Don’t do planks. Don’t do yoga. Don’t move too much or you’ll hurt yourself.” Listening to that advice only left her weaker, sicker, and more afraid of her own body.Like many people with hEDS, POTS, and MCAS, Lauren felt stuck.

More fatigue, more joint pain, and a sense that she would never get better.That all began to change when she discovered the Whealth Hypermobility Program. For the first time, she saw people with EDS and POTS building strength, getting stronger, and reclaiming their lives.

Nothing worked.In this powerful conversation with Cam, Sarah reveals how she finally broke free from the cycle of pain through non invasive back pain rehab inside the Whealth Limitless Program.Her story is about more than lasting pain relief. It is about rebuilding strength, reclaiming her identity, and proving that true recovery is possible without relying on endless medication or risky surgery.Sarah dives into: • Why mindset is just as important as movement in overcoming pain • How self assessment empowers you to understand your body’s true needs • The role of breathing mechanics in reducing pain and speeding recovery • Why the “boring but necessary” exercises are the foundation for long term healing • How traditional medical advice often relies on NSAIDs and injections but rarely offers lasting solutions • Why setbacks are normal and how consistency leads to breakthroughsBy shifting her approach, Sarah is now stronger in her 40s than she was as a college athlete. She lifts heavier than ever, feels empowered in her body, and finally knows how to manage her back without fear of another flare up.Chapters00:00 Journey Through Chronic Pain02:54 The Turning Point: Discovering Whealth’s Program05:48 The Disconnect in Medical Advice09:00 Understanding the Body: A New Perspective11:54 The Importance of Breathing and Movement15:01 Building Strength and Trust in the Body18:10 The Long Road to Recovery20:58 Mindset Shifts and Accountability23:59 The Role of Consistency in Healing27:08 Strength Beyond Pain: A New Normal36:44 Embracing Change After Injury39:48 The Power of Consistency and Trusting the Process46:04 Investing in Your Health for a Better Future52:14 Listening to Your Body: A New Perspective on Fitness56:44 Transforming Pain into Strength and Resilience01:01:40 Empowering Yourself Through Self-Care01:07:21 Who Should Join the Program?🙌 Why Watch This Episode?If you’re searching for answers about:How to overcome chronic pain without surgeryThe role of mindset in true recoveryWhy self-assessment is the missing link in healingHow strength training can rebuild trust in your bodyThe connection between pain and body compositionThe importance of community support and accountabilityLong-term self-care strategies that actually work…then this is your episode.Sarah’s story proves that pain doesn’t have to define your life.

From back surgery and chronic debilitating pain… to running, lifting, and moving freely again, I have my life back.5 years ago, I herniated two discs doing clean + jerk. I couldn’t walk for weeks due to pain. I became obsessed with recovery and healed fairly quickly, but relapsed with worse pain a few years later after a chiropractic adjustment sent electric pain shooting down my leg and completely debilitated me.For years, I spiraled with pain, anger, fear, depression, drinking, and debt. I dropped out of university and spent two years living in fear, blaming others, and feeling stuck in the past. Out of desperation, I got a microdiscectomy. I expected everything to change. It didn’t.A year post-surgery, still unable to run, lift, or feel normal, I joined the Whealth Limitless Programme. Having been a fan of “shirtless dude” on Instagram, I loved his meticulous approach, recognizing that you do have control despite chronic pain when everything tells you that you don’t.The daily structure of the Limitless workouts helped me chip away at sciatica, back, hip, and full body pain pain, rebuild my strength, relearn how to move and lift, and ultimately get my life back.What changed everything?• Structure- a clear, step-by-step plan forward• Community- pain is isolating, but I wasn’t alone anymore• Honesty- accepting where I was became the first step to changing itMost importantly, I learned from Whealth that you have a choice in chronic pain.Now, I’m lifting again, playing sports with friends, saying YES to life… and on **8/23, I’m running my first marathon to the hospital where I had surgery—**to show people in chronic pain what’s possible.Every day isn’t easy. But living pain-free is no longer the goal. Being stronger than yesterday is.Our Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters00:00 From Semi-Pro Athlete to Chronic Pain07:30 Disc Herniations, Sciatica, and Dropping Out15:00 How Pain Hijacked My Identity and Relationships22:30 The Injury That Came From a Chiropractor30:00 MRI Results, Surgery Pressure, and Doubt37:30 Why Taking Responsibility Was the Turning Point45:00 How the Whealth Program Changed My Mindset52:30 It Wasn’t a Magic Fix — But It Was Progress1:00:00 How I Overcame Flare-Ups and Kept Going1:07:30 The Cost of Surgery vs. the Value of Whealth1:15:00 What Holistic Healing Actually Looks Like1:22:30 Why I Finally Started Therapy (and Why It Helped)1:30:00 Back Pain Forums, Reddit, and the Harm of Over-Googling1:37:30 How to Tune Into Your Body and Block Out Noise1:45:00 Advice to Anyone Facing Chronic or Mental Pain1:52:30 What Life Looks Like Now — and Why I’m Grateful

