⸻ ⭐ About Dr. Summer Sanders Dr. Summer Sanders is an Integrative Wellness Consultant and Doctor of Physical Therapy helping people elevate how they live, not just how they feel.

    Why You Keep Hitting the Same Ceiling:🪞Identity Shifts, Playing Small & Self-Sabotage | w/ Heidy Caminero

    What keeps highly capable people hitting the same ceiling? Sometimes your next move is hiding in a place you never thought to look: the mirror.🪞 In Part 1, Wealth Embodiment Coach Heidy Caminero and I took apart the self-improvement toolbox: mindset, manifestation, subconscious work, nervous system regulation, hypnosis, NLP, EFT. This time, we’re putting the toolbox to work. 👷🏻‍♀️ We take three client scenarios and look at what gets missed when highly capable people keep hitting the same ceiling. Sometimes the fastest way forward isn’t digging harder in the same place. Money and self-worth through mindset, yes, but also posture, tension, pain, and how confidently you physically take up space. Identity shifts that reach from the subconscious into your habits, routines, and even your home. Playing small, upper limits, Feng Shui, receiving more, and what happens when part of you is ready to move forward and another part hasn’t gotten the memo. We also take a couple of swings at “protect your peace” and “stay in alignment,” phrases that sound great until you’re the one trying to live inside them. 😏 Part 1 handed you the tools one at a time. Part 2 is what happens when you finally look in the mirror and use all of them at once. ⸻ 🔑 Key Takeaways Your patterns don’t only live in your thoughts. 🧠 Posture, tension, pain, habits, and environment carry information too. Confidence has a physical expression. How you carry yourself can reinforce how you feel about yourself. Your environment can keep an old identity alive. 🏠 Feng Shui isn’t just where the furniture goes; your space can anchor an identity you’re trying to outgrow. Familiarity can be incredibly persuasive. Even wanting more consciously doesn’t stop the unfamiliarity of having it from creating resistance. 🌊 Playing small doesn’t always look like playing small. Perfectionism and endless “preparation” can be very convincing ways to stay safe. Growth isn’t always supposed to feel peaceful. 🕊️ “Protect your peace” is only useful until it becomes an excuse to avoid necessary discomfort. Progress gets easier when you zoom out. 🔭 A stuck problem can look different once you consider mind, body, behavior, and environment together. ⸻ ⭐ About Dr. Summer Sanders Dr. Summer Sanders is an Integrative Wellness Consultant and Doctor of Physical Therapy helping people elevate how they live, not just how they feel.

    Money Mindset, Manifestation & Nervous System Regulation: What Actually Moves the Needle? | w/ Heidy Caminero

    You can vision board it, affirm it, tap it, meditate on it, regulate your nervous system into next Tuesday… and still be broke, stuck, or repeating the same pattern for the fortieth time. So what’s actually working? This week I’m sitting down with Wealth Embodiment Coach Heidy Caminero, and we’re taking a microscope to the self-improvement buzzwords everyone’s throwing around right now: money mindset, scarcity, manifestation, subconscious reprogramming, hypnosis, NLP, EFT, nervous system regulation. All of it! 🧠 We get into why your “money problem” is rarely actually about the number in your account, the sneaky, boring places scarcity hides that have nothing to do with money, and why knowing your pattern by heart still doesn’t stop you from running it again. Manifestation gets yanked out of “think it, receive it” fantasyland. Hypnosis, NLP, and EFT get demystified without the woo. And nervous system regulation gets the reality check it needs: feeling stressed is not the same as failing at regulation. If your self-improvement toolbox has quietly turned into a junk drawer, this episode’s for you. 🧰 ⸻ 🔑 Key Takeaways Your “money problem” probably isn’t about money. 💸 Scarcity loves to hide in tiny, everyday choices. It’s usually about what money represents, not the number itself. Manifestation doesn’t get you off the hook. A vision board can clarify where you’re headed. It cannot make your choices for you. Knowing your pattern and breaking your pattern are not the same skill. 🔄 You can name exactly what you do, why you do it, and where it came from, and still run the same play. Hypnosis, NLP, and EFT are not interchangeable TikTok hacks. Each one is built for something different, and we break down what actually fits where. Regulated doesn’t mean permanently zen. A healthy nervous system flexes. It responds when something demands energy, then comes back down when it doesn’t. Stress isn’t a malfunction. You don’t need every wellness tool in your feed. The point isn’t collecting more tools. It’s knowing what actually works for you and when to use it. ⸻ ⭐ About Dr. Summer Sanders Dr. Summer Sanders is an Integrative Wellness Consultant and Doctor of Physical Therapy helping people elevate how they live, not just how they feel.

