If you’re training hard and still waking up wrecked, it’s not “aging”—it’s bad strategy. This episode hands you a simple, brutal-truth blueprint to move better, feel better, and stop fighting your own body.

Host Stacey Chillemi sits down with Tarek Michael Chouja, co-founder of the Functional Training Institute (FTI), to break down how breath, posture, mobility, and mindfulness work together to build a strong, resilient, pain-free body that actually performs. No fluff, just what works.

You’ll learn:

💡 The 60-second self-check to spot hidden movement limitations

📣 Tarek’s “anti-desk” micro-routine for real humans who sit all day

🌬️ How breath + movement = better focus and less stress

🏋️ How to know if you need strength, mobility, or recovery (and stop guessing)

🗓️ A 2x/week minimalist plan busy people can actually stick to

If you’re tired of grinding through pain and calling it “beast mode,” this episode shows you how to train like a pro—not a martyr.