Doctors, surgeons, and friends in the PT and chiropractic world told him surgery was inevitable. He was on four medications, wearing a back brace, and unable to stand up straight. But instead of going under the knife, Andrew committed to healing himself through movement, mindset, and lifestyle changes.Two years later, he was pain-free — and that recovery journey became the foundation for the Limitless Program and what is now Whealth.In this episode, Cam interviews Andrew about:-His lowest point living with back pain and sciatica-Why he refused surgery (despite everyone around him recommending it)-How movement and mindset helped him recover-The psychology of pain and why your environment matters-How Andrew created Whealth to help thousands of others heal-What kind of people actually succeed with the Limitless Program-The social, mental, and biological model of pain recovery-A client story that made Andrew emotional (must-hear at 54:18)If you’re searching for:How to heal a 10mm disc herniationNatural sciatica recovery storiesIs back surgery necessary for L4-L5 or L5-S1?What is the Limitless Program?Can pain be healed through movement and mindset?This episode is for you.Helpful Links:🔹 Limitless Program: https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-program🔹 Free Low Back Relief Series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-program🔹 Free Hypermobility Guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesOur Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters:00:00 Andrew’s Back Injury Story Begins01:23 Diagnosed with 10mm Herniation + Sciatica in Both Legs04:35 Wearing a Back Brace + Hobbling Around in Pain06:56 Why Andrew Said NO to Surgery09:18 The Confusing Nature of Pain + The Role of the Mind13:59 How a CrossFit Coach Helped Andrew Break Through20:41 Why Andrew Stopped Teaching People to Move Like Robots28:07 Who the Limitless Program Helps Best (Mindset vs. Diagnosis)54:18 Client Review That Moved Andrew to Reflect on His Journey

Austin was just 18 when doctors told him he’d never lift over 50 pounds again. Doctors told him surgery was inevitable.Diagnosed with two disc bulges (L5-S1 + L4-L5) and sciatica, he faced constant back pain and the looming pressure of surgery. He tried physical therapy, YouTube rehab videos, injections, and everything the traditional system had to offer but nothing worked.Then he found the Limitless Program and was pain-free in 5 weeks (program here: https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-program)In this episode, Austin shares how he completely rewired his mindset around pain and movement. He breaks down what Limitless taught him that PT and YouTube never could - like how pain is information, why there’s no one “right” way to move, and how he stopped living in fear of his body.What started with being able to load the dishwasher pain-free turned into walking 9+ miles a day at Disney, reclaiming his lifting goals, and helping others do the same as a strength and conditioning coach.Topics covered:L5-S1 disc herniation and chronic back painHow to heal without surgeryWhy physical therapy and YouTube rehab failedThe mindset shift that changed everythingHow Limitless gave Austin his life backFear of movement vs. confidence through guidanceHow pain is just information — not a life sentenceIf you're searching for:-How to fix an L5-S1 disc bulge naturally-Healing sciatica without surgery-Back pain rehab that actually works-Why physical therapy didn’t work for me-How to stop fearing pain and start healing-Functional rehab for athletes-Real stories from people who avoided spine surgery…this episode is for you.Our Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters00:00 Doctors Said I’d Need Surgery01:42 What the MRI Showed: L5-S1 Disc Bulge03:05 “Surgery, surgery, surgery”05:53 Walking Out on Traditional Healthcare07:50 “I Might Never Back Squat Again”09:15 Depression, Isolation, and Daily Struggles12:00 Finding the Limitless Program13:40 First Big Win: Loading the Dishwasher Without Pain15:43 Pain Sucks Physically — But Destroys You Mentally17:57 “Everything I Have I Attribute to Limitless”24:45 I Couldn’t Even Drive or Go to the Store44:11 I Don’t Fear Pain Anymore — I Fix It1:05:11 Disney Trip I Thought I’d Miss — I Walked 9 Miles a Day

