Do you feel like pain is just part of getting older? Maybe your back aches after a long day, your knees crack when you squat, or you've been told to "just stretch more", but it doesn't help. Then this episode is for you.

Today's guest is a Strength and Conditioning Specialist - Megan Dahlman, and she is here to flip that script. 

We Cover:

• The real reasons so many women experience pain in midlife (hint: not just aging)

• Why women often push through pain and how that backfires

• How declining estrogen affects joint health and inflammation

• Mechanical vs. chemical causes of pain, and how to tell the difference

• The "Big 3" behind alleviating back pain

• A rapid fire on popular pain management tools

• Simple movements that create long-term relief
