Thyroid Strong

I get this question all the time from the Hashi ladies, "What if I can't get my work out in? What should I do?" Today in Thyroid Strong Podcast, I share with you my thoughts in exercise snacks as a past guest Martin Gabala calls them or what I like to refer to as "microdosing" your workouts. I share how you can still get the metabolic benefits and cardiovascular benefits if you microdose your workouts throughout your day.

What if you knew during your lift, if your body put itself into a certain position, that you had hit fatigue? What if you knew exactly how many reps and how many sets to do based on what your body was telling you? That is what we're gonna talk about today.

This topic is near and dear to my heart and comes from 14 years of clinical experience treating patients from a rehabilitation, strength, and autoimmune perspective. There is a certain pathological position your body will naturally default into when it is fatigued or it is nearing failure in an exercise. I call it extension compression compensation. In this episode, I'll talk about how this position happens, when you see this, how this is improperly cued by trainers, and how this positioning leads to injury.

In this Episode:

00:00 Intro

00:45 A pathological position in the low back when we fatigue

1:13 What is Extension Compression Compensation

1:53 Why does low back pain happen?

2:36 What ECC is called by other movement systems

4:22 What babies who are not hitting their milestones do

5:45 Why do we want spinal stiffness when we lift

6:27 Why is intra-abdominal pressure important?

9:08 Why not focus on getting a back canyon

10:51 Facet joint injury

12:38 Imbibition of the disc and discogenic injury

14:49 Spinal Stenosis

15:40 Why do I prefer a front squat to a back squat

16:20 Why I prefer a floor press to an overhead press

10:01 Why I prefer a kettlebell overhead press over a barbell overhead press

20:07 Why Is low back pain so common when lifting weights

What if there was one tool out there that you haven't tried yet to help your Hashimoto's symptoms? We are talking all about cold exposure or ice baths with co-founder of Morozko Forge Adriene Jezick. She shares how she used cold immersion to help put her 3 autoimmune conditions into remission.

Adrienne Jezick began her practice with Deliberate Cold Exposure for healing in October 2017. In 2013 she was diagnosed with three Autoimmune diseases; Hashimoto's, Urticaria, and Eosinophilic Esophagitis. That is when she began her quest for greater health. Since developing a regular DCE regimen, she has reversed all traces of Autoimmune and is now guiding others to do the same. She created The Morozko Method, a sensory immersion meditation technique for Deliberate Cold Exposure, and hosts workshops to certify other guides. She is Co-Owner and Co-Founder of Morozko Forge, the world's first ice bath. She is also the creator of The Morozko Method Podcast, sharing the healing journey of the people she meets.

If you're struggling with fatigue, this is one of the two biggest struggles women share living with Hashimoto’s. I share my top five things you can start to do immediately to start to increase your energy. If you get your energy back, you can do anything with that energy. 

This podcast is in response today because I got an email from a woman who is struggling with fatigue and she hasn't even started the Thyroid Strong program yet, and she shares:

“Pain is not the issue or moving out of pain. It's the debilitating fatigue. I can barely get down the stairs to let the dog out, much less to do a warmup or a routine. There's zero energy, very frightening levels of fatigue without different medication and intervention. So obviously she should touch base with her medical provider to get her labs run again, but this is a very common symptom.”
