Ep 51 How to Improve Your Ergo by Building (the right) Muscles

2024-06-1410:46

Do you feel like your ergonomics aren’t great? Or better yet have you invested in ergo loupes and a saddle stool but still have pain? Your “poor” ergo isn’t what you think it is. It’s really just muscle weakness. Just like brushing and flossing go hand in hand, so does strengthening and ergonomics! We need to correct our imbalances by building our weak muscles to have a balanced body. Then, as a result, your ergo will naturally improve and you won’t even have to think about it. Listen in to hear how to build muscle and improve your ergo at the same time:) Stay Strong, Brianne Additional Resources: FREE Balanced Hygienist Toolkit-> https://www.builtbybrianne.com/copy-of-balanced-hygienist-toolkit Instagram-> @built_by_brianne Join the FB Community-> Fitness Tips for Dental Hygienists | Facebook Get your freebies-> Builtbybrianne.com

Ep 49 Why I Don’t Track MACROS (and What to do Instead)

2024-05-3111:44

MACROS is such a buzz word nowadays in the fitness industry. The funny thing is that it’s been around forever (formally known as IIFYM). While tracking macros is a tool that can help you achieve your goals, it’s not a long term solution. Tracking can be very tedious and time consuming and most people don’t track accurately. My goal as a coach is always to make a hygienist's life easier, not more difficult. So today I am sharing another way to manage your portions that is way easier and takes hardly any time at all.

Ep 48 Why I Dislike Fitness Challenges (and What to do Instead)

2024-05-2413:00

If you are into fitness, chances are you have done a fitness challenge before. While it may be fun or exciting, at the end of the day, fitness challenges are just another quick fix. Hygienists have enough quick fixes you don’t need any more! On top of that, if you have an all or nothing mentality, a challenge is going to make you go 0 to 100 which is not sustainable. As well as any results you get, they won’t last long either. This is not my fitness philosophy. My goal for all of my clients is to have a plan that is realistic, and sustainable LONG TERM. This is how you get results that last. Tune in to learn more!

Ep 47 Why You Aren’t Seeing the Results of Your Workouts

2024-05-1712:22

Do you workout consistently but don’t see the results you strive for? Do you still have pain despite putting in the effort to get fit and healthy? There is one reason why this is. While muscle imbalances play a part in this (because your body is not working together optimally), you’re not able to execute exercises properly. Your body is compensating. I see this daily! Just like you see a patient doing a simple task like brushing their teeth incorrectly, exercise is SOOOOO much more complex! If you aren’t doing things efficiently, what’s the point? Today I’m giving you three examples on how to properly perform exercises. You don’t want to miss this!

Ep 46 Why REST DAYS are Crucial for Building Muscle

2024-05-1010:13

Do you workout consistently but don’t see the toned, defined look you hope for? A lot of hygienists come to me looking to build muscle which is a great goal but, in talking with them, I see most often they are doing all the wrong things. In order to build muscle, we need to rest so that our muscles have time to repair and grow. If you are working out 6 days a week, you are doing way too much and hindering the results you could have. More is not better when it comes to building muscle! Not to mention that working out too much increases muscle soreness as well as the risk of injury. Listen in to hear why REST will skyrocket your results.

Ep 45 From Exhausted After Work to ENERGIZED: Rachael's Story

2024-05-0312:21

In today’s episode I am sharing my client Rachael’s transformation. Rahael shares that because of her neck, shoulder, trap, and upper back pain, it was a struggle to get through her day. After work she would come home and just want to lay down in bed. She was too exhausted to cook dinner or play with her daughter. She actually had taken 3 months off of work completely due to her chronic neck pain and because of this, she knew she needed to do something for herself. Since working with me, her pain has lessened and she now has way MORE ENERGY to do things after work, like give her daughter a bath <3 Tune in to hear her story now.

Ep 43 Why HIIT is SHIT

2024-04-1909:04

We’ve all heard of high intensity interval training. The name says it all-high intensity is the exact opposite of what hygienists that are dealing with pain and muscle imbalances need. You muscles, bones, joints, connective tissues are misaligned. High impact workouts are extremely hard on your joints and only do more damage! Hygienists need LOW IMPACT, slow and controlled movements..not to just burn a bunch of calories. So listen in to hear why HIIT is not beneficial for your body and your career and what to do instead!

