In this episode, we sit down with Jaime Alvarado, a physical therapist and owner of Goefit, a gym in South Florida, to explore the intersection of strength training, rehabilitation, and the power of the mind in recovery.

Tune in as we discuss:

• Jaime’s journey into physical therapy—how his own experiences with injury, combined with his uncle’s battle with cancer, inspired his career path.

• Why strength training became his ultimate tool for recovery and its vital role in rehab.

• The key differences between cash-based and insurance-based physical therapy models.

• Redefining rehab—how blending strength training with recovery methods pushes past perceived physical limits.

• Jaime’s top five recovery tools: rockfloss, inversion tables, infrared light, Graston technique, and muscle guns.

• Why he believes the majority of healing is mental - how to break free from self-limiting beliefs and injury-based identities

• Rolfing and how fascia can store emotional trauma.

• How plant medicine influenced his spiritual journey and connection to Christ.

• How the transformative power of EMDR therapy has helped with his own healing
