Feeling fine doesn’t always mean you’re actually fine. When it comes to spinal health, most people don’t realize how much silent wear and tear is happening until it’s too late, and sometimes irreversible.
In this episode, I sit down with Jason Gilbert, a spinal health expert who’s helped tens of thousands of clients, including elite athletes and everyday people, avoid surgery, reclaim movement, and reduce pain by focusing on early spinal diagnostics and functional rehab.
Jason shares what most doctors overlook about chronic pain and disc injuries, why spinal degeneration starts way earlier than we think, and how walking might be the simplest game-changer for pain prevention and recovery.
He breaks down what regular X-rays can reveal before symptoms strike, the danger of ignoring early signs, and how to build a sustainable movement plan that prevents long-term damage.
"Any investment in health gives a 2000% return on their money." ~ Jason Gilbert
