    The Daily Choices That Decide How Well You Age

    In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, Dr. Derrick Hines sits down with coach, Olympic weightlifter, and author Jerzy Gregorek to discuss why long-term health depends less on motivation and more on daily discipline. The conversation centers on how small, consistent choices compound over time. Jerzy explains why hard choices made early make life easier later, and how avoiding discomfort leads to physical decline, loss of strength, and reduced resilience as we age. They explore aging through the lens of performance and lifestyle medicine, challenging the idea that getting weaker, slower, or more fragile is inevitable. Jerzy outlines how mindset, training consistency, and personal responsibility shape how well we move, recover, and function over decades. If you are struggling to stay consistent, feel weaker than you used to, or want a clearer framework for aging with strength and purpose, this episode offers a grounded and practical perspective. Topics Covered Why discipline matters more than motivation How daily choices shape long-term health The difference between aging and deterioration Why strength and resilience decline without structure Mindset and its role in recovery and consistency The importance of mentorship in health and training How community reinforces long-term habits Principles behind The Happy Body framework Choosing responsibility over convenience 🎧 Tune in to understand how making harder choices today can lead to a stronger, healthier, and more capable future.

    The Four Keys to Physical Health

    In this mini episode, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down the four foundational pillars that determine long-term physical health and performance.

If you’ve been training consistently but still feel limited, fatigued, or injury-prone, this episode will help you see what’s missing. Topics Covered: -- The four pillars of physical health: mobility, strength, stability, and cardio -- Why no single pillar works in isolation -- How imbalance leads to pain, breakdown, and injury -- The most commonly neglected pillar in training programs -- Simple ways to audit your current routine -- How to prioritize the area you’re avoiding or undertraining 🎧 Tune in to understand how building all four pillars together creates stronger, more resilient, long-lasting physical health.

    Why Most Health Goals Fail

    In this mini episode, Dr. Derrick Hines explains why most health goals don’t fail because of lack of motivation, but because people rely on motivation instead of systems and identity. This conversation reframes goal setting away from willpower and New Year’s resolutions, and toward building simple systems and repeating behaviors until they become part of who you are. Dr. Hines breaks down why consistency beats motivation every time, and how identity-based habits dramatically increase long-term success. If you’ve ever started strong and fallen off weeks later, this episode explains exactly why, and what actually needs to change. Topics Covered: -- Why motivation always fades -- The role of systems in long-term success -- How identity shapes daily decisions -- Why consistency matters more than intensity -- Turning goals into habits that stick -- How to build momentum instead of relying on willpower 🎧 Tune in to learn how to stop restarting your health goals and start building habits that last.

    What Is Regenerative Therapy? (and how it can change your healing)

    In this mini episode, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down what regenerative therapy actually means and why most injuries never fully heal with traditional, scar-based approaches. This episode explains the difference between scar tissue repair and true tissue regeneration, and walks through the essential steps the body needs to rebuild healthy, native-like tissue. Dr. Hines outlines why chronic injuries stall, how regenerative therapies restart the healing signal, and why stacking the right tools matters more than any single treatment.

Topics Covered: -- The difference between scar-based healing and true tissue regeneration  -- Why chronic injuries stop healing over time  -- The six requirements for regenerating healthy tissue  -- How regenerative therapies restart the healing signal  -- The role of environment, energy, blood flow, and activity in recovery  -- Why missing one piece can stall healing completely 🎧 Tune in to understand how regenerative therapy works, why it’s not magic, and how it can fundamentally change the way your body heals.

    Consistency Isn't Perfection, It's Identity

    In this mini episode, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down why real consistency has nothing to do with perfection or constant motivation, and everything to do with identity. This episode explains how habits stick when they become part of who you are, not when they rely on willpower or flawless execution. Dr. Hines explores the idea of “casting votes” for the person you want to become, why missing a day isn’t failure, and how quickly getting back on track matters more than intensity or perfection. If you’ve struggled with starting strong but falling off, this episode offers a clearer, more sustainable way to think about habits, healing, and long-term change. Topics Covered: -- Why consistency is identity-based, not motivation-based -- How small actions reinforce who you believe you are -- Why perfection often prevents progress -- The power of “don’t miss two days in a row” -- How consistency drives deeper health and healing over time 🎧 Tune in to learn how building identity, not chasing motivation, leads to lasting consistency and real results.
