    When Failure is NOT an option- Daniel Carlton, 2x Purple heart recipient

    What happens when everything you thought defined you… is taken in a single moment? For Daniel Carlton, that moment came in 2012 while serving as a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret, when he stepped on an IED—losing one leg and nearly losing the other. It was a near-death experience that would have ended most people’s story. It didn’t end his. In this episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we go far beyond injury and recovery. This is a conversation about identity, resilience, purpose, and what it really takes to rebuild a life after everything changes. Daniel didn’t just survive—he chose to push the limits of what’s possible. From endurance rucks and extreme physical challenges to beekeeping, and leading others through suffering with purpose… he’s redefining what strength actually looks like. This is not motivation. This is perspective. In this episode, we explore: The moment everything changed—and the decision that followedWhat the darkest days actually looked like after limb loss and traumaHow to rebuild identity when your body and life are no longer the sameWhy people who suffer often choose harder paths—not easier onesWhat endurance rucks reveal about pain, trauma, and human connectionThe mindset that allows someone to keep going when most people quitHow to turn loss into purpose—and help others do the sameIf you’ve ever faced adversity, loss, or a moment that forced you to question who you are… this episode will stay with you. About Daniel Carlton Daniel Carlton is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret) soldier, Ranger qualified, and 2? Purple Heart recipient. A husband and father of eight, Daniel survived a catastrophic IED blast in combat that resulted in limb loss and severe injuries to his remaining leg. Since 2012, he has committed his life to pushing physical and mental limits—participating in endurance rucks, extreme challenges, and community-driven events that help others confront pain, trauma, and growth. Beyond the battlefield, Daniel is also a beekeeper, leader, and advocate for resilience, proving that purpose doesn’t end after tragedy—it begins there. If you’re looking for a conversation about what’s possible after everything falls apart—this is it. For more information on the group he is working with.

    What If Your Chronic Pain Isn’t a Tissue Problem? Dr Steven Capobianco

    What if chronic pain isn’t a tissue problem—but a brain map problem? If you’ve ever thought, “My pain must be structural,” today’s episode flips that script. On the Crackin’ Backs Podcast we dive into why pain persists, how the nervous system and brain maps shape sensation, and how skilled manual therapy can update the body’s map instead of masking symptoms. We’re joined by Dr. Steven Capobianco, co-founder of RockTape and one of the sharpest minds redefining pain, movement, and human performance through neuroscience-informed approaches to chronic pain and sensory-driven movement therapy. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why pain isn’t always a tissue injury and what “back being out” really means • How manual therapy becomes sensory input to update the nervous system • What most people misunderstand about nervous system regulation • The difference between outer maps and inner body maps • How chronic pain makes the body feel unsafe—and what truly restores safety • Why patients shouldn’t be passive on the table but active participants in their recovery • When manual therapy empowers vs when it creates dependency This episode is essential listening if you’re struggling with lingering pain, movement limitations, or feel like you’ve tried everything without getting answers. By the end, you’ll understand pain through a neuro-sensory lens, not just a structural one. About Dr. Steven Capobianco Dr. Steven “Capo” Capobianco, DC, MA, DACRB, CSCS, PES is a movement expert, sports chiropractor, and co-founder of RockTape—a globally recognized company blending neuroscience, movement education, and therapeutic techniques to enhance performance and reduce pain.

    Willpower vs Whypower- Max Rooke

    Why Some Spine Surgeries Should’ve Never Happened- Jeff Gross MD

    What if spine surgery isn’t the breakthrough—it's the backup plan? In a world where millions are told “scalpel first” for back pain, joint degeneration, and nerve issues, a quiet revolution is happening in regenerative medicine, non-surgical spine care, stem cells, exosomes, and peptides. On this episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we sit down with one of the true pioneers in the field—Dr. Jeff Gross, a spine-fellowship trained, board-certified neurosurgeon who’s pushing healing beyond the knife and toward regeneration. Dr. Gross has spent over two decades treating back pain, neck pain, disc issues, and sports injuries using both traditional neurosurgical expertise and the latest in regenerative therapies, helping thousands of patients find alternatives to spinal surgery and accelerate healing naturally. In this episode we break down: • When stem cells and exosomes actually help back and joint pain • How peptides are being used responsibly in regenerative care • The filters Dr. Gross uses to decide who truly needs surgery—and who doesn’t • What the science actually says (and what’s hype) about regenerative spine repair • How doctors can match the right biologic tool to the right problem • What real healing metrics look like—beyond pain scores and imaging If you’ve ever typed “Can stem cells fix my back?”, “alternatives to spine surgery”, or “non-surgical regenerative spine care” into Google… this episode finally gives you evidence-based answers from someone who’s lived both sides of the scalpel.  About Dr. Jeff Gross Dr. Jeffrey Gross, MD is a spine fellowship trained neurological surgeon practicing in Nevada and California with over 20 years of experience treating complex spine and joint conditions. He is the founder of ReCELLebrate, a regenerative medicine clinic based in Las Vegas focused on stem cell therapy, exosome treatments, longevity consultations, and biohacking strategies that help patients heal, reduce pain, and improve overall health without immediate surgery.

