    #132 The Wellness Trap: Why Healing Can Keep You Stuck

    What if your pursuit of health is actually making you feel worse? In this episode of Becca Babbles, I’m diving into what it really means to be “healthy” in a world that constantly tells you to do more—eat cleaner, train harder, take more supplements, and somehow still feel like it’s not enough. I open up about my own experience navigating health, especially with PCOS, and how chasing perfection left me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and disconnected from my body. We talk about: • why the pressure to be “perfectly healthy” can backfire • how health has become more stressful than supportive for many women • redefining what health actually means (on your terms) • building a better relationship with food without guilt or restriction • creating simple, sustainable habits that fit your real life • why doing less can sometimes be exactly what your body needs This episode is your reminder that health isn’t about doing everything “right.” It’s about creating a life that feels good, balanced, and sustainable (Mentally, physically, and emotionally) If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still feel overwhelmed… this one’s for you.

    #131 Pregnancy, Postpartum & Baby Development | with Dr. Erika Mennerick

    What if preparing for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum wasn’t about doing everything perfectly but about understanding your body? In this episode of Becca Babbles, I sit down with Dr. Erika Mennerick, a doctor with 20+ years of experience working with moms, babies, and families, to talk about how to better support your body through every stage—from pre-pregnancy to postpartum. We cover common struggles during pregnancy, the role of strength and movement, water births, postpartum recovery, and why baby milestones matter more than you think. Dr. Mennerick, who also teaches providers around the world through the Motion Palpation Institute and works closely with the American Chiropractic Association pediatric program, shares practical insights you can actually use. We talk about: • how to prepare your body for pregnancy (without doing everything perfectly) • common struggles during pregnancy and how to better support your body • why strength, movement, and breathing matter more than you think • the importance of a mother’s mindset throughout the entire process • what’s really happening in postpartum recovery (and why it’s often misunderstood) • baby development, movement milestones, and why they’re so important If you’re pregnant, planning to be, or just want to understand the body on a deeper level—this episode will change how you see it.

    #130 From Fear to Freedom: My Journey Through Chronic Pain and Movement

    Chronic pain has a way of shrinking your world. It can make movement feels scary, frustrating, or completely off-limits. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to rebuild trust with your body, expand your access to movement, and reduce pain without forcing, pushing, or ignoring symptoms. I share my personal journey with chronic pain, how it reshaped my understanding of movement, and why the traditional “push through it” mindset kept me stuck longer than necessary. We’ll talk about how pain actually works, why finding the right type of movement for you is important, and how to reframe progress when your body feels unpredictable. I also walk you through the stoplight analogy I use with every patient. It is a simple but powerful framework to help you understand what movements are safe, which ones need modification, and which ones should wait. This approach takes the guesswork out of exercise and gives you permission to move forward without fear. Finally, we talk about celebrating progress that doesn’t always look flashy: small wins, expanded capacity, less flare-ups, and more confidence in your body. If you’re living with chronic pain, returning to movement after injury, or tired of feeling limited by your body—this episode is for you.

    #129 R2P Symposium Recap: Assessing Movement to Unlock Rotational Performance with Dominic Coe

    What actually separates good clinicians and coaches from great ones? The ability to assess movement and know what to do with it. In this episode of Becca Babbles, I sit down with my friend Dominic Coe to recap our experience at the R2P Symposium, where we deepened our understanding of movement assessment, rotational athletes, and clinical decision-making. We break down: Why we chose to attend R2P and why it changed how we think about movementThe history and purpose behind Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) and Functional Movement Screen (FMS)How to use movement assessments with chronic pain patients and athletesWhy simply “training rotation” isn’t enough for rotational athletesHow assessments guide you down the right rabbit hole instead of chasing symptoms This conversation is a must-listen if you’re a clinician, coach, or athlete who wants to move beyond random programming and toward intentional, patient-centered care. If you care about longevity, performance, and restoring movement, not avoiding it, this episode is for you.

    #128 Cycle Syncing Myths vs. Fueling for Real Performance

    Your menstrual cycle is not a limitation! it’s data! In this episode, we break down why the trend of constantly changing or “cycling” your workouts often doesn’t work if your goal is to build muscle, train consistently, or perform at a competition. Instead, I explain why fueling your body appropriately during each phase of your menstrual cycle is the real game-changer for both health and performance. We’ll walk through the four phases of the menstrual cycle, how hormonal shifts influence metabolism and recovery, and which macronutrients your body prioritizes during each phase. Whether you’re an athlete preparing for an event, lifting to build muscle, or simply trying to optimize your energy and reduce PMS symptoms, this episode will help you understand how to eat enough, fuel smarter, and support your body. No matter where you are in your cycle. If you’ve ever felt confused about training, nutrition, and your hormones, this episode is for you. *I had mentioned the avg. length of a menstrual cycle and the correct length is 21-45 days* Connect with Becca Instagram: @beccaannwellnessEmail: beccababblespodcast@gmail.comResource How to Heal Your Metabolism By: Kate Deering Wohlgemuth, K.

    #126 Tri 8 Clinic Q&A: Boards, Skills & Lessons Learned

    What is clinic really like in Tri 8 and does it look the same for everyone? In this episode of Becca Babbles, I sit down with my friend Lexi Alveraz to give you a real, behind-the-scenes look at clinic life from two different paths. Lexi is in regular clinic, while I’m in sports pod, which gives us two unique perspectives on what clinic actually feels like day to day. We break down the key differences between clinic tracks, answer common questions students are always asking, and reflect honestly on what we’ve learned so far. From when to take Part 2 and Part 3 boards, to skills we feel more confident in, and the areas we’re still actively working on, this episode is equal parts informative and reassuring. We also share favorite moments from Tri 8 and lessons we didn’t expect to learn in clinic. If you’re a chiropractic student approaching clinic or already in it, this episode will help you feel more prepared, less overwhelmed, and reminded that there’s no “right” way to do clinic.
