001 | Doc Jen - How to Get Out of Pain Intuitive Warrior

    • Fitness

Jen Esquer is a top-40 physical therapy influencer. With a doctorate in physical therapy, she is ranked as one of the Best Fitness Trainers on Instagram by Shape Magazine and has been featured in Self Magazine, Men’s Fitness, Muscle & Fitness as well as a guest on CBS.
“No one fixes you, you fix you.”In this episode, Doc Jen and I speak about a wide variety of movement-related tips and tricks—truly everything from pistol squats to neurolymphatic points in the body. As a self-proclaimed mover, Jen brings incredible insight into our physical processes. She also shares an interesting, perhaps controversial perspective of the safe versus optimal training zones we should find ourselves in.

Four Sigmatic
A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away… no, really! Four Sigmatic has a wide variety of delicious superfood (and super-good-for-you) beverages made with medicinal mushrooms. Their Mushroom Coffee with Lion’s Mane is my go-to choice when on the road, and at home I like to start every work day with a double dose of pure Lion’s Mane.

BluBlox
If you are anything like me, you’ve probably tried to block out every single spec of light in your bedroom whether at home or on the road. Well, believe it or not, there might be a better option out there. BluBlox has created this incredible sleep mask that will not only block out all light, but also feel comfortable on your face. It makes getting to sleep and staying there that much easier... much like their stylish blue blocking glasses!