    Your Labs Are Normal… So Why Do You Still Feel Like Garbage? | Gut Health, Chronic Pain & Peptides | w/ Dr. Bryan Deloney

    You did the labs. They came back “normal.” So why do you still feel like a stranger in your own body? 🤔 This episode is for everyone stuck in that maddening gap between “your bloodwork looks fine” and “then why do I feel like garbage.” I sat down with Chiropractor and Functional Medicine Provider Dr. Bryan Deloney to talk about what happens when you stop treating the body like a junk drawer of unrelated parts and start connecting the dots instead. We get into chronic pain, gut health, nutrient absorption, peptides, GLP-1's, environmental toxins, and why “food quality” is doing a lot more heavy lifting in your health than you’ve been told. We also clear up some of the biggest misconceptions about chiropractic care and functional medicine—the kind that leave people either fully skeptical or fully obsessed—and talk about what real, collaborative healthcare looks like when providers stop competing for your loyalty and start actually working together. 💪🏼 My favorite part of this conversation? Dr. Bryan’s take on how differently people show up—mood, patience, presence, all of it—once their bodies are finally working the way they’re supposed to. A good reminder that how you feel physically has a way of running the rest of your life too. If you’ve been collecting diagnoses instead of answers, this one’s for you!  ⸻ 🔑 Key Takeaways Why “normal” lab work doesn’t always mean you’re actually healthy—and why it might just be the starting point. 🔍 Why your gut keeps getting blamed last… when it probably should’ve been questioned first. Why functional medicine isn’t about chasing trendy supplements—it’s about asking better questions. 😌 The surprisingly important conversation about peptides, GLP-1 medications, and why where you get them matters just as much as whether you take them. Chronic pain usually isn’t your body betraying you—it’s your body trying (and failing) to get your attention. 🧩 Why your chiropractor, PT, and functional medicine provider should be in a group chat, not a turf war. 🤝 ⸻ ⭐ About Dr. Summer Sanders Dr. Summer Sanders is an Integrative Wellness Consultant and Doctor of Physical Therapy helping people elevate how they live—not just how they feel.

    No Pain, No Gain? 🤔 The Fitness Advice That Isn’t Aging Well | w/ James Gee

    When did “no pain, no gain” become a personality trait? 🤔 If your relationship with exercise feels a little toxic… this one’s for you. Because nobody accidentally ends up with an overtrained nervous system. Somewhere along the way, exhaustion became a badge of honor, soreness became proof we did something right, and rest days became something we had to earn. In this episode, I sit down with Performance Coach and former professional soccer player James Gee to challenge some of fitness’s favorite clichés. From competing professionally overseas to redefining life beyond the game, we explore why “doing more” isn’t always the flex we think it is. 🙃  We also unpack why your nervous system deserves a seat at the table and what it really means to train for life—not just the next workout. 🙌 Expect practical takeaways, plenty of laughs, and a conversation that connects movement, mindset, lifestyle, health maintenance, and energetic wellness in a way that might completely change how you think about performance. Whether you’re chasing a PR, getting back into a routine, or simply trying to feel better in your own body, this episode is a reminder that progress isn’t built by punishing yourself—it’s built by understanding yourself. 💪 ⸻ 🔑 Key Takeaways Why “no pain, no gain” might deserve an early retirement. How to tell the difference between productive discomfort and your body screaming, “Absolutely not.” 🚩 Why your nervous system might be running the show more than your workout plan. The mindset shift that makes consistency easier—without waiting to “feel motivated” every Monday… or negotiating with yourself every Tuesday. 😅 Why movement should fit your lifestyle—not become your entire personality. (Yes, we’re looking at you, people who feel guilty taking a rest day.) 😏 ⸻ ⭐ About Dr. Summer Sanders Dr. Summer Sanders is an Integrative Wellness Consultant and Doctor of Physical Therapy helping people elevate how they live—not just how they feel.