Ep 40 From Feeling Crappy to Feeling AMAZING: Jennifer’s story

2024-03-2912:03

Hey teeth lover, In today’s episode I am sharing my client Jennifer’s transformation. Jennifer was 8 years into hygiene and suffered from neck pain, back pain, and upper trap pain.

Fast forward to now, she feels AMAZING and like a whole new person. She can get through her day and not have pain, she isn’t crabby or snappy with her husband, and she was able to play badminton with her son after work. Jennifer is proof that when you put in the time to work to benefit your body and fix your imbalances, your life will be changed.

Ep 39 Is Your Back WEAK?

2024-03-2210:55

Hey teeth lover, Do you feel like your back is weak? Have you been told you need to “strengthen your back?” I hear this a lot. The truth is this..we need to understand WHY your back is weak. Not all of the muscles in your back are weak. In fact, there are muscles in your back that aren’t weak- they are overactive. One muscle in particular actually affects your upper body pain and often contributes to shoulder pain. You can’t just go do a bunch of rows to try and strengthen. The body doesn’t work like this. So listen in to learn what muscles in the back are weak and how to fix this!

Ep 38 My #1 Workout Hack to Relieve Chronic Pain

2024-03-1512:33

Hey teeth lover, Do you workout consistently but still experience pain? Hygienists tell me daily that they workout to: prevent injury, have longevity in their career, and overall in their daily life. However, I find that hygienists aren’t doing the appropriate workouts to actually support these goals. If you workout regularly and still have pain, this is a major red flag that what you have been doing is not benefiting you. You need to train smart, not hard. So listen in if you want to learn the one simple hack every hygienist needs to know to workout to be PAIN-FREE! P.S.

Ep 36 The Silent Signs of Burnout: Part I

2024-03-0122:09

Hey teeth lover, Today I am chatting with a guest expert who is not only an RDH, she is a stress management coach for other RDHs. Having gone through burnout herself, she talks about the hidden signs that she overlooked, or thought were “normal”. While I am an expert in fitness for RDHs, I am not an expert on the mental health challenges that come with practicing clinically. I am passionate about helping RDHs live their best lives but if our mental state is not good, there’s no point to even think about focusing on our physical health.

Ep 34 Built by Brianne's CORE VALUE

2024-02-1609:30

Hey teeth lover, I often have hygienists asking me how I got started working with dental hygienists and I’ve never shared the real story before. About 4 years ago when I started my business I didn’t feel aligned. See to me fitness is so much more than being fit-it’s about preventing pain, injury, disease, and being able to move freely. So I knew I needed to pivot. Being a woman of faith, I decided to start 2022 fresh and asked for guidance from the Lord. He showed me the path to take so that I could be a vessel to serve others with the gifts that he gave me. My entire business is founded on faith and it is all thanks to Him. This is His business, not mine. Wherever this business takes me, I trust and owe it all to Him + Stay Strong, Brianne Additional Resources: Join the FB Community: Fitness Tips for Dental Hygienists | Facebook Get your freebies-> Builtbybrianne.com Instagram -> @built_by_brianne

Ep 33 MOBILITY for Optimal Health

2024-02-0911:45

Hey teeth lover, Is your goal to get rid of pain and prevent injury? Then you MUST include this piece of the puzzle! While fixing your imbalances and building muscle is key to having a strong healthy body, there is more to it. We can build muscle all day but if we don’t have MOBILITY, we don’t have a strong foundation. Having good mobility equals healthy joints which is the foundation for everything. So by having good mobility, we have an optimal range of motion which allows us to recruit more muscle fibers during our workouts which allows us to build more muscle. Win win. Listen in to learn how we can improve our mobility to prevent injury.

Ep 32 Ergo Relief and Easing Pain

2024-02-0210:21

Hey teeth lover, Today I am talking about a hot topic in dentistry and that is ergonomics. While this is an extremely important topic, it is simply a piece of the puzzle. Whether you have perfect ergonomics or you need to work on yours, the truth is that you can’t out ergonomic muscle imbalances! You can buy the fancy loupes, instruments, and saddle stools, etc. but if you aren’t strengthening the right muscles, your body won’t be able to sustain these neutral positions!! Strengthening and ergonomics go hand in hand just like brushing and flossing. Listen in to learn more about strengthening to help with your ergonomics.
