5 Steps To Weightloss After 40 with Mike Fave #017
About My Guest
Mike Fave:
"With 6 years in the hospital trenches as an RN, my true passion has always been independent research.
Years before ever working in the hospital I had my head inside a Pubmed article/ physiology textbook, and my heart in some type of crazy diet or supplement experiment.
In the beginning of this journey I damaged my health getting caught up in dietary dogma.
It only got worse when I went the western medical route to try to fix the damage.
It’s taken me years to recover, but I don’t regret it.
Along the way I have learned significantly from my experiences.
I have seen all sides of the spectrum from being a patient, to being a practitioner, to being apart of the alternative health scene.
I know the pain of being severely sick and at your wits end.
I know whats it’s like to see an MD who can’t afford to give you the time of day.
I also know the value of a practitioner who genuinely knows what they’re doing and is willing to spend the time working with you.
With this I use my lessons, experiences, and knowledge to help you not only avoid the mistakes I’ve made, but to rebuild your health without the dogma, ideology, or authoritarianism."
Summary
In this episode, Leah Vachani and Lara dive into the fascinating connection between chronic pain and movement, showing how pain isn’t just physical but also shaped by our brain’s neuroplasticity. Lara shares eye-opening insights on how movement can actually help manage pain, especially as we age, and how shifting our mindset about pain can transform our relationship with our bodies. If you're ready to break free from pain and embrace a more vibrant, active life, this episode is packed with practical strategies and inspiration to help you get there!
