November 26, 20218 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 29 - Continue to honor your past.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
We talk about an example of how important it is to tell your story uninterrupted, and to make sure people are listening, truly listening to what you want to get across. This case example underscores as well how critical it is to share your past challenges and fears, no matter how silly they may be.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
Start from the beginning and explain what you have been through.

Honor what you have been through.

Dr. Pearson goes through a case with a gal that had gotten injured on the job a few years ago.

She couldn’t get her scapula into place, which caused chronic pain.

The gal was holding and pulling the door as a bigger guy was on the other side trying to push open the door.

Suddenly the door jarred open a few inches.

That had caused her slight pain and all the people who tried to help her thought it was just shoulder pain.

This is a person who was misunderstood.

Upon examination, Dr. Pearson noticed she was able to move her arm just fine when her scapula was held in place.

The little muscles next to the thoracic spine were put under so much strain they shut off.

Dr. Pearson gave her some exercises to help her brain remember how to use those muscles.

The pain and the fear were not just because of her shoulder pain it was also because of her past experience with cancer.

If doctors are told about everything in your past it is easier for them to tell you that it is not the cause and will be able to put your mind at ease when you overthink things.

Don’t be afraid to tell the people who are helping you that you don’t think their diagnosis is correct and why.

Do not throw your past into your future.

Dr. Pearson tells us about a gentleman that was in an accident and had to have a disc fusion.

Recognize that there is always a reason for chronic pains and there are ways of fixing it if you have an open mind.

Dr. Pearson walks us through doing a slow sit up.

In doing that exercise the gentleman discovered that he wasn’t engaging his abdominal muscles.

Thinking about his past he realized what caused him to stop using those muscles and he had no idea that you could traumatize a part of your body so much that your brain shuts it off.

Learn to retain movement in your body even if you have someone assist you.

Pay attention to your past and think about what could have happened to cause your mind to shut off a part of your body.

EPISODE SUMMARY:
If you are frustrated with securing pain in a particular part of your body, you might be overlooking an important action step. Come and explore the art of forgiveness, not only towards your body but towards the person you might be holding responsible for your suffering.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
Forgive the part of your body that seems like a weak link.

Learn your body and why part of your body might not be 100%

When in a car accident did the person who hit you apologize?

It appears that when someone says they are sorry, the person tends to heal quicker.

Dr. Pearson talks about the two nervous systems.

Be present with your body and learn to let go.

Dr. Pearson goes over an exercise to help us learn our body and how to pay attention to the pain, the hardening, the tension, or the pulsing.

Your thoughts influence matter.

Take time to really know your body and how to forgive it because it’s really important.

Holding a memory over your body will only cause it to continue and/or strengthen.

Talk to someone, talk to a friend, write it in a journal, whatever you have to do to let it go and forgive.

What is mentionable is manageable.

November 08, 20218 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 26 - Movement Patterns
EPISODE SUMMARY:
This episode talks about how to groove your motor (and mental) patterns that will either define happiness and pain free living or just the opposite!
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
A case study, some generic stories, and my class reunion all tying into patterns.

Daily activities program your body into doing things without even thinking about it.

You do something so much it can even define you or become a signature.

Often some of these movements can be the cause of pain.

Dr. Pearson talks about bending over and touching your toes.

Is there a good arch or is your back straight?

Not bending properly will cause disc issues, due to strain.

Dr. Pearson tells us about a 50-year-old, very fit male who has acute lower back pain.

Dr. Pearson talks about a pattern or habit she has while drying her hair.

Mothers with kids that sit in the back seat of the car tend to not turn properly or reach back.

We learn a great stretch that will help us learn how to arch our backs like a Halloween cat.

Placing a sandbag on your back while arching helps strengthen your back and reprogram yourself on a proper arch.

Do this, two sets of ten.

Look deep into yourself and figure out what is the starting point for you bending wrong. Change your pattern and you will help change the pain.

Dr. Pearson talks about her class reunion.

Self-talk runs deeper than you think.

October 28, 20218 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 25 - Little bit by little bit makes the biggest changes
EPISODE SUMMARY:
In this episode, Dr. Pearson talks to us about her sister and the chronic pain that she was able to help her reduce. Though it doesn’t seem like it, sometimes changes made little bit by little bit will make the biggest changes in your life.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
Dr. Pearson listens to her mom asking her to help her sister stop taking so many drugs for the chronic pain that she is in daily.