    You’re Not Choking—Your Identity Is Collapsing Under Pressure- Brandon Sprout

    Most athletes don’t lose because they lack talent. They lose because their internal system collapses under pressure. They dominate in practice. They prepare, train, visualize… Then the lights come on—and something shuts down. In this episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we dive deep into the real mental game of performance with Brandon Sprout, a mental performance coach who works at the intersection of identity, subconscious programming, hypnosis, and NLP to help athletes perform consistently when it matters most. This isn’t surface-level “mental toughness.” This is about why athletes choke, what’s actually happening in the mind–body loop, and how to rewire the internal operating system that drives confidence, focus, and execution. In this episode, we cover: Why athletes perform great in practice but fall apart in gamesWhat “choking” really is—and the fastest lever to interrupt itHow athlete identity forms, fractures, and controls performanceWhy confidence disappears after mistakes—and how to rebuild it fastA simple 3-step framework to turn mistakes into information, not identityHow hypnosis and NLP are actually used in high-performance settingsWhat Brandon targets in the subconscious—and how progress is measuredThe clearest signs an athlete’s identity is fragile and outcome-dependentHow to build a stable performance identity that holds under pressureIf you’re an athlete, coach, or high performer who feels like your talent doesn’t always show up when it counts, this conversation will change how you think about confidence, pressure, and mental training. This episode is for anyone asking: “Why can’t I do in competition what I do in practice?” About the Guest Brandon Sprout is a mental performance coach specializing in subconscious reprogramming, identity development, and pressure performance. He works with athletes across youth, collegiate, and professional levels, using tools such as hypnosis, NLP, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help athletes align identity with execution. Brandon’s work focuses on building stable confidence, emotional regulation, and repeatable performance under stress.

    Women Aren’t Small Men—But We’re Still Training Them Like They Are- Dr. Stacy Sims

    In a world where women follow the same training, nutrition, and recovery advice as men—and still feel off, overtrained, or under-recovered—this episode changes everything you thought you knew. Today we’re joined by Dr. Stacy T. Sims, PhD, a world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who has spent over two decades challenging the idea that “women are small men.” Instead, she’s helped pioneer a female-focused science of performance, health, longevity, and hormones. In this conversation we explore: • What top trackers like HRV and hormones actually mean for women • Why traditional strength programming may be holding women back • The physiology behind stress, adaptation, and burnout unique to women • How hydration, sodium, and recovery shift through the menstrual cycle and menopause • Nutrient timing, macronutrient needs, and performance fueling that truly works This episode is for women who are successful, driven, and quietly frustrated—you’re not weak, you’re just following the wrong blueprint. If you’ve ever felt like your body wasn’t matching your effort, this episode will help you train, eat, and recover with confidence based on real female physiology. About Dr. Stacy Sims Dr. Stacy T. Sims, PhD is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist whose research has transformed how women train and fuel for performance and long-term health.

    Fix This and Radically Reduce Your Shoulder Pain | Dr. Josh Satterlee If shoulder pain were truly a shoulder problem, we would’ve solved it by now. Yet millions of people—and even athletes—are stuck chasing rotator cuff diagnoses, endless rehab exercises, and generic advice that never fully works. In this episode of the Crackin Backs Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Josh Satterlee, a nationally recognized sports chiropractor, educator, and performance clinician known for challenging outdated thinking around shoulder pain, movement assessment, and rehab. Dr. Satterlee has worked with high-level athletes and trained clinicians around the world, and his message is simple—but uncomfortable: most shoulder rehab fails because we’re asking the wrong questions. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why most shoulder pain isn’t actually a shoulder issueThe critical first fork in the road when someone presents with shoulder pain: stiff, unstable, irritated, or referred2–3 simple daily-life “tells” you can notice right now (sleeping, reaching, putting on a jacket)Why chasing the rotator cuff often misses the real problemThe upstream drivers Dr. Satterlee evaluates first: rib cage, thoracic spine, scapular control, and neck functionThe truth about frozen shoulder—and a simple decision tree to determine if it’s truly frozenThe gym debate answered honestly: Is overhead pressing bad for your shoulders?How to bulletproof shoulders for rotational athletes (golf, tennis, baseball) by building the right capacities in the right orderThis is not a conversation about chasing symptoms or labels. It’s about movement patterns, capacity, and asking better questions—whether you’re an athlete, an active adult, or a clinician trying to get better results. If you’ve tried everything for shoulder pain… If you’ve been told, “It’s just your rotator cuff”… Or if you want to train, lift, and perform without fear— This episode will change how you think about shoulders.  Subscribe, listen, and learn why fixing this can radically reduce your shoulder pain.
