Why Motion is Lotion for Managing Chronic Pain and Inflammation
So much of the fitness advice out there says we need to lift heavy and train hard to get results.
And while that can be great for people without chronic conditions, it’s not always realistic—or helpful—when you're living with autoimmune issues or chronic pain.
In this episode, I talk about how movement can be a powerful step in the right direction… even if it’s gentle, even if it’s short, even if it looks different from what others are doing.
We’ll dive into:
– The truth about muscle loss after 30
– Why small steps can lead to big, sustainable change
– Making movement more accessible (and less intimidating)
– Understanding the different types of pain—and how to work with your body, not against it
– My “STRONG” approach to exercising with autoimmune conditions
Because sometimes just moving is a win—and motion really is lotion.
Special shout-out to and her Inspired Living with Autoimmunity podcast for the inspiration behind this episode. Julie is doing such amazing work in the autoimmune space.
If you're navigating chronic conditions and want a fresh, compassionate take on fitness, this one’s for you.
