This ticks me off.

It evokes a weird emotion that I struggle to put into words.

A mix of feelings.

Angry at the medical system for such crap care.
Defiant and motivated to make sure people like you have the knowledge, tools, and support needed to heal naturally.
Sad, knowing I can’t save everyone from unnecessary pain, pills, shots, or surgery.
Reflective- questioning why I’ve made it my mission to change the world and why I care so dang much
Called upon- to say “screw you” to my own feelings and do what’s needed to help as many people as possible.

Check it out (see pic)... a message I got the other day… from someone who’s seen more doctors than you can count with fingers and toes… yet, still he’s suffering from back pain. This message is in response to a visit he had with his P*P who thinks his disc is causing his chronic back pain…

My first feelings… anger... frustration.

No exam
No testing.
No real conversation

Just:
“You can get an injection”
“Or we can shave the disc down”
“But you’ll be fine… just strengthen your core.”

This man left with more questions than answers.
More worried than ever.
And hurting more than he had before.

It’s a daily battle.

Not just helping people with back, butt, or sciatica pain heal…
…but unwinding the fear, doubt, and hopelessness that the system plants in their mind…

In your mind.

In our minds.

Which shows up in our body and keeps us stuck in fear.

Afraid to move.
Thinking we need them.
Rather than feeling capable of healing ourselves.

Stand your ground.

Keep searching.

58% of her spine was fused!

A woman from across the globe sent me this message the other day…

Two things I hope you picked up on.

She did ONE simple motion- that upon testing was proven to be SAFE + EFFECTIVE… no guessing, just testing.

Subtraction (doing less) allowed her brain + body the space it needed to resolve her pain (it's designed to heal).

SIMPLE, but not always easy.

I share this message with you, because chances are if you’re in pain- you’re doing more treatments or exercises thinking you’ll heal faster- NOT true. More = more confused, boring = better.

AND

You’re likely spending most of your time, energy, AND money on what “to do” vs. what “not to do.” Removing roadblocks in your environment which are holding you back is the first and MOST powerful step to healing.

The more he tried… the worse it got.

Konstantinos was the kind of guy who does the work.

He did his exercises. He focused on keeping good posture.
He Googled. He researched. He obsessed.

But here’s what no one told him:

Trying harder won’t fix a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

Every time he forced another “corrective” movement,
his brain doubled down on the pain.

Why? Because he was operating from fear.

He wasn’t moving to heal…
He was moving to protect.

Big difference.

It wasn’t until he learned how to reset his system,
lower the threat, and move with confidence…
that things finally started to click.

Now?

✅ Less pain
✅ More trust in his body
✅ Real progress (without trying so darn hard)

So if you’re doing all the things and still not getting relief…

Maybe it’s not about doing more.

Maybe it’s about doing less of the right thing.

"Nothing’s wrong with you."

That’s what Marc’s doctor told him.
But his body said otherwise…

He limped when he walked.
He couldn’t sit without cringing.
He felt like a shell of the husband and dad he wanted to be.

The worst part?
He was made to feel like the pain was all in his head.

But after a year of chasing treatments…
Marc tried something different.

He stopped trying to get "fixed"...
…and started learning a framework to heal himself.

Just 5 weeks into the Glute Relief Accelerator, Marc sent me this update:
✅ He’s walking normally
✅ Sitting longer without spiraling
✅ Showing up for his family again—mentally and physically

No sheet of generic exercises.
No cracking or popping.
No $5,000 MRI.

Just a proven 4-step system that teaches you how to understand your pain, retrain your brain, and get back to the life you love.

If Marc can do it, so can you.

Just like taking the wrong medicine could make you worse... so too can doing the wrong exercise. Movement = medicine... test, don't guess- and choose wisely.

I saw something this morning that reminded me of why so many people in pain get stuck...

A locked gate blocking the gravel driveway ahead…
But right beside it?

A trail where the grass was completely worn down.
Clearly, people had just walked around it.
No code. No key. No waiting for someone to open it.

