My veterans path may be like yours or someone you know.
Being on the Veteran’s PATH podcast hosted by Jon Macaskill, Mindfulness Teacher, Deputy Executive Director was an honor. Jon, is a a Navy SEAL Commander and as humble as they come who has been through more than any of us can ever imagine, focused as ever, and taking time to listen, share, and give back to his fellow veterans.
On this podcast I got a chance to share the “whats next” after my Marine Corps service experience. I hope this whats next journey is helpful to many, and gives people hope that whatever they are facing, they can too become a master of their own condition.
Now I am a wife, mother, advocate, and business owner with my husband. Our business is aimed to impact the 21 million veterans and their families in our country, as well as companies in need of physical well-being programs that actually impact the individual employees for their life.
Listen, share, pay it forward! Whether you are a veteran or not, I believe this story, this podcast can help you in your life….if you want to become unstoppable.
This week on the Brute Strength Podcast I interview Anders Varner and Theresa Larson,, founders of “The Low Back Fix”. On this week’s episode, we focus on a few topics including rehabilitation, injury prevention, and how to coach proper movement patterns. You’ll also get to learn more about their new CrossFit Specialty Course “Adaptive Athletes” and why you should be doing more unilateral work! Be sure to check out their website for a free E-book and more info on their seminars that will not only help you move better as an athlete, but also how to spot these patterns and deficiencies as a coach.
Theresa is back this week giving an insider’s view on women in combat and how to strengthen your brain-body connection for better mental and physical health.
In This Episode of Harder to Kill Radio, You’ll Learn:
About Dr. Larson’s journey & the illness she faced while deployed
Her thoughts on females in combat & special forces
How seemingly healthy habits can turn into obsessions
What’s the fine line between health and states of illness
How to strengthen the brain-body connection
Why her new book is a must-read for anyone, military or civilian, man or woman
The Lionheart Radio crew sits down with Dr. Theresa Larson to discuss her battle with Bulimia, how she persevered into recovery, and what she is doing now to inspire others to not live in fear. Among other topics, the crew also discusses:
Numerous eating/health disorders, including fitness addiction (yes it exists);
Using the triangle of mind, body and spirit to create a balanced and healthy life;
The power of meditation or prayer in your daily life;
How living in the present leads to a happier and more fulfilled life;
Assessing your current life position and asking yourself “why am I working?” and to remember what you are working for;
Why it is important to wake up the majority of days and be excited about the work your are doing;
The benefits of creating monthly reflections; and
Her new 8 week digital program to relieve lower back pain through strengthening.
Following your calling and defining your “why” are the building blocks of a successful and fulfilling life. It’s something you hear us champion frequently on Barbell Business, Barbell Shrugged and Barbell Buddha. But what do you do when your calling and your “why” don’t exactly match up?
Dr. Theresa Larson, founder of Movement Rx, has the answer to this question. Frustrated with a traditional clinic setting, she didn’t want to deal with the BS of the regular physical therapy world – treating 20 patients a day in the insurance business which felt broken and very restricting. After confiding in Kelly Starrett, the idea of breaking free from the regular constraints of the physical therapy world seemed much more doable.
In this week’s episode, you’ll hear more about how Dr. Larson fought through a debilitating eating disorder, the passing of her mother, leading an entire Marine platoon while deployed in Iraq, and embraced her calling to heal and nurture to craft her own successful career in the fitness industry.
We drop into MovementRX this week to talk all things mobility with Theresa Larson and Anders Varner.
We dive into lower back pain and how you can identify and fix the source of the pain in the body. Fact: 8 out of 10 humans (both athletes and couch potatoes alike) have some sort of lower back pain, and most of the time the pain is caused by some sort of imbalance or weakness somewhere else in the body.
Theresa and Anders bring to light some “oh shit” points on how our daily habits can be the cause of our pain. They also debunk some assumptions around mobility, and physical therapy.
