In this episode, Nikki chats with strength and brain based fitness coach Isabelle Barter about why it's important to find the right medical or fitness professionals to help you and why you shouldn't always believe the stories that someone else tells you about your body. They discuss: Why you should find physical therapists and wellness practitioners who understand your experience and the context of the activities that you want to return to if you have pain How medical and wellness providers can't predict the future, so if what they are saying doesn't sit well with you, it's valuable to find a second opinion Their own positive and negative experiences trying to get treatment for pain and injuries Why these narratives around exercise being dangerous are often more harmful than the injuries themselves The negative and positive impacts of being delivered a diagnosis What to look for when trying to find someone to help you rehab pain or an injury Connect with Isabelle Website: Strongerhuman.com Instagram: @stronger_human Connect with Nikki Website: naablevy.com Instagram: @naablevy

In this episode, Nikki chats with athletic trainer Anna Hartman about what it actually looks like to train like a professional athlete and why this idea doesn't typically align with what you need if this is not you profession. They discuss: What a professional athlete's day and workouts look like and what Anna helps them prioritize when they see her. How professional athletes often have to make trade offs where they potentially sacrifice their long term health for shorter term performance. The discrepancy between the marketing messaging of "training like an athlete" and the reality of what it means to move and perform well. Why rest, recovery, and a sense of safety are required for performance, injury prevention, and overall health + how the nervous system creates the conditions for this.