They simply found another path around.

And that’s exactly what I wish people understand about pain.

Most people think the only way forward is through the “gatekeepers”:

❌ Doctors who say “let’s try another MRI”
❌ PTs handing out the same cookie-cutter exercises
❌ Chiropractors doing the same adjustments for everyone
❌ Or worse—being told “you’ll just have to live with it”

But here's the truth:
You don’t need someone to “open the gate” for you.
Just take the shortcut.

Pain is not always a sign of damage.
It’s often a signal that your nervous system is sensitized.
And you can retrain it—if you know how.

Using safe gentle motions combined with a new understanding of what pain is and why it occurs... you begin to understand it, work with it, and reduce it—naturally.

And we’re not talking about pain management here… the goal is 100% pain relief.

Here’s the takeaway:

🧠 You can wait for someone to give you permission to heal…
…or you can take healing into your own hands.

No more waiting...
No more bouncing between specialists…
No more doing all the “right things” but still hurting…
No more relying on someone or something to fix you.

It’s about learning a system that puts you in the driver seat- finally connects the dots and makes everything “click.”

13 Years. $150K. 10 Diagnoses. 0 Pain.

A memory popped across my feed today of a woman named Elaine...

Elaine spent 13 years battling pain.
She saw countless doctors, had over 30 steroid injections, was told she needed a full hip replacement at 24, and even considered disability by 25.

She was skeptical—very skeptical.
She even told me she didn’t believe I could help.

But just 8 days after our first call, she became pain-free for the first time in 13 years.

No surgery.
No pills.
No injections.

Just one thing: a willingness to think differently.

If you’ve been told your pain is permanent…
If you’ve been given a laundry list of diagnoses like fibromyalgia, compressed nerves, bulging discs, piriformis syndrome, hip bursitis…

You must hear this:
You are not broken.
There is a way forward.
Given the right knowledge, tools, and support you can get your life back again...

If Elaine can do it, so can you.

4 months of "piriformis" pain fading fast...

Marc (a member of my Glute Relief Accelerator Program) just had a huge win:

“A weekend of soccer, long stretches of walking, hauling gear—and no discomfort in my glute or leg.”

But that’s not even the best part.
He said he felt confident. More like his true self.
He had fun with friends—something pain had stolen from him for too long.

How’d he do it?
By trusting the process.
By sending himself messages of safety—instead of spiraling into fear.

Pain relief isn’t just about movement.
It’s about mindset, confidence, and learning to live more at-ease...

Kelly had back and sciatica pain since 2009.

She works with orthopedic surgeons.

Tried all the standard stuff.

Nothing stuck.
Nothing worked.
Nothing gave her lasting relief.

But now?

She doesn't even think about her pain.

16 years of pain gone in 8ish weeks...

“I have the tools to get back to life and know what to do if there’s a setback.”
“And I’m using what I’ve learned in every area of life—not just my right buttock :)”

This isn’t just about pain relief.
This is what happens when you finally stop outsourcing your healing—
And start learning how to take back control.

If you’ve been stuck for years… you’re not out of options.
Healing starts from within.

Most people never quit fast enough.
They keep bouncing from one thing to another...

Because they believe it will eventually help...

Or because they’ve already paid for a certain number of treatments...

Meanwhile, they’re killing time.

Thankfully, after trying everything, Kathy and I crossed paths.

“I quit everything. Chiropractor. Theragun. All the exercises. I focused on ONE thing… and the hip pain is gone.”

If you’re doing “everything” and nothing’s working…
You don’t need more options.
You need a better system.

Trying everything = NOT trying one thing.

Do less.

Her pain lasted a decade.

“I wish I would have found you sooner.”

In 6 weeks she’s back to life.

What changed it?

Her pain didn’t go away by accident.

It went away because she stopped fearing it.

Fear fuels pain. Fearless = painless.

We teach people how to stop bracing for pain and start moving with confidence.

That’s where freedom starts.
