This is another episode that I have done in the past that I think a lot of people got a lot of value from. So, I wanted to just put this one back on just in case you haven't been following me last year.

In this episode, I discuss three neck pain relief strategies that generally don't work long term, and what I teach my clients in the Pain Free Academy instead. I've learned these 3 unconventional methods through diving into the research and from personal experience as a person who struggled with years of persistent neck pain.

If you have neck pain that sidelines you from activities you love or from family activities, and you struggle with stiffness in your neck getting out of bed and going to work, this is the episode for you.

I also speak later in this episode about a specific foam roll that I keep in my office at all times to prevent neck pain, and it's called the intelliroll. It has specific grooves that align with your neck and back. You can go to www.flexwithdoctorjay.online/intelliroll and use code DRJAY for a 15% discount.

This is an episode that I think a lot of people got a lot of value from. And so wanted to just put this one back on just in case you haven't been following me in 2022.

In this episode, I discuss 3 physiological and mental benefits to giving gratitude daily, followed by 3 practical strategies that I use daily to practice gratitude. 

Gratitude by definition is the readiness to show appreciation and return kindness, and it's also the gesture of being thankful. 

This Thanksgiving, let's not take it for granted and simply give thanks during Thanksgiving. Use this episode as a reminder to practice it daily, and you'll find far more success financially, spiritually, mentally, and physically than you ever imagined. 

Listen in and reap the benefits!

If you're short on time and never feel like you have a chance to breathe or to get in exercise, I'll teach you a few strategies I use to maximize my time.

Since we need to spend time to get rid of our pain, exercise more, we need to have a better footing or control of our time.

I say this to my clients is that time spent in pain is time spent away from things you truly want to do.

So rather than delay things and wait for pain to worsen --i.e only uses more time in your life...

It's better to learn these strategies and create more time to incorporate pain relief strategies.

This is a livestream from this past Friday regarding SIJ or low back pain, and what muscles I specifically focus on for low back pain relief or relief from sacroiliac joint pain.

I tell you exactly which muscles I focus on, exercise examples for each, and share the exact movement patterns to incorporate to strengthen each of them.

I also lastly dive into how the body is one large kinetic chain, the cons of relying on manual treatment for SIJ dysfunction specifically, and how to find sustainable relief from chronic pain.

Hope you enjoy!

This was an amazing interview with one of my most ambitious clients, Larry, who suffered with neck pain that became so bad that he lost strengthen in his dominant arm.

The neck has delicate relations to the nerves that go down the arm and control sensation and motor control. So when nerves are pinched acutely or chronically over time, it can lead to temporary but sometimes permanent weakness of your arm.

This was Larry’s fear, considering how often he used that arm for weight training, exercise, and being at the computer for his job.

After weeks of working with him, we were able to eliminate majority of his neck pain, restore function in his arm, and get him back to a state of normalcy.

I’ve been thankful to meet people like Larry who was ambitious enough but brave enough to seek out rehab and coaching outside of traditional means to get him to his health goals.

Wanna know the secret sauce to being consistent with exercise?

Many will have different driving factors.

Some just wanna look good, but in my opinion, it’s a shallow factor and therefore you can become inconsistent.

Some are motivated when they’re in pain. When pain is bad, you do something about it!

But when there’s little to no pain, many will become inconsistent or stop exercising because the pain’s not there anymore.

So how can you stay brutally consistent so that you can live longer, be healthier, and not fall ill or disabled with getting older?

For me, it’s family.

I share my driving factors as to what makes me so consistent that I guarantee I’ll always be healthy and fit as I get older.

It’s a bit of an emotional episode talking about family and all.

But I hope it inspires at least one person that listens.

And I hope that’s you!

See you there,

Dr. Jay

One of my favorite things to do is to interview my clients months after they’ve worked with us and to see how they’re still showing up for themselves.

My client, Ray, reached out many months after working with me, and he told me was 27 lbs less, lifting heavier than ever, and NOT experiencing any more low back pain after suffering a severe disc herniation.

This episode was quite emotional for me when filming this, because it shows I’ve truly found my place in this world.

However you decide to impact others around you, do it in a way that’s wholesome and fulfilling.

Hear Ray’s journey as he dives into where he was emotionally and physically with severe back pain, to where he is in 2023.

This is a huge Q&A talking about 3 very important topics.

1. What do you do if you have a fear of pain or fear that pain will never go away?
2. How do you return to running after a knee surgery (or any other surgery)?
3. How do you make exercise feel fun, easy, and effortless?

I dive into great detail uncovering each topic here and giving you real-life practical strategies and how to change your perspective to making your body work for you and not against you.

If you can, please leave a 5 star review on Spotify or Apple. That’d be helpful towards sharing my passions and expertise with others, and you’d be a huge contributor to growing this channel.

Ever take a vacation and you just lose all steam and motivation, you gain the weight back, and it just absolutely deflates your spirits?

Been there, done that, friend!

But what if there was a way to stay consistent during vacation?

I’m no stranger to always exercising no matter where I’m at.

I love to enjoy my vacation but I still make exercise a non-negotiable.

If this ever crossed your mind, then this is a great episode for you!

If you’re pretty set in saying “I will veg out and do nothing on my vacation”, then this is not the episode for you.

But if your goal is to be consistent and to make exercise a part of your life no matter what, slap on your ear buds and have a listen!

Answer these 4 questions, here.

1. Wanna get stronger as you get older?
2. Wanna lose weight to take stress off your joints and fit into your old clothes again?
3. Wanna feel more confident and be pain free again?
4. Do you want to do that now and achieve all these at the same time?

I think this episode covers all that!

Now you might have to listen to this one a couple of times, cause there’s some golden nuggets to take from this podcast episode.

This is definitely not an episode where you simply listen and be like “great…that was a good listen”

This is more like “I need to get a pen and paper because this can absolutely change the game for my health forever!”

Because I tell you in this episode exactly how to lose 1 lb per week predictably, how to get stronger and more resilient over time, and how you can structure your own strength and nutrition program for yourself.

Hope you find it helpful!

If you wanna cut through the noise, not risk making mistakes making this all yourself, send me a DM on Instagram “Podcast” to @flexwithdoctorjay and I’ll know you listened to this episode but need direct advice for your specific goals.

Send a DM @flexwithdoctorjay with “Podcast” to get some personalized help!
