Have You Ever Wondered if Your Chronic Pain Might Have Deeper, Hidden Roots in Your Inner Organs? (Previously episode 5 of season 2)
In this eye-opening episode of TMI Talk, Dr. Mary Grimberg welcomes Anna Hartman, an athletic trainer who provides private consulting to professional athletes for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization. She also teaches physical therapists and athletic trainers how to get better outcomes by combining an osteopathic approach with a traditional orthopedic approach for assessment and treatment (manual and exercise-based) for injuries, pain, and performance. Her approach considers the whole person- including the viscera and the nervous system, not just the musculoskeletal system.
They dive deep into the often-overlooked realm of visceral referral and its critical impact on musculoskeletal health. If you've been struggling with persistent low back or pelvic pain and traditional treatments haven't worked, this episode might just be the revelation you've been searching for.
Key Highlights:
Discover how a holistic approach considering both the mind and body can bring you closer to relief and a better quality of life. Listen to the full episode and take the first step towards understanding the bigger picture of your pain.

We have so many impossible beauty standards that we live by and I hope that my talk with Hayden will help you get to where you want to be to feel better in your body!

Are you already perimenopausal? Or are you curious about what happens during the perimenopause stage? I sat down with Dr. Andrea George to talk all about perimenopause.
People are more familiar with menopause that’s why we are out here talking about perimenopause because so many changes happen to our bodies during this time.

Imagine having symptoms during those years and you are in the dark of why these changes are happening to your body!