    Hormones, Brain Fog, Low Libido & Why “Normal” Labs Aren’t Always Normal | w/ Kristy Gonzalez

    Nobody wakes up one day and says...👇 “You know what sounds fun? Learning about hormones.” Usually the interest starts after the third cup of coffee stops working, your sleep evaporates into thin air, your sex drive files for divorce, or you find yourself standing in a room wondering why you even walked in there. 🤔 ‼️ Spoiler: hormones don’t check ID. Men, this means you too! 🙌 If you have a body, this one’s for you. In this episode, I sit down with Nurse Practitioner Kristy Gonzalez to talk about the tiny chemical messengers that somehow manage to run your energy, sleep, motivation, memory, and ability to tolerate other human beings all together. 😉 We get into why so many people spend years being told they’re “fine” while feeling decidedly not fine, why normal lab work doesn’t always tell the whole story, and why “it’s just part of getting older” is doing a lot of heavy lifting it doesn’t deserve. From testosterone and libido to brain fog, inflammation, and hormone replacement therapy, we explore what happens when healthcare starts looking for causes instead of just collecting symptoms. So if you’ve been blaming aging, your schedule, Mercury retrograde, or your spouse for everything lately… this episode might be worth a listen. 👀 ⸻ 🔑 Key Takeaways The 3am wake-up call nobody ordered. What your doctor means by “normal” versus what you mean by “normal.” The symptom that has people convinced they’re losing their minds. Why your supplement cabinet might not be helping. Why your libido ghosted you and your spouse suddenly got less attractive. 😅 Why cortisol became the scapegoat for everything. ⸻ ⭐ About Dr. Summer Sanders Dr. Summer Sanders is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Integrative Wellness Consultant exploring the systems beneath health, performance, recovery, and wellbeing.

    Behind the Highlight Reel 👀 The Pressure, Injuries & Reality of Elite Sports w/ Angela Leweurs

    Most people see the highlight reel. The trophy. The ranking. The scholarship. The win. 🏆 What they don’t see are the injuries, the self-doubt, the pressure, the loneliness, and the thousands of invisible decisions happening behind the scenes. Turns out discipline isn’t always the inspiring thing people make it out to be. Sometimes it’s waking up exhausted and doing it anyway. Sometimes it’s learning who you are when your body won’t cooperate. And sometimes it’s realizing that the strongest athletes aren’t the ones who push the hardest—they’re the ones who learn how to last. We’re talking about that today. Former WTA player and tennis coach Angela Leweurs joins me to pull back the curtain on what life in elite sports actually looks like, from training and competition to injury recovery, mindset, family support, and the lessons she wishes more athletes understood earlier. Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, a coach, or simply someone trying to perform at a high level without burning yourself into the ground, this conversation offers a refreshingly honest look at what sustainable success really requires. — 🔑 Key Takeaways The injury is rarely the first problem—it’s usually the receipt. Your mental state often predicts your next injury before your body does. Talent gets attention. Support systems create longevity. Athletes aren’t one-size-fits-all. Neither is coaching. Recovery isn’t a reward—it’s part of the job. Visualization is rehearsal for reality. — ⭐ About Dr. Summer Sanders Dr. Summer Sanders is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Integrative Wellness Consultant exploring the systems beneath health, performance, recovery, and wellbeing.

    Personal Injury Claims, Recovery & What Your Attorney Wishes You Knew 👀⚖️ w/Chauncey Dean

    What you do after an accident can make or break your personal injury case—and most people don’t find that out until it’s too late. Turns out “I’ll just walk it off” is not a legal strategy after an accident—and neither is “I’ll deal with it later.” And yet here we are, because no one gets a handbook when life decides to knock you flat. 😅 We’re talking about that today—because what you do between the accident and the settlement matters just as much as what happened in the first place, and most people are accidentally sabotaging themselves without even knowing it. We’re pulling back the curtain on what defense teams are actually looking at, why your treatment timeline is basically being graded, and what personal injury attorney Chauncey Dean wishes you knew before you ever needed one. Buckle up. (Pun intended.) 🚗 _ 🔑 Key Takeaways Seeking medical care immediately after an accident isn’t just good for your body—it’s one of the most important things you can do for your personal injury case 👇 Consistent medical documentation is everything. Gaps in treatment? The defense will notice. The defense isn’t evaluating your pain—they’re evaluating your records. Big difference. Your social media posts can and will be used against you. Yes, really. Log off. 📵 Virtual vs. in-person treatment matters more than people realize when it comes to injury claim credibility Early decisions—ones that feel small in the moment—can have major consequences down the road _ ⭐ About Dr. Summer Sanders Dr. Summer Sanders is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Integrative Wellness Consultant who helps high achievers stop pushing through and start actually thriving—aligning the body, energy, and environment so life starts to feel like it fits.
