  3. You Don’t Need to Lose Weight to Get Out of Pain

    You Don’t Need to Lose Weight to Get Out of Pain

    Would it surprise you to know that you don’t need to lose weight to get out of pain? I frequently get messages that include something along the lines of “I know I need to lose weight but…” which breaks my heart because I believe that life without pain is possible for everyone - no matter what your body looks like or feels like right now. We’ve been sold this idea that the pain in our joints is directly related to body mass. But time and time again - the research does not find this to be true. You don’t need to lose weight to get out of pain. And the idea that some amount of pain is something we have to just “live with” because of our age or body type is nonsense. You’ll learn: Why you don't need to lose weight to get out of pain Why focusing on BMI is a waste of time (and missing the point) How there is no definitive scientific link between body mass, weight loss, and pain All the links: The association between chronic pain and obesity.

  4. Osteoporosis and Building Stronger Bones with Sarah Court

    Osteoporosis and Building Stronger Bones with Sarah Court

    More than 50 million people in the U.S. live with osteoporosis, a bone disease that leads to a decrease in the structure and strength of bone. But what if I told you that the best way to rebuild bone strength doesn’t require any pharmaceuticals? Because it might surprise you to know that osteopenia isn't the same as osteoporosis. But should we be treating them differently? In today’s episode, I’m joined by physical therapist (and my hiking partner), Dr. Sarah Court (@sarahcourtdpt), and she’s sharing her best tips to improve bone density, the difference between osteoporosis and osteopenia, why strength training might be a better bet than pharmaceuticals and how to get started with strength training when you’re worried about building stronger bones. We’re scared into the idea that our bones are becoming weak and brittle - and for some people, this may 100% be true. And from the conversations I’m having with clients and my DM’s on social media, it's clear this is on many of our minds, and I couldn't be more excited to tackle it in today's episode. Dr. Sarah is here to guide us through the nuances of building stronger bones - so whether this is top of mind or not, I know you’re going to enjoy today’s episode! You’ll learn: The difference between osteoporosis and osteopenia How to improve bone density How to get started with strength training (and why you absolutely want to) All the links: Heel Drop Exercise [YouTube] Sarah's Website - SarahCourtDPT.com Follow Sarah on Instagram - @sarahcourtdpt Join me for the next Movement Mavens Retreat! www.aewellness.com/retreat/ 30 days to more strength + flexibility with the Mobility Mastery Toolkit www.aewellness.com/podcast - Show notes, links and more.

  5. 232 Why I (still) Don’t Drink Coffee

    232 Why I (still) Don’t Drink Coffee

    Do you drink coffee? When I posted the video "Why I Quit Caffeine (and you should too!!)" on YouTube in 2017, I quickly realized just how passionate folks are about their coffee rituals. Fast forward to 2024 - and I still don't drink coffee. Not a drop. Not even in ice cream! But I'm not entirely anti-caffeine. I do, however, still have a cup of tea every morning, but I tread carefully because too much caffeine turns me into the Energizer Bunny with insomnia. Many of my experiments start with a curious "I wonder what would happen if…" and giving up coffee was no exception. The result? No regrets. Waking up is a breeze, falling asleep is a dream, and that notorious 3 pm crash is a distant memory. And before you scroll away - hear me out - coffee affects the adenosine receptors in your brain. Drink coffee, create more receptors, crave more coffee—it's a deliciously vicious cycle. Stay caffeinated (or not)! ☕️ You’ll learn: What adenosine is and how caffeine works in your brain Why you need more coffee to feel awake And how to be more energized without having to rely on coffee All the links: [Why I Quit Caffeine (and you should too) Video] Join me for the next Movement Mavens Retreat! www.aewellness.com/retreat/ 30 days to more strength + flexibility with the Mobility Mastery Toolkit www.aewellness.com/podcast - Show notes, links and more.

  7. Back Pain Recovery (without Surgery!)

    Back Pain Recovery (without Surgery!)

    Unlock the secrets to a pain-free life - recent research reveals that retraining your brain is the key to saying goodbye to chronic back pain without surgery. But is life without pain possible? Even if you have an x-ray or MRI that says the only fix is surgical? Here's a revelation: MRI studies on people without back pain consistently reveal a significant percentage with disc issues but zero pain. This challenges the idea that disc issues are always correlated with pain. And I know this goes against what most of us have been told about back pain — which is precisely why I recorded this episode. There is an increasing amount of data and research that has found decreases in pain with mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques but it seems that information has yet to reach orthopedic surgeons in practice. So if you believe that life without pain is possible, but you’re not quite sure how to get there — today’s episode is for you! 🔗 (all research and references are available in the show notes at aewellness.com) You’ll learn: The surprising link between pain and your brain The transformative power of the mind-body connection in overcoming pain.

    Building Sustainable Strength with Allison Tenney

    If you’re ready to get started with weights or redefine your relationship with strength training — today’s episode is for you. I’m joined by the incredible Allison Tenney (@allisontenney). As a former D1 Athlete and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, Allison totally gets the “all or nothing” mentality that so often sabotages our progress (especially when you’re an overachiever perfectionist like me!). And while I thought this would be a conversation on how to get started with strength training (which it is), we go so much deeper. I’ve been a proud member of her coaching program, The Den, for the last 2 years and have been loving the strength I’ve built because of it. In our conversation, you’ll learn: How to get started with strength training How to use compassion as an antidote to perfectionism with your workouts How smart strength programming makes a world of difference All the links: Allison on Instagram - @allisontenney Allison’s website - https://allisontenneyfitness.com/ Join me for the next Movement Mavens Retreat! www.aewellness.com/retreat/ 30 days to more strength + flexibility with the Mobility Mastery Toolkit www.aewellness.com/podcast - Show notes, links and more.