Her sister’s diet was not the healthiest so she made a few small changes.

Dr. Pearson suggests she start with a Vitamix smoothie in the morning.

Her sister noticed that she had more energy.

Instinctively she realized that dairy wasn’t good for her; for a week she cut dairy out of her diet altogether and noticed it helped with her bowel movements, she lost weight and overall felt better.

Dr. Pearson sent her sister information on gluten and what it does to you. She also tells us about it.

Her sister noticed the pain going away just because she used less gluten.

Dr. Pearson lovingly nudged her sister to read the two bounce protocol in her book. It worked in reducing the pain in her upper back and she added it to her daily routine.

Over the next month, she read the whole book.

On a holiday trip, Dr. Pearson got her sister and herself a massage. Her sister felt that it was life-changing and now gets them regularly.

She continues to work with the changes she has made little by little and she has been the one to take the next step.

Dr. Pearson understands that meds help with the pain, but if you have someone who can help you slowly substitute new good things for the hard things why wouldn’t you.

Her sister is now hopeful instead of feeling hopeless.

Little bits of changes noted over many years have completely changed life

October 21, 20218 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 24 - Lower Back & Case Study
EPISODE SUMMARY:
This week we talk about the lower back and gluteus muscles. Dr. Pearson will walk us through a great exercise to help strengthen these muscle groups and she will go over a case study with us.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
If you don’t have good strength in your glutes then you will most likely always have back pains.

Dr. Pearson talks about the importance of hip hinging.

When hinging you do not want your knees to stick out further than your feet. You want to see your feet.

When bending over you do want to use your glutes, you do not want to use your back as you will cause more pain.

To help strengthen these muscles Dr. Pearson will walk you through a great exercise to help.

Try to not use your hamstrings as much as possible and keep your back straight not arched.

You will do 3 sets of 10 rest for 10-15 seconds in between.

The squat exercise is not bad for you if you have good form and are doing it properly.

In the case study Dr. Pearson does an exercise laying down.

October 14, 20218 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 23 - Mid Back & 2 Case Studies
EPISODE SUMMARY:
This week we talk about mid-back muscles and a couple case studies. Dr. Pearson will go over a couple of great stretches to help you with shoulder and neck pains. Next week we will cover lower-back muscles.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
We will be going over a couple of case studies.

There are two muscle groups

This week we will be going over the muscles in the upper body and next week the lower body.

Mid-back muscles often get elongated and yes, it can be corrected.

All muscle groups are connected so if one area is off other parts of the body will be off.

If someone has neck or shoulder pain it can be caused by mid-back muscles not functioning in the proper position.

One gentleman had front shoulder pain. Dr. Pearson pressed against his scapula and his chest to help straighten his posture. When he lifted his arms again the pain was gone.

To fix this problem you need to straighten your scapula retractor muscles. Dr. Pearson walks us through a great stretch to help.

You need to do the stretch every day for at least two weeks.

Dr. Pearson goes over another case study with a gal who has left-sided neck pain. Another stretch is described to us to help with smaller one sided muscle aches.

September 30, 20218 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 20 - A Case Study
EPISODE SUMMARY
This episode focuses on a woman with chronic neck pain who tried literally everything. When it came right down to it we were able to identify some unconscious movement patterns that were contributing to the problem, and once we sorted that out we were able to give her some exercises to turn the corner for her.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
Dr. Kelli talks about a client that had chronic neck and back pains.

Dr. Kelli discusses her client’s range of motion during examinations.

She began stretches, hydration, and supplements that helped, but did not fully get rid of the problem.

Through more examinations it was apparent that the glutes were not firing the same. So Dr. Kelli had her do some mild squats and walking on hills to push with her leg to engage the glute.

The neck pains seemed to get about 50% better with pushing her glutes.

Dr. Kelli realized that something else had to be causing these pains along with the glutes so she looked at her breathing.

The client began doing the stretches that are talked about in the previous episode 10 times a day and continued working with her glutes.

She seems to be doing much better as it’s been a long time since Dr. Kelli has seen her.

It is extremely important to engage the mid-back muscles.

Remember once you start you can’t stop working these areas or it will not continue to get better or stronger.
