This solo episode digs into a simple but uncomfortable question:

Jimmy breaks down the full “claim spectrum” from safe to dangerous, outlines why PTs often imply more than they say, and gives you 7 practical questions to audit your own messaging.

It’s not about lying.

It’s about expectations.

And the fact that marketing preloads belief before a patient even walks through the door.