After suffering an L1 compression fracture and two disc herniations (L3-L4 & L5-S1) with nerve root impingement, Whitney, a 36-year-old firefighter and mother of three, found herself unable to lift her toddler, sneeze without collapsing, or perform basic duties on the job. She was taken off work placed on light duty, something every firefighter dreads.Whitney tried everything: three ER visits, multiple specialists, injections, chiropractors, red light therapy, acupuncture, DNS, and more. Despite all her efforts, she was told she might need epidurals, medical-grade cement injections, or even surgery... yet she still wasn’t getting answers or real solutions.Frustrated and at a breaking point, she found the Whealth Limitless Program:👉 https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-programIn less than two months, Whitney became 95% pain free. She was lifting again, doing CrossFit, and fully cleared for active duty - back on the job she loves. In fact, she returned to full-duty firefighting within just one month of starting the program. Even her coworkers couldn’t believe how fast she recovered.What changed everything was the mindset shift and full-body approach that Limitless instilled in her. Instead of chasing quick fixes, the program helped her slow down and rebuild her body from the ground up - not just her back, but her ribs, pelvis, core, breath, feet, and mental resilience.Now, Whitney is not only back on her feet... she’s stronger than ever. And she’s become an advocate for other firefighters and first responders to take their health into their own hands, too.This episode covers:✔ Her injury and frustrating experience with the traditional medical system✔ The mindset and accountability that changed everything✔ Why the Whealth Limitless Program worked when nothing else did✔ Her message to others living with pain or looking for hopeWhether you’re battling chronic pain or just feeling stuck, Whitney’s story will light a fire under you. 🔥Chapters00:00 Injury Breakdown & Life Impact03:00 “I couldn’t pick up my toddler”06:30 Resistance, Doubt & the Turning Point11:00 Why Whealth Worked When Nothing Else Did25:00 Sneezing Without Pain Again33:00 How She’s Helping Other Firefighters45:00 Mindset, Accountability, and HealingOur Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resources

Are you finally ready to overcome your chronic pain? Save 15% on any Whealth Program using code KELSIESTONE at checkoutKelsie Stone, Whealth Hypermobility Program member writes:"I have a painful connective tissue disease called Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.Doctors called me a “moderate-to-severe” case. Chronic pain changed the physical structure of my brain – I was diagnosed with medically-induced c-PTSD.The pain was so constant that I broke my spine in three places and DIDN’T NOTICE. Doctors found it by accident after it already healed. hEDS and this pain made me think:Doctors told me: "You’ll never have kids, never get married. You’re too much of a burden. You’ll suffer your whole life."Doctors didn’t say much different than these thoughts. They offered narcotics. Injections. Surgeries. Treating symptoms, not the source. Then I noticed this strength-training program called Whealth on my timeline.Week after week, I saw free educational content on IG – and I started to wonder.Doctors commanded me not to work out, but this program claimed to be created by hypermobile people – people like me – specifically FOR us, and I had to know if it was real. So I took the plunge. I could always get a refund, right?Three 30-minute home workouts a week later… and my life has changed more than I ever knew it could. I’m strong now. I’m proud of my body.

In this episode, we sit down with Josh Bowman to hear his incredible journey of going from despair, anxiety, and chronic pain to a life filled with hope, strength, and the least amount of pain and symptoms he’s ever experienced—all while living with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). Diagnosed nearly a decade ago, Josh shares the struggles he faced trying to find answers and relief. After countless doctor visits where his symptoms were dismissed or misunderstood, Josh finally received an hEDS diagnosis—but with no actionable solutions. Physical therapy didn’t address his needs, and in some cases, his therapists focused on the wrong goals for hypermobility. Chiropractic care left him worse off, and he was left navigating a frustrating cycle of trial and error with no improvement. Everything changed when Josh found the Whealth Hypermobility Program. For the first time, he felt truly understood and supported. He explains how the program: • Taught him how to systematically and safely build strength. • Helped him reduce pain and regain confidence in his body. • Provided an empowering community of people who understood his challenges and inspired him to move forward. • Shifted his mindset from fear and limitation to hope and resilience. Josh now lives an active, joyful life—enjoying activities like pickleball, concerts, and much more—without the fear of injury that once held him back. If you’ve been searching for answers and hope while living with hEDS, this episode is packed with relatable experiences and actionable insights to inspire your journey. Key Takeaways: • Why traditional approaches often fail people with hypermobility and what works instead. • How the Whealth Hypermobility Program addresses the unique needs of people with hEDS. • The importance of community and mindset in transforming your life with hEDS. • Josh’s tips for overcoming fear and taking ownership of your journey.
