    #136 Train Harder, Recover Faster: The Science of Rhodiola

    Most athletes and fitness enthusiasts overlook one powerful performance-enhancing herb: Rhodiola. Known as the "golden root," this ancient adaptogen may help improve endurance, reduce fatigue, enhance recovery, and boost mental focus without the crash or jitters of stimulants. In this episode, I break down the science behind Rhodiola, exploring how its active compounds, rosavin and salidroside, impact physical and mental performance. You'll learn what current research says about perceived exertion, heart rate, recovery, strength, and endurance, plus how the effects differ when taken before a workout versus consistently over time. I also shares practical dosing recommendations, timing strategies, and who may benefit most from adding Rhodiola to their routine. Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, or simply looking for a natural way to improve resilience and performance, this episode will help you decide if Rhodiola deserves a place in your supplement stack.

    #135 From Research to Real Life Results with Dr. Brandon Beckerman DC

    How do you actually know what health and fitness advice to trust? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brandon Beckerman, a sports chiropractor and Clinic Faculty Doctor at Parker University, to break down some of the biggest questions people have when it comes to movement, rehab, and overall health. We talk about how to spot good vs. misleading research (without needing a science degree), so you can feel more confident in the choices you’re making for your body. We also dive into isometric exercises. What they are, why they matter, and how they can help with everything from injury recovery to getting stronger and more stable in everyday life. And of course, we tackle a big topic: 👉 Is there really such a thing as perfect movement… or have we been overthinking it this whole time? This episode is all about simplifying the noise, understanding your body better, and giving you practical tools you can actually use. Whether you’re working out, recovering from an injury, or just trying to move and feel better.

    #134 Stop Playing Small: Tri 9 Lessons Before Internship

    Tri 9 hits different and if you know, you know. In this episode, I’m breaking down what makes the last trimester of student clinic on campus such a unique and powerful experience. After grinding through Tri 1–7, something shifts, and Tri 9 becomes a whole new level of growth, confidence, and ownership as you step closer to internship and becoming a doctor. This isn’t the end, but it is the end of your time in student clinic at school… and that means it’s your opportunity to make the most of every rep, every patient, and every challenge before stepping into the next level. I’m sharing what I’ve learned inside clinic, why this is the time to stop playing small, and how challenging yourself with harder cases will shape the doctor you’re becoming. We’ll talk about the power of asking better questions, stepping into uncertainty, and why the students who grow the most are the ones willing to get uncomfortable. I also dive into: How to start bringing in external patients (and why this matters more than you think)What it actually looks like to choose a CBI and how to make the right decision for youThe mindset shift that separates average interns from standout future doctors If you’re in clinic right now or about to be, this episode is your reminder to make it count. Because while Tri 10 is coming… this chapter of student clinic won’t last forever.

    #133 The Missing Link Between Strength and Pain with Dr. Cadan Flack DC

    If you’ve ever dealt with lingering pain that just keeps coming back… this episode is going to change how you think about healing. In this episode of Becca Babbles, I sit down with Dr. Cadan Flack to break down one of the most overlooked pieces of recovery: tendon rehabilitation. We dive into why traditional chiropractic adjustments alone often aren’t enough for long-term results and what’s missing in most treatment plans. Dr. Flack shares his systematic, research-driven approach to care, explaining how combining rehab with chiropractic treatment leads to better outcomes, faster recovery, and more empowered patients. We also explore the biopsychosocial model and why your mindset, environment, and movement patterns all play a role in your pain. Whether you’re an athlete, someone dealing with chronic pain, or just trying to better understand your body, this episode will give you a whole new perspective on what true healing looks like. If you’re ready to stop chasing temporary relief and start building long-term resilience, this one’s for you.

    #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.
